Noblesville high stairwell

I completed a one day project on Thursday that included putting two coats of eg-shell on a high stairwell.  There were a couple hours of prep that included sanding, spackling, caulking, and cleaning. I started the first coat around 11 and finished around 1.  I waited until 3 before starting the second coat in order to let the first coat dry.  I used Lowes Valspar Signature Interior Latex. The color was "Natural."

Challenge:
The biggest challenge was working over the stairwell with high walls. I had to bring in my levelers to set my 12' aluminum ladder on and also my 8' step ladder. Even though it is safe with the levelers, I always still fill just a little uncomfortable that high up over stairs.

Steps:

1. Sanded all the walls;
2. Washed all the walls;
3. Spackled all the holes and other dings;
4. Lightly sanded all the areas I spackled with 220 grade sandpaper;
5. Taped out all the trim along the stairs in order to keep paint off the trim; 
6. Caulked the small crack along the stairwell baseboard; 
7. Laid down tarps;
8. Cut-in along the top of the stairwell with brush and mini-roller;
9. Applied first coat of paint with long extension pole and roller standing on stairs. Let dry for 4 hours;
10. Applied second coat of paint;
11. Pulled all the tape; 
12. Picked up tarps and all the other tools used to complete this project;
13. Vacuumed;
14. Left remaining paint with customer.
