I’m freshening the paint in the bathroom Does anyone have any tips on how to put more paint on the ceiling than the floor?
I swear it would have been easier to turn the house upside down.

Never yet met a professional decorator I can trust (that'll drag them out of the woodwork)
I saw a documentary on cowboy decorators, they had been called in to plaster a ceiling and when the owner inspected it, the plaster was up there in lumps and daubs, and he complained at that it was a very shoddy rough job... it was not smooth at all, and the cowboy decorators told him if you wanted it smooth he'd have to pay 50 quid extra.

That's because plastering is not a decorators job, employ a plasterer.

Lousy day, local hospital 10.am into a room with 3 people in white outfits.
get on a couch. then one tart on each side. the third one gets near with
a sort of syringe and stick it in my forehead and then my nostil, I know why the two lasses are holding me down. the injection it seems are to numb the areas but 'cos these two areas have only skin and then bone it is very f-----g
painful. The one with the needle said "Well that's done with" I thought good
but the two Asian bodyguards never let go of my Arms.
Back came the third one and said "We are going to cut and scrape, you must tell me if it hurts. It certainly did. All this was Cancer caused by working outside about 10 hours a day The female torturer then froze parts of my ears that should get rid of them. " You can go now" she said. I staggered out to the car.
Not ashamed to say I never thought of United once
Home after then about 5-6 cups of sweet tea ( not supposed to have any)
the Nurses had given me some pads to stop the blood so I spent all evening showing wife and daughter my wounds and how brave I was.
Quite a frigging day
