Hey Gang! We were super prepared to fly through these exhaust and intake installations, but a quick mistake turned the easy job into a MUCH longer trip and multiple trips to the store. It happens!

1st hole: carefully checks clearance on the other side.
2nd hole: YOLO!
Overconfidence will ruin the best of us :)
perfect example of slow is smooth and smooth is fast.
…. 😅😅
We have all been there for sure.
Use the drill for the siding, and then switch to a butter knife to punch the hole in the foam. You will feel the obstruction and correct before you damage the wire.
"Easy 5 Minute Job Turned into a 5 Hour Job" describes almost every one of my home improvements🤣
Second generation painter here, your tip is too big on your spray gun and your pressure is to high.
Get a 515 tip . The first “5” is half of the size of what the spray pattern should be at the right pressure and distance from the painting surface, 10 inches. The second number is the orifice size of the tip.
You’ll have a lot less overspray and less waist of product.
20:45 that trick with the two hole saws on one mandrel was brilliant
It is an awesome trick, but an old one. I figured it out for my self 30 years ago when I was specializing on door installation. Occasionally, the existing deadbolt bore would be 1 1/2 inches, but the new set required a 2 1/8 inch bore. So, necessity being the mother of invention, the idea just popped in my head. With some of those doors being as high as $5000, no room for error.
@@dallasarnold8615 Nice! Thanks for sharing!
Wish I had known that trick a couple of years ago.
@@beckycrump8831 the key factor is you have to have the right kind of mandrel. Some of them do not have the threads available. Check yours before counting on using this trick.
Pro Tip: Do yourself a favor and put some critter screen/mesh behind those louvers on the vents. I can't tell you how many homes I've seen birds blocking the ducts with nests... Sparrows can fly up to them and lift the louvers and go in/out at will. I removed a full 5 gallon bucket of nests from 2 ducts last summer. Finally put some stainless wire grid behind the plastic louvers and problem solved (make sure your louvers still move freely). Not the play for a dryer vent due to lint buildup, but there are other styles of lint traps for those that keep birds out. I've removed birds from dryer blower motors and multiple from bathroom vent exhausts... Just not worth the adventure when it can be prevented by a screen. I feel bad for my neighbors when I see the birds making homes in their vents now, but hey, at least mine is finally clear.
I think the first one had it, but 2nd and third one didn't.
Not to mention those 2 inch long tree roaches we have here in south Texas. They can get in damn near everywhere.
@@mickisix9092 👀👀
Gotta love those Texas critters. We got everything. Like they say everything is bigger in Texas. @mickisix9092
Had to put mesh on my dryer vent because of the birds. Go up and clean it up once a month.
I would recommend adding screens to the louvered vents to keep birds and Mud daubers from moving in. 👍
I second this! We have two layers of hardware cloth on our attic vents and birds have pecked through the first layer. Our neighbors have a multi-generational wren condo in their attic 🤣
That’s the life of construction. No problems just “situations”. Way to adapt
😂
I actually prefer the non-painted edge, matching the body siding color.
Thanks for showing the mishap with the wire… comforting to know even the pros make mistakes and have bad days.
Great idea nesting the hole saws to use the smaller one as a guide. I am definitely going to remember that trick. Making a small hole bigger has happened more than once for me.
Personally I liked the clean edge on the window trim painting the sides just adds a bit of dimension and more work.
I agree. Not only is it more work but it accentuates the zigzag nature of the siding. I'm not fond of that look.
But it's your house (garage), do it the way YOU like.
Usually when we paint the sides of the trim stay The body color. And we use a little weenie roller for the trim
Ditto! Tho' it's just my personal preference.
I agree I liked it the paper white best but it’s their garage.
My guess is that it is some folk's assumption of more work/cost = better regardless of the outcome. I'm good either way but I don't think it looks better, just different.
Great example of the power of humility and humour. Paul. You are class.
He’s a classic for sure
What I always worry about is when he is too old to do anything. Is Jordan going to continue the channel.or just let it die since now you has a new house.
@@poeticsilence047 Paul's retirement home!
"Bone Head Move" are one of the many reasons I like this channel. Everyone makes mistakes including the pros. A lot of channels by pros don't always show you the mistakes they make. Keep on keeping on.
Everybody makes mistakes. Pros can recover from them and nobody is the wiser unless they tell them.
As a retired professional painter I think doing the sides edges in your trim colour is entirely up to you and what you like the look of better.
I never did them in trim colour for several reasons but if you like the look that's all that matters. Place looks awesome!
2 things: that painted edge is 🔥 and Paul talking through those 4” vent holes was hilarious. Looking good guys!
