Was it customary to put up planks on the ceiling to mount drywall or is the house so old that it was they way it was before drywall?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615489442416541414.post-38122161448678762372010-03-01T13:12:50.648-06:002010-03-01T13:12:50.648-06:00Love it!

At any rate as I watched this video I wanted to let you know of a tool that has saved my life or at least my back. It's called a paint-mate. It rocks for painting ceilings and walls of course. But basically you load the long handle of the roller with paint and pump paint into the roller as you go. So there is less going to the can and like I said it's awesome with ceiling painting. I think it cost me like 20 bucks. Happy painting can't wait to see the finished project!!!dusty@TheRedPolkaDothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16320675561646438495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615489442416541414.post-40246352999929226932010-02-27T18:20:43.471-06:002010-02-27T18:20:43.471-06:00Layla - I hope you gave Kevin a neck massage that ...Layla - I hope you gave Kevin a neck massage that evening!
