| Nice skylight--impossible place for a ladder. Bed's too heavy to move. |
If you're on a ladder, you don't want to boogie. Or tango. Or waltz. At least I don't. Paint brush or roller and bucket in hand make wild partners for a dance several feet off the ground. Stable is what I'm looking for when I'm painting over my head.

| This worked OK as long as I was VERY careful. A 4x4' piece of plywood would have been much more stable. |
Question: How do I paint the skylight hole without pitching to and fro with my paint and roller and making a dangerous and horrible mess? The answer finally popped into the Things I get to do today after two weeks of mulling it about. See photo for the solution.
I survived, and the job is done with a minimum of newly invented dance steps.
Well aren't you smart!

DeleteLet's just say with luck and great care I survived.
DeleteCareful- Did you know the leading cause of death in women over 65 is falls and the results of falls. Still doesn't look terribly staple to me. I just turned 65 so you must be very close.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, I'm 65, and no, I don't care about statistics, and no, it wasn't very stable, and yes, I'm still alive.
DeleteThat looks mighty squishy to me. But, it's over, and not needing done again, by you, in this life time. Right?
ReplyDeleteYou are so right on all accounts, Joanne. Hit the nail on the head.
DeleteYou always find a way- your own way- and it always works best.I like the little snowman on the bed- he is cute.

What you couldn't see on the snowman, Tweedles, dear, is that his face was loving munched once by a big white pooch. He's still cute.
