You need a Caulker Spaniel if you want the dog to do trim…

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

Ha ha! That’s what I’m talking about

[@rena10009]

So I always see instruments around you guys' houses and I wondered if Jamie could play ok with his hand... man can actually play, made me so happy

[@cameronburgamy9589]

All the things Jaime can do with his hand are impressive, but drumming takes the cake!

[@albertsalas9154]

Jaime can bang those drums 🥁. Great vid guys

[@billdarling4010]

Perfect contractor statement , it's my house it doesn't need to be perfect. I can't tell you how many times I've said and heard that statement. Love it. Another great video, keep em coming.

[@billdarling4010]

P.S. I am with Jay when it comes to painting. I HATE IT! I also have many rooms in my house that need this and if my wife ever sees this video I will have to unsubscribe and hit the "Dislike" button on every new video!!! LOL, just kidding but I really do hope she doesn't watch this.

[@kchappell65247]

I thought it was the other way around, "Looks good from my house", when working on someone else's house.

[@shaneoakley8757]

Hahahaaaaa!!! Johno said, “your fireplace looks like a tabernacle” Oh I laughed out loud.

[@T.E.P..]

that waterfall edge at the top of the stairs looks great tooo.

[@T.E.P.]

all the guys must owe Erik a ton of money to work that hard for him like a client …. OR they all love what they do and it’s amazing they all get together and make these vids

[@gkbuilding]

I can’t believe I just watched over 16 minutes of trim getting painted! Lol needless to say I watch every PBB video!

[@jesswu0213]

Haven't see Ray for a while...Is he doing all right ??

[@CASHO76]

Was thinking the same. Hope he’s doing ok

[@tle8701]

Was fixing to make same comment. He has not been on other channel either.

[@ImConstantlyDrunk]

Yeah, I think we're all curious about Ray.

[@CASHO76]

@@ImConstantlyDrunk most definitely

[@frogylocz]

I seen a comment that as of Monday hes back so we will probably see him within the next few videos

[@Nonsense62365]

Here’s a painters pro tip! When painting a large flat area like doors or the top of fireplace mantels use a small diameter weenie roller with a thin knap then use a brush afterwards to smooth it out! If you’re using vinyl paint you can buy a extender to extend the drying time for vinyl paint.

[@bubbat2816]

Great entertainment and I actually learn from your pro tips occasionally. Please never breakup this crew. The interaction cracks me up.

[@judelakes3789]

[@T.E.P..]

Look at this glorious treat of a vid

[@frankie2132012]

Hope your wifi is still working well my man! Was awesome to meet you and the fam while setting it up!

[@johndeez2012]

you guys Crack me up Jaimie and jono are crazy talented... you are a boss and the last guy is the real mvp

[@tunafish3216]

It’s super cool that the cru would come over and help you.

[@Grunt49]

Glad to see others' painting faux pas.

[@rhondakennedy819]

I love watching you guys. You hang & help each other. Be kind to one another. Stay safe. Love to all

[@tclynn10]

Your team is a hoot!

[@jasonargentieri8954]

Looks much better. Now the floors.

[@solsticesummer982]

It’s funny and cute how it’s all fun and games til Jaime arrives then the real work begins. ☺️ wait. Never mind lol

[@milesharlan1]

I am late today. Been busy today.. Better late than not showing up!! Keep the fun flowing keep up the good work!!

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

Thanks Miles!

[@sampathsris]

We have a saying in my country and it goes something like this: "There are no proper chairs in the carpenter's house". Amusing to see half painted walls and half attached window trims in a contractor's house and I was reminded of it. LOL.

[@jbeutell]

The benefit of a good brush is clear in the close ups. Buy a good brush and clean it well. A pro will wear out a brush. Average homeowner will not paint frequently enough to wear it out. And keep enough paint on it as you paint. Dry brushing will wear it out.

[@Max-gp4wp]

Erik and Jason’s friendship has blown up !

[@Twinkie1960]

this waz very entertainin 🥳

[@shaneoakley8757]

Valspar. Made in High Point North Carolina!

[@mindi.m]

It really does look so much better! I love how Johno picked the one job he could do laying down! 😄 With those skills, though, it's a good trade off!

[@BarneySaysHi]

"Yo, the seventies called, they want their bathroom back." 😂

[@sliceof_toast]

Honestly the first time you jumped I thought it was cuzof a spider but it was just a window sticker lmao

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

Ha ha! Those were stink bugs coming out of the blinds and they are everywhere this time of year. I don’t like spiders either though

[@sliceof_toast]

@@PerkinsBuilderBrothers rather roll around in a mud then have one of those land on me lol

[@T.E.P.]

