Man. Everyone needs a friend like Joe. I know he is your "employee" but the dude always seems to have your back Paul. Whether you pay him or not, he is a real one.
As a professional painter of over 30 years I don't use any tape at all. As the saying goes "Anyone can paint but not everyone is a painter" but you both did a top notch job. Congrats on the new office! Looks great!
Due to the difference in color between halves of the back wall I was convinced the darker half was like 4 inches recessed further back until Paul ran over it with the paint roller.
Dang Jeff... quit watching youtube and get on top of more Pi videos!!!! jk :P Actually the PetaPi was enough of a project to keep you stacked up on video cred for quite a while!!! lol :D
@@Nobe_Oddy hahaha I'm just kidding man. I have nothing but respect for anyone who contributes to the spirit of learning and i hope he makes alot of money off it.
I love that Jeff and I watch the same RUclipsrs. @JeffGeerling is one of the best developer tubers out there so I feel better when our tastes match up! Lol
Advice, on painting. Do not roll straight, you go at various angles to get better coverage in 1 pass. Going up and down will end up very streaky, and you will see it under lights. You can get good coverage when you basically make a 'cluster star' from all the angles in a single pass with some touch up.
So excited!! Congratulations on the new office. Been watching since Newegg yolk'd days and this brings me so much joy. Thanks for vlogging all this, please do more vlogs on how it is taking shape! Crazy how much you've already transformed the space.
Have you guys heard of screw drivers and painters tape (blue), you can take the outlet plates and such off and tape off the black trim border at the floor. Saves a lot of time and the tape isn't expensive. Other than that, good job.
Amazing what a paint job can do. This is such a great move, to your own office, work/life balance & other benefits (A/C / cooler) - looking forward to the Joe/Paul antics in here. Onwards!
Paul, I've been watching your channel since you started it. I have to commend you on this video for a few reasons. First, it's great to see you starting to grow to the point of needed office space. Second, you produce some of the best tech videos on RUclips and the internet. I'm so glad that you chose to do this because I feel often like I have someone who really cares about us smaller-time consumers on the internet. Finally, I love your videos, especially the light bossa nova music and the general atmosphere. You're a laid back guy and it shows through in the videos. Thanks for posting this great moving documentary!
@@StephenCole1916 that’s because he was way too lazy to even paint his own house 🤣🤣🤣🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️even though in every intel upgrade video he praises his painting “skills” 🤣🤣🤣🖕lienus
Replacing the switches, switch plates, and outlets with white makes a huge difference and only costs a few bucks. Highly recommend doing that if you're allowed to do that yourself.
You could carpet tile over that existing carpet. It has the advantage of being replacable if you buy extra tiles and any of them get stained. I'd go with a medium gray, it always looks cleaner than light or dark gray. It can also be cheap if you can find a big enough lot of discontinued tiles.
A great start and great work. BTW when pouring from a drum or large container, pour so the hole from which you pour - get a spout! - is at the top. It smooths the flow and aids control. That paint does look as if it will benefit from a second coat. My OCD is kicking in and I think you should repaint the entrance hall, if only for visitors and to cover up anything embedded in the old paint. Plus the old paint looks dreadful.
You need some furniture dollies and door stops for moving stuff in an office building. You will use while tweaking the positions of everything. And you can set your builds on and roll around Good luck with the space
Rollers are economical, but if you want to knock out some walls in record time s paint gun is by far the best option. The secret is really finding the right mix of thinner to paint for that particular paint gun.
That wavy spot is where someone had a rolling chair and not a protective pad, they also seemed to spill a lot from the edge of the desk in the same area.
my suggestion is to move the storage to the middle room, it will needots of space and you don't want that on the entrance way. that could be a chill area with a couch,fridge and tv. then storage and editing desk, and then the big room with the studio and workbench. if you don't need a switch, just drywall it instead of painting on top.
If you ever want to paint a wall chroma key green for streaming or video use, try Gamma Green from Lowes instead of spending $60-$100/gallon for Chroma Key green. I used Gamma Green in the past and it works great as a lower budget chroma key green alternative.
Congrats on the new office Paul. I find a physical separation between work and home good for mental health. Looking forward to seeing how you utilize the space!
That room is big enough you could eventually have a build area on one end and a tech news area on the other. Just a thought that could save setup times. If you went with your back to the big wall they could be side by side so you could move between them if needed. Just a few ideas.
Before you fill the office, I really would wash the carpets with a deep carpet cleaner, it will also help lighten the room, as I am sure there is years of bedded in grime. It also will make the place smell new!
Nice job, but the gold switch plates need to go. Also, find a couple white on white can trims for the two lights. Suggestions for your friendly electrician.
I had the same experience looking at a similar grey at Lowe's. Once I got the room painted I noticed a blue as well which I don't care for. I was done spending money and time painting though - so it stays!
Love the evolution of this. Watching you for 6/7+ years, it's so good to see you finally hit the stage where you need an office. Can't wait to see what comes of it!
