I loved that personal view with the camera on Jordan's head.
I found myself holding my breathe when you were under the plastic, hehe
Paper White is such a classic timeless color, like a block of Amish butter, great choice.

I ordered AG1 and used your link so you get credit. However, if you go straight to their site the pricing is the same.
I love Stud Pack!!! And I want to see you do a bunch more videos!
So as a retired Neuro-Trauma ICU RN would you PLEASE do something about that scaffolding!!!!
The chances of severe, life altering injuries from a fall are very real. I’ve taken care of a few. And know of more who never made it into the ambulance or the ER.
Please!!!!
Want to add to this. 1990 fell off scaffold dropped 50ft. Torn aorta and two fractured vertabra.
yup. I was a bedside nurse many years back and had a lot of patients who had fallen from roofs and doing other construction jobs. I would take every extra precaution available.
I love you guys so much I gotta agree with the safety concerns others have expressed. Paul, people are more likely to fall the older they get. You're no spring chicken anymore, pal. Don't take those chances. Put up side rails and even wear a safety belt if you can. I've had several friends fall. Some suffered serious injury that he's still paying for. Another dear friend fell twice and the 2nd fall took his life. You're worth more than that. Waste a little time and be safe even if it's inconvenient.
I'm always holding my breath every time those guys are on the scaffolding. And when Paul stepped off and balanced on the rail, OMG!!! Please make them double wide!
I fell from a single story and destroyed my heel 10 years ago when my legs tangled in the ladder on the way down. It still hurts to this day, and the pain caused me to compensate incorrectly, ruining my knee.
Pro painter here. Even if I painted it, someone else is going to have a “better/different” way of doing it and voice their opinion. You guys did great and chose a great product to paint with. Just be careful with those heights! My dad fell from over 20 feet this last September and was airlifted with 7 broken ribs, fractured back and collapsed lungs (among other smaller injuries). He had been painting on ladders for over 30 years and never fell…until he did. He is doing well considering but he could have easily been ☠️
Love you guys! Keep up the good work!
My brother and I come from rock n roll industry. We're all invincible cowboys when we don't want to spend the money, but a few months in ICU is gonna hurt a lot more than the cost of some more planks and railings in the short term.
Another great video but I am concerned about some things and surprised how some people have voiced their opinions on here. I am a semi retired commercial painter that have worked on all types of structures. I have been following you guys for a long time. The main concern, as others have voiced, is over your scaffolding set up and no railings. One respectful tip when you’re going to spray outdoors is to start early before the winds pick up. Your choice of paint is great. SW Emerald is an excellent paint. As far as the color that is always a very personal choice. I can’t believe someone commented on the color you picked. One other tip in the very high traffic areas you may want to use a primer, like downstairs door frames and maybe around where you have a water spigot. I know the manufacturers say one thing but as you guys well know by experience that they are not always right in all instances. Otherwise I love you guys videos I stop whatever I am doing to watch your videos and try to learn from you or your guests. Keep up the great work and I’ll be waiting for your next video. 😊
Also theyre not wearing the right air filters
What's the correct one for painting like this?@@MiSa-yl1lj
Sherwin-Williams emerald is a hybrid alkyd enamel, it has a high hardness on the mohs scale, it is its own primer the use of a primer with it simply makes it less durable, it's made for metal or wood,
Wow that looks so epic
I was cringing when they were on top of the scaffolding holding onto the plastic without any safety railings 😮
Retired painting contracto with over 40 years here: Some comments, I would not be spraying with all the wind you had . I prefer to brush and roll the facias, with 2 coats, gives a better solid paint application than 2 light spray coats and you don't need a bunch of guys holding spray shields and plastic , and you can save a bunch of money on blue tape and time putting it on . Hanging your cutting brush on the side of the bucket in warm/hot weather will result in your bristles covered with dried out paint in a short time, requiring you to clean the brush with a wire brush as you move along the job . I would keep the brush in the paint . Very important, do not bend your wrist when spraying, keep spray gun perpendicular to the work surface , and you will have less overspray if the gun was a little closer to the work . Last suggestion, on the window trim, I would have caulked first and then painted all the trim, that way you see one exact color and sheen instead of one color of caulk and one color of trim color .
