I got my extension. I'll tell you, give you some tips, spraying. Now if you have the ability to spray from what we call logical start and stop points, that's from one end of the room to the other end of the room. You're going to have success spray and ceilings. If you have to stop someplace in the middle of the room because of a bed, because of furniture, because of a sprayer, a pallet of tile in the middle, whatever, it may be. You're going to have a start and stop in the middle of the room. That's going to be a spot where you're going to be overlap. And it's going to have a different amount of paint than the rest of your 50% overlaps around the room. And that's going to make it difficult to have success painting ceilings. Sometimes there's nothing you can do about it. And if you have those overlaps in the middle of the room where you can't walk the entire distance, you're going to come down. And you're going to, instead of just a hard stop and go back, you're going to feather it out. My gun's going to come down. I'm going to send my spray pattern down. And then I'm going to come back up and it allows it to feather it out. And I come back the other side. I'm going to do the opposite side so it's feathering it out, not leaving a hard stop and start and stop right in the middle of the ceiling. So wherever that may happen, you'll want to keep that in mind.
