Thank you, be safe, and be grateful.
I’ve told every tradesman I come across to tune it. Every homeowner that needs to see the standard, I send all to this channel. Can’t tell you how much I appreciate you gentlemen.
I've always said I could listen to Scott talk about paint drying and here I am enjoying myself listening to him talk about paint
His voice is easy to listen to, I bet he could do voice work and make a good living. Audio books, narrating any documentary or anything vocally orientated.
@@warrenmichael918 absolutely. He reminds me of David attenborough the nature narrator.
First sheetrock, now paint. Only Scott can make you like both. As long as someone else is doing it, that is.
If it looks easy... you're seeing skill and experience put into it.
As the old saying in construction goes "Looks good from my house."
I like how they first cleaned the drywall texture off of the plastic sheeting to keep it out of their primer. Everyone you have on this spec house has done a fantastic job.
Trying to get motivated this morning but looks like I am sitting here another 10 minutes.
Throws Cy under the bus LMAO
Greg Dent, I’ll bet if or when Cy sees this, he’ll probably agree!
Haha, I thought that was funny, but also represents thier relationship in teasing one another in public.
When I was still contracting one of our local paint stores had 2 gentlemen that had each been working with paints and stains for over 40 years. That’s 80+ combined years of experience. They were sometimes grumpy but they could match about anything I brought to them. And it was usually done in about half the time they said it would take. 😆
They’ve both since retired and that’s a lot of knowledge and experience to lose.
My paint store in Chicago has a guy with a butcher knife tattooed on his neck.
Seriously, no joke. This channel. Your channel. Is unlike anything else on UA-cam. You’re teaching the new generation and reminding past generations how to be a true craftsman, a real man, a good man, an honest man. You’re not just providing A way to increase skill sets, but a way to also increase humanity and respect. Very few people truly understand the level of knowledge that goes into what some people may think is menial work. Somehow you’ve found a way to put together all the right words in just the right order to help dads teach their sons an in valuable set of skills, homeowners incredible ammunition to help make homeownership fun, etc.. I truly am thankful for what you and Nate are providing everyone. Because of the two of you I have gone way way outside of my comfort zone and tackled projects I never would have previously. I can only pray that one day I’d be blessed enough to be able to shake you and Nate’s hand. My wife, three kids and I all thank you both so so very much. I sure hope you get to read this...
Wow....what an incredibly nice note....I just read that outoud to Scott...and will read it to Nate when he gets here...thank you so much...such kind words....
So glad you were able to see it. I’ve watched every episode with both of my boys. My youngest sharpens everything now. Lost a couple butter knives but it’s all for a good cause. Thanks again for what you all do. Look forward to the next video. If you ever start some sort of man camp you have your first three attendees.
Agreed. This is a great modernized intro to the process of building a home from the ground up. Very good experience to see how it starts, add notes of wisdom to the bag of prior experiences and see what the present details are about basic construction. Being 45 and my father built his house himself (I was too young at the time for hands on) he passed on little bits of basics to me and watching this progression has given me opertunities to learn new "old" tricks, current standards, and added stules/approaches to different material options.
@@stevenschneider7443 👍
In this time of shortage of craftsmen these videos are all the more important. We not only need craftsmen but we need them trained in all of these points you have mentioned. Anyone can start a business and make a somewhat success at it ( unless they can't handle the financial end and that's more true than not - again training) but we need CRAFTSMEN trained by craftsmen. Something the vo-teck schools used to do but since a school district gets X number of dollars per student they don't want to even mention vo-teck to their students because if their students go to vo-teck they loose half their money. We have to do what Ireland does , in senior year of school they ask if you want to go in trades and if you do say, electrician , when you graduate you go to trade school for 4yrs. . When finished you graduate with a licences for that trade. I have rarely met an electrician who knows as much as the ones I met from Ireland.