I know you guys aren't pro painters but the job still turned out nicely .
As a painter who sprays the changes I would have made are: Use paper masking on the metal roof fascia and have my assistant use a 3 inch wiz roller to quickly role it smooth behind me, once I'm done that strip, and catch any drips or misses made because of the wind. It will take the assistant less that a minute to role it even where it needs it. You want to have an assistant near by to catch any over spray and move step ladders out of the way. Oh yes wear cloves and a long sleeve shirt. have back up glasses ready as well. That is also the assistants responsibility. Also a 3 foot extension or even the 12 inch (?) extension arm would have helped at the peak. I thought the same as you with the paint brush thing, keep it in the paint and or throw a wet rag over the bucket when you put it down. Besides that they made a good job. Definitely should have taped that plastic down. that was a mistake and left the windows covered as well. I know they wanted to see it finished. Paint all one colour then change your paint colour. Over all his spray technique isn't to bad. Practice practice practice.
100% agree
You know what 99% of the pro painters I've seen wouldn't do any of this. They'd do minimal or no caulking, they would spray over dirt, they'd only mask or tape what they absolutely had to. I know you two are different but I guarantee this paint job is better than 99% of professional jobs. It's so sad out there right now, unless a camera is in someone's face they don't give A F.
@@fox156Depends if your talking construction union painters or house painters. Commercial jobs are all about speed and money.
@@drewcama2488 Assuming that you're just a normal person with no contacts in professional contracting or painting and you want the exterior of your house painted, you're either gonna end up with exactly shoddy the job that he described or pay much more than 5 thousand dollars to a large company or, if you're lucky, a combination of both. All jobs are about speed and money to any contractor I've ever met. They do not care about the finished product or if they do it doesn't come across in their work. Now, I'm sure there are some good ones out there, but like I said, if you don't know the business intimately you have no way of finding out which ones are the good ones. I wish more contractors made youtube channels for this reason so you could actually see what kind of work they do. I'd hire StudPack to do just about anything and pay them whatever they said it would cost because you can see the body of Paul's work. Even when he makes a mistake it either doesn't affect anything or he goes back and fixes it. From the perspective of this average homeowner - the average contractor is not worth their weight.
Love the progress and the paint color. But c’mon guys, invest in some more scaffolding. There’s no need to be that high in the air with no railing protection. One wrong move and your dream house becomes a nightmare. You’ll need it for the main house anyway, so just buy it now.
LOL I don't know my though was they had to many. on the first coat and then not enough on the side for sure.
Scaffold can be hard to come by in Texas right now and it ain’t cheap when you can find it. They’re building at a rate you wouldn’t believe unless you saw it. I was on a site where the all wooden boards were falling apart and multiple people had fallen through, this was on a 5 story multi family complex. They literally could not get new scaffolding to replace the old stuff fast enough.
@@tristanmartinez2667 if you think scaffolding is expensive, try buying a quadriplegic electric wheelchair, or reconstructive spinal surgery.
Seeing Paul on that thin plank with no railings 25 feet in the air was definitely not cool.
There was a time when they were on the scaffolding talking and you could tell Paul was not talking like he normally does and I'm inclined to believe he was more focused on how and where he was standing. But I agree with you. I sometimes wonder if a man lifts would be a whole lot better
I love this color, "Paper White" and I am glad you showcased Sherwin Williams. A lot of homeowners think only Benjamin Moore makes good paint. SW has been a gold standard and is more contractor-oriented.
As others have mentioned, I'm really uncomfortable with the risk-taking on the scaffold. I know everyone is excited and comfortable working up there. But one wrong move by any one of you could end in tragedy, or at the least, alter the trajectory of your plans and this channel. A little more time spent tied off or at least with railings will be a priceless investment in time. Blessings!
When I had my house painted and upon asking the painter what paint he prefers he said SW. I was like what?? I went with his recommendation and yes, it looks and has held up fantastic. That's why the pro's are the pro's
SW is the oldest paint company in the wooooorrrrrrlllld
@bdobrzensky most high end jobs we do ben moore is requested. To be honest, it does seem to be a lot more durable and easier on touch up. On exterior I do like SW duration. Duration is my favorite on exterior, its like putting your house in shrink wrap. It actually stretches like rubber when it's dry.
