" Alright, so I have my steps cut in now, and it’s time to roll it. I’ve got my brush just in case I need it. I have a new reusable painter tray. I’m going to want to keep my paint always in front of me so that it doesn’t get caught behind me, and I won’t be able to get it because the stairs are wet. All of my tools need to go up with me. It’s going to take a while for these stairs to dry. Obviously, you’re going to want to start at the bottom of your stair rolling and then move upwards so that you don’t get caught down with wet paint. I have a brush here, a roller brush that is for rough surfaces, since these are cement steps. I’m going to get a lot of paint. I’m actually going to paint this backwards and go up, but for the purposes of this video, right now I’m just going to do it like this. That’s going on really nice; it looks good. It does look like I'll need my brush, so it’s a good thing I have it down here to fill in the crease. Alright, so here’s our freshly painted stairs and here is the final shot of our product. The trim being cut out there. You see a bit of the green kitchen in there and then you go down and there are the green steps. The camel colored walls stills have blue tape on them. I’m very pleased and I think that Craig did a great job of picking out colors for that I greatly enjoy. "