I painted for years. Doing veterinary hospital maintenance. During the complete paint jobs we used rollers only. When the guy was back rolling the steps and there were no shadow lines from his roller and the paint looked like perfect. Made my day. Outstanding work to all involved
It's so good to hear you say it's not as easy as it looks. The drywall, and painting is so critical, but it's two areas people always think they could save a few bucks by doing it themselves. Just because it looks easy doesn't mean it is. Cheap paint, and inexperienced painters will absolutely ruin a job, and once the primer is wrong it's nearly impossible to fix. It's also nice to hear you mention how important backrolling is, if you don't backroll, especially level 4 drywall it will never look good. Period. It's one reason why I opt to just go ahead and roll everything. I spray trim sometimes, I almost always spray doors, but I don't spray walls and ceilings. By the time I've done all the cover up necessary for spraying I can cut it in and one man can roll and we'll be done at the same time as the sprayer, sometime faster. Plus I don't have to spend all day in a respirator, and have a half a gallon of paint around my eyes.
Just something special about true craftsmen that focus on clean professional work. I like associating with men who prefer to maintain the highest of standards. Such a treat to watch such men get after it.
I never understood folks that put 10's of thousands in builds/remodels just to skimp on paint, the most noticeable part of a project.
its because they are broke by then. -painter
I had that same conversation with my in laws as I was helping them refinish a house; “this is the part you have to look at all every day, let’s do it right.” Went cheap and didn’t listen about backrolling as the pricey new graco airless was their solution. Well, never enough time and money to do it right but plenty of both to do it twice! Had to go back in and redo it by hand.
Watching true professionals work their trade is always enjoyable. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for representing the painters! It's a rarity on site, especially from carpenters!
Watching this while my wife is in labor. Wonderful distraction.
My fiancé and I are currently building a house with a production homebuilder and boy have the videos in this series been an eye opener. The quality of work being done here is astonishing. I used info from the episode where they ran ethernet to call my builder out on runs that had 120v and cat 6 piled up together. Our builder isn't making us something as nice as this house, workmanship-wise. I'm grateful for the info being shared here because it has/can enable me to request that things be done to a reasonable standard. Thanks for sharing these.
Cant wait for the press conference at the four seasons painting headquarter!
😎My immediate thoughts as well!
You, sir, are brilliant.
@@isaackvasager9957 Release The Kraken!
What I loved most about Sherwin Williams was that I could go in and order a color I'd bought 2 years earlier for an apartment building and the color would be a perfect, exact match. With the 2 main Big Box stores I always had to paint the entire wall instead of touching up and sometimes the entire room because the color match was visibly different. I also loved that any little gimmicks Painters use was right there in the small store. When I began studying before I painted my first house I was astounded at how much technical information a real Painter has to know.
These guys are doing a great job! It's hard to find a painting contractor that puts enough paint on the walls. It seems like everyone wants to cut corners to save couple dollars nowadays, so it's refreshing to see true professionals at work!
Its also hard to find customers who will spend the money on quality products and a quality job
I worked on new construction sites, both residential and commercial doing low voltage wiring. I watched all the trades perform their work. The better the craftsmen the easier it made their work look. So much so an inexperienced man like myself is lulled into thinking "I can do that. It looks easy". NONE of it is easy! Experienced tradesmen make it look easy. I knew a taper/painter who I swear could tape on stilts smoking a cigarette, drinking a beer, holding a hock and knife all the while talking to me without looking at what he was doing, which was perfect work.
Damn straight. You hit that nail. I watched one man replace a crew of 3 tapers and I swear he got more done. The mud just leapt out of the pail, bounced off his hawk and needed a light sand. He just had it all down. I think desk jockeys discount the thought that goes into fine-tuning one's body with a trade.
Been painting 40+ years.... What you said about "Back Rolling" is 100% Spot On... its very important... and rarely done... nice to see this crew doing it... and 100% accurate on using the best material(paint)!!! Painting is labor intensive... paint makes up a very small portion of your Total Material Costs( whole house build)... Get the good stuff... and The best Stuff for Exteriors!!!