My take on the trim painting is that painting The edge with your detail? Brush is time consuming and the end result looks more like sawtooth than anything else. It just looks wonky. I have always just painted the face and it looks fine. In the odd areas where you can see the entire edge of a piece of trim, I see no reason to not paint the edge, but the sawtooth is a no-go for me. Great work you guys!

Hey remember to razor blade those louvers on the vents so they open. Don't just grab it and open the louvers or the paint will strip completely of the plastic.
Good call. These are the things I never think of until it's too late.
I would have considered leaving it white
Nice appearance by Rad for the ladies. Painting the sides of those window trim boards looks much better, but is extra work. That’s why I figured you opted not to.
All of those louvers look like exhaust. Isn’t on of them an intake?
I will say from experience the louvers are crap. Never open correctly over time. Swapped out for a full flap with anti-bug grid and a cover.
Pop will alway have work. He’s a pretty professional spokesperson.
I disagree on the trim around the windows.... We did that the first time we painted our home.... second time we just did the face of the trim... had a ton of positive comments... we just took our time doing the front face to get a near perfect line on the outside corner... looks crisp/sharp, as opposed to trying to get a crisp line on the zigzag with a corner that has been caulked... each to his own... your house, your call...
All personal preference but I suspect comments about painting the sides are more "it takes more time/effort/cost more therefor it must be held in higher regard". Either looks fine to me.
@@curtisbmeI like the bit of depth that it adds to the overall look. The unpainted is a very clean look, but it's a bit sterile imo. Painted just has a bit more character.
I have a hard time trusting anyone who does not know how to use ellipsis correctly or refuses to end a sentence with a period. Something just seems... off about them.
Personally I like the nice straight transition line on the black trim rather than cutting in the zigzag around the siding. Just more visual noise that is hard to make perfect. Just my opinion. Love the video guys. Look forward to it every week!
totally agree. The crisp line is impossible if you paint the edges and caulk. if you just paint the face, you get a nice crisp line.
I was a painter for 42 years, and spent most of my time on high end commercial interiors, but every once in awhile I did a bit of industrial and exterior work. As far as spraying your exterior is concerned, I agree with the painters who told you that you're better off brushing and rolling it because doing so allows you to work the material into the Hardy Board, and gives you a much better bond.
I spray the first coat then roll and brush second coat
When painting exteriors, I've had great success spraying THEN rolling while the paint is still wet. You get fast application with the sprayer (no paint tray needed) and great adhesion. Yes, it's slower than just spraying, but much faster than rolling. It's the best of both.
When I did the job, I would follow the dude with the sprayer and brush/roll in the paint.
That is a good way to do it. I paint interior 6 panel doors similarly - roll on plenty of paint so I can brush it out.@@petecomps7260
@@ericschroeder3939 It's the first coat where you really need the bond the most.
Really appreciate you showing when things don't go according to plan.
I don't know what you guys are like off camera, but I marvel at your persistent positivity on camera.
On my own projects now, I sometimes repeat Paul's motivational "Let's get it done."
Great idea matching up the original hole saw with the larger one to keep it centered in the original hole.
Hello Stud Pack! I'm a retired HVAC installer. When installing panduit straps on flex duct. Purchase a panduit strap gun. It will get your straps much tighter than you can do by hand and cut the excess off at the same time.
Also need to seal those adjustable elbow seams.
@@cerryl1337I thought that was a fresh air intake.
Thumbs up on the painted trim on the windows. It's a much cleaner look...very professional!
Lmao looking at Paul struggle getting out of there. My pop would of been like hey boy get up thats why I made you, so I dont have to get in those spots! lmao Awesome job guys
40 year painter here, when spraying any lap siding, angle spray "up" so the bottom lip gets a nice coat. when rain hits siding, droplets hang onto bottom lip for hours and will soak into siding material if not painted. Appreciate you guys posting
You guys are awesome. I like how you guys caused a situation then addressed it immediately then kept going with the initial job. "Rad loves the flavorless one cause it reminds him of the ocean water. "Ha ha. The garage looks great.
I been a painter for 15 years and my Pro tip for the edge on the windows tape and apply a thin line of caulk or use yellow frog tape to get crisper lines and is a faster way , and to spray i recommend to lower your pressure and use a smaller tip for less overspray and material waste, is looking great guys
I see you finally did something about that fall protection everyone was yelling at you for in the last video. Nice!
noticed that too. thx stud pack.
Painting the trim around the windows really brought out the character of windows. Great suggestion.
Was worried Paul might be stuck up there forever. Thanks for the reupload!
Step aside Russian nesting dolls. Nesting hole saws just came to town. I love that trick. I would have overcomplicated it by holesawing a template board, nailing the board onto the house, and using the template as a guide to keep it from wobbling or migrating. Your way is quicker and doesn't put extra nail holes into your siding.
