    Default Paint

    We are discussing new paint for the interior of the house.

    Our biggest issue is our stairway. It has a high ceiling. The last time we hired someone to come and paint it. We don't want to spend that kind of $$ this time. Does anyone know how we can paint walls around 16 feet high in the stairwell? We are not painting the ceiling.

    I'm sure they have handle extentions for those rollers everyone seems to like.~I think without ladders...that's your best bet. (I don't know how you would do the last inch without getting the ceiling though)~so I don't know how much help I've been.

    We have wn extention that reaches almost 20 feet, I think we got it at home depot, I use a paint pad. Well, I paint with the paint pad instead of using a roller. It just works better for me. It will go along the edge where the wall meets the ceiling. Just be carefull.

    I had no clue they made them 20 feet. I like the idea of a paint pad too. I'll have to look into that.
