I was assigned to paint rooms. Before doing any rolling on the walls. Every light switch case has to be cut in with a brush avoid getting any paint on the floor always keep a rag on you incase any paint does drip on the floor. I take my ladder then set it up, it helps with reaching the spots I can not reach with a roller and adds height that way it doesn’t hit the ceiling when painting height ceiling.
