lighter? It It kind of depends. You You just got to put it on and kind of see how it looks. Um, in this situation, it's probably going to be one uh one coat just because of the color difference. It's not that big of a color difference. Um, but normally you would need to look and make sure that it's not going to be two coats and uh and that way it looks good. Yep. So, we were using a very high-end paint which covers very very well. So, you grabbed a roller, you started doing some some of the cutins, and you were using a special roller doing the cutins. What kind of roller is that, Z? I was using the corner roller. Yep. So, we're using a corner press corner plus roller. And that way, we don't have to use a brush. And we'll show it here in this video at some point in time. And you're running around. But while you're doing that, you're determining whether it was going to cover in one coat or not. And because of a very slight color difference, we know it's going to cover in one coat. So, we don't have to do what we would call skim coating. If this if you determined that it was going to be, you know, two coats to do it, what we would do is begin rolling on just a light coat on as your first coat. And you got to kind of work with the guys that are masking and stay in the same area as they're masking. But we got all the masking done like really fast. This is we've got, you know, a dining room, we've got a kitchen, we've got an office in here, a hallway, and this family room. We got all the masking done in about an hour. We covered all this stuff in plastic. I think uh I'm not sure who was covered. Lucas might have been covering it. That was probably 10 15 minutes getting the plastic because you don't want to be doing we're rolling ceilings here. You don't want to roll any ceilings until you get plastic on everything. Plastic and drop cloths. And make sure the whole floor is covered as well. Plastic and drop cloths. And we are to make this process go a lot faster. What are we rolling with? We are rolling with the Graco power roller. And why are we using that? Well, there's a couple reasons. It's a lot faster. Um, and the the amount of paint we're putting up because we're doing walls and ceiling all in the same color. Um, it's just way more efficient to use the power roller for it. And you know, some people might say, "Oh my gosh, how much time it's going to take and clean up and tear down?" You know, how much time do you think it would it's going to take to set it…
