Painting my 101 Year Old House

[@wealthystella]

Great Video, This explanation of house painting is exact. The steps you have taken are exactly what I did 20 years ago and still is holding up. I was younger then and now turning 73 I will be refreshing some sections this summer. Lots of work, but worth it.. Thanks for the refresher course. Old lady in MA

[@olsenkated]

That’s wonderful! And I’m so happy to hear that your hard work paid off! Fingers crossed that mine will last for 20 years. Happy painting!

[@wyndiefeatherstone948]

Oh this is funny, I am 72 and started my house today. I painted it 18 years ago with my mother, after my father passed away. This time it is just me!

Wow, basically stripped it to the bare wood. Lots of hard work and dedication. Nice work

[@1834RestorationHouse]

@@olsenkated We need to do that to our victorian one of these days too. We found a great tool called a Speadheater Cobra. It heats with infrared energy which breaks the pain bond away from the wood so it scrapes off easily. It might be good for future projects! We have some videos on our channel that show this.

Thank you! Haha, in the the end it was worth it. But there were a few times during the process that I asked myself why on earth did I choose to go this route.

[@escapetherace1943]

in the future you can use an oscillating tool with a scraper attachment to make ultra short work of the scraping 👍

[@skyhawaii5446]

You just brought a house back to life. Great job to you and your other did Lot's of hard work to say the least. Your house will last for another 100years plus because of the amount of prep you did. Every professional painter will agree with me.

[@olsenkated]

Thank you! I sure hope it lasts another 100 years. It was way more work than what I first thought it would be. But I’m glad I did it.

[@kellypeacockwright6576]

Super helpful to watch your process and attention to detail. Thanks for sharing! My house is a 135 year old Queen Anne Victorian and has recently had the old vinyl siding removed. My biggest challenge in thinking about painting it myself is reaching the highest gables. Glad to see you used a man lift! You’ve given me a good dose of motivation.

[@olsenkated]

I bet your house is gorgeous! And maybe a diamond in the rough if it has just been uncovered. I used to be afraid of heights, now I just respect them. The man lift was so much easier on the body. And my feet are thankful! Standing on a ladder all day is definitely hard on the feet - they aren’t destined to stand on such a small surface. Best of luck on your project - I would love to see photos! They simply don’t build houses like they used to.

Wow 101 years old sounds really old, then I remembered my house is about 75 years old itself! You guys really did a great job and I am glad your boyfriend came to help because this is one of the most difficult jobs you can do. I just started my house today and I am doing it alone. The last time the house was painted was 18 years ago after my fathers death. My Mom and I worked and painted every single day and it took about 3 months. Two coats of primer and two coats of paint, so in reality we painted this house 4 times, UGH!!! We did a good job for it to last this long however!! Congratulations and best wishes to you and your new home!

Insulation plugs? Can you explain this to me please? Amazing work btw!

[@olsenkated]

Thanks so much! Someone before us had foam insulation pumped into the wall cavities. They drill a hole from the outside, pump the insulation in and then plug the hole with a plastic cap. Over the years since this had been done, some of the plugs were loose. We caulked them all in place to seal them completely.

Wow Katie great job on the house. Time is not even important how long it took to do it the fact that you took the effort and the patience and you endured. You did a great job. A lot of hard work. I’m sure the video does not show all the people who helped you blood sweat tears effort, exhausting days, sore muscles thinking and wondering if you’ll ever get it done. My wife and I are attempting right now in August 2024 to begin one side at a time. We have a small 109 year old house cedar siding same thing everything is flaking off so we are going to try and get it done before the fall hits in Idaho and it begins to get cold. Basically the same product. I know people say you should brush it, but I think we’re gonna try and spray it with a follow roll so as we spray, we roll it in. As a second step, I will spray my wife will follow me with a roller. Will Try to share some footage as well. One side at a time is our goal instead of attacking the whole house at once. We have to add new siding as well and anywhere we add siding we are putting down Tyvek .More concern obviously with these old houses, they are not insulated. my thought was it’s possible to go around the house with a small 4 inch hole saw make holes strategically and blow in insulation into each cell between the timbers otherwise you have to peel off the siding and put on Corning foam sheets to get any kind of an R factor barrier. we are going to blow in a barrier insulation into the attic. And of course, what you spoke of replacing windows and anyone who’s doing the same type of work get used to mice outsmart them and give me them no place to hide. We had to tear out, our interior kitchen walls and vacuum out all the dead mice. Lots of steel wool and silicone to block up any opportunities for mice. Best wishes from Idaho.

[@olsenkated]

@@mattthompson9480 oh gosh it sounds like you and your wife are doing a ton of great work to your old house. Cole and I were just discussing today the quality of lumber used in homes from that era compared to anything being built today. Time will tell if homes being built today will last as long as these old ones that we are spending time to repair. (Personally I’m betting on the old slow growth timber) spoiler alert, we sold that old house and are now working on the next home - from the 1970’s. Which sat empty for a summer - which means mice. I hope your mice smell better than ours did. I found bleach in a bleach spray bottle to be very helpful for cleaning things out before priming with the animal smell primer. Best of luck to you on the painting project. Hope the sprayer works out for you - I also recently invested in one to paint some exterior doors. I liked it - the doors turned out well. Don’t forget to pickup paint thinner to clean it out when you’re done using it.

[@fabulouspinkmk10]

Katie, You inspired me 😀, as I have been thinking of painting the exterior of our home. I am a 60 yr old women who is a DIY kind of gal. I saw our neighbor paint the exterior of his home on his own. He did the prep work, and paint work by sections. He is a single man who works full time, so he did if on weekends. It was a long process but the results were so amazing. Again your an inspiration Katie....great job👍 One day at a time!

I grew up in Oshkosh so as soon as I saw the Kwik Trip I knew this had to be Wisco :) I am doing the same thing starting this fall and continuing through next year.

That was covered in the 1960s with aluminum siding... and I've been pulling that off and finding the siding still in very good to decent shape. I plan on doing exactly what you have done. Sadly there are no Menards in Upstate NY, where I live now. I'll be using Sherwin WIlliams paint and an oil-based primer too. Go Packers and Go Brewers!

Looks really good, especially to do all that scraping & sanding! the paint scraper you were talking about is carbide blade, not carbon fiber haha not a car panel. Im surprised no use of a sprayer when it came to painting?! just goes on so much faster. I reccomended back brush or back rolling, as you're spraying, to make sure it gets worked in good. but yes to speed up painting, esp all the eaves etc goes quicker. do a good job masking too, if spraying

[@olsenkated]

Ha! Thanks for letting me know that I said it wrong - no one has said anything in over a year since I’ve posted this video. But I miss speak all the time 🤷🏼‍♀️ I thought about using a sprayer but didn’t want to have the extra prep and the expense of the equipment. Probably would have been worth it in the long run to save time. But I’ve also never used one and didn’t want to mess it up. I’m definitely not an experienced painter. Just a DIY gal with time on my hands, an old house, and a low budget. I got lucky and most of the eaves have been updated to metal soffits.