Sketchy scaffold stuff on the side paint job.
That's what I thought, I couldnt do it lol
I have worked on a scaffold and it doesn't bother me...normally. But you guys are taking unnecessary risks with no leash, not enough boards and no hand rails. All it takes is one misstep and then it's all not worth it.
compared to what??... osha smosha.... smFh
I'm glad you said that. The scaffold is a death trap in every way
That painting at the end made me so nervous for you guys. Glad no one fell off the scaffold.
I'm going to chime in with everyone else and say, "Please add some rails and/or safety harnesses to the scaffolding!" Watching Paul step over to balance on the rail scared the $#!+ out of me.
Hardly a video goes by without half the comments talking about how blessed the guys are to be working with their dad and FIL: and learning from his expertise, etc. But just imagine how devastating it would be for all that to end due to a preventable accident.
We love you guys, and love watching you succeed. And I don't think it's selfish of us viewers to want you guys to be safer so that we can continue watching the excellent content you put out!
Wow!!! That looks awesome!!! You guys were freaking me out up there in top of the scaffold with no fall protection. Looking good.
It's refreshing to see a build on RUclips finishing the exterior before moving on to the interior. There are some channels that have gone years with exposed Zip boards or SIP panels.
I know it's expensive but for sake of easier and more time efficiency I would invest in more walk planks for your scaffolding. Enough so you can have a row on every level you won't believe the difference it makes. Just a thought I know it's easier said than done.
Yeah and they don't need those expensive ones either. but good resale value when they are done with them in 5 years.
A 2:12 too is good for the soffit but you switch back to the 5:12 for the sides. The first number x2 is the fan size, so a 2 will give you a 4” fan and a 5 will give you a 10” fan. The 12 is the orifice size. Larger sizes are for thicker paints.
Speaking as a signmaker for 44 years the Emerald from SW is a great longevity paint. Quality. Imagine your car sitting outside for 15 years 365/24/7? Never washed or moved. That is what a sign does so I have learned a bit about finishes.
The Emerald interior is great as well. I like it better than Benjamin Moore Aura. If you start with a smooth wall (e.g. skim coated) and you control the environmental conditions, in the room to slow drying, you can roll it with a microfiber roller and the result is a look that is damn close to an airless spray finish. Again, you have to start with smooth walls to begin with. If a putzy mothafucka previously rolled the place with a 3/4" inch roller, any paint is going to look like trash unless you skim coat the walls.
I still use Ben More Scuff-X for interior trim. But Emerald matte is a winner on drywall indoors.
You may be the first person I've seen who ever said they like Emerald over Aura, hah. How do you feel about the waterborne urethane Emerald over others for cabinet paint? We get a great deal on that so I've been trying it out but I haven't experienced long term results yet. I know they've got gallery now, trying to decide what I'll use on my kitchen coming up.. the urethane does take awhile to off gas though which is tough when you keep places sealed when it's cold.@@ILruffian
@@scyarch1136I like Emerald over Aura only due to my specific quirk of absolutely hating stipple. Even with extender and microfiber roller sleeve, I just cannot get Aura to lay down as smooth. That said, the new reformulation of Aura (2022) made it a lot better to work with. Coverage is nuts, even in something like Chantilly Lace.
I wouldn't go near Emerald or any other paint for cabinets. Slow drying and not as tough. Those should be 1K or 2K poly. I tried SW Gallery Series. Have not gotten it to work out yet. I keep getting pinholes (similar to orange peel, but not the same thing). Although I'm probably going to give it one more try, the real answer is likely going to be Centurion or Envirolak. I hear exceptionally good things about the latter. Only problem is sourcing it. All of these 2K polys are near impossible to get.
FFLP tip will eliminate your overspray misting problem. 208/212 on edges then switch to bigger tip.
Holy no rails - y’all are luckily like cats up there but my golly! Love your videos guys! Keep up all the great work!!
NEW STUDPACK LETS GO GANG!!!!!
