Painting tips : Bag the sleeve

Adam from Adam's Painting

When you've finished painting the walls or ceilings with a roller, you may not need to wash the roller sleeve out, especially if you're coming back to use it again for the next coat!

A simple trick that stops the roller sleeve from drying out overnight is to wrap it in a plastic bag. Make sure the sleeve is completely wrapped with no parts exposed to the air. You don't need to put it in the fridge, just leave it well wrapped in a safe place. These days, getting hold of a plastic bag can be a challenge. I find a used bread bag can be ideal. Make sure it has no crumbs in it and wrap the roller sleeve so any advertising on the bag is on the outside, not touching the sleeve (or the bread bag advertising could adhere to the wet roller sleeve). If that all sounds a bit complicated, feel free to contact me for a painting estimate around your home or business!

We celebrate your child’s maths and English achievements, big and small. Tutoring at NumberWorks’nWords is based on success. Each child feels more confident about themselves as a learner when they experience success. Tutors provide positive interaction, certificates are awarded and centre-wide celebration is given when students move up a level. You may have been in the centre and heard the clapping and cheering when this happens. It’s so rewarding to see the smiles on the children’s faces and how proud they are of their achievements.

Hamilton City Council is considering moving to STV voting. Have your say at www.yourcityelections.co.nz...
I think STV helps to build a sense of connection with councillors. While voters will not necessarily get their first pick onto council, they will almost inevitably get people elected who were just a little lower among their preferences. It removes the need for strategic voting. I often vote for people who I think are probably outside chances. In this situation, a vote for other candidates is effectively a vote against my favoured candidate so I vote for that candidate only. STV would enable me to participate more fully. I could rank all candidates knowing that if my favoured candidate is knocked out, at least my next rankings will count.
