place for the first time,
parents can find answers to the many questions that come up
all through a childhood.
Step 1. Shut off the electricity to the circuits in the room. Remove the
covers from receptacles and switches as well as heating and
air-conditioning duct covers. Tape over gaps between the boxes and the
switch or receptacle. Restore power.
Step 2. Align painter’s tape with the outside edge of the window molding; press in place. Run the tip of a putty knife along the edge of
the tape to seal it so paint can’t seep under the edges.
Step 3. Align wide painter’s tape with the top edge of the baseboard.
Run the tip of a putty knife along the inside edge to seal it, but leave
the tape parallel to the floor to shield the rest of the baseboard.
Step 4. Before painting trim and millwork, tape off edges of the walls.
Line up the tape with the edge of the millwork and press it into place.
