It's a rare combination - a company that takes pride in it's work AND gives out hugs.....

[@ramellesmith1520]

They are absolutely amazing. So grateful. Jason could tell I was stressed out (no poker face for this gal 😬) so he asked if I needed a hug. Maybe the perks of a special client relationship and/or because I have always been ready to pitch in when I have that skill need (read manual labor, coffee getter, errand runner and jokester!

Nice fake account Jamie 😆

[@amberkluga8949]

I was prepping my house for sale and I needed a couple fixes on a 2 story wall. They had stopped making the tint base so I could not get the exact match paint but I really did NOT want to repaint the whole thing. My handy man said no problem and he feathered in where you'd never know it was different paint. He was a magician! A good handyman is worth his weight in gold.

[@tmoss7122]

I get the impression Jono has calm “happy little trees” energy.

[@OperationDarkside]

Only until he doesn't

[@hedge685]

No mistakes, just happy accidents

[@charelsmissinglink]

This is so on point.

[@JasonLorette]

Hopefully we get to see the finished home once Ramelle fully moves in to see the 'final' look, not just an empty house. Really loving this house!😎

[@ramellesmith1520]

Thank you! It’s a maybe seeing it once I get it all finished. I am slow, need to make slipcovers and reupholster some chairs and figure out where to put my small to medium pieces of loved artwork. It’ll be a timing thing for Erik

[@HelixMegaton]

I'm no carpenter but i could watch your builds for hours, WoW.

[@ronsimpson143]

You have a sorta-kinda-basement there where you could have hung the doors and sprayed them.

[@AJamesCo]

I was gonna comment the exact same thing.

[@siegriedroy6467]

Eric, its time to buy the Festool Tracksaw. Perfect for this kinda stuff.(countertop/cocktop)

[@deanhurem3517]

Great work! Just a tip for the doors. Next time if you’re painting them by hand use a microfiber weenie roller. The finish is almost like sprayed. You don’t need a brush at all

[@williamnichols199]

Never thought I would watch a video of paint drying but I have and I enjoyed it. Thanks, I know the owner appreciates all the beautiful work you guys are doing/ have done.

[@ramellesmith1520]

I do indeed, Bill 😁

[@Peter-dd3br]

14:03 "Jason doesn't like how the knobs are on the front [of the stove], but I'm thinking that's the only place they can go." Gas stoves always have the knobs at the front so you don't light yourself on fire reaching over the flame to use them.

[@chaclemrenovation]

My previous gas stove had them on top and it was awful. The knobs would get so hot and I burned myself on hot pans quite a few times, reaching for the controls. Terrible design!

[@solsticesummer982]

“If you’re still watching this video I want to say thank you” lol I “ liked” it while the cardboard templates were being cut out! Wouldn’t miss it. 🙂🤓

[@ramellesmith1520]

Your wife is a very intelligent woman! BTW, I have family in Yakima and family and friends elsewhere in WA! My dad went to school In Wapato

[@iralourie960]

Am a retired architect and construction manager. Been watching your videos since the beginning. Enjoy your pro tips especially those on painting techniques to minimize brush strokes. Keep it up guys!

[@Cobalt135]

Best way to minimize brush strokes is to not use one. Yes, needed to get paint into tight corners, etc., but otherwise do this.... Search some videos by the channel 'Black Sheep House' (HOLY GRAIL of ROLLERS ✨ smooth finish no sprayer). She uses the small foam rollers to refinish old furniture. I have painted a desk and the entry doors using the same technique and would nave no hesitation to even use the technique on cabinets. Wizz or FoamPro foam rollers. I did not brush on and then dry roll like she does, I just loaded up the roller lightly with paint and roll the area a little more than you might otherwise to make sure it is as thin as possible but covering the old finish. It is OK if some of the old finish is peeking through. Don't be fooled by labels, no real painter believes in a perfect "1 coat coverage" claim that paint manufacturers say. Even the best Sherwin Williams store products (Emerald or better, not found in Lowes box store) will need 2 coats to really get perfect coverage and durability. Also your final strokes as you work across the piece should be light pressure so you do not get lines at the edge of the roller because of squeezing the paint to the side. Then don't bother it. It will start dryuing immediately and if you run the roller over it a few minutes later it will not be good. Use some portable lights off to the side so you can see the reflection, or glare of the lights on the wall, door or workpiece to highlight any ridges or junk that got in the roller. 2 coats with a light sand between and it is the closest you will get to a spray finish and looks amazing with just plain ordinary latex paint.

