I hate painting. Would a paint pod be easier and quicker or are they rubbish?

Thanks in advance.

Omg absolutely rubbish.. I wasted money on one of these crap things.. It was heavy and hard work and dripped everywhere.. Stick to a roller much quicker and a lot cheapersmile

DH's friend thought his was brilliant when they renovated their whole house, but he said it's only worth it if you are painting all one colour, they are very expensive for doing lot's of colours.

I love painting though, I get in the 'zone'.

Ooh thanks all. I'll avoid them like the plague then.

Back to the rollers [sigh]

Get yourself a nice long extension pole if you've not already got one. The ones that screw into the roller - so so much quicker than getting up and down ladders and chairs.