PRO TIP...dampen roller before use...every 10 mins quickly dunk roller in and out of water bucket. this will keep roller from drying out. if you are in damp or cold climate, not necessary.
Amazing that you finally have your own office. But take this advice from a professional painter for next time. Take the whole lid off the bucket to pour the paint, that small whole is not meant for pouring paint but for adding the coloring to the base white paint. And keep your roller much more wet when rolling to get an even coat of paint so you're not dry rolling, but not too much so your roller isn't sliding with paint on the wall. Hope that helps. Have fun!
Protip for paint rollers: The arm and elbow part of the roller should be on the side that you are painting towards. So @ 9:06 you had the arm on the right side so you are set up to paint from left to right. If you want to go right to left just flip the roller so that the arm is on the left side
honestly going to miss you shooting in your garage, you've been in there for as long as I've been watching you (about 6 years). Its a nice cozy place but I do congratulate you on getting a dedicated work space for making RUclips content, and I'm very excited to see the next uploads of you moving all your stuff in haha. Hope your doing great, thankyou for everything that you've done for me and everyone else
With the new color on the walls, the rooms look brighter and bigger. And yeah, you really should get a rug - it'd... uh... really tie the room together.
Let see the bright side, you'll be getting some painting experience. Also a apair of shoes would be ideal for working, they may not save you from pain, but they could help protect your feet way better than those flip-flops or sandals, or whatever the name is in english.
Great Job with the Office cleanup. Those carpets look like 16" squares that are completely replaceable. Just pull out the stained area and plop down the new carpets and "voila" fixed.
congrats on the new space. i would really drop some laminat or vinyl flooring in there because i hate the carpet but the good thing is one can drop it right on the carpet with the click system flooring and means it stays nice and quiet. Did the same thing for our daughters room and only thing i had to do was cut a bit off the bottom of the door because of the new floor height. night and day difference. also i would recommend 3500K bulbs for the place. it's not too white and not too yellow, i find it to be the perfect color tone to work in.
Congrats , paul! it is nice to see you doing well enough to move out of the garage set up but man, its gonna be strange seeing you in a new set up for a minute. the probings may require a lubricant.
Grats on the new space. Its always daunting when you need to get stuff done before you can move in, but man the results are so satisfying when done. Looking forward to the finished setup.
that carpet patch there that's worn and wavy/unglued from the floor that's what happens with years and years (decades, sometimes) of office chairs on an office carpet the carpet progressively wears and grows loose and catches on the wheels and wears faster and faster until what you see
congratulation on the new space, it looks perfect, specially after the painting job you did. just one thing about that spot on the carpet, if it is heated floor, it is better to check if there is any borken pipes or anything like that because it looks like if there some liquide under the carpet
Even when you tried to show us Online. I completely zoomed in on and would not give up focus on Lazy Gray. I just could tell you would have to decide on that.
I'm glad Paul is moving towards progress in growing the channel.. looking forward with all the new content and possibilities with what this move brings..
Pull off all the face plates/outlet and switch covers when you paint. Also, those are very old and yellow. They are very inexpensive at an electric supply store or Home Depot. They come in bright white which would look better.
Nice upgrade , Paul ... have an idea for you. Just a suggestion but, mount a large inexpensive tv behind your chair , where you record tech news etc . You can then put background images on it for your videos and change it up when you want instead of just a plain wall behind you.
I love Jimmy Johns, very rare here on the coast of Mississippi. My step-uncle's industrial bakery made the cookies for them in the Illinois tri-state area. Apparently he also went to college with him. Since I'm originally from Chicago, where there are ample Jimmy Johns. Now I have to drive 30 minutes to get to one in MOBILE, AL with like a 10% sales tax.
And with an office comes interesting content as you figure out things like s small storage server and a SOHO network set up etc etc etc. Looking forward to it!
I'm pretty sure the marks on the carpet are just where an office chair and desk were. Office chair wheels mangle up carpet something chronic over time.
Nice space Paul. Sound panels and fabric curtains over the windows in the shooting area, would help with the audio (you already know that I expect). What that drop ceiling might allow you to do though, is some ceiling mounted sound material or even just some sheets (with the hooks you have) to reduce sound reflection from the room. Certainly something to test out and work on as you guys move in and get settled. Looking forward to a few more moving vlogs related to this new space. You rock!
Venetian plaster, when done right, is gorgeous. Hard to tell what yours looks like in person, but I wouldnt hate on it. Its warmth and timeless class contrasts well with the cold technical clean cut grey imho. Looking good boss!
I’m looking forward to the first Sunday tech news from the office, whether it’s tomorrow or not! It looks like the move is going well, Paul and Joe. You’ve got this!
Paul's moving up in the world......or sideways. Paul's moving! Great new space. The grey color really livens it up. All you're missing is an aquarium in the pass thru window. Congrats on the move. Can't wait for Tech News Next Generation: The Search for More Space.
Hey Paul, I've been watching your videos since the Newegg days, and I just wanted to say it's really awesome to see how far you've come.

