20:45 that trick with the two hole saws on one mandrel was brilliant

[@dallasarnold8615]

It is an awesome trick, but an old one. I figured it out for my self 30 years ago when I was specializing on door installation. Occasionally, the existing deadbolt bore would be 1 1/2 inches, but the new set required a 2 1/8 inch bore. So, necessity being the mother of invention, the idea just popped in my head. With some of those doors being as high as $5000, no room for error.

Pro Tip: Do yourself a favor and put some critter screen/mesh behind those louvers on the vents. I can't tell you how many homes I've seen birds blocking the ducts with nests... Sparrows can fly up to them and lift the louvers and go in/out at will. I removed a full 5 gallon bucket of nests from 2 ducts last summer. Finally put some stainless wire grid behind the plastic louvers and problem solved (make sure your louvers still move freely). Not the play for a dryer vent due to lint buildup, but there are other styles of lint traps for those that keep birds out. I've removed birds from dryer blower motors and multiple from bathroom vent exhausts... Just not worth the adventure when it can be prevented by a screen. I feel bad for my neighbors when I see the birds making homes in their vents now, but hey, at least mine is finally clear.

[@suburbanme2783]

Second generation painter here, your tip is too big on your spray gun and your pressure is to high. Get a 515 tip . The first “5” is half of the size of what the spray pattern should be at the right pressure and distance from the painting surface, 10 inches. The second number is the orifice size of the tip. You’ll have a lot less overspray and less waist of product.

[@sbgarza28]

I would recommend adding screens to the louvered vents to keep birds and Mud daubers from moving in. 👍

[@marvinisit]

I disagree on the trim around the windows.... We did that the first time we painted our home.... second time we just did the face of the trim... had a ton of positive comments... we just took our time doing the front face to get a near perfect line on the outside corner... looks crisp/sharp, as opposed to trying to get a crisp line on the zigzag with a corner that has been caulked... each to his own... your house, your call...

[@curtisbme]

All personal preference but I suspect comments about painting the sides are more "it takes more time/effort/cost more therefor it must be held in higher regard". Either looks fine to me.

[@TherapyGel]

​@@curtisbmeI like the bit of depth that it adds to the overall look. The unpainted is a very clean look, but it's a bit sterile imo. Painted just has a bit more character.

[@brianhopkins5251]

totally agree. The crisp line is impossible if you paint the edges and caulk. if you just paint the face, you get a nice crisp line.

[@raybode8347]

As a retired professional painter I think doing the sides edges in your trim colour is entirely up to you and what you like the look of better. I never did them in trim colour for several reasons but if you like the look that's all that matters. Place looks awesome!

[@KenHill]

My take on the trim painting is that painting The edge with your detail? Brush is time consuming and the end result looks more like sawtooth than anything else. It just looks wonky. I have always just painted the face and it looks fine. In the odd areas where you can see the entire edge of a piece of trim, I see no reason to not paint the edge, but the sawtooth is a no-go for me. Great work you guys! -Ken from Olympia

I was a painter for 42 years, and spent most of my time on high end commercial interiors, but every once in awhile I did a bit of industrial and exterior work. As far as spraying your exterior is concerned, I agree with the painters who told you that you're better off brushing and rolling it because doing so allows you to work the material into the Hardy Board, and gives you a much better bond.

[@petecomps7260]

When painting exteriors, I've had great success spraying THEN rolling while the paint is still wet. You get fast application with the sprayer (no paint tray needed) and great adhesion. Yes, it's slower than just spraying, but much faster than rolling. It's the best of both.

[@OptimusSatanas]

When I did the job, I would follow the dude with the sprayer and brush/roll in the paint.

Step aside Russian nesting dolls. Nesting hole saws just came to town. I love that trick.

[@justinb1606]

That hole saw stacking trick is mind blowing!

[@crism2781]

If you want to paint the edges of your window casing then you should paint the trim before you paint the siding. That way you can overlap the trim paint onto the siding and then cut in with the siding paint. It’s a lot easier to cut in the siding paint to cover the trip overlap than it is to use the cute little pointed brush to paint the edge of the trim board

[@imark7777777]

As somebody who grew up helping my mom paint brush and roll all the way baby. Sure you can spray and I'm sure there's situations where that would work out better but all the things I've ever painted brushing and rolling it did a good job. Yeah that little edge detail around the windows definitely makes it stand out, more work but it stands out. You're also gonna get more coverage on your paint because more of it's going on your wall and you'll have a better first and second coat because more if it's going on the wall thicker. Plus then you don't have to clean the machine out. I also wouldn't recommend a system where you have to mix water in with the paint go with the one that can do the full straight on paint much better. And when you're done with your roller get a little tool to squeeze the paint out of it so you can put it right back in your can makes cleaning it easier and keeps a lot of that paint.

[@mikequartucci9700]

Agree. I just think that roller and brush does a much better job, and you don't have all the prep/taping, and all the unnecessary clean up afterwards. And did anyone else notice how much white paint is now all over the scaffolding? The spray gun might work better indoors or on another outdoor project, but for working high in the air, especially on windy days, you just can't beat the old school way of painting with a brush and roller. That is just my opinion, but I believe in it for so many reasons, and have so for so many years, and on so many jobs.

@@mikequartucci9700 Oh yeah totally saw that brand new scaffolding is covered with paint. The overspray can be terrible.

Jordan while I'm thinking about it this is a future tip. On the Toto there is a carbon filter. It's about $35. Order one in advance. One day the toilet is going to smell a bit. You will think it's you. Every time you use it it's going to smell until you replace the filter. There are 2 of us and I put the Toto in about 18 months ago. The original filter lasted close to a year. The second about 6 months. I'm on my third now. It's a small price to pay for how amazing it is. I have stopped using toilet paper at least in that bathroom. I want to put another in a spare I like it so much. Going on vacation sucks because we miss the Toto. They make handhelds for travel.

If this were my paint job, I would have painted the trim moldings, and fascia a light olive drab color that compliments the paper white, and left the window casings black. I would not have side painted the trim because, I'm lazy that way, and nobody ever notices those details at the curb. Small hints of color are what set things off. Your sills are going to be the first thing to oxidize, and so in time they will appear lighter than the paint you painted around the windows. (Sherwin Williams is tough with UV inhibitors). The problem you might run into now is the roof color not matching what you painted. Watching this video build from the ground up is the coolest thing since sliced bread.

Unpainted edge looks way better IMO! I think straight lines looks cleaner vs the jagged sides.. plus it’s way less work

So careful on the first hole using that threaded rod to check, then just tossed that idea away on the second. We never learn! LOL. Good job in the end, and love cutting in the sides of the window/door trim. Looking good Paul!

Get a wand for that spray gun and save yourselves a LOT of arm movement. Perhaps even a device for the end of the wand to be able to angle and pivot the tip.
