I Built a $5,000 Mudroom for Under $1,700

What happens here

It's Day 4, and the assembled mudroom units are primed outdoors. The creator acknowledges the windy conditions are not ideal for spraying but proceeds, taping off the wood grain areas to prevent overspray. The primer is applied using a paint sprayer. During the process, a strong gust of wind causes the assembled mudroom units to fall, resulting in some minor damage and grass adhering to the wet primer. The units are then sanded and re-primed to correct the imperfections.

Goal: Apply primer to the mudroom units for sealing and preparing for paint

Tools and materials

  • Masking Tape — Taping off areas to prevent overspray
  • Paint Sprayer — Applying primer to the mudroom units
