Step by step guide
First step, clear the room of furniture and remove curtains/blinds. If you cant remove everything the large items can go in the middle of the room and be covered with a dust sheet.
The rest of the floor space will need to be covered with dust sheets next, or they will be sprayed with emulsion. If you plan to discard the carpets in the near future this step can be skipped!
Prep the room. Any dents to the walls & ceilings will need to be filled. If the walls have cracks, first gouge out the cracks with a scraper so the filler can penetrate the cracks. Work in a thorough system so as not to miss any defects. Check cracks where the skirting boards and frames meet the walls, these will need cork (chaulk) applied with a mastic gun.
The filler is now drying, so you can start the ceilings. Cut in (white emulsion) round the edge of the ceilings and ceiling rose also. You can “hit” the top of the walls which makes this step quicker.
Roll ceiling using roller attached to pole. Two coats ensure no missed areas, will need 30 mins aprox to dry between coats.
Check filler on walls to see if dry. If so rub down with sandpaper (80 grade) to smooth edge. Touch up any filled areas with emulsion to prevent filler from showing through finished coats.
Next step, cut in walls, where walls meet skirting boards and frames you may hit as these will be painted later in undercoat and gloss. However where walls meet ceiling you will need to take more time to achieve a straight line.
Once finished roll out walls using roller on a pole. Ensure dust sheets are in place as this stage can be messy!
If the walls need another coat wait until first is completely dry then repeat cut in and roll out stages.

Strength & Loyalty $5.73 It doesn’t happen much, but there are times when the departure of a group’s most prominent player inspires the rest of the act to get seriously bizzy. Strength & Love, a tight disc that skitters from track to shiny track with imagination and a renewed sense of rap’s widened boundaries, makes Bone Thugs-N-Harmony a prime example. Without Bizzy Bone to layer a drizzle of Midwestern vocal weirdness o… |
