Our house needs painting, inside and out. In the past, we've engaged painters to do it. But now that we are retired and have spare time on ours hands, we decided to have a go at it ourselves. At least the interior. For the exterior, we'll have to get a professional company in. So off we trundled to the paint suppliers, picked up the necessary tools and paint to start the interior.
We started off with the back entry (not shown) then we continued along the kitchen wall.

Our ceilings are quite high (5 meters) so out came the tall ladder.

The edges done, I start with the roller.

Even though I have an extension rod for the roller, the roof is too high up to reach, so I have to do it on the ladder.
