What happens here

Go through all the trim, corner boards, and areas where siding meets trim, and apply caulk to seal any gaps or cracks. This prevents moisture intrusion and creates a smooth, finished look for painting. Also, identify any exposed nail heads and caulk them to prevent rust and provide a uniform surface. For areas with peeling or blistering paint, apply a peel-bonding primer such as XIM Peel Bond. This primer penetrates and seals compromised paint, creating a stable surface for the new paint to adhere to, preventing future peeling.

Goal: Seal gaps, stabilize peeling paint, and smooth surfaces.

up to date to current standards. We've got some cocking on the interior we've already started. We coaul all the trim corner boards. Got some nail heads that we've been cocking. So we're going through the cocking process. We're going to be doing some sanding, power uh sanding and peel bonding. We'll be taking off all hose fixtures and so forth. When this all this cocking and primer is dry for tomorrow, we'll come back and power wash the house. We got Matty Jity back power washing the fence, stripping the fence to actually get ready to solid color stain it. Drew Zimmerman's going to be trimming plants. We don't want any plants touching the house. So, we trim them back about a foot to two foot. Walk back here and see video. Matt is power washing the fence. We're here sanding a door jam. We're getting ready to peel bond it. We use a paint eater to actually sand that door jamb.