Back rolling is not as important with modern paint and better spray tips. You can't backroll corners. Never heard of corners peeling from lack of rolling
@@akillian1000 I back brush corners... You don't buckbrush or bankroll because of a peeling issue... NOT AT ALL... You convince yourself of what you want... Clearly your not worth me walking you thru it... I doubt you could understand!!! Best of luck...
@@johnanderson8096 I only backroom on rough surfaces
Hey John, you were so quick to crack off at me you didnt read what I wrote. I said oil paint. Did you ever roll walls with oil paint? Day after day after day? Im not self taught. When I said I had my ticket I meant a a gov't certification through a 4 year apprenticeship program and 8000 hrs on the job training. I wasn't making it up as I went along in some low end subdivision. Hospitals, government buildings, high end commercial work. If you couldn't backroll oil as I described you were not needed on many jobs. It was a thing.....
Glad us painters got a video and you didn't scrimp on the price and just get your uncle Arthur that does painting for £60 and a case of beer 😂😂😂
I’m building a house currently and you are releasing these videos precisely the step I’m on right before me so it’s great to see!
Thank you!
If something looks easy, it's probably because someone's so expert at it they've worked out all the wrinkles of their technique and have muscle memory for half of it.
Thank you for the awesome videos. I wish we could see Cy more often
Only Essential Craftsman could make literally watching paint dry an interesting video!
😂
As a painting contractor, I'm glad to see that the drywall was back rolled. I hear stories all the time of contractors spraying a super lite coat of flat sprayed only. Looks like they are doing a good job.
I am addicted to your good work. Best you-tube ever.
Your drywall guy did an amazing job.
I also want to make a shout out to nate who really kicked this video series into action. Between the two of you, your really producing an important documentary that will be viewed by people for years to come. Larry Huan cqrved the way into video carpentry of building A house(s), and while 100's pick away at macro elements of houses, you two have really shown how step 1 leads to step 600 and why each step is important towards the finish (see "tollarances for error" or what ever you labeled that video or should have called it that if I have it wrong😁).
The way you describe building brings back the poetry of an art form that few understand.
Building and craftsmanship have been heavily commercialized. This has brought both efficiency and convenience as well as a loss of deep respect and understanding.
In this video you bring a level of respect and understanding to paint. I appreciate that
It is my belief that every tradesman, at least a majority, have that one trade they just can’t stand.
For my father it was painting. His best friend Pete used to say painting was “ godless work”. I carry that sentiment, No disrespect to painters.
What I appreciate about your channel is that you bring a respect, almost a reverence, to something younger generations would have a hard time understanding unless they were raised in the trades, such as myself.
We all know there are the moments on the job you hate. Where you are just toughing it out and you are dirty and sore and it’s raining and your check last week didn’t have any overtime on it and there might be layoffs soon because work is slowing down, we all know this work can be hard.
It ages your skin.
It puts bruises on you.
If your heavily invested there truly are blood and tears.
But you, the essential craftsman, choose to shine a positive light on the trades and bring back respect and understanding.
I appreciate that.
It is a great service to generations ahead.
Keep up the good work.
And let’s hope the world of our future is built as well as the past.
Really enjoy your channel, it good to see an experienced craftsman going through the full project. Even more impressed when you step back and say “that’s the other guys expertise”
Great Job!!! Those guys know their trade. And those walls wouldn't have looked so good without the great work of the framer and drywall work. Beautiful
Never had a grandfather, wish this dude was my paps
I got my painting ticket in Ontario in 1990 and I am still at work. I hear the word "backrolling" often, but never used correctly. Thats because real backrolling is no longer necessary and the youngsters have appropriated the term.
.......Before latex paints offered durability, all quality paint jobs included oil paint on ceilings, walls and trim.