That sherwin Williams exterior paint is the best no joke. We have used it but 2 coats like Paul said is best. ❤
Retired from my family's 80 year old commercial/industrial coatings contractor. I agree with all the praises and criticisms. My praise is the effort in doing the best you guys can with all the different scope of works on this project. Good job guys! My criticism, not cutting in trim color on edge of casing. Looks cheap.🤨
I actually want to do that! We’re debating it because it’s so extra work/time. Eventually we’ll end up doing it. (Probably waiting for a pump jack purchase)
You can paint cabinets with super high end coatings using that Graco x7. I used a graco x5 to do built ins in my dining room and office using the x5 with a tritech 370 fine finish gun and gold 310 and 308 tritech fine finish tips. I used renner 765 1k for my projects since they are low traffic, but for a kitchen or bathroom I would use renner 688 2k topcoat and renner 651 2k primer. Elite fine finish is in Texas. The guy that runs it is Luis I think who used to be inside sales I think at Surfprep but he knows his stuff. High end finishing is usually $200-230 per linear foot so you could save some dough by diy’ing if you had the desire. It’s not rocket science but definitely takes some planning and practice. I’m a doctor but build cabinets and do high end finishing for fun. I took a class from Dennis Rodrigues (midway interiors on RUclips) and Eric reason (also excellent RUclips resource). These two dudes are at the cutting edge for cabinet finishing with the state of the art wood coatings. I took notes from them and became pretty good friends with Dennis who always helps me out with random questions I have. Good luck.
As a residential painting contractor of 22 years, I know with hardie board, you don't HAVE to prime it if it has been weathered for 6 months or less. But I always prime any new siding, all types. The first coat may absorb at different rates leaving your finish to flash. Also adhesion on your first coat is the most important on the life of the siding.
Still looks nice though!
Not an expert but that was my question... is primer key to a better paint job?
@@billger5710absolutely
If budget allows, I prime new hardie with Loxon just to reduce the risk of efflorescence or PH issues.
I'm a house painter by trade and it looks good guys! Not too bad on that gun. I would have come from little ol Eastern Kentuck to knock that out for you all. You all keep me motivated I know how hard it is to work on a project, film it, edit it, and put it out. It's hard for me to make painting houses exciting for RUclips and I'm new. I kinda switched to Painter/Handyman. Loving how this is coming along guys. GOOD WORK!
it looks fantastic. Dont worry about slipping with the blue color, it was on the baton that you knocked off so it was already out there
I can't believe it's been a year!!! Best part is we still have the inside to go and I'm really looking forward to that! 😀 Y'all are doing a great job and I've sure enjoyed watching and learning every step of the way. I know the house build is going to be even more awesome!
Love you guys. Denatured alcohol illegal in California! Pain in the ass, especially when working with shellac/BIN.
I'd use at 517 for exterior paint.
Don't take any masking off until all spraying is done.
Looking good.
Didn't know that. We use denatured alcohol for a lot of things here in ms. Thanks for the info!
when cleaning drip edge use two rags one to clean and one to wipe clean. Just a thought
Finally caught up on all the StudPack Dream Build episodes and it’s such great series! I’ve watched a ton of Perkins and now I have a new channel to look forward to uploading
Yall are doing amazing work. There is a lot I could have learned from yall. I built my first house at 20 with a crew of 4 and it was a monumental task. Props to yall!
Nice job guys!
Some pointers😂
Your shield, cover with masking paper then it never gets all over the actual shield and can be reused multiple jobs. Second, get a smaller tip…I like fine finish even outside!! Less overspray.
I like to start at the bottom of the ship lap and work my way up. You don’t have to start at the bottom of the building but the bottom of a section of boards…say ten board s at a time, I’ll start at the bottom and go up, making sure I’m hitting the bottom edge with each pass as I progress upwards.
Mini roller is your friend.i use those 4 inch that go on wire frame all the time. They allow you to paint inside corners, are easy to control where the paint is going and lay off a beautiful finish.
Microfiber if you’re really wanting perfect.
Anyways great work and see you on the next one
Love watching your videos as soon as they come out. I always pick up a little something to help with my own projects around the house. My only issue with a few of your videos is I can hardly watch when you guys are way up on that scaffolding with no safety lines. I am afraid of heights and have trouble watching. Stay safe and keep putting out good content.
