Removing and Repurposing House Numbers

[Music] i'm gonna start doing what we call lights numbers and downspouts and this typically happens pretty fast i'm gonna start with the numbers just give you a pointer really quick i'm gonna be taking off the numbers themselves in my tool bag i always carry a phillips head bit so i'm going to grab my phillips head bit to remove the numbers and if it's not your house we've done this before we'll pull the numbers off and we can't remember what the address is you can go look at the mailbox in the mailbox to tell you if there's a mailbox but we run into situations where there was no mailbox um couldn't find the address so take off your numbers and put them i'll show you what i do i'm going to remove them because we always take and repaint these numbers these are black kind of faded and stuff we paint them an oil rub bronze color i'm going to set them on a cardboard because i'm going to spray them with an oil red bronze but punch them the screws right through the cardboard and i'm going to install them on the cardboard just what the address is that way you won't forget what it is so it's 2998 just remove these we're gonna be painting the screws too so we want the screws going right through the number we'll just spray these right away so they have plenty plenty of time to dry and then um and then we'll reinstall them if we're done painting so i'm going to take this set this and i'm going to remove a couple other things out front and then get on to some spraying
