Im restoring a 1950 house I call the bach by the sea in New Zealand, I find your series fascinating. I varnished the repaired hardwood window surrounds yesterday, today preped the kitchen 12 point window ready for Enamel primer, we tore the cardboard lining off the bathroom tounge and groove walls today too, I am going tans and the kitchen is now sage green with hardwood cabinets, yellow wall linings, found a perfect new stove, a lot of hard work but we are getting there, love the intro, I have recorded very little, I restored a 70s gm, recorded it all and posted nothing, the orange is great
Wow, Joshua. Great video. Great, appropriate music. Great T-Bird (always one of my favorites). You definately have nailed the Mad Men vibe ( (I grew up back then, and my dad worked in a big ad agency, so I know that vibe well). You even carry yourself like someone who was an adult when those houses were built. When I was a kid, the house was always filled with the sensuous aroms of wood, paint, and turpentine.
Thanks for the comment, and I'm glad you're enjoying the channel!! As for prepainting....I don't prepaint or stain.... For me, trim or any joined surface always needs sanded together for a good fit, along with nail putty etc. Sanding a latex painted finish for me usually creates a line under the top coat.
Josh, I'm really digging the Robust Orange paint with the green/turquoise paint you original color matched. I was wondering if you might share the color formula for that paint? TIA

This is UA-cam. You might want to toughen up and not let everything get under your skin. We are done here, but you can keep up your yapping. Have a blessed day.
I like the ritual of opening the curtains every morning. Like your screen walls/ room dividers.
Love the color choices... the Nelson Daybed and Witco influences... just beautiful. I am extremely jealous.

What a great project! Sounds terrific.
Looks great!
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Wow they look great
Thanks, Jake!
Nice to see someone using a hammer and nail-set 😊
Absolutely! No brad nailers on this site!

Haha Thank you, I appreciate it. Any comparison to the greatest generation is a complement!
Houses have always interested me ... especially really old homes - I enjoy art as well and most all of my original artwork has a house in it ... 😊
I've read that orange was Frank Sinatra's favorite color too
Suggestion.... Might want to paint the trim before you attach it ;). Really enjoy your channel

How’d you come to live in sight of Polivnik’s house and, did you know of him at that time?
It just happened by chance...I knew of him, but didn't know where his house had been until I bought this house. Very interesting coincidence....

Thank you! Absolutely, Ill look at when I get home tonight.
@@joshuarobinson7043 thanks, appreciate it!
Are you an architect?
I wish they built houses like this still. I hate the new fake styles of the modern houses.
I think your screen door would look even better with a solid panel on the bottom, matching the wall and glass next to it.
It's a screen door and designed for airflow that a solid panel would restrict.

The owner has decided to have mesh in both parts of the screen, so your point is moot.
@@eattherich9215 you're a moot point.