I grew up in Wooster Ohio where they make those brushes and I painted houses for a while. Wooster over Purdy any day.
Love the SW Emerald!!
Gotta say we really enjoyed spraying it! Wind probably took it down a few houses so they’re loving it too 😂
Nice, I painted all my houses my self. It’s all about the prep when it’s needed. Good video buds.
Me too except I brushed on the paint.
After doing everything I think it'd be cool to hear what you guys think is the hardest trade to do is. It's all opinions. Everyone has their own. I do a bunch of different stuff and I definitely think painting is one of the harder ones. Getting consistent texture and the fact it's the least forgiving. It's to easy to make a few mistakes that are a lot of work to fix. ( talking high quality paint job not just slapping paint on the wall in a rental ) just my opinion. Everything else is normally easy fixes if you mess up
Love that colour matched window trim. It really makes those windows pop. Great job.
You guys are fantastic! Can't believe how many critics there are out there. How many are building houses with just 3 guys?!?!?! Keep on doing what you are doing and take your time!
I contracted a paint job on a two storey house using a hand held W/power cord Graco, and I will never go back to rolling. The hand held with a 2-12 took me 15 minutes for each side. It took me longer to calk and to tape off and mask the windows. The actual best part was not having to mask the roof line, and the gutters painted so good with an egg shell texture, that I had to wipe my eye with a tissue. I got the hand held Graco, because I figured if I didn't burn it out on the first house I could use it on my house next year, and I need to do ceilings. I used 5 gallons on a 2500sqft home, so I should be good for 3-4 more houses before it needs a rebuild.
Props on your garage/house. It looks great. Sherwin Williams lasts a freeking long time.
Hey guys just a tip from a painter, I like to spray exteriors with a LP Graco tip, the black ones specially the the bigger sizes create a lot of overspray. The green LP tips require much less pressure thus creating much less overspray. I use LP 415 for interior walls, LP417 for exterior walls, FFLP310 for doors and a FFLP308 for cabinets. I only use bigger spray tips on interior projects where you can mask everything, not worry about over spray and just spray like a mad man. For the LP and FFLP you need the blue tip guard, they will not fit on the orange one.
I really appreciate the little tips like the bag with carabiner that holds tools for the airless sprayer. Contemplating what projects I can do myself to get an older home up to par!
The bucket works fine but I am a fan of coffee cans as they have a nice handle you can hold and they come with a lid to seal the paint between coats. Nice color pick.
I like the coffee cans too but, I find my hands cramping up
Maxwell House Coffee has a handle down the side and you can add a S hook to the handle and hang it when your hand gets tired.@@billvandorn5332
Neither are as good as using a gallon paint can. I wash out my cans and re-use them, or you can buy empties at the store. They are more compact than that plastic bucket, but the real deal maker is they have the built in drip edge - which catches excess and allows it to stay in the groove and not drip down the side of the plastic bucket.
Get some HandyPails before painting the house. They have an adjustable hand strap, a magnet to hold your brush, are easy to clean, and come in different sizes. I use one at my job and it helps a lot when I have to go from room to room and need my other hand to unlock the doors between them.
Plus 1 to Handy Pails, they are awesome!!!!!!!!!!! esp with the little insert-able liners that you just throw away at the end.
I used the Handy Paint Pails for years. Recently switched to the Purdy ones from Sherwin Williams. Even better, as they fit a 4" roller.
FANTASTIC!! CONGRATS!!!
9:20 awe, he's so excited!! too adorable!!!
Great job! The garage is really coming together, but my heart was in my throat watching you on the scaffold without rails. Please be careful! You guys are great and I'd hate to see anyone get hurt.
Great job you three! Jordan I know the feeling every job I do I notice all the imperfections while the boss loves whatever I do. That’s the burden and joy of DYI and you three are Professionals so I guess the same applys to you three.
I like the window trim matched to the window color.
Looks really great, guys. Super clean look. Love that paint sprayer.
This series is one of my favorite on YT and one I look forward to most to each week. Keep it up.
I’ve been following you guys for years and I got so happy to see you guys painting the outside! Keep up the great work!
600k subs!! Just last week it was 250k. Quality product from the nicest folks on YT!
