DIY HOUSE RENOVATION for UNDER $8,000 - Part 3

[@BubbasDad]

Yes, bending over and caulking the baseboards all day can give you an ache in the back. I discovered, just because it happened to be there, that the small rolling stool, used in the garage for working on vehicles, really helped on the back. Also has a nice shelf for supplies. Just remember to clean the wheels before putting on your new floor.

[@JohnstonPettigrew]

Nutsack Falls looks great!!

[@kevinintheusa8984]

We purchased the X5 to spray our fencing before we built it and it worked great. We sprayed over 500 feet of pine pickets and all the 4x4s and 2x4s needed to build the fence and it turned out nice. In fact, we laid all of our wood out to dry for about a month then sprayed it all in the backyard before we did anything else. People who see our fence think it is cedar but it is plain old pine pickets sprayed with redwood stain and then sealed. It has been up for almost 5 years so far and it looks brand new even today. Great work on the house. BTW, the lowest quote on our fence replacement from local guys was 12K for 475 feet with one walk-through gate 4 foot wide and two 10 foot double swing gates (one on each side of the house. We did the entire thing for 6K and that included the framing nailer, paint sprayer, cement, and all the nails. It took about a month to put in but worth it.

[@shindanu]

Now pay for liability insurance, business license, and contractor fees from county, and you'll see why they wants 12k. Honestly Kevin anything you do yourself will always be cheaper. You're not going to sue yourself if something were to not be to your liking.

Don’t forget labor and taxes too. Oh and if you under bid you have to eat the cost.

Is great to see the love Paul has for his family and viceversa ❤️ May the blessings of God be with you all always! Paul is now a rockstar thanks to Jordan’s direction and constant pushing LOL and Jordan besides being a great director is also becoming a great camera man, awesome 👏 shoots all the time. Congratulations and thank you for the great video greetings!!

[@toxic123ism]

Love this channel! Can’t wait until my 3 year old son is old enough to help me on projects like Jordan. Solid work!

[@GreenDragonPainting]

Great video. Ive painted houses for 25 years and spray as much as possible. Covering everything is slow, but spraying is 100% faster than brushes and rollers. 1 thing i noticed it all the blue tape! Its expensive. I only use it around the perimeter of the floor. Use cheaper white masking tape everywhere else. Paper Seams, vinyl windows, tubs, counter tops. Anywhere it will not walked on. If you are spraying paint it will not bleed through regular old cheap masking tape. Blue tape adds up.

[@gutter963]

By far my favorite channel on YT! I love how you guys work together and show us real solutions that give excellent results! Keep the vids coming!

[@StudPack]

Thanks Gutter! We're just getting started 👊

[@Sam-hj8hy]

I bought an x5 to paint the outside of my old house a few years back. It did a great job. I was spraying elastomeric and it handled the job very well. It puts paint out as fast as you can move with it.

[@milesharlan1]

Studpack Wednesday is always good!! Thank You for an enjoyable afternoon video..keep up the good work!

Thanks Miles!

Literally just bought that sprayer to do a renovation I'm working on(would be using it but sprained an ankle emptying the trailer at the dump). Good to see it will do what I want.

Your teamwork reminds me of that song “It’s A Family Affair” by Sly Stone. Your work is well planned and professionally executed. Stud Pack sets the performance bar high. How refreshing because so many others do the minimum to get by. Thank you. Praying for you. 🙏🏻

[@andrewcarr2431]

humming over a sprayer, after seeing this video going to invest. perhaps that same model X5 that you guys use. seems great for a DIY'er like me.

[@pbeadle02]

I usually spray my fingers and the trim with a light mist of windex. Makes caulking go a lot smoother and faster. 👍🏼

[@marsalis17]

You guys have given me SOOO MANY helpful tips!!! i appreciate you all... Way better than watching This Old House.

Thank you very much!

[@tb5269]

Really enjoyed this series guys. Not sure how you would do this if they wanted the walls any other colour than white! Andrew

[@cherylbuscema2712]

I believe they are going to seel the house and white is a neutral color. Makes it easier to sell. 😊

[@roodypazoo5216]

I bought a whip for my x5 off the Idaho Painter guy. Makes a ton of difference in reducing recoil especially trying to go 1 handed 25' up a ladder. I've run 50 gallons through my X5. Doing a 3700SF house now. Machine is great. I know you know but I'd be coughing up smurfs with that mask. I wear a respirator even outside. You guys do neat meticulous work!

[@brandonboyles3195]

I got some Strive brand pants recently with built-in knee pads. It's a game changer! Only down side? When I'm in normal pants, sometimes I forgot that the kneepad protectors aren't there! LOL. Really helps when having to constantly get down and up and down and up.

[@josephgraham1065]

Hi guys I also have the X7 and a tip I got was to spray the machine with pam before use then after just wipe it off with a rag and it still looks like new after 3 houses painted.

[@nbrowser]

For a southern guy you sure say Canadian right...and awesome work you two, from Abbotsford BC Canada...a little north of the border with the US of A and Washington State!

As always you guys do a great job and this reno/make over is no different. Love that you're helping out family also. On a side note, Jordan the camera footage looks great in the woods. Especially some of the waterfall shots. Keep up that artistic view on things and the new equipment is paying off and making it look more professionally done. Good job guys keep up the good work. See ya on the next one!

