The ceilings in our homes never get more than an upward glance until the abuse of the smoking fireplace and some old leaking roof stains begin #to stand# out on #that once# bright white space above our heads. Suddenly, it is time for this long overdue undertaking. Painting the ceiling. Here is a list of things you will need to do the task: Primer/sealer Ceiling paint Step ladder 5 Gal. bucket Paint screen or grid 9 inch roller frame 1/2 inch nap roller cover Roller extension pole Three inch nylon/polyester brush Plastic sheeting Drop cloths of old bed sheets Preparing the room. Move all the furniture in to the middle #of the# room, leave sufficient space between large pieces of furnture #and the# wall to make room for a step ladder. Place smaller pieces of furniture into several groups leaving aisles between them. This will allow for easier access to the ceiling when you begin painting. Cover the furniture with plastic, thin plastic works better. Place drop cloths or old bed sheets #on the# floor around the groups of furniture. Spot prime any brown water stains with a stain killing primer. These primer/sealers can be found at any paint or hardware store. Some brands offer a convenient spray can with an upward spraying nozzle. Now that everything is wrapped up and spot primed you can prepare to paint. Pour the ceiling paint into the five gallon bucket leaving roughly a quart of paint in a single can to make use of with the brush. Brush #a three# or four inch line round the edges on the ceiling being careful not #to paint# too low #on the# wall or crown molding, do not forget to brush around the light fixture. Ready to start rolling. Hang the paint screen #on the# inside rim on the 5 gallon bucket. Install the roller cover #on the# frame and attach the roller frame #to an# extension pole or screw in mop handle. Load the roller with paint by daubing it into the 5 gallon bucket of paint, remove any excess paint using a few strokes #on the# paint screen. Roll out a large 'W' pattern #on the# ceiling starting the roller in a corner and about a foot #from the# wall. Reload the roller and fill #in the# pattern at the border working #toward the# wall, make sure you roll into the brushed paint line #at the# wall. Roll out and fill another W pattern next #to the# one you have just finished and slightly overlap the previously painted section. Repeat this technique until you have covered the complete ceiling. Once you have finished, the area will likely be noticeably brighter and that upward glance you are taking may just turn into a smile.
