Forgive me. I don't know what I must have been thinking.
Nice 'tude.
You must know where to stick the pad then.

Roller will save time and effort and probably anybody but Bowoman can handle it.

Unless of course you want to use Bowmann's pad, if you can get it out.

Yeah, I got a 'tude too!

Don't get me goin'!

You'll have to ask Bowman, he's the one that uses a pad.

I recomend telling the Mrs. you're off down the DIY shop, and nipping into the pub to watch the snooker.

That'll get you the smoothest finish, as your wall will remain the even shade which it already is now- AND you get to watch the snooker, so everyone's a winner.

If this is a new sheet rocked room inspect it with a light and sand and joint compound coat imperfections first. Let dry then sand the coated spots if any then broom dust the joint compound dust off of the room. Now primer coat the room and let it dry. Now paint the room and let it dry. Now finish paint the room. Use a "wool" roller for the walls and ceiling and a brush for the cutting work on the angles. P.S. This is general info. I am not a painter. Be sure to not roll the roller till it is dry.

Sounds good...I have a wooden door that is already painted white. Is it better to strip paint off then redo ? or just paint over ?

I am not a painter. I would guess that if you sand the door first you will give the primer or paint something better to stick to. It does not matter if you paint or sand it first? P.S. The home owner wants a good job.
