I have much more confidence with your directions, and positive that I can improve and learn as I go...thank you!

Got the book as well, I know it is not a how to paint book but a book about painters, I like biographies. Thanks for both.

    Hi--If you watch the entire series you will see how I "edge" these lines between wall/ceiling and wall/trim. I often do the lines freehand, and I show the tricks I use to make them look straight. In certain instances it pays to use tape though, especially when you have natural-wood trim (use blue tape). I also usually tape things I am painting above, such as baseboard, to prevent splatter. Too much to explain here completely...it's all in the videos. Thanks!

    For those who never really or ever done any caulking needs to know most caulk guns have a trigger pressure release & or turning the pressure stick handle to unlock it's pressure will stop the caulk from continuing to spew out & dripping everywhere. to also note the smaller you cut the opening at the tip is the finer amount will squeeze out. You need also run your finger over it with dipping your finger in water for a better smooth coverage. Beware that large gaps may take another coat. I am a good man to have on hand' Dave the handyman. Good luck & God Bless!
