    I was a mechanic for about 50 years. As a young mechanic I got married. As a married mechanic I wore a ring. As a mechanic my hands were often near some powerful moving parts. One day one of those parts tried to remove my ring. Today I have no rings but I do have a finger.

    I'm glad you mentioned PPE. Pressure washing, sanding and spray painting all of which puts particulates into the air you are breathing. Molds, animal fecal matter, a wide variety of chemicals and carcinogens finding their way into your lungs. Please take care of yourself. Great video and amazing work, the house will have great curb appeal after you are done. 🙂🙏

    Pressure-washing is addictive. Once you start you can't stop. I lived decades as a homeowner, wondering what the big deal was. Then I bought my first pressure washer and it was indeed "life changing" as you said! You know you have a problem when, at bedtime, you start watching the numerous pressure-washing videos available on UA-cam.

    One bit of valuable information with those sprayers, do yourself a huge favor and get an extension wand for it. Not saying to get a crazy long one. Just an 18" or 2 foot wand. The wands make the painting feel so intuitive. Trust me, anyone that has a sprayer, or is considering purchasing one . . . GET A WAND.

    Superb job Mel!!
    Thanks for sharing!
    Looking forward to seeing the rest of your renovations/changes on the exterior!
    I am a big natural, rustic renovator, ie lover of natural old brick or wood, which we have so much of here in Spain.
    But for the colour for your chimney, based on what you have chosen for the exterior, my gut feel, would be a dark burgundy/blood red colour tone.
    Apologies in advance if you dislike that choice!
    I am sure whatever you choose, it will look great!
    Thanks again for sharing and please keep the videos coming!!

    i really love this channel. You don't know what you can do, until you try, these video's are an inspiration for me to do more myself at my place and try things out. I totally suck at this kind of work, but after watching some of your, and other video's i decided to give it a try. The work came out better as expected, but the most important thing is that you feel proud about doing it yourself.
    The yellow doesn't fit this kind of vintage house, so very smart to change that. Maybe i'm odd, but i really loved the original color of the cedar, when you stripped the yellow paint off. For my taste, it suited the age of the house much better. I wouldn't have choosen your actual color, but it looks much better than the yellow. Keep up the good work, and your great video's. 😊
    BTW, i LOVE what you did yo your kitchen... So fantastic. 10 points...

    I ve painted forever and I also do stone work. You could culture stone that chimney and that would make thee whole project pop. Your roof has a easy pitch and the stone can go right over the brick. So you may have 20 sqft of stone to apply maybe a little more, that could be done in a day. Stone applied, bagged with mortar, tuckpointed struck and brushed out and your done. Done in a day by a guy that knows how to do the job. Mixing the mud is key for each process. Im doing a 30 sqft job tomorrow with a helper it should take 6 hrs. Good luck.
