PRELIMINARY SET-UP
 Work Plan---Prep-Paint 
 Remove all furniture that is easily moved, along with small things, drapes etc.
- Move to center of room, any larger furniture
- TAPE the baseboard (or carpet, shoe moulding or floor if the baseboard happens to be painted ...whichever is applicable)
Note: Unless you have an "Old Fashion" 5 inch high Stained and Varnished baseboard... leave the "Thin" top-most
edge of the Stained and Varnished baseboard UNTAPED and Caulk it and Paint it in with the Wall (See Diagram Below). Also use tape and newspaper
to cover any other areas. Use plastic drop cloth to cover large wall areas such as fireplaces
or to cover delicate furniture
- Cover remaining furniture and floor with drops (short for dropcloths)
- Move-in tools and equipment. Create a "shop" area to work from.Use adjacent room or hall
for more "shop" area
- Remove switch plates and other fixtures which makes it easier to "cut" around
- Plug in your lights (with attached sockets) to aid in seeing your work
- Wall washing is only necessary if walls are VERY dirty. Normally, just dusting will
suffice. However if there's any grease present it must be removed with laquer thinner OR the
area MUST be STAIN SEALED
