How to paint without scaffolding. What Not To Do.

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Once the ladder system is deemed sufficiently stable by the support crew, the designated painter, 'Drew,' carefully ascends the 24-foot extension ladder. With a paint bucket attached to the ladder or held securely, and a paintbrush in hand, the painter proceeds to apply paint to the ceiling directly around the base and canopy of the ceiling fan. The video shows the painter balancing on one foot at times, clearly illustrating the extreme level of concentration and balance required in this hazardous, elevated position.

Goal: Apply paint to the ceiling area adjacent to the fan.

Tools and materials

  • 24-foot extension ladder — Providing vertical access for the painter
  • Paint Bucket — Holding a manageable amount of paint for application
  • Paint — Coloring the ceiling surface
  • Paintbrush — Applying paint with precision around the ceiling fan

What they say

Hide

This is how you paint around a suspended light that's way up in the middle of the ceiling if you don't have scaffolding. Ladder looks pretty sturdy. Drew's doing it one-footed.
