I'm going to show you what we and what we sand and some of the things we actually prime. So, stay tuned to the video on how to prep a house. So, you can see I'm in this entryway right now. One of the things we do on the entryway, we coaul any the trim boards on the entryway cuz we want it to look really nice, neat, and tidy. And on the house, cocking all the nail heads on the house. As you can see right here, this type of cocking on the entryway is purely for looks, but it does keep bugs out of all these cracks and stuff that we've got cocked here. [Music] Okay, we got Sean over here. He's actually sanding the door jambs with a paint eater. And then after that, we're going to the door jambs. Let the cocking dry. Then we're going to prime them with a peel bond primer. If you run into any loose nails, you definitely want to hammer in any loose nails or any protruding nails on the surface. We always the back side of the fascia. So throughout my videos, I'm using a lot of tools and accessories.

Got some nail heads on these corner boards that we want to We always these set vents up here. A lot of times these things are just stapled in and over time they'll begin to fall out and if you them it'll keep them from falling out. Anywhere where you have bare wood, you want to use a primer. We're using a peel bond primer on all the bare wood on this house. Anywhere where we've had to do any sanding, we're priming it. Hopefully behind me you can see some of the cocking we've done. All the nail heads are cocked here. Got some priming on some of the batting boards, the uh trim, some of the blistering on the siding over here. This is some of what we do when we're prepping a house. Now, on the painting day, you got to mask off your house to get it all ready to paint. So, we're going to walk you through some of the masking steps and what we actually mask before spraying. So, stay tuned. Here we go. So, I got a house here. Going to walk you through what we actually mask with plastic and what we actually mask with paper. show you some of the masking we have. We got we take put paper masking 9 in paper on any roof lines so we don't get on any overspray on the roofs. We're going to take and put drop cloths on those areas too. But you can see the masking on the roof. We mask all the windows off so we don't get overspray on the windows. We mask garage doors um on the ground so when we actually spray the garage door, we don't get overspray on the garage doors. They mask off any brick or rock so we don't get any overspray on brick and rock. And typically all the masking we're using is 9in paper with 1 in 2020 20 tape around any light fixtures, any electrical outlets, anything that can get overspray. These are your vents, but we'll typically mask them so they'll look nice, crisp, and clean and match the house. We got same over here. Here we got masking on windows. We've got a vinyl fence that we've masked 9 in paper to keep the overspray off the vinyl fence. We've got two doors in the back that we've masked off. We're going to be spraying these doors. So, we've masked them off so we don't get overspray on the doors. Got the thresholds masked. [Music] Going to fill it in with my 3M 2020 tape. It's cheaper. Frog tape's about $5 a roll.

And I've got a massive respirator I always use while I'm spraying. And we're going to take and spray. And we're going to typically look for um good start and stop points because you don't want to start and stop in the middle of the house. You always want to have logical start and stop points. These are good start and stop points. the corner and a batting board right here coming down the middle. We've got over here this other section. We got a batting board here and a down batting board over here, which are good starting stop points. But you try the best you can. So, we'll start down here. We've already sprayed the bottom, but I'll show you on video. I use a cardboard shield tap underneath doing my from end to end. I'll actually spray inside. This is a really dark color. So, you got these holes. You want to make sure it's um dark over light. So, you want to make sure you spray get an angle. Get inside those holes. And then when I'm spraying my lap sighting, you want to make sure you get underneath the lip. So, when I'm spraying, I'm not spraying straight on. I'm actually spraying at an angle.
