Caulk All Joints and Nail Holes

it a beautiful paint job so when it comes to prepping a house special brand new construction like this well it's not brand new for brand new siding there's not a whole lot of prep to do except for a whole lot of caulking there's not a whole lot of holes that we need to really fix just because it's lapsiding so the overlap is covering the existing holes but we still have trim pieces and all that stuff now the big idea behind all this caulking is not only cover up by the nail holes but we have all these moisture gaps the water rain bugs can get into and start attacking it from the inside this is where the Call Comes in there's a bunch of different stuff you can use but from my understanding is that there is stuff that's exterior that cures in 20 minutes that you could start painting and that stuff doesn't have the best elasticity movement that we need for the outdoors and then there's this stuff like this like dynaflex not a sponsor of this video but it is one of the most extreme ones that I have found so far that I'll cures a little bit longer it takes like an hour before you can paint but when it does cure it has far more flexible ability elasticity for the wood movement to take place now you probably noticed I have this band on my I have killed my arm so much from all the hammering the framing the nail gunning that I got a pretty wicked case of tennis elbow so you know your boy's broken let's get to work you know I was under the delusional impression that caulking is going to be really fast because there's not a lot of stuff to clock in terms of nails and then you forget all this little stuff these little Corners that have to be sealed together classic Alex underestimating everything always gotta learn things the hard way [Music] get these rubberized painters gloves a pack of like five is like 10 bucks or something like that it makes caulking a lot easier which leads me to my next point when you do these nail holes use your two fingers and go with the grain not against the grain because what you want to do is you want to get that sealant inside the cavity but you also don't want to create a div because if you create a divot and you paint it it's gonna look like dog crap so don't do that how do I know that I did that on my last house it sucked oh what the brick I just took a money shot to my chest so we're being on the other side of that phrase [Music] guys growing up cereal was one of the best parts of Saturday mornings you got your Saturday mornings…
