SPRAYING a House Exterior with an Airless Sprayer!

What happens here

Continue painting the remaining detailed sections of the dormer. For edges and corners, use the 3-inch angled sash brush to 'cut in' precise lines. For the broader flat surfaces of the siding, a small roller can be efficiently employed. Work methodically to ensure all areas, especially those around windows and vents, receive a consistent coat of paint. The goal is to achieve a clean, professional finish in these complex architectural elements.

Goal: Using a combination of brushing and a small roller, carefully paint the detailed areas of the dormer, including edges, corners, and the siding sections, ensuring smooth and complete coverage.

[Music] all right so I'm here doing the soffits above the accent color of the shake color so I'm just hand doing them rolling them because it's probably about the same amount of time if I'm working alone so instead of masking it I just want to get up the ladder one time so I'm rolling them just using a four inch roller I'm using a premier woven pro 3/8 inch roller to roll the large parts I'm also using a premier riverdale China X bristle brush this is a 3 inch angled SAS brush and the chinax for exterior paints the best to use on the outside because they clean up quickly at the end of the day paint does not stick to a china expresso brush and they're gonna be outside and you're gonna be using your brush it's hot it's gonna get dry paint on it it's really hard to keep them from getting dry paint on them so those are the tools I'm doing the software I'm just using a 2 inch cutting bucket I like the two or not 2 inch but two gallon cotton bucket with a 1 gallon buckets screen on it [Music] I think I'm almost halfway done with these Gables no no here like I'm working on this ladder I always keep one hand holding on to the ladder and my bucket at the same time the way I know my bucket secure and know I'm secure because I'm holding on to the ladder some people like using buck pale hooks but I'm not one for pale hooks because I don't have the bucket in my hand and I don't have control of it so I kind of like to just myself have the bucket you know in my grasp and the ladder in my grass so just makes me feel safe and secure there's somebody that's kind of afraid of heights makes me feel more comfortable doing it like that another two I want to talk about that I'm using today is the pivot roof boot and I've got 2 dormers up here there's the pitch of the roof you can't walk on it it's so steep these things you can screw them into your roof underneath a shingle and then you can slide a extension ladder down in it you can use other devices like the pivot ladder box in conjunction with these things but it makes accessing the roof safe and so these things are a must-have if you've got to get on a steep roof so you'll probably see me using these things on the 2 dormers up there a couple other things you just want to share when I'm out I'm painting before I start painting I use a product called workmans barrier workmen's friend barrier and this stuff just makes it at the end of the day it makes it easier for me to clean up my hands it actually puts a barrier on your hands…