Valspar is superior … also these videos are a blast

[@calinpupaza]

Looks great! The painting did the trick! It would have been great to watch this episode a couple of weeks ago *before* I ripped out all the trim in the whole house - window casings, baseboard, door trim and all. 🤣😆🤣 And I saw the same deal with a lot of the trim barely nailed in.

[@rideride2]

Those bugs flying are stink bugs, don’t smoosh them unless you wanna know how they got their name.

[@Doogle81]

HA!!!! In my house the ship lap, trim and ceilings are all painted with Gilded Linen!!!! Circa 2018

[@salmaankaroush9371]

I like how jamie was back there jamming out 🤦🤣

Great paint antics! Thanks Chuck

[@contax50mm]

I have that same art above my stairs 🤣

[@scorpio6587]

So much better

[@ONLYGOODleftistisaDEADleftist]

Love Benson, beautiful canine.

[@sdeorio]

since you are putting on two coats use the wall color for the first coat, cover the caulking and the semi gloss for the second. I also use a 3 or 4" roller to intially put the paint on the larger flat areas and then lay it off with the brusk. Floetrol in your paint also helps

[@survivormary1126]

Great tip because you won't have to go so crazy trimming it out!

[@antoniobenitez8071]

Good video 👍 great crew”

[@jeffgarner3178]

A little hint from an old residential window washer. Lowes sales a Werner adjustable Stabilizer bars item #762729 Model #97P that will wrap around the triangle upper windows and you won't compromise the window seals on the thermoglass that should start fogging in in next couple of months after you put the ladder on the glass. A no no in my world. $76.00 versus $1200 for a new window plus redoing all the trim around it again. But maybe it didn't do any damage this time! If a customer saw it on their house and the windows became fogged in the the next few years we would be hearing from them or we lost a customer and their referrals.

[@michaelsparks8632]

It really does look good!

I've been a lil busy with school recently, but now that I'm in the second year construction class & a civil eng./archt. class, its super cool seeing someone physically do what you're learning about. would you guys be accepting "interns" in a couple of years?

[@jamespppyacek342]

I like it how it is. Kitchen cabs are same color. But it ain't orange, that's for sure. Hate to hear what you think of natural Redwood, or clear Fir. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

[@CelestialTrill]

If you don’t want to carry a full buck around while cutting in trim, there’s these nifty little things called paint cups… better hand coordination and a magnet to hold your brush out of the paint. Detest Valspar brand

It is clear Erik will to be House too new Design and repair. Jason hav anxiety to little Bug. And how the hunger come the Icebox to empty himself. The with color is to this time modern and all work with Brush. Jaemie go to the Drum and roll of Drums and all have fun. Good Video to the end of Day 😆🇦🇹

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

Wow! Deep comment… Cheers and thank you

[@TheMisterQuestion]

​ @Perkins Builder Brothers I don't know if that's intentional, but at one point you can see a frame with coordinates of your home. You might want to blur that out.

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

It’s just the coordinates of the town I live in but thank you :-)

I'm willing to bet the improvements done are for the soon to be on the market so the wife can get a bigger one lol 😆

[@juniorcarmack8741]

I’m surprise you didn’t use a primer over top of that stain wood.? That would definitely give the paint a better bonding surface rather than just two coats of paint.

Lol he just wanted you over to help him clean. It was his turn. He just threw in the painting to cover the truth up.

[@lawdog516]

Great video, I’m not a painter so I have a question. When painting the fireplace, did you have to prime it first? I need to paint my bathroom vanity so I was just wondering, thanks

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

The paint we used was a paint and primer in one so it will stick to the surface pretty well… Primer is never a bad idea though

[@lawdog516]

@@PerkinsBuilderBrothers thanks

[@a_w_bukhari7579]

Please, clean and prime the vanity first, preferably with an oil primer. Eric went this way because it’s mostly trim and it’s his own house. And they really scuffed up the surfaces before painting. At his jobs he does better lol.

[@lawdog516]

@@a_w_bukhari7579 what type of paint base would be the best, water, oil, acrylic?? Thanks for the feedback a_w

[@jasonengland8773]

Where's Ray? Noticed it seems like we haven't seen him for months and I don't remember if anybody has said where he was

[@wjthehomebuilder]

You didn't have to add that 'flotrol' to the paint to get it to flow out and not see the brush strokes? I've always had issues with seeing brush strokes, but that looked good on camera.