[@drewcama2488]

A new tip Makes all the difference when spraying.! Only one coat for a rental makes sense to me. You'll be painting between renters anyways. 2 Hours and 10 gallons for the whole house?

[@StudPack]

2 Hours, 10 Gallons 👊

[@jaybee1930]

No way how many hours did you spend masking and taping and removing

[@drewcama2488]

@@jaybee1930 I get this type of question a lot. The masking takes a little more time than cutting in edges would. The upside is you only mask once and almost any one can apply masking tape and paper. The biggest problem is drywall dust, I cant vacuum and dust enough. Your going to have over spray sometimes some where. Wait 5 minutes. Role off the over spray drip with a paint roller and respray.

[@AnthonyVenmans]

AWESOME work!! And man o man, what a beautiful nature!!

[@geo5162]

I usually spray doors, casing and trim.Walls and ceiling usually roll, you need or should back roll it anyways. Graco has a roller attachment if you want to save time. I took the advice from some pro painter on youtube years ago.I think he's in South Dakota maybe Idaho. Using a sprayer for walls is just to get the product on faster even exterior walls should be back rolled or you risk the paint not bonding Just not worth the risk of not back rolling

[@cdurkinz]

I have the X7 too it's pretty nice for 5 gal buckets. I see those ones like the X5 all over and even super high end ones at sherwin williams that cost more than the x7 they are the same form factor. Maybe they take up less space in the work van or something not sure why someone would go with it over the one on the caddy.

New Subscriber yesterday... I'm a DIYer and I really appreciate your honest approach to showing what kind of curve balls that inevitably come along. I live in Washington and ironically am going camping to Mt Baker area next week. Nooksack Falls...Note...That isn't Mt Baker...its actually Mt Shuksan up there by the ski area. Mt Baker is nearby. Love your vids! Have watched probably 2 dozen in 24 hours...your Moms bathroom was awesome Also helped my son in law with a floor like the one that the owner fell through. That was worse than ours but you had way easier access so which one would I rather do??? NEITHER...lol...I hate it under houses but it is part of life eh?

[@FrankGraffagnino]

[@nbco55]

We found that if you put the hose into the 5 gallon container and then place your X5 on top of the closed 5 gallons, and then bring the handle up over the two legs of the X5 and kind of tuck them in there it all becomes one little package that is much easier to move around you just grab the handle of the 5 gallon container, which has everything attached to it, and move it around.

[@devil262786]

Nice video guys and girls keep them coming please ohh a tip what I do when spray anything I tape everything leaving a 1/4 off space on all the edges then come back with a 1” tape and get right to the edge after I spray everything well the paint is still drying I remove the 1” tape from all the edges and the next day remove everything else and that help not getting the tape stuck the next day

[@StudPack]

Cool tip thx 👊

I used to tape off with the blue tape first no paper no plastic then placed paper and plastic on top and use regular masking tape I found it to be less fudgy and much faster and cleaner that way you have the whole width of the blue tape on your surface

[@ESPPsycho]

This series has been awesome

[@CARLOSTREUIL]

Ok. I have to ask, "What type of paint did you used that allowed you to spray the doors, trim and walls at the same time?" Was it all done with a latex enamel?

[@crimsonwoodworking9609]

And....was is flat or satin or what. Wondering what flat would look like on trim

[@StudPack]

We showed the bucket right? I'll check

[@jasonhoch33]

yes it looked like behr eggshell latex enamel "ultra pure white"

[@RyanMHalford]

[@amanda.shaffer15]

If you have probably found out when painting your trim that has that raw piece on the top back bined of your door frames. It will soak paint. I like to coat it with calk to seal it then when you paint it it does not finish different make sense?

[@johng1077]

Man i was thinking the same thing about the respirators as the masks you were wearing are terrible for painting you should doubled up on them and make sure to use both hands for bending the metal for the nose. Also, man i was a little nervous on the opening on how close you appeared to the edge of the river, beautiful sights thou would love to get up to the Northwest. I am all the way over in the East here in MA. Great video and super tips keep em up! oh forgot to add can't wait for part IV!!!!

[@donaldcatanzaro5318]

Why didn't you paint the house before you put the floors down? Wouldn't that saved a ton of effort?

I think because the baseboard was going on top of the floors, and needed to be painted as well

[@naybz]

Hey guys! Great work here! Quick question. Some scenes looks like your painting the ceiling with the same paint and in others you were using the cutter you made to keep it separated. Did you use the same paint for the walls and ceiling? If so what color and finish did you use? I'm guessing flat white?

[@briansegall1084]

I wonder why you replaced the floors before painting the walls. If you painted first, you wouldn't need to cover the floor. Just wondering.

[@joebinion1]

Great video

[@StudPack]

Thanks!

[@franciscovega7325]

Two Thumbs Up Gents ..

[@byohzzrd]

I have a question y'all: why do flooring first, then tape/mask it all, then paint? Why not remove flooring, paint, then install flooring? Masking/taping fresh floors just seems like an extra step.

[@rjbell4]

I think because they were installing baseboard over the flooring, and wanted to paint the walls and baseboard at the same time.
