Well today I have managed to start painting the bathroom ceiling, Ems is working all day, my daughter is out. God knows where my son is, it's been 5 days since he said 'bye, so the house is empty.
2 coats already done and in between coats I can play on the laptop.
What a nice day so far!
I hate painting ceilings
Apart from the mess I hope you don't end up making a visit to your local chiropractor
If there`s only one thing I'm any good at...Its painting ceilings!!
My claim to fame.
All done, about 5 coats and just have to clean up
5 coats??Originally Posted by stevewool
What are you using?
Distemper?
It's only a small room but with window open wide and door open it's drying very quickly, plus I started 7 hours ago
Steve..I was a painter for 25 years or more. Most of my domestic work calls were from women married to men like you!!
Cheers,
fred!
Expect the call from Ems
5 coats is a bit over the top!
Not for my bathroom ceiling Les
... at least in the sense that you get a clearer idea of the progress you've made with each piece hung.
Don't suggest doing the ceiling this way, of course... though I have papered the long sloping 45 degree angle parts above a staircase in my time.
I have papered both Arthur, staircase and ceiling, the ceiling I gave 5 coats to is where the shower is, so I wanted a few coats up there to help with condensation from all that water
Ah ... I can see your logic there, Steve.should certainly prove worthwhile - adding extra coats to keep condensation at bay on a bathroom ceiling especially.
... acts as a pretty effective sealant!
Thanks Arthur
