"Hi this is Dan again. Now we are doing the demonstration to paint our walls. Now we have the masking done and we have our paint in the bucket. What I do is I put a screen in the bucket, we have our roller cover already on and prepped. Now we have our paint roller loaded. I use the screen cause it leaves less of a mess and I can keep it on inside of the bucket. So to get started we are going to take a inside corner. I'm going to hold the roller cover so the metal frame is away from this wall. This keeps from any scratching or anything on the opposite of the wall. I would start in the middle. I would start in the middle of the wall so I don't have a large clump of paint on top or on the bottom. It is harder to move away, it is harder to move, it is harder to get where we need it to go. So I would go all the way up and down in one spot. I would avoid touching the ceiling and I would avoid touching the base. I would pick it up and move it over about 4 inches and all the way, all the away down."