The nature of oil wall paint was such that it could only be put on so thickly before it needed an overnight dry. This meant that, depending on the colour you were using and the colour you were covering, one could spend 3 days on one set of walls.
HOWEVER, if you knew your stuff and timed it correctly, you could backroll to save a step. One put a fat coat up and waited long enough for it to grab the substrate, without the face of the coat drying. Depending on jobsite conditions this window would usually open within an hour. When the face developed the right tack, the painter would, with a dryish roller, go back over the walls, essentially "folding " the paint over on itself. This had the effect of tightening the stipple pattern and more or less, doubling opacity. That is backrolling. You had a finite window to give the effect of a second coat without the paint or extra day. The dry roller needed to be kept at the right load level so one didn't strip the wall, but other than that it was a miracle! Thank god we don't have to go through that anymore. As a note, I did see backrolling done with latex semi-gloss on walls one time but haven't tried it. Who wants a semi on their walls??......
It's really pleasing to watch the house evolve! Never been hooked by a 'series' on UA-cam that much. You keep up the good work! Just loving a show that I can learn from, relax and where I don't face any greedy online personas - thank you for your that!
With paint you get what you pay for because at the end of the day it comes down to the cost of TiO2 (titanium dioxide) which is what gives paint the color "white" (aka, it reflects all the light). The less you put in, the less white, the more things from the back bleed through, etc.
The more expensive the paint, the more it has, for the most part.
I used to test paint at a major paint manufacturer
Ok. It has finally happened. My COVID pandemic lockdown has resulted in my total mental collapse. I find myself eagerly watching to the background of soothing music a video about paint.
I am watching paint dry and can't wait to see how the story ends.
Spoiler alert. It gets dry.
That is what she said.....
I thought I was the worst Painter, Your Confession Just Proves Your Human. Pay for the best paint You can and Skill People t do is the Best Advic. Keep up the Good Work
After a lifetime of custom cabinetry. I can safely say that overall, Sherwin Williams is the most incredible brand of coatings I've ever worked with.
Granted I've had to use some crazy coatings. Such as catalyzed two part football helmet durable products or faux finishes. But overall.... Ask Sherwin Williams.
-✌🏼
What do think of BM I think it is better than sherwin williams
@@theoutdoorbeast6423, I painted the inside of my new home with Benjamin Moore paints and after twenty years it’s held up great. I had it professionally painted the second time and the painter recommended and used Sherwin Williams paint and it’s doing great. Like they said, you get what you pay for.
@@theoutdoorbeast6423 BM and SW are great paints, but are ridiculously overpriced. Now that I'm retired from painting, I use paint from Walmart for diy simple interior stuff. Has to be the ready mix, and color choices are of course limited, but the Colorplace paint is excellent...and 1/3 of the price of BM.
@@theoutdoorbeast6423 from multiple 30+ year paint salesmen/store managers, BM is best bang for your buck at from their “low” grade contractor to their high end. But at the highest price points you’re getting a great product regardless of company. If you can find a spectrum paint local I would HIGHLY recommend trying out their new first proprietary blend called Empress, it is like silk.
@@chuckscruffy cool I will have to try empress. What line of bm would you compare it too?
These series are part of my life; I have been following this since the beginning. I have to find my way up to Oregon to see with my own eyes.
Seems like skimping on paint would be silly considering the effort that goes into applying it. On top of that having to repaint because there are thin spots showing through would wipe out anything savings you ever made.
