Also how easy is it to use as I have got 4 ceilings to do?
Plus can you use it to roller the walls as I'm a little worried about being up a ladder for so long with 4 rooms to do.

Yes I think they are available at most diy stores, as for ease of use, it’s just like using a normal roller use it on walls or ceilings

Re: DIY Jobs to do.

i have at least one job out the way now, that is trimming back the hedge on our front drive. It was brushing against the car as we got it out of the garage.



Next is the hedge around the front window,but that can wait.

It's too hot right now MC...and the paint smell indoors will be overbearing, I would wait till the weather breaks. Good luck with it though