[@mavrosyvannah]

Thank you for giving us the chance to build with you. 😅

[@mattgilstrap7295]

This is the best channel on KZbin.

[@we-can-do]

One never thinks of builders as being perfectionist.

[@we-can-do]

You guys will never be out of work. Your only problem lies with the competition catching on. Can't see this happening soon. Commercial integrity beats all

[@davegordon6943]

Unfortunately there are 2 extremes in construction. Those that everything has to be perfect and those that just don't care. They figure getting it "done" is the most important part. But it's not done if someone has to come behind you and fix it. I have a real problem with stuff being perfect. I can't help it. There's no way I'm building a house that someone is going to spend half a million to a million on and it's not as close to perfect as I can get it. Drives me crazy when I hear "it ain't no piano"

[@jxchamb]

Sadly, these guys are the only ones I've seen but they don't live in Connecticut.

[@ninabooker2904]

For someone who doesn’t like to paint, Jay is a very meticulous painter. I’m sure Remelle appreciates you dedication . The whole Perkins crew has a high degree of attention to detail. I love the look of this modern build. Are there plans available?

[@ramellesmith1520]

I love PBB and crew for everything they brought to my build! Tim Mason of Bryson City, NC did the preliminary plans. There were changes - pre fab floor and roof trusses with the LR/DR bump out getting 2x6 studs instead of 2x4s - engineer that designed the floor and roof trusses recommended because of the additional 4 ft and the weight. The infamous walk-in closet that later received a 2 ft bump put to the deck. And something else I am falling to remember now. Tim’s info is on BuildZoom. He’s another 40 yr plus friend. I called my build “by/of/for community. It truly was from planning to start to finish!

[@symonpalmer20]

Top tip for cleaning brushes, a hair comb, yup just a regular comb for your hair, you pull the comb through the brush bristles to help get the paint out. Works a treat. Note I'm talking about when you have washed the great amount of paint out. Cheers, Sy.

[@Cobalt135]

Pre dampen your brushes helps as well. Wash out and beat out extra water. Also clean your brush out about every hour. I only use Purdy brushes but Wooster are also top quality. All brushes are not equal. Those two brands are the best out there. Purdy XL Dale with the angled brush tip are my top pick.

[@tbarg86]

Watching you paint those happy trees

[@archmirza]

As a practicing architect i love your work and the little details! Really satisfying to watch and lot to learn! Keep going 👌🏽👍🏼

[@rickteeden8656]

Wet sanding those doors and other painted trim would give them an unbelievably smooth finish. Also, super job on the house!

[@jbisit420]

Adding Floetrol to latex paint really helps when painting doors. It gives you more working time to reduce drag and also minimizes the brush marks while drying out. It's even more important the more panels and details a door has.

[@miker1448]

Thanks for sharing your builds.

[@Andromeda2976]

Absolutely love it and all the blessings!

[@Hobocreekfarm]

Ramelle this is my favorite house that I’ve watched them build. It’s awesome. Sorry to hear about your sink.

[@daveshepherd7582]

Man that place looks fantastic, great job by all!

[@lasherthelash]

If you are touching up like that then I think you should use a 4" fluffy roller to ensure that the paint dries the same as the rest of the wall. You run the risk of the newly brushed touch up areas may dry different and you'll see the difference. Love your vids 🖖

[@GaryKampel]

I’ve watched quite a few new home construction crew videos and I am amazed at the attention to detail you go through. The bits of primer on the doors that you sanded down is new to me. None of the other videos showed anyone else catching it. Jeez, but you folks do beautiful work. Every project is better than the last.

[@danplourde7853]

[@rgarlinyc]

It's great to see you guys get asymptotic to finishing... it's almost done and here's hoping it soon really, truly gets done!

[@ronlovell5374]

Pro tip, something I learned many years ago, When touching up a sprayed, rolled, lightly textured or glossy surfaces like trim and doors, instead of a brush, I cut a new grout sponge into 4 pieces and use one to dab and feather paint on, the more you dab the better it blends in and leaves very little to no trace after drying.

