I just want to go over a couple of the tools I'm using just to make the job a lot easier um and more efficient. Cardboard shield holder. If you're ever going to spray, do any type of spraying. This is a must have. The craft cardboard shield holder. Um it can be screwed onto any extension pole. Um it comes with um one extension pole or you can get an extension pole from us that just screws in. It's a plastic one or you can just screw it on to any extension pole you want. It adjusts without any tools at all. This thing is a mustave, you know, when it comes to controlling overspray. You can see I've been painting these gables up here. I've had to lean uh no choice but to lean a ladder up against the gutters. You never want to lean a ladder up against a gutter without a gutter guard. So that's what this is right here. So this makes it so you won't scratch the gutters. I don't have to worry about scratching them right now because I'm going to paint them. But um I don't want to bend them. And this will keep you from bending your gutters also. So a pivot gutter helper is a must-have tool. Those are a few of the tools you definitely want to, you know, have with you. You do not want to do any um painting on the exterior of a house or the interior of a house without a hand masker. This is a 3M M3000 hand masker. Must have. It's got an an accessory. This is a tool for um for uh tearing um plastic. So, it makes it so the plastic tears tears a straighter. I don't even believe they um sell this tool anymore. I have a bunch of them. And there's one attached to that right there. But it comes with a regular blade, the um the plastic blade itself right here without this attachment right there. 3M M3000 masker. That's going to make your your prepping so much faster and more efficient. So, I want to talk about just another uh tool or accessory um is the ladder leveler. And I've got a ladder leveler on this ladder, my extension ladder. um bought it just brand new and installed the feet. I got a video on how to install the feet. Absolute must have um on one of your extension ladders. It's self-leveling feed and then root and then ladder boots on the top. So, I'm going to lift this up and show you. So, you can see the feet are self-leveling. If I had an obstacle right here, it's going to self-level itself. ladder leans up right there on the house. Got to have ladder boots on your ladder, too. So, there's a couple other accessories you definitely want to have. If you're spraying,…
