What happens here

Begin by thoroughly preparing the work area to prevent paint splatter on unintended surfaces and to create crisp paint lines. Use a hand masker with 9-inch paper and 1-inch tape to mask off the bottom edges of the stucco walls, ensuring clean separation from concrete walkways and porches. Additionally, lay down drop cloths to protect larger areas of concrete from potential overspray or drips during the back-rolling process. If there are bushes or plants near the stucco, tie them back securely with plastic sheeting to keep them out of the way and protected from paint.

Goal: Mask off adjacent surfaces and protect surrounding areas from paint

We're also be using some drop cloths, too, to help uh keep any splatter off of our concrete uh walkways and porches and stuff. But