Fantastic job guys, looks amazing! looking forward to see what you all do for the bottom area!
Man I love watching the build, very much appreciate the series!
Happy to see the paint is finally on! Star of the episode is Jordan's shirt! Loving the love for H Town!
All these videos with scaffolding and this was the most nervous I've been for you guys. Be careful! House looks amazing!! Great work! Great choice with the black windows, too. Really pops!
Wow! That white really pops!! Looking fantastic!!
Great job guys and it looks fantastic. My only concern, like a lot of comments, is the scaffolding. Once false move at that height and there is no coming back. Safety first Guys 👍
Congrats on 600,000 subscribers!
Looks great guys!!
Great Job!! Looks awesome!!
funny how you guys do it so different over the pond , being a painter myself i use both hands in certain situations when i have to use the right hand ,then change over tomy left and how we cut to the edge of the wood ,including how we do by the windows without getting paint on them .
Such a joy watching others do it so differently no matter the job gets done no matter how differently we all do it.
you calking or painting with sealant , there is a easier way you cut the top of the nozzle at a 45 degree angle to give you a perfect line without smoothing it out with your finger no matter which way you do it .
Just a tip about syringes. I do this for my fountain pens. If you hold the tip down into the paint / ink, and pull the piston back, you will inevitably have air in the syringe. Prime it with that paint / ink then pull it out, point it tip up at the sky, the paint / ink will settle against the piston head, and then compress the syringe to get all the air out until you start spewing paint / ink. You've now bled the syringe. Put it back into the paint / ink, and retract the piston to fill the syringe.
Vast majority of medical and scientific professionals agree with this message.
I love when paint goes on after a long project. You get to really admire the hard work and detail that went into building it. The garage mahal looks fantastic. The blue is really going to pop. Great work guys
FREAKING AWSOME!!!! LOVE the window trim!!!!
very happy for you guys. love to see the progress and cant wait for the interior. keep it up.
It looks amazing...kudos for your team and for sharing this incredible experience. We all learn in the process!!
that scaffolding was an impulse buy, and it made everything you’ve done way easier.
Five years on that paint sprayer? Man, I remember watching that video when you got it. Wild how time goes by.
Just got my stud pack shirt and hat in, figured it was time to pay up for all the knowledge I've gained from you guys. Thanks Stud Pack!
You guys seriously need to be safer on that scaffolding and get more planks and railing. We’d be lost without our uploads of Paul and Rad!
Another great video,thanks guys!
Congratulations Jordan and the Stud Pak Team! I got goosebumps when you started painting and how beautiful it turned out. I love the matching black trim, Awesome job! We appreciate you always taking us along on your journey and showing us tips, tricks and products. Is there any SUV block built into the paint for sun exposure? Have an awesome day! 🥰🥰
Looks great. No pros needed because you guys are the pros to.
As a pro painter who does a lot of residential repaints, that’s exact colour caulking is a GOD send on so many jobs 😊
Checked 10 mins ago for a new video nothing but now it's here loving the series fantastic work looks amazing:)
Wow….. looks beautiful. You guys are so blessed…. Jordan you have a great talent to looking a the big picture. You and your dad are the Dynamic duo
It's a trip how I remember when you bought that machine.
Your videos taught me about spraying!!
loved 😂 the real son/father convo whilst painting the side of the garage! Jordan repeating himself...sounds v familiar and very authentic! ❤❤😂😂 laughed so hard at that! looks great guys
those $6-7 "eBay" wrenches are $1-2 harbor freight wrenches lmao
The weak link in Sherwin Williams exterior paint is the pigments used for tinting. You can go into ANY residential neighborhood and pick out a SW coated house. Extreme fading
SW states you can expect 50% color fade in year 1. They state a lifetime of their coating is 8 years on average. That’s what your lifetime coating is rated.
Now, you can also discover Benjamin Moore uses acrylic pigments that do not fade nearly as bad. I’ve done thousands of homes and can tell you Regal High Build will outperform Emerald and Duration for both new and residential repaint.
Save your money.
Best fake benji moore bot comment ive seen. Spew that piss, spew!
I love duration. Great paint. We use regal and Ben a lot more though.i agree.
