A handle extends in the direction of the cavity is attached to the container that permits a user to grasp the handle while using the container for applying liquid to a surface. The handle is also dimensioned so as to allow the painting container to be mounted on a ladder. In one embodiment, the container is adapted to receive a liner and in one embodiment, the liner can be configured to have a roller tray to permit use of the container with roller application of paint or liquid to a surface.

Abstract: A thigh protector for rodman comprised of a shield member which extends over the thigh from the groin to approximately the knee and a reinforcing member positioned underneath the shield member at a location where the rodman will position one or more rods. The reinforcing member is preferably comprised of a narrow piece of curved material that serves the function of keeping the shield member centered on the front of the rodman's thigh and also distributes the weight of the one or more rebars that are positioned on the rodman's thigh so as to reduce the likelihood of the one or more rebars injuring the rodman's thigh. In use, the rodman carries the bundle of rebar on their shoulders and then positions a front leg forward with the knees slightly bent so that the thigh, which is wearing the thigh protector, is at least partially horizontal. The bundle of rods are then dropped onto the thigh and the rodman holds them in place with at least one of their hands.
