I used that hand bucket painting my mother-in-laws place this spring and hated it. But then again there was no crown moulding to have to slave over. I'm just glad that you found it helpful.
The place is looking great man glad that I came back in time to catch it!

I enjoy the bucket, however, my hand really hurt, thankfully I got to use the roller, with a really thick nap cover for a slight texture... twice..2 wet on wet coats.

Now the crown needs touched up from my slop (tired arm)

That looks better Dave :-) I feel your pain mate, painting homes is one of my pet peeves! when I bought my place in Evandale the ceiling was painted in a semi gloss grey!!! yes, grey! of ll the bloody hard colours to paint a flat white over especially when the previous resident had a chair he smoked in which left a lovely oily smoke stain above his head!
but you've done a stellar job so far and I can assure you your arm will be worse tomorrow! :-) looking forward to watching this 1:1 scale model come to life!

Yeah Vik, with a big room with big windows, there is plenty of light, might as well have the walls help reflect that light rather than suck it all up into...brown.
Thanks Damo! semi-gloss on a ceiling? how uncivilized
Mistakes were made in the living/dining rooms, the hallway and every room will be white with primer before I do anything with them.

Makes me think previous owners might have been light sensitive for some reason, so they went with light absorbing rather than reflecting.

No, they went with dark to get it ready for sale and to cover up their horrible semi-gloss brushstrokes. It took me several hours today to touch up the crown molding. This stuff may have years of roller texture bumps, drips, and blobs, but damn, the lines look nice and clean if I do say so myself.
I used a tip I found online and wrapped a wet rag over my Holy 5-in-One tool, and used the angled blade side to wipe away any overbrush that got on the wall. Then we took a break and went here! Great Show! I got a Stanley Spadowski poster that will be framed.
talk about a paintjob, everywhere inside were these classic panels and fancy moldings, all painted masterfully...much GOLD trim (Shas)

I didn't get that name, the tour was for Mandatory Fun. He started the show with Tacky, he came in on camera very much like the Tacky video, from the parking lot, through the theater, and on stage.
