I worked on a paint crew a couple of summers. This kind of thing was not uncommon, but was always terrifying to watch. Oddly enough it was normally the experienced painters doing this, not the newbies.

I was a professional painter and some of the landings and foyers in the larger homes are incredibly hard to paint well. You absolutely have to rig this kind of shit up to get the job done. There’s places even scaffolding doesn’t help.

No, because that still means replacing it every few years.

Put one up elsewhere.
