Seriously, no joke. This channel. Your channel. Is unlike anything else on KZbin. You’re teaching the new generation and reminding past generations how to be a true craftsman, a real man, a good man, an honest man. You’re not just providing A way to increase skill sets, but a way to also increase humanity and respect. Very few people truly understand the level of knowledge that goes into what some people may think is menial work. Somehow you’ve found a way to put together all the right words in just the right order to help dads teach their sons an in valuable set of skills, homeowners incredible ammunition to help make homeownership fun, etc.. I truly am thankful for what you and Nate are providing everyone. Because of the two of you I have gone way way outside of my comfort zone and tackled projects I never would have previously. I can only pray that one day I’d be blessed enough to be able to shake you and Nate’s hand. My wife, three kids and I all thank you both so so very much. I sure hope you get to read this...

So glad you were able to see it. I’ve watched every episode with both of my boys. My youngest sharpens everything now. Lost a couple butter knives but it’s all for a good cause. Thanks again for what you all do. Look forward to the next video. If you ever start some sort of man camp you have your first three attendees.

Agreed. This is a great modernized intro to the process of building a home from the ground up. Very good experience to see how it starts, add notes of wisdom to the bag of prior experiences and see what the present details are about basic construction. Being 45 and my father built his house himself (I was too young at the time for hands on) he passed on little bits of basics to me and watching this progression has given me opertunities to learn new "old" tricks, current standards, and added stules/approaches to different material options.

In this time of shortage of craftsmen these videos are all the more important. We not only need craftsmen but we need them trained in all of these points you have mentioned. Anyone can start a business and make a somewhat success at it ( unless they can't handle the financial end and that's more true than not - again training) but we need CRAFTSMEN trained by craftsmen. Something the vo-teck schools used to do but since a school district gets X number of dollars per student they don't want to even mention vo-teck to their students because if their students go to vo-teck they loose half their money. We have to do what Ireland does , in senior year of school they ask if you want to go in trades and if you do say, electrician , when you graduate you go to trade school for 4yrs. . When finished you graduate with a licences for that trade. I have rarely met an electrician who knows as much as the ones I met from Ireland.

When I was still contracting one of our local paint stores had 2 gentlemen that had each been working with paints and stains for over 40 years. That’s 80+ combined years of experience. They were sometimes grumpy but they could match about anything I brought to them. And it was usually done in about half the time they said it would take. 😆 They’ve both since retired and that’s a lot of knowledge and experience to lose.

I had that same conversation with my in laws as I was helping them refinish a house; “this is the part you have to look at all every day, let’s do it right.” Went cheap and didn’t listen about backrolling as the pricey new graco airless was their solution. Well, never enough time and money to do it right but plenty of both to do it twice! Had to go back in and redo it by hand.

[@bamabackroads1203]

It's so good to hear you say it's not as easy as it looks. The drywall, and painting is so critical, but it's two areas people always think they could save a few bucks by doing it themselves. Just because it looks easy doesn't mean it is. Cheap paint, and inexperienced painters will absolutely ruin a job, and once the primer is wrong it's nearly impossible to fix. It's also nice to hear you mention how important backrolling is, if you don't backroll, especially level 4 drywall it will never look good. Period. It's one reason why I opt to just go ahead and roll everything. I spray trim sometimes, I almost always spray doors, but I don't spray walls and ceilings. By the time I've done all the cover up necessary for spraying I can cut it in and one man can roll and we'll be done at the same time as the sprayer, sometime faster. Plus I don't have to spend all day in a respirator, and have a half a gallon of paint around my eyes.

[@trulyhappy8855]

Just something special about true craftsmen that focus on clean professional work. I like associating with men who prefer to maintain the highest of standards. Such a treat to watch such men get after it.

I wasn't making it up as I went along in some low end subdivision. Hospitals, government buildings, high end commercial work. If you couldn't backroll oil as I described you were not needed on many jobs. It was a thing.....

I worked on new construction sites, both residential and commercial doing low voltage wiring. I watched all the trades perform their work. The better the craftsmen the easier it made their work look. So much so an inexperienced man like myself is lulled into thinking "I can do that. It looks easy". NONE of it is easy! Experienced tradesmen make it look easy. I knew a taper/painter who I swear could tape on stilts smoking a cigarette, drinking a beer, holding a hock and knife all the while talking to me without looking at what he was doing, which was perfect work.

Damn straight. You hit that nail. I watched one man replace a crew of 3 tapers and I swear he got more done. The mud just leapt out of the pail, bounced off his hawk and needed a light sand.

What I loved most about Sherwin Williams was that I could go in and order a color I'd bought 2 years earlier for an apartment building and the color would be a perfect, exact match. With the 2 main Big Box stores I always had to paint the entire wall instead of touching up and sometimes the entire room because the color match was visibly different. I also loved that any little gimmicks Painters use was right there in the small store. When I began studying before I painted my first house I was astounded at how much technical information a real Painter has to know.

