I'm painting my hallway...

Any tips on how to paint the bits right at the top of the stairs as i cant reach, a ladder might be dangerous, and i dont fancy using the 'brush on a broom' method

I also have a kitchen and bathroom to paint but i doubt i'll manage to get it all done

Tim its at the top of the stairs, u have to stand at the top looking down and my walls go about 9 foot up.

Im sure ill managed, the kittens hate the wallpaper and have been using it as a scratching post so i need to tidy the hallway up

Its that textured wallpaper that old people have, at the moment its a bright purple (previous owner, no taste) and i HATEI IT I HATE IT

I have to undercoat it so ill figure it out, or ill find someone 9 foot tall, maybe Richie, to do it or somthing

I dunno

My this reply is long

give the kittens little suction pads for their feet and little paint brushes and send them on their way. if they don't like it, they can change it i say

failing that, a bomb in a tin of paint
