House Overview & Paint Details

[Music] all right we're going to take a walk around the house give you a good view of the entire house and i'm going to give you some pointers as we walk around the house i did get some people asking on my social media already this shakes i'm going to just talk about the siding here in idaho deciding is it real wood the shakes are not real cedar shakes so people are asking me you know what i painted the house with what i paint the shakes with so um the house was painted with a satin paint it was painted with glidden um premium paint the body was satin um the shakes they're not real cedar shakes or just a composite material made of the same material the siding is so i painted them flat because i want them to look like flat shakes and when it comes to the painting process i'm just going to talk a little bit about tools and efficiency and i'll just give you a couple examples you know it's best to invest in the proper tools to make painting quicker more efficient and more enjoyable and for instance hand maskers you don't want to just have one hand masker so you've got to keep switching out paper and plastic that's going to take a whole lot of time doing that and time is going to take away from fun you could be having at the lake or time is money as a professional painter so you should have two hand maskers i um if i'm going to be painting this house i'm going to be spraying multiple colors in one day loading and reloading sprayers is going to take a whole lot of time so using multiple sprayers is a good idea good tip or trick if you can't afford multiple then you're going to have to load and reload sprayers but if you can rent two sprayers if you're gonna be spraying two colors it's gonna save you a whole lot of time i'm gonna talk a little bit about tapes and papers
