Todays programme is about Do-lt-Yourself house painting . Theres never been a better time for people who like to do their o
32、wn interior house painting. Although people still lead very busy lives, thanks to the availability of various new DIY materials, you can now decorate your home in a more efficient and a more environmentally-friendly way. In two thousand and nine alone, approximately fifty-three million litres of the
33、 paint that was sold in the UK were left untouched thats enough to fill twenty one Olympic-sized swimming pools. Its easy to overestimate how much paint youll need to decorate your room if you use guesswork. And if you know exactly how much paint is needed, you avoid unnecessary waste. There are aut

35、ce youre painting, and it will tell you how many litres of paint youll need. But if you do end up with leftover paint, you can donate it to an organisation like Community RePaint.

37、our colour choice before starting to paint. For example, you can get a small sample of the colour youre thinking of using, then paint a board and move it around the room, so you can see how it looks against your furnishings, and in different lights. Also, its always better to buy high quality paints
38、, because you get what you pay for. If you buy cheap paint you might need to apply two or three coats to achieve the same coverage that youd get from one coat of a good-quality paint. You could also spend a week on a job that could have been done in a day or two. And consider the environment. Most p
39、aint manufacturers now sell water-based paints that dont contain harmful chemicals or give off harmful odours, so get one of these. You can also buy paint thats packaged in recyclable containers. Theres a lot more choice than there used to be. You can only do a good job, which will last, if you prep
40、are the surfaces thoroughly before painting. In fact, in many ways if you want to do a professional-looking job, this is more important than the painting itself. If there are any cracks or patches of loose plaster, painting over them wont solve the problem. Take the plaster out and fill the holes, a
41、llowing enough time for the new plaster to dry. And you wont get a smooth finish if the walls are dusty or greasy, so washing with water isnt enough. Use a solution of decorators soap and rinse well with warm water afterwards. When youre ready to paint, we suggest you use a medium-pile roller for wa
42、lls and ceilings. A lot of people tend to use short-pile rollers, but these give a patchy finish, and that wastes paint and time. Similarly, long-pile rollers can create a thick, textured effect, which looks messy. The same goes for brushes. The stronger the bristles, the easier they are to wash and
43、 reuse. And as youve chosen a water-based paint, clean your brushes with cold water, because its more energy-efficient that way. As youre decorating, keep transferring small amounts of paint into a tray and keep topping it up when you need to. This reduces the chance of it being contaminated by dust
44、 and pieces of dirt. And finally, water-based paint doesnt have a lingering smell, so thats not an issue any more, but its air flow rather than heat that helps the paint dry quicker, so to help finish the job in the quickest time leave your doors and windows open. The faster the paint is dry and the

49、tion process like? Linda: Lengthy. There were a lot of different parts to it. The dullest one was a psychometric test you know, when you have to answer loads of questions about yourself.
