got to take that in consideration, too. So, in this scenario, nobody's living in the house. There's no furniture, no personal belongings. We have at least seven colors on the walls throughout the house. So, it's not going to be efficient or faster to actually spray the walls. So, we're going to roll the walls. The trim, we always spray the trim. We never roll the trim. And now, the ceilings are all a different color than all the walls in the house throughout. So, we're going to want to spray the ceilings. And we only use a flat on our ceilings because if the walls in ceilings are a different color and you actually spray like a satin on the walls, then you could get actually flashing on the walls. We use a product from Sher Williams called Eminence and it's flat and when you actually spray the the ceilings, it hides imperfections better, doesn't show flashing, and it doesn't show lap marks. So, in this house, we started off, we decided because of all the multiple walls, multiple color colors, it was going to be faster to roll the walls.

Then, we went around, sprayed all of our trim, and we're actually careful or we mask our ceilings. Throw some paper up top so no overspray will go up into our freshly ceilings. The ceiling and walls were fairly the same color, so uh you don't have a whole lot to worry about, but we also you can either mask or shield it. And when we were actually spraying this trim, we actually just held cardboard shields up with a shield holder and sprayed our trim without masking the ceilings. So now we sprayed our ceilings first, went back, sprayed our trim, and now we're going back and rolling all of our walls. And almost every single room in the house is a different color. So we're extremely fast doing cutins with a brush. And so we're rolling it. You could spray walls, but it's not. We're going to We could actually cut in the ceilings with a brush and roller way faster than we can do masking it and spraying the walls. So