Same
Ditto. The lack of trim on one side really threw me.
Congrats Paul!! So excited to see the whole setup! XD

Acoustic panels
Swap out dirty tan outlets for clean white/black

That colour is very nice and the paint quality is indeed amazing! I recommend changing the light bulbs to LED. Amazing help from Joe indeed!

top to bottom strokes with the roller. lots of paint and work it across the wall watching for lines
Sherwin Williams Employee here yeah Duration is our 2nd to best product, most homeowners use it.
Replacing the switches, switch plates, and outlets with white makes a huge difference and only costs a few bucks. Highly recommend doing that if you're allowed to do that yourself.
When buying paint you get what you pay for and Sherwin Williams have always been my go to paint.
You could carpet tile over that existing carpet. It has the advantage of being replacable if you buy extra tiles and any of them get stained. I'd go with a medium gray, it always looks cleaner than light or dark gray. It can also be cheap if you can find a big enough lot of discontinued tiles.
The lazy grey / blue looks pretty good, makes the rooms much brighter from the window light. Congrats on yalls new office.

Paul, I'm surprised you didn't subcontract out the painting. I hear Linus Sebastian not only paints houses, he'll help upgrade your setup as well. ;)
Congrats on the new office! I heard Linus does a great job painting straight lines maybe give him a call.
He didn't mention if it was eggshell finish
Just don't let him jump on the bed...
Linus could drop in
That time it was Dennis, through the ceiling.
you can get custom logo print rugs from various shops, so your thumbscrew icon on a rug would be cool and if you move, take it with you.
Rollers are economical, but if you want to knock out some walls in record time s paint gun is by far the best option.
The secret is really finding the right mix of thinner to paint for that particular paint gun.
Paul's Pad, love it!
Really love seeing small renovation/move-in stuff like this, behind the scenes work. Sometimes watching paint dry is fun
That wavy spot is where someone had a rolling chair and not a protective pad, they also seemed to spill a lot from the edge of the desk in the same area.
my suggestion is to move the storage to the middle room, it will needots of space and you don't want that on the entrance way. that could be a chill area with a couch,fridge and tv. then storage and editing desk, and then the big room with the studio and workbench.

Enjoying witnessing your (well deserved) professional success and evident happiness in seeing this space come together. Cheers Paul!
i was skeptical about the color at first but it turned out completely awesome. those mounts for the ceiling are so cool!!!!
Mad props to the Etnies. Glad people are still rocking them in 2022

That color brightened up the rooms, which will reflect existing light. The original color just absorbed the light, good color choice.
Wow, amazing how much more bright and pleasant looking lazy grey is compared to Venetian Salmon...
Love the evolution of this. Watching you for 6/7+ years, it's so good to see you finally hit the stage where you need an office. Can't wait to see what comes of it!
Very nice choice of color for the new office. It should provide a very good back drop for recording. Congratulations on your move in.

Hats off to Joe! I'm sure you did your share too when you weren't behind the camera. The paint made a huge difference.
