Now we're just continuing on. And I always like painting my fascia and trim by hand and it just gives better penetration and better adhesion. Some people will try spraying, you know, trim and fascia, but you know, we always spray the body of the house, but we always handdo our trim. And here I'm just using a 3-in Riverdale brush, a chinx brush, and a 4-in roller to hando all of our trim. [Music] Hey. Now, this is a little tool that I'm putting on here. It's called the brush buddy. And the brush buddy is a little um copper gadget that makes it so you can hang your brush on your bucket so it doesn't um sit down in your bucket. And this is a really cool tool made by another painter out there that we now have made available on our store and an absolute must-have tool. You know, if you don't want to have your brush sitting down in the bucket. Just continuing along just working on trim right here. And this is the belly band. had and cutting in around the uh corables and hand brushing and rolling the belly band. You can see I'm trying to do multiple things at once. I still have a hand masker with me. I've got my tool bag with me. That way I can get multiple things done at one time, one trip up the ladder. [Music] [Applause] Here's just we're cutting in the window trim. And I'm got high windows up here. So, we're hand rolling window trim and the the trim itself, the way the windows are, the vinyl windows, it lends me to being able to just hand cut in up against the vinyl with my brush. And once again, I do like using a Riverdale 3-in angled sashx bristle brush for doing exteriors. With today's modern-day paints that dry extremely fast, a chax bristle brush is a lot easier to clean up at the end of the day than any other type of filaments that you may use like polyester or nylon. This is kind of the fun part of painting and you don't have to wear a respirator and a mask. You're just cruising right along just doing all the trim. One of the the more enjoyable parts. I'd much rather paint trim than than spray the body of the house or do any type of spraying.
