What happens here

After completing the first coat in the first room, immediately move to the second room (the purple room in the video) to begin its preparation. Lay down drop cloths, mask surfaces with 1-inch tape, and remove any fixtures or blinds. Once prepped, begin applying the first thin 'skim coat' to the walls and ceilings of this room, following the same technique as the first room.

Goal: Complete prep and first coat on the second room while the first room's paint dries.

[Music] [Applause] So, we're just working right along in this room. Got Greg's. He's finished putting the paper. He's laying down some drops. Got John's cutting in. And Zach is running the 1-in tape. I've already started rolling the first coat on the walls and the ceilings. So, we're back in the first room now. This is all dry. It's been approximately 1 hour. We got that other room all first coated and all the cutins done. And because this wasn't drying fast enough, we actually turned on a fan to help it dry. But we went and did a third room and got that one all first coated. Now we're back to this