The problem is spray and pray gets the check wrote and a year or 2 latter it's too late to call back the scab painter to redo it... if you can even get them to answer the call.
nice to see a clean interior- also nice to work for a builder who isn't a hack and pays his guys and enjoys the outcome of his project....you can tell your drywall work(contractor) is just about as good as you can get before doing a level 5--almost looks like they used a dustless sander and did a proper 2 coats( not a seal spray can to do one coat so it splits by the time closing day comes around....) a clean site is key- nice to see you keeping people/ materials out of there way.....super rare these days--spray and back-roll is straight production- its nice to be able to do it this way so you can knock it out before tiles- cabinets/ rest of trim carpentry is installed. what your doing is sealing the drywall. a true painter does (finish coat) brush and roll...that is after the walls have been primed( sprayed)......spray is key now a days when it comes to woodwork mainly since oil based is rarely produced or used anymore...spraying and backroll is a hustle- something you do for builders who don't pay proper...you can tell a skilled painter just by the way he holds his brush...a lost trade....would ne nice to see the owner have his guys wear face coverings/ but he most likely wont pay for them to replace there Plastic lining on the face covering. A small cost to protect your workers......new builds are exciting when done for proper builders......sounds like a fun project...excited to see the final finish.. thanks for posting...
30 yr. pro painter here. You are right about a good solid coat of primer. It will eliminate many problems down the road. I apprenticed on high end custom homes where everything had to be just right. Then went into tract homes, blow and go and learned why you do it right the first time.
I can’t wait for the trim videos! Please show as much detail and give as much advice as possible! Love the content!
I love this channel. Shear skill at play here as there was with the rest of the contractors. The more skill you capture on film the easier it looks. This build series may actually do a disservice to the DIY crowd due to the skill that you guys have brought into that house. For real, everything is so organized and well thought out and, combined with the pros doing the work, may lead some homeowners into a false sense of ability lol. I’ve done enough flips and remodels to know that the product that you are creating is borderline unattainable for us amateurs. It’s pretty impressive to watch.
That airless painting really rocks! I used it a view times and the result was always a lot better than by handroller alone. But as mentioned by the narrator , there are many things to control. The pressure , the nozzle, the consistence of the paint/ primer and so on. And i really appreciate that you always show the whole Job which includes the cleaning of the machine/ Tools. So keep up with. . . 🤟🏻
P.S. Sorry for my bad english! I try hard but i guess i loose that battle. . . 😁
I started watching this series from the beginning about a a week or two ago and I love it!
Looks like s super finish which is what I would expect. One thing, made me chuckle, they both wore a respirator because of fine particles in the air but no eye protection even when below the sprayer. You might think Health and Safety codswallop but look at the over spray they were removing from the plastic masking sheets.
Awesome work sir🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Painters often get overlooked. Shouldn't, they make the finished product look amazing!
Awesome love your videos. Greetings from Los Angeles. I'm a painter . The main purpose for back rolling is for touch ups. Won't need to set up spray rig, protect flooring. mask new finishes down the line if damage to walls arise. As they always do. the roller texture was added so we can brush and roll affected areas and not worry about contrast in textures.
I binge watched during lock down last year. Love watching the progress. Can't wait to see the finished product. Keep up the good work my good sir. Big hello All the way from New Zealand.
My dad was a professional painter, I was his parter doing it for a few years. It looks like these guys do good work!!
Scott...this is the first time I have seen anyone Back - Roll after an Airless...and I have been around the Trades for 55 years! Those guys did it RIGHT IMHO! People don't realize that an Airless tends to Dry the very edges of the Spray before it hits the Surface causing unavoidable Streakes in the Finish. The Two-Man Crew is you had is the best way to keep ahead of Streaks and Fast Drying Edges. Like any Good Professional will tell you : "You Get What You Pay For"... It's just a Fact-of-Life everyone.
Good point about back rolling. It’s especially important when painting cinder block for the first time (primer is called block filler).
Back rolling doesn’t always apply. Bar joists won’t be back rolled. Kitchen cabinets, although it’s appropriate to do so don’t always call for back roll. Doors.
