The ceilings in our house never get a lot more than an upward glance until the abuse of a smoking fireplace and a few old leaking roof stains begin #to stand# out on #that once# bright white space above our heads. Suddenly, it’s time for this long overdue chore. Painting the ceiling. Here is a list of things you will need to accomplish 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 to the center #of the# room, keep sufficient room 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. It will allow for easier access to the ceiling when you start painting. Cover the furniture with plastic, thin plastic works better. Put 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 provide a convenient spray can with an upward spraying nozzle. Now that everything is wrapped up and spot primed you can get ready 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 of the ceiling being careful not #to paint# too low #on the# wall or crown molding, do not forget to brush round the light fixture. Ready to start rolling. Hang the paint screen #on the# inside rim of the 5 gallon bucket. Install the roller cover #on the# frame and fix 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 with a few strokes #on the# paint screen. Roll out a large 'W' pattern #on the# ceiling starting the roller in the corner and about a foot #from the# wall. Reload the roller and fill #in the# pattern from the border working #toward the# wall, be sure to roll into the brushed paint line #at the# wall. Roll out and fill another W pattern next #to the# one you just finished and slightly overlap the previously painted section. Repeat this technique until you have covered the whole ceiling. Once you’ve finished, the area will likely be noticeably brighter and that upward glance you are taking may just develop into a smile.
