Don't ever water down yr paint, your taking away the paints natural properties that maintain the paints durability, also makes for more splatter. You always should cut in with a mini roller unless you're not painting the walls, use a brush amd mini roller. Never cut in with the big roller. Also start from a window or light source so you can see the wet line. I've been a painting professional for 25 years.

No....imo I don't water down any paint. The diffrence between quality paint and cheap paint is just that quality paint has resin and pigment in it and cheap paint is just watered down paint.

Yes and no, depends on type of sleeve , type of paint (brand and finish) and how it's applied. That's a great sleeve. Another is "Superdoz". Both are tight weaved not long hairy type. Assume he rolling it out pretty good and working it in. But I've seen so called pro butchers just slop it on more or less for speed and think they're great painters because of their speed. All his tips are good. Thinning the paint depends on paint you're using and application. Some comments here are complaining to never thin paint. Hot hot it is, type of surface you're working on, even humidity effect how a paint lays. Sure you know. For anyone who reads this and don't.

You can improve consistency of coverage, and reduce effort required, and improve productivity, by using a longer extension handle (more leverage) and using your wrists more. The longer handle means less vertical angle of attack, so easier on the eyes and neck (but another good trick is to roll up a towel and place on backpack to support neck during painting).

Sounds like a great plan, if you can handle trigonometry, and all those other cipherin' skills. For a dunderhead like me, you gotta dumb it down a bit. Or a lot! Always amazes me how much and how often those skills come into play in just about *any* trade. So that's why, kids, knuckle down and pay attention in school during algebra, calculus, and your trig classes. Much more to the trades than manning a jackhammer or doing demo work. There is literally no trade or field where you won't use some aspect of those "impractical" (when you're 15, 16, or 17) math skills. Case in point; the simple planning out of painting a ceiling.

Most rooms are full of furniture. So you move the furniture to the middle/back and chuck dust sheets over it and the floor. When you've done one end you have to move the furniture again. If you work away from the light source you'll see what's done and what's missed.
