We have been trying to come up with a way to paint around the crown moulding in our foyer. A very tall ladder helped Scott get almost all the way up the two story wall in the foyer, but he couldn't get high enough to finish around the moulding. On Saturday, Scott attached a paintbrush (with electrical tape) to the end of a long pole, and cut in around the moulding by leaning over the railing. He has a remarkably steady hand!

Wow, I'm impressed with the ingenuity! I want to see updated pictures of your house--it looks beautiful!
That is impressive! It's good to see that mechanical engineering degree at work!
Not to burst your bubble... but did you know that they sell edge painting things on poles?

Granted yours is cheaper! Just in case you're interested for next time. :)
Thanks for giving it to us easy, Liz. :)
Actually, we bought one but the bottom part of the moulding was too short, so the wheels on the edge thing just rolled right over it and got paint where it didn't belong.
I am REALLY impressed! Cutting in is hard enough without an extension, let alone WITH one! He totally rocks!!!!! Cindy at Rosehaven Cottage
I sure love my brother!
I want pictures of the finished product, too. Maybe one day we'll grow up and buy a house... maybe.
Smart!! lol, and it looks great!! How is the rest of the house coming? Haven't emailed ya in a few weeks!! Hope all else is well!!!
Can Scott come paint our entryway too? We've been having the same problem. Oh, and I think our house is the same color as yours!
HOw fun to have a home to paint! Paining probaly isn't that fun, but I still daydream about when we have a home to paint!
I think we all have the same colors in our house. Post pictures of the rest of your house so I can see what you have done decorating wise.
