Just a few things to remember when you are taking up a painting project:
- You have painting clothes for a reason and do not need any more. Change into your old duds and preserve your only decent pair of shorts.
- You usually do not get more nimble and adept with age. Use your ladder with care. Shoes are recommended.
- Wear a shower cap. Even if you aren’t painting over your head, you will get paint in your hair.
- Should you put a tarp on your good carpet, or just wing it? Self-explanatory.
- A steel wool pad will be the only means of removing KILZ primer.
- You will look super-cool in public with paint remnants on your legs.
And finally:
- Under no circumstances should you say or think, “This won’t take long.”
Wow! All that just applied to me🤔 I don’t need a drop cloth on my white carpet….I have been painting for days and I am quite skilled… no need to move the drop cloth over to this next spot . If you catch the drips quick enough you can wipe them up with OXY…. and if you don’t catch then quick enough, they harden and I cut them off! Actually I am really just tired of my white carpet and it’s a good excuse to move to hardwood flooring. 😉