[@1jeremyful]

The way you describe building brings back the poetry of an art form that few understand. Building and craftsmanship have been heavily commercialized. This has brought both efficiency and convenience as well as a loss of deep respect and understanding. In this video you bring a level of respect and understanding to paint. I appreciate that It is my belief that every tradesman, at least a majority, have that one trade they just can’t stand. For my father it was painting. His best friend Pete used to say painting was “ godless work”. I carry that sentiment, No disrespect to painters. What I appreciate about your channel is that you bring a respect, almost a reverence, to something younger generations would have a hard time understanding unless they were raised in the trades, such as myself. We all know there are the moments on the job you hate. Where you are just toughing it out and you are dirty and sore and it’s raining and your check last week didn’t have any overtime on it and there might be layoffs soon because work is slowing down, we all know this work can be hard. It ages your skin. It puts bruises on you. If your heavily invested there truly are blood and tears. But you, the essential craftsman, choose to shine a positive light on the trades and bring back respect and understanding. I appreciate that. It is a great service to generations ahead. Keep up the good work. And let’s hope the world of our future is built as well as the past.

[@davegrier523]

I got my painting ticket in Ontario in 1990 and I am still at work. I hear the word "backrolling" often, but never used correctly. Thats because real backrolling is no longer necessary and the youngsters have appropriated the term. .......Before latex paints offered durability, all quality paint jobs included oil paint on ceilings, walls and trim. The nature of oil wall paint was such that it could only be put on so thickly before it needed an overnight dry. This meant that, depending on the colour you were using and the colour you were covering, one could spend 3 days on one set of walls. HOWEVER, if you knew your stuff and timed it correctly, you could backroll to save a step. One put a fat coat up and waited long enough for it to grab the substrate, without the face of the coat drying. Depending on jobsite conditions this window would usually open within an hour. When the face developed the right tack, the painter would, with a dryish roller, go back over the walls, essentially "folding " the paint over on itself. This had the effect of tightening the stipple pattern and more or less, doubling opacity. That is backrolling. You had a finite window to give the effect of a second coat without the paint or extra day. The dry roller needed to be kept at the right load level so one didn't strip the wall, but other than that it was a miracle! Thank god we don't have to go through that anymore. As a note, I did see backrolling done with latex semi-gloss on walls one time but haven't tried it. Who wants a semi on their walls??......

nice to see a clean interior- also nice to work for a builder who isn't a hack and pays his guys and enjoys the outcome of his project....you can tell your drywall work(contractor) is just about as good as you can get before doing a level 5--almost looks like they used a dustless sander and did a proper 2 coats( not a seal spray can to do one coat so it splits by the time closing day comes around....) a clean site is key- nice to see you keeping people/ materials out of there way.....super rare these days--spray and back-roll is straight production- its nice to be able to do it this way so you can knock it out before tiles- cabinets/ rest of trim carpentry is installed. what your doing is sealing the drywall. a true painter does (finish coat) brush and roll...that is after the walls have been primed( sprayed)......spray is key now a days when it comes to woodwork mainly since oil based is rarely produced or used anymore...spraying and backroll is a hustle- something you do for builders who don't pay proper...you can tell a skilled painter just by the way he holds his brush...a lost trade....would ne nice to see the owner have his guys wear face coverings/ but he most likely wont pay for them to replace there Plastic lining on the face covering.

I like how they show on TV shows and in paint advertisement commercials DIYers painting a wall and they're using a roller to paint with and they're going back and forth on a 4'x4' spot in all different directions. You got to go from floor to ceiling in one nice long even stroke to keep from having splotchy spots, direction marks, and lines all over. When you're done painting with a roller you can see the direction of the strokes you made if you don't go straight up and down on the wall or the same direction consistently on the ceiling. I learned all that the hard way. Also learned the hard way that you should use primer on sheetrock too. I don't paint anymore, I let the professional do it. It's not that I can't do it and have it look nice, it's that I very much dislike painting period. It's not my cup of tea. Good video. 👍

With paint you get what you pay for because at the end of the day it comes down to the cost of TiO2 (titanium dioxide) which is what gives paint the color "white" (aka, it reflects all the light). The less you put in, the less white, the more things from the back bleed through, etc. The more expensive the paint, the more it has, for the most part. I used to test paint at a major paint manufacturer

[@d.i.whynot484]

Good point about back rolling. It’s especially important when painting cinder block for the first time (primer is called block filler). Back rolling doesn’t always apply. Bar joists won’t be back rolled. Kitchen cabinets, although it’s appropriate to do so don’t always call for back roll. Doors.

[@Puner54]

Scott...this is the first time I have seen anyone Back - Roll after an Airless...and I have been around the Trades for 55 years! Those guys did it RIGHT IMHO! People don't realize that an Airless tends to Dry the very edges of the Spray before it hits the Surface causing unavoidable Streakes in the Finish. The Two-Man Crew is you had is the best way to keep ahead of Streaks and Fast Drying Edges. Like any Good Professional will tell you : "You Get What You Pay For"...

Thanks Scott and Nate! Had never seen the back-rolling before. Look for the Paint Life TV channel on KZbin. He teaches a LOT about painting with airless sprayers. Just bought an airless, and using what he's taught me, did some great work on baseboards throughout the house, and will do some doors and trim as well. SO FAST! Wife doesn't want me to do inside walls, as she's worried about overspray on the carpet or vinyl flooring (which is precipitating the new trim going in after carpet comes out). I plan to keep the sprayer for other projects, and maybe do the exterior of the house. (then again, at my age, I may turn it over to a pro.

