From brand new concrete blocks to pebbledash!

Can my painting nightmare get any worse?

I'm actually employed as a kennel manager, but due to decent renovation works my job description has expanded to include painting new blocks and pebble dash!!!

Any tips? Coz I am finding it hard and frustrating work!!!!
I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

    Big brush, or a long haired roller, and a lot of sheeting on the floor. I always thought a sparyer would be good for big expanses of walls, but never had to do one.

    Use some of the longer haired dogs on stilts to run along the wall.

    High quality 4 inch brush, slap it on in loads of directions.

    Find an old wall to practise on first if you need a decent finish

    thin the paint down a bit , it will fill in all the gaps easier , if the pebbles aren't too big you may be able to get a long pile roller to use , cover up any windows /doors etc , and put sheeting on ground if it's a path etc
