Really enjoy and benefit from what you’re doing here! If you have a second, can you talk a little more about your adventures in mudding your door frames. I remember you discussing ripping off base and case about a month ago and it actually inspired me to do the same in a 50's house we recently bought and are redoing ourselves. I like the trimless look as well and have read a number of different "theories" about doing it (although there’s not a lot out there). Some using tape/mud, some using L or J beads set flush against the jamb, others using a 1/4" reveal over the jamb (new construction or new drywall installation - which is not our situation). I also found a product called EZY-Jamb. Obviously, I’m trying to determine a solution that’s sturdy, but yet time efficient and cost effective. Also, it would be cool to see the finished look you achieved (via a close-up pic). Long time reader. First time commentor. Really enjoy and benefit from what you’re doing here!

So much quicker. I usually have a sore neck after painting ceilings but not today. We masked all the edges and laid out plastic in the middle. The masking process takes a while but once you get it done its easy. Spraying makes a lot of sense if you don't have a lot of detail to mask off. Are you local (SLC)? If so you are welcome to try ours to see if you like it. We did the ceilings, and it was awesome. So much quicker. I usually have a sore neck after painting ceilings but not today.

We're just about to take on a huge painting project - entire interior of a house. did you do the ceilings too if not, how to keep the paint from going everywhere? a lot of taping off plastic? A sprayer sounds a bit scary. hmmmm, I’m intrigued.
