And the large swathes of wall you can't see. There's something about repetitive tasks that induces an almost meditative state. Not that that makes it any more fun, or I'd be finishing it off rather than writing posts on my phone..

Hmm, well then you are *much* better at the task than I am.

For me, it takes constant attention to not hit the celings/corners (cos rollers are round and corners are right angle), make sure I am covering evenly (bit not excessively) etc, etc. (Even with woodwork and other immovable obstacles like sockets masked off or removed entirely). But maybe the pain is my own fault cos I think large brushed 'borders' look cr@p.

Even gloss-painting skirtings/door surrounds like I did last night, though much much better, *still* demands a fair bit of attention to do an acceptable job (though the amount of hair+fluff that made its way in (despite prep) was horribly depressing)

gah, 3" is too much. *i* can see it/know it's there. And I'd still hit the ceiling if I wasn't concentrating.

oh yeah 2nd coat rocks. always looks sh*t after one. Well except if you are really good. Which some people are. And with no masking and no mess.

I feel this pressure to be able to do it like that. Go on, point stare and laugh at the perfectionist :-)