Work and working is good greetings from Argentina, is important to have work culture
Looking forward to the finish work. Kitchen and bathrooms too.✌
I like how they show on TV shows and in paint advertisement commercials DIYers painting a wall and they're using a roller to paint with and they're going back and forth on a 4'x4' spot in all different directions. You got to go from floor to ceiling in one nice long even stroke to keep from having splotchy spots, direction marks, and lines all over. When you're done painting with a roller you can see the direction of the strokes you made if you don't go straight up and down on the wall or the same direction consistently on the ceiling. I learned all that the hard way. Also learned the hard way that you should use primer on sheetrock too. I don't paint anymore, I let the professional do it. It's not that I can't do it and have it look nice, it's that I very much dislike painting period. It's not my cup of tea. Good video. 👍
Yep, you want good PVA and 2 coats. I rolled a few gallons of the stuff in my shop. Going from bare sheetrock to a nice uniform coat really makes a difference.
Hats off to the guy back rolling! I’ve been painting for many years and sometimes get lazy and don’t pick the roller up off the wall. He was coming off with every stroke and that leaves the nicest finish. 👌
I am coughing just watching this. LOL. But I bought an airless last yr for the first time for my remodel and love it. The back rolling tip was awesome.
Well I was going to ask you what treatment you were going to put on your stairs ( because I’m a stair/ trim guy) and you answered that question , and that would be such an awesome addition to that house and can’t wait to see the railing and your work !!!
Scott you are a true inspiration for all trades in the building and construction industry. This coming from a builder myself.
Thanks Scott and Nate! Had never seen the back-rolling before. Look for the Paint Life TV channel on UA-cam. He teaches a LOT about painting with airless sprayers. Just bought an airless, and using what he's taught me, did some great work on baseboards throughout the house, and will do some doors and trim as well. SO FAST! Wife doesn't want me to do inside walls, as she's worried about overspray on the carpet or vinyl flooring (which is precipitating the new trim going in after carpet comes out). I plan to keep the sprayer for other projects, and maybe do the exterior of the house. (then again, at my age, I may turn it over to a pro.
This is the most ambitious and greatest show on UA-cam
Were painting the new house interior walls cause it's already textured for now and taped the drywall work. Thank you.
Nate I'm loving the music choices lately! Keep up the good work!
Good job, especially on those vaulted cielings and walls. Those guys arms were burning for sure.
My husband and I worked his way through graduate school as painting contractors. Pro tip for saving money: buy mis-tints. Some are real disasters (florescent Shrek green, anyone?) but many are simply a tiny shade off and MOST can be re-tinted to match your color scheme. Also, for utility spaces like garages and storage areas, there's nothing wrong with the "recycled" paints at Habitat for Humanity (so long as you are OK with some variation of beige). I agree with you on the primer, though. Even mediocre paint looks better and performs better over a top-notch primer.
Spot on when said "you get what you paid for". Majority of people knows it, however still choose C or D options. So we must roll as the markets rolls and adapt to it. Nowadays everything seems to be made in large scale to cover the demand and not really last long like old days. At the end the environment ends up paying the final bill as more raw material are not utilized to cover its full life time.
I like the difference between European and American building style here. Here, usually we add one or 2 extra steps. Instead of only filling the seams all the drywall with get a layer of plaster, and we would add a layer of wallpaper to prevent cracks and general shifting of seams. But great work, looking great!
I have watched every episode of this house build plus plenty of your trade videos and I have truly enjoyed all of them. every morning with my cup of coffee I look so forward to seeing your newly released videos. Thank You.
I've done both. Direct to sheetrock is more difficult. Great job.
I had an uncle that worked for PPG for a very long time before retiring. He is still the go to family expert anytime anyone is doing something painting related. Those guys can know their stuff. He would also completely agree that you get what you pay for with paint.
Ppg made some of the best polys I used for woodworking. I'm sure their paint is on par with that.
Man, from empty site to now. I’ve been apart of the process building homes with my grandpa, but it never gets old. Keep up the good work!
about 4 years ago I was searching "textured bolt and nail heads" and came across your channel, I subscribed at that first vid and have looked forward to all the successive ones since and now as "we" approach 1 million subs, the content and production value has evolved and yet it hasn't changed at all, I still enjoy watching whatever you post, to you and Nate, "keep up the good work"
Loving it. Thank you Scott
I have been in the trade for 26 years. You don't HAVE to back roll when spraying. That decision is soley your (customer) choice.
