| 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.