Prefer unpainted window casing, nice sharp edge, to each his own. Super trick with the two hole saws, that idea is genius. Paul, your demeanor is admirable, always up and ready to tackle any issue. Thanks for sharing your successes and mishaps, hopefully we learn from our mistakes and seeing you guys helps the rest of us !
Order of operations, paint window and door trim before installing siding. 😊
Jordan, you are one lucky Son, your Dad is amazing!!!! Look after him.....
Jordan- "The hard part would be getting in the attic space"
Paul-" who gets to do that?"😂
Paul 10 min later😂😂😂😂😂😂
Can't believe that Jordan didn't take the lead on this one! Jeez!
Hey hey hey, I asked if he wanted me up there but he really enjoys doing it AND the video would then. need artificial stability tech that’s not available yet.. 🤣
@@StudPack
Just messing with ya, Kiddo! 🤣
Beautiful build so far!
@StudPack You are playing to each others strengths. 8-)
@@StudPackHe can set up a mini-tripod for the attic work.
Have you guys given any thought about making a storm shelter. Love the way you work together so well. I've been enjoying your videos from the beginning. I've seen every one and always manage to pick up a trick or two. Thanks stud pack. Keep up the awesome work 👏
That's a sharp hole saw 💯
I love the painted edges, totally a fan.
The filiming through the holes is great!
You learn something new everyday. That double hole saw trick was 🔥. Thanks guys!
@officialStudpackf I'm here for it. Lafayette, LA in the house 🏠. Lol
On the main house build, paint the trim with one coat before installation, especially the casing head where it meets window. It'll save you a lot of time and will look much more finished.
That would be a huge help, I agree.
Cherish this time with your Dad...mine would buy lots and we spent weekends and vacations hand digging the foundation, clearing the trees and brush...my brother and I never realized how great this experience was until we were much older...the big day was when he had saved enough money to have power connected to lot...early 1960s so ask Dad what tools we had back then...he taught us how to be men. TAKE Care!
Well done on those window edges! It just looks more professional, as opposed to just leaving it white. Those little details are truly what makes the difference. Professional StudPack quality versus, "Meh, good enough."
Thank you all for the high quality content! I'm happy to say I've learned so much from your successes as well as the mistakes and fixes. It is a true professional that can make a mistake, call an audible, and still come out on top!
That hole saw stacking trick is mind blowing!
Well Done Guyz! I paint the trim boards before they go on. Then the siding gets the caulking put in with a water bucket and damp sponge. The caulking will clean right off the painted trim boards nice and neat.
I like the edge painted more, but I personally would have just left it to spare the extra effort. Looks great!
If you want to paint the edges of your window casing then you should paint the trim before you paint the siding. That way you can overlap the trim paint onto the siding and then cut in with the siding paint. It’s a lot easier to cut in the siding paint to cover the trip overlap than it is to use the cute little pointed brush to paint the edge of the trim board
Hey, I put an ERV into my house where I was suffering with allergies. I built a little box which fit a Filtrete F1 size HEPA filter, couple 4" duct connectors, a hinged top with some clasps to be able to change the filter out. Made a big difference. I know the panasonic comes with a merv 13 filter, but they are more expensive to change and don't filter as well as a true HEPA.
I used to paint houses for a bit...spraying the faiscia, we would tape and run paper over the roof, then put some long canvas covers over the edge of the roof. And the side of the trim was always painted the body color, doing all those details absolutely kills productivity, makes for a ton of touch up work, and doesn't really improve the appearance from my experience.
All that said, glad you're getting what you want, keep going strong!
Same here, edges never get painted trim color. Just the face.
Agree, side of trim should be same as house.
21:52 It’s very cool that you show your screw ups and how you fix them. Love the camera work on this.
i almost made a comment in the last video about the paint for the trim but i thought "everyone has an opinion, it's not mine, so maybe it's against theirs". but i see you did it anyway and whlie i can see how both can work.... doing the side of the trim definitely adds some depth to not only the building in general, but also the paint. it's kinda a weird stairway effect, but it's still cool either way.
As somebody who grew up helping my mom paint brush and roll all the way baby. Sure you can spray and I'm sure there's situations where that would work out better but all the things I've ever painted brushing and rolling it did a good job. Yeah that little edge detail around the windows definitely makes it stand out, more work but it stands out.
You're also gonna get more coverage on your paint because more of it's going on your wall and you'll have a better first and second coat because more if it's going on the wall thicker. Plus then you don't have to clean the machine out. I also wouldn't recommend a system where you have to mix water in with the paint go with the one that can do the full straight on paint much better. And when you're done with your roller get a little tool to squeeze the paint out of it so you can put it right back in your can makes cleaning it easier and keeps a lot of that paint.