Your assumption is incorrect. I have applied thousands, hundreds of thousands of gallons actually in my 38 years in the coatings industry. As both class 1 and Class 2 coatings, that would be commercial and automotive to those outside the industry.
If you understand planned obsolescence then you can understand what I stated in the first statement....... the weak link is in the pigments. They know it will fade, expect it to fade by 50% in year 1.
Yes, I know all about SWs R&D. I was involved with Chemical Coatings division as I aided in the development of Gem Lac in the 80’s and currently an independent coatings consultant
MORE SCAFFOLDING, MORE RAILS AND SOME SAFETY LEASH. WE LOVE YOU GUYS AND WE DON’T WANT ANYONE TO FALL ❤
Awesome work guys. What a nice transition; love the colure choice.
The Black around the windows was a great idea. Makes the windows look bigger. So clean and crisp with the paper white. I am loving it.
Looking great guys! I will say, when I built a shed from scratch a few years back, I didn't like a couple angles on some cuts and figured I'd come back with some caulk to cover it 12' in the air... and my father-in-law said, "Nobody will notice that but you." It's the burden of knowledge! But I realized years later that I didn't caulk it... and even looking for it now, I don't see it hardly at all. Perfectionism is the enemy of progress. It's good to be thorough and do things right, but even the things that "nobody will notice but you" fade over time. Enjoy your creation, take pride in your work, and give yourself some slack. ;-)
I think it’s going amazingly well since you’re doing it all yourselves. Sure a pro painter could do it a little better but not enough difference that your job won’t last just as long. I have been in the improvement/remodeling business since 1976 and think you three should be admired for this venture. I learned every day in my 47 year career as the tools of the trade, techniques and the materials evolved at the same time. GO STUD PACK!
I love the graco sprayers...easy to use and good quality...The music was much much better, i really like it...not too crazy just perfect...thank you!
Yooooo that line from the drop edge is perfection👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 Good call on soft white than bright white. And for the haters it’s not a black and white house, it’s an exotic navy/grey and warm white house ☝🏼😌.
Side note. I have the same X7 and that bag is a good idea for all my tools.
When painting,you guys do just fine doing it your way. I’ve seen you do it several times and I even use your techniques and tips. Place is looking great!
Looking good. Just curious if any paint in the air got on to the neighbors house and windows. I have seen it happen. Please get railing for your scaffolding. Watching Paul standing on the edge at the very top was scary. It’s not worth risking your life at that height. Get the safety railing NOW. Do not wait until you build the house. Looking forward to more videos.
Love the channel. Love the project. Keep up the energy
That looks excellent! Always enjoy your videos you guys are good dudes!
Loving the colors 🎉❤🎉 Keep being awesome 😎
That top tier of the scaffolding painting the soffit was sketchy AF. I have worked on walkboards up high like that on a job but I don't ever want to do it again. I like the idea with the bag on the sprayer, I hung 2 adjustable wrenched with carabiners on my spray rig handle. The house is looking great, you guys are killin it.
Stud Pack: I think the color is great! As I’ve said in other video comments, I enjoy watching your videos and always anticipate the next one! As a homeowner and BIG FAN of DIY projects, I’m always learning new techniques from your channel! Keep up the good work!
Respectfully,

Great work. Line the metal shield with 9" paper. When saturated replace it.
I can’t believe it’s been one year. I remember you digging the footings. They get flooded and the inspector walking away. What a journey for one year.
Congrats Guy's, on getting the paint/second coat-on half of the garage/apartment.. looks great.
Tell me you guys aren't nervous standing on that narrow plank up there with no tethers. There's a good reason for that! Please be safer. You guys are role models.
It's looking fantastic guys, great job!
You live and learn,but please safety is always 1# priority! The paint job came out great despite on some hiccups but that’s part of the game,no one is perfect and things can be fixed again. I’d rather wake up in the morning and go to bed with some paint mistakes or any type of mistakes, but to get up the next morning and to go to bed safe and healthy is key priority. Love the videos and stud pack gang!
OMG I can't watch! 😂😂 I hate heights and those shots of you guys wrestling that plastic sheeting, Jordan spraying, up on that scaffolding.... 🫣🫣😱