[@UnKnOwNV1RuS]

thats a beautiful cutting board that came out of the stovetop cutout

[@jolenedouglas501]

You guys have changed the way I see things,, Love how you guys can go back and fix things,, tis are great,,Thanks for another amazing video,

[@mccardieclan1755]

Y'all just make my day!!!

[@bullittandy]

That is an excellent and reasonable solution with one coat of paint. Especially on a new build where a large portion of the walls will be obscured by furniture, etc eventually.

[@DavidLandry-yt1ln]

Cardboard for painting the screw heads, yet another why didn't think of that moment. Thanks D

I enjoy y'alls banter it's funny...

I love my inline flex saw it’s probably one of the nicest circular saws I’ve used. I wish they would make a 7 1/4 version of it.

[@jamespppyacek342]

Total respect for Eric's painting skills. I was able to find black screws on Amazon, and at one of my local BS stores in one of those hundreds of drawers of hardware they got. But it wasn't easy.

[@D4ISHIM]

I love watching you guys 😂❤

Pro tip: Mark the cut-out by tracing the cabinet sides from below. (Or use those lines to center the cut-out, if it's smaller)

[@bionicman6969]

You guys are excellent at dealing with very fussy customers. Not to knock her, when you're paying for your dream home you want it as perfect as possible and she's lucky because there are very few contractors that are as good at the detail work as you guys from foundation to finish.

[@ramellesmith1520]

I am ever grateful for all that PBB brought to the table in the build of my home! It was a long twisty road to get to having a custom home by PBB and crew. A lot of losses in 4 short years. So happy they took on my build and thanks to Arlo and my architect for spearheading that, to E&J’s parent for speaking up for me and maybe Jono as well -40 plus year relationships with each mentioned.

[@Trident_Media7104]

I use black or white PVC caps on all my deceptive screws. Keeps it nice and clean.

Erik. The thumbnail pics for ‘Modern Home’ Episodes 43, 44 & 46, do not have arrows on them. IMO they look WAAAAYYY better without them.

[@tydunn333]

16:40 My theory is they use roadkill as a secret ingredient which draws the flies to wet paint.

[@SusanWoods-ww7wi]

My step father had that happen to him many yrs ago. I don't remember how many stitches he received, but it was like 9 " long. How he missed his artery is beyond me! 🤔 I was the oldest so I had the pleasure of cleaning duty while they were at the emergency room. I was 10 or 11, siblings whined about how bored they were at the hospital. 🤐 To little to realize how good being bored was! So much blood! 😕 Gotta do what needs doin! Lol!

[@donnalaprade2966]

On a sidenote boys, I just saw a video where they made a spring loaded drawer underneath cabinets in the kickspace. Spring loaded so you can just push on it with your foot, take your shoes off inside of it, and push it back closed. Brilliant!

[@grahamblack4]

Sherwin Williams has a pressurized can that you can turn any paint into a spray can. That's how you touch up sprayed doors and cabinets etc

[@colinnicol9447]

I used to instal kitchens, and after we cut the holes for the sink etc we would take the cut outs back to the shop and form them into cutting boards with our routers.

[@ramellesmith1520]

That’s my plan! And the sink cut out is likely to be turned into a 4 person bar height table for the catio using a marine grade finish!

[@totallybonkers]

[@mrfochs]

For spraying the doors, why not hang them in the MASSIVE crawl space/basement to spray?

[@williamgatling3205]

Murphy Granite! I was chasing every budget option I could find, but my builder insisted that I go visit Murphy Granite. It was more expensive than butcher block, but not by much. $50/sqft installed with no added surprise fees. Just past Rib Country on the right.

[@Gantorin]

I'm a painter (of art canvases)... get it Jon-O!

[@MrMockingbird1313]

Hey Jamie, Door screws, in America, are almost always #12, diameter. There are only a few variables that are available. Color is normally special order. Interestingly, I cannot ever remember using a #12 for anything other than in doors hinges. To get the right variables I have had to pay over $1 for each screw from the fancy distibutors.

[@Nordorf]

The doors.. couldn't you have done the spraying in the basement crawlspace (more like stand perfectly up - space, but..) ? I mean you wouldn't have to transport it far.. it would have been under cover.. and you could have controlled the bug issue by closing in the entrance holes.

[@stargateproductions]

It costs money but that blue needed another coat. Dark colours are like that sometimes
