I told them "if your going to do it stick to the buddy system"
I swear I feel like a baby sitter sometimes.

I agree NEPS, I think they think it gives a straighter line. I can cut a line just as straight and takes half the time to mask and save money on the paper and tape...

You run a good show ewing. You are an innovative green painter. How about mounting some casters to the underside of the bottom pail so Archie doesnt have to keep climbing up and down that house of cards? Wouldnt be any less safe, and alot more efficient! Be sure to keep the insurance up to date too. :thumbsup:

I would have to say, that is allot of work in prepping just to paint a crown.
If anything just tape the ceiling...spray away..and re-cut the room last?

Maybe this pic originally had one of those red circles with a line through it, you know, a "how not to paint" warning? 
Although, I cant say that I've never done something silly and similar when I was starting out. People do some crazy things to get the job done when they are all alone on a job where safety is irrelevant to everyone but you.

A few years back I cut slits in the bottom of two five gallon buckets and ran a rag through the slits, the fives were upside down, and I used them as stilts to paper the crown off. We would spray the walls first coat, then prep and finish coat the trim; wrap the trim and then finish coat the walls.
Every week we would have to read and sign a sheet called "tool box topics" The sheets were handed out with our pay check every week and had to be signed and turned in to receive our checks. They were a requirement for some of the builders that we did work for. Anyway the week I made the bucket stilts the toolbox topic was one about workplace safety and had that picture of the guy on 3 buckets you posted above. I haven't used my bucket stilts since...probably because I mostly do residential repaints now and because I almost blew my knees out tripping all over the place
