Utilize Sprayer Saver and Plan Remaining Work

Airless Spraying SOLO: Painting a House
What happens here
When the paint level in the bucket gets low, use a 'Sprayer Saver' tool. This device is designed to tilt the 5-gallon bucket (or 1-gallon) at an angle, allowing the intake tube to reach more paint at the bottom without sucking air. This prevents damage to the sprayer and ensures all valuable paint is utilized. The presenter also highlights the stability of the Sprayer Saver, preventing the bucket from falling over. After finishing the main body of the house, the presenter mentions that the large dormers will require roof boots and ladder jacks to access. The remaining softs and gables will be painted on day three, and then the trim will be rolled.
Goal: Maximize paint usage, protect the sprayer, and outline the next steps for the project.