I had an uncle that worked for PPG for a very long time before retiring. He is still the go to family expert anytime anyone is doing something painting related. Those guys can know their stuff. He would also completely agree that you get what you pay for with paint.

[@mikewest712]

Ppg made some of the best polys I used for woodworking. I'm sure their paint is on par with that.

I’m excited for the finish carpentry part of this series! Thank you for so much knowledge.

[@9laserjet]

Looks like s super finish which is what I would expect. One thing, made me chuckle, they both wore a respirator because of fine particles in the air but no eye protection even when below the sprayer. You might think Health and Safety codswallop but look at the over spray they were removing from the plastic masking sheets.

I hope whoever is luck enough to live here understands the extraordinary quality and detail placed into this home.

[@davidguy6408]

So excited to see Scott do my favourite part of carpentry the trim!!! It’s the icing on the cake

[@leviledbetter]

I am so excited to see the flooring

[@RICHat22]

I am coughing just watching this. LOL. But I bought an airless last yr for the first time for my remodel and love it. The back rolling tip was awesome.

I've been watching this series from the start. And I plan to come across country to the open house. Let me just say this is getting more exciting than ever now. Something about paint on the walls gives a real sense of finality approaching. Now it's time to REALLY show off the craftsmanship. From here on nearly ALL work is open to scrutiny eternally with nothing to hide it. I'm sure you guys will do great, after all, it's a craftsman style house in the hands of Essential CRAFTSMAN himself, what could go wrong? You and your subs have continually been helping me appreciate a lesson I didn't fully get before all this, that you can't beat a man at his trade. It's easy to have the "good ole days" rant that we can't find good help anymore so you are best off doing it yourself if you want it done right. Boy was my thinking in need of adjustment. The great workers ARE still out there, but just like me they are busy in what they do and not actively looking for more customers, it's up to me to go find THEM. Keep up the good work guys. I know you will!

Were painting the new house interior walls cause it's already textured for now and taped the drywall work. Thank you.

[@anthonypiligno7618]

Thank you for making these videos and you keep up the great work....... JJ.....

[@ashrevlution3456]

I have been in the trade for 26 years. You don't HAVE to back roll when spraying. That decision is soley your (customer) choice.

[@MaxRenke]

looking forward to seeing you pick up those bags again!

[@paulborne6457]

Not sure when it was - early last year, maybe - when I came across the spec house series & binge watched all the videos up to that point. Watched every one after soon as I saw it in the feed. Thanks for all you do...

[@robertseguin4875]

thanks for sharing, look like its coming along great.

[@reevvaa]

Loving it. Thank you Scott

[@deetea7016]

It has been amazing watching all of this come together. Cheers from Columbia County.

[@HectorL360]

Aww Yiss, been waiting for the trim carpentry episodes for 4 years now. It's crazy how long it's been since I subscribed from that stake video 4 years ago.

[@ivpu2465]

I'm doing draywal and painting, and hire (Croatia) people look down on painters, like "ewerone can do it". And they bay the cheapes paint, with what is hard to work. I have some good customers, but rare. I like your thoughts and appreciation for the painters trade. Made my day😊

[@Mrcaffinebean]

Looking forward to seeing you trim this place out!

[@StigandirdtheElve]

Work and working is good greetings from Argentina, is important to have work culture

[@Preciseprocarpentry]

Really looking forward to the finish work!!

[@Suspense747]

I've been waiting for this one for a while!

[@antoniocanto964]

Spot on when said "you get what you paid for". Majority of people knows it, however still choose C or D options. So we must roll as the markets rolls and adapt to it. Nowadays everything seems to be made in large scale to cover the demand and not really last long like old days. At the end the environment ends up paying the final bill as more raw material are not utilized to cover its full life time.

[@lindacgrace2973]

My husband and I worked his way through graduate school as painting contractors. Pro tip for saving money: buy mis-tints. Some are real disasters (florescent Shrek green, anyone?) but many are simply a tiny shade off and MOST can be re-tinted to match your color scheme. Also, for utility spaces like garages and storage areas, there's nothing wrong with the "recycled" paints at Habitat for Humanity (so long as you are OK with some variation of beige). I agree with you on the primer, though. Even mediocre paint looks better and performs better over a top-notch primer.

[@lewisscruggspaintingco.pai1498]

Good job, especially on those vaulted cielings and walls. Those guys arms were burning for sure.

[@Babyhipp0z]

I've done both. Direct to sheetrock is more difficult. Great job.

[@erwinjonk]

I like the difference between European and American building style here. Here, usually we add one or 2 extra steps. Instead of only filling the seams all the drywall with get a layer of plaster, and we would add a layer of wallpaper to prevent cracks and general shifting of seams. But great work, looking great!

[@milesharlan1]

Can hardly wait to see Scott trimming out of the windows!!!.. I wonder how long it will take for Scott do all the windows??..KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK Scott. SEE you on the next video..
