You’ll be amazed at how paint manages to get on everything, and by the time you realise it will be too late. (Unless of course you don’t like any of your furniture, in which case this is your perfect chance to ruin it and then get rid of it.)
2. Use plastic sheets to cover windows. If you are having new windows put in or double-glazed, plastic sheets can provide a temporary alternative.
