Tips On How To Paint A ceiling!

There are jobs everyone hates to do. Cleaning the bathroom, picking up dog doo, cleaning litter boxes. Currently, I am in the process of doing a job I hate to do painting a ceiling. Usually, I paint ceilings every few years, unless someone tried to knock a spider off the ceiling with a shoe, which is what happened in this case. Besides craning your neck or having paint drip in your hair, the most frustrating part is losing track of where you already painted. If the ceiling you are painting is white and the paint is white, when it starts to dry, it is very difficult to keep track of where you left off. Because of this, I came up with a system to help keep me straight!

Here is said footprint on the ceiling. I did try to clean it but being a matte finish it is hard to get out.

I laid down plastic on the floor added an extension to my roller and was ready to go.

It is hard to see, which is why I use this system in the first place. I start in the corner and push my roller above the molding, making sure I get the paint right up to the edge then roll out about a foot. Keeping within that foot line, I go the length of the room. After finishing the length, I go back to the starting place, put my roller at the end of the first foot, and repeat the process down the room until the ceiling is completely painted.

After I am done, I do not clean up until the entire ceiling is dry. This way, if I missed a spot, I would not have to take everything out again.
