My wife finally agreed that we should paint the Greatroom. I never have liked the Minty color that the painters talked us into. The Opportunity (we don't say problem at work anymore) is that the Greatroom is 2 stories. The ceiling is 18 feet up. To my surprise, scaffolding is relatively cheap to rent. I got a roll around set that puts me all the way to the ceiling for ~$114/month. I went up and down that thing prolly 50 times on Sunday. You have to get your "sealegs" though. It is more wobbly than I thought.