Finally someone that understands the importance of bankrolling paint and primer! Good work gents
I've been waiting for this one for a while!
thanks for sharing, look like its coming along great.
Thank you for making these videos and you keep up the great work....... JJ.....
Great job sir back rolling gives a balance in the mill thickness of each coat of paint thank you for sharing this information god bless
Please be safe
Do apply a soft coat of petroleum jelly on your face it's a release agent and the paint will be easy to wipe off
I hope whoever is luck enough to live here understands the extraordinary quality and detail placed into this home.
I’m right along with you. I’m willing to do any project but I absolutely am not good at painting, straight out of high school I was hired to paint a house and thought how hard could it be, looked good but took so long there wasn’t any money made. Maybe there is something wrong with the way I learned. Pro painters make it look so easy. 👍
Speaking of Cy. I ordered a knife from him the other day and CAN NOT WAIT to get it. Amazing to talk to him on the phone.
At this paint priming stage you truly appreciate the effort and excellent job put in by the professional plasterers, A1. Cheers.
Primer, backrolling, and paint quality aside, for the DIY home painter, it is essential to play Earth Wind & Fire’s Greatest Hits while painting. (I always choke up a little when he whispers, “We were scared.” Been there. So good.)
That advice works for The Pro's too!!! Agree 100%!!!!
Love me some E, W, & F. Not sure I understand its connection to painting, other than listening to great music while working around the house!
@@mrmorganmusic I’m not sure why it’s the perfect music, either. I also like to paint to Bach piano pieces played by Glenn Gould. Maybe it’s the math in both?
@@johnsrabe If you like Bach played by Glenn Gould, maybe try some Brahms (NOT played by Gould, though!).
So happy to see them back rolling your huge investment. Amazing to see how often people get screwed with a spray and away company.
Not sure when it was - early last year, maybe - when I came across the spec house series & binge watched all the videos up to that point. Watched every one after soon as I saw it in the feed. Thanks for all you do...
I am so excited to see the flooring
I appreciate the comment about back rolling. I started off as a roller painter, but a painting buddy turned me on to exterior spray and then roll (kinda like the sprayer applies instead of rolling repeatedly into a tray) and ut stuck with me (I still don't like spraying interiors for remodel/repair because there is no such thing as not "overspray" drift and in a lot of cases interior tape and plastic takes as long as just old school roller and tray or better grill and bucket roller dipping. But I see these "pros" spray and pray a house and it looks good short term, but long term a back roll really embeds the paint and the little extra time means they are pride orientated in thier work and want to make sure it's going to hold up for the life warenty of the paint. NOT TO MENTION a lot of my work is fixing things gone bad and I have several times been told "just a couple years ago we had this painted" and as I disect the damage, I can see a number of causes between faulty construction (which some was just the standards of the time) but often just lack of detailed finishing (like caulking seams which you also addressed in the siding video), and back rolling didn't push the paint into the little voids in the surface so a couple winters and summer weather's just pried apart materials like a crowbar and it would have only took maybe 10-20 more minutes per area to prevent it and add 10+- years to the finish.
I actually kinda had a debate with a pair of neighbors about siding that was starting to de-laminate, one planned to just paint it again or replace spots that were the worst, the other said just paint heavy, I urged he caulk the cracks as much he could and wet sponge it smooth (which one neighbor though that would lead to a scabed surface, until I pointed out my house was 100% caulking on every edge, nail, and seam) and the other neighbor was leaning on him as the more reliable authority (neither sees my own "pro" works). So it's easy for people to think "this is all you need" when "this is the right way" is pretty close to the same effort.
Great show.
It has been amazing watching all of this come together. Cheers from Columbia County.
Really looking forward to the finish work!!
