Lol pretty monotonous huh! Paint and drywall boring as hell. Due to divorce I have no money to sub shit out. Right now every rehab I do is done nearly 100 percent by my own hands. Oh well if things keep going as they have been a couple of years things will be back to normal. My next rehab is mainly paint dry all and restoring hard wood floors. Lots of sanding and brush work. Loads of fun coming my way. Lol just can't wait.Decided to paint some spare bedrooms.....

Try extremely large paint PAD applicators instead of rollers and see if it makes your task easier. It makes doing the edge framing easier and I prefer it to rollers that require more paint dips and more strokes due to uneven application. I hate rollers.Decided to paint some spare bedrooms.....

Hold up to where the ceiling meets the wall edge, a cardboard box lid to protect the ceiling from the painting top of wall edging. Once again paint pads are used for that kind of framing in, but still cardboard will assure straight lines and prevent bleed in overlaps.Hate cutting the top of walls. Baseboards aren't too fun either due to the taping prep work.
I helped a family member paint a business many years ago and using a long roller to paint the celing, that was horrible on my back. I've only painted my home once since I moved in, plus my fence/deck with weather proof and stain.
If you have the extra cash, better to hire someone, even just a student painter company that you trust. If you are unable, cheap or just like to take care of business for yourself (I'm the latter because I only have myself to blame in such cases), painting is not on my top 10 list of fun activities lol.
*L* You've never seen my spackle jobs, the seams look like bauhaus art and are very very noticable no matter how much sanding I do.Once it's all said and done.....you can step back and say "I did that"! And know you did something good.
I got out of that a long time ago. I take care of the outside maintenance, designing, building, construction & repairing fences, decks (and associated staining & treatment), lawns (just did a sodding project), landscaping, grass mowing, hedge trimming, Flower bed construction (but not planting or weeding), exterior house maintenance (including paint, though I replace all paintable above the brick with vinyl, leaving only the fiberglass columns), operator maintenance on all power equipment, automobiles, swimming pool, as well as interior wall construction, floor maintenance, door, trim and fenestration and electrical maintenance. I do not paint any interior walls or trim or ceilings. That is her problem if she wants it painted, she can paint it or hire somebody. I don't even pick colors except for the library/computer room.Decided to paint some spare bedrooms.....

I remember working on an apartment complex that was being built many moons ago. Their painting crew was incredible. They had a taping crew come in beforehand (who were also very fast), but the spray crew (two guys) could paint an entire two bedroom apartment in under ten minutes.Decided to paint some spare bedrooms.....

Try doing a whole apartment that has a cathedral roof...over the staircase. THAT is a bitch to do. But I did it. Couldn't now, oh no. Don't have the dexterity OR the strength any more. Good on you for doing it, anyway!!!Decided to paint some spare bedrooms.....
