trim, and our window trim. So once step number four is done, I'm going to move on to step number five, and that's removing switch plates and spackling the holes in the walls. So I got switch plates right here. I just want to remove all these switch plates. They're very simple to re remove. I'm just using a flathead screwdriver. Just going to remove the switch plate, put it in a bucket. That way we can paint around it. You don't want to try to cut in around the switch plates. So now I'm getting ready to do the spackling. Got a few holes up here. Got some lightweight spackling and a flexible spackle knife right here to do the spackling. I like a lightweight spackling cuz it's going to dry really fast. Got some small holes just going to spackle them. Wipe the spackling out with my knife. Wipe around it and it's going to dry really fast. We want something that's going to dry fast cuz this room is not going to take me more than 4 hours to paint this room. So I got to have a spackling. It's going to dry fast.