Agree. I just think that roller and brush does a much better job, and you don't have all the prep/taping, and all the unnecessary clean up afterwards. And did anyone else notice how much white paint is now all over the scaffolding? The spray gun might work better indoors or on another outdoor project, but for working high in the air, especially on windy days, you just can't beat the old school way of painting with a brush and roller. That is just my opinion, but I believe in it for so many reasons, and have so for so many years, and on so many jobs.
@@mikequartucci9700 Oh yeah totally saw that brand new scaffolding is covered with paint. The overspray can be terrible. I think the only place where spraying works well is complex objects and shapes. The only thing with rolling you have to worry about is dripping and the occasional spray from rolling too fast and occasional drip, spraying goes everywhere!
Loving this series! Keep up the good work!
Looking great so far and I am learning alot! Keep up the great work and thanks for detailing your mess ups, that's where I learn the most!
Thank goodness you spray insulated!!!! Can you imagine rolling around in fiberglass?
@@wojtek-33 I'm afraid I do. I, along with a few others, am just finishing the rescue of a very tired house that looked much better than it was, requiring a lot of unbudgeted structural, wiring, and plumbing work. The spray foam we wanted cost $12,000 MORE than the bats we put on the walls today. Sometimes the bean counters win.
The little details make the whole so much better, well done! Keep it up!
Painted edge looks much better - attention to detail has its rewards.
I think I'll agree that the painted edge looks the best. But it's not crystal clear. Jordan you got the hang of the spray painter. Nice
love the painted edge.
Great Job Guy's, the garage/apartment is looking better every video.. spring is almost here..
Always enjoy the content guys all the way Down Under! Look forward to seeing more!
Nice work, wow, looking so good! So nice getting all the boo-boo’s learned on the garage. So the house is really dialed in!!
Y'all are rockin it!!!
Thank you Thank you Thank you ! Lost track of how many times I THINK a job is going to take an hour, and it ends up taking 5 hours ! Appreciate your honesty ! 🙂
This is exactly why I watch this channel! It's not often but does happen, you are right in the middle of what happens to many people. Stop, buy and go! I used a synthetic sponge in the end of the vent to keep bugs out.😊
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! You have made me feel much better about all my jobs. If something can go wrong, it will. You guys are great.
Looking good can’t wait to see the bottom painted
Use 4-11 reversible tip for the fascia and soffit. Turn your pressure down and take your time. The higher your pressure the more paint you waste. Trust me.
Holes are hard to do. Sometimes I have to dig 6 or 7 holes in the ground before I get one that is deep enough.
Love the color you guys picked out looks great !!!
Over 4K views when I clicked on this at around 16mins or so, I know it was a re-upload, but holy cats us Studpackers are haunting this channel!! 🤣🤩
Love the hole saw build up idea, I'm going to use that one for sure. Come along nicely boys!
I liked the unpainted window edge better than the black sides
I would have put the receptacle in the first junction box and bought a 12” extension cord to make it reach, because it’s my house and that’s good enough lol
It’s always best practice to spray and back roll the first layer of paint on new material to ensure the best bond. Once you’ve got a strong bond it’s ok to just spray after.
I would have just faced them off the way you had it. But living in Florida with so many stucco homes I'm used to seeing the trim that way.
Your home your way. Great job guys can't wait to see the finished look
Painted edge looks great!!
So disheartening when things like that happen, but glad it wasnt too hard to fix in this case! Love the content and all the info. Nice to see that everyone makes mistakes, its how you fix them that makes the difference!
Smart call on taking the time and painting the sides of the trim.
Nice job! I’m a fan of the painted edge. Gives the trim the heft and dimension it deserves and shows it’s solid. Looks great!
Love the painted edge of the window! But, why is the oldest guy in the group the one cramped up in the small attic when there are two young and healthy guys on the crew? Love the background music on all your videos. The camera definitely loves Paul.
😂😂😂😂 this was just a comedy skit. You had my family giggling the whole time, they definitely saw me struggle like this before. Loved it.
My mom even said at least he is showing everything and not hiding the mistakes.
Stud Pack, you have to get yourself a zip tie tensioning tool. You believe that you can do it by hand but once you put this tool on it, it really makes a huge difference. Use the Malco TY4 basic model and does everything you need. Having the right tools makes all the difference, you know that!
I like the painted edge on the window trim. I think it looks finished now. Just my opinion.
Gee whiz you guys are bringing it. Every minute of this video was spot on. Even the music was great. You guys are getting extremely good at this! Where is the Emmy for RUclips videos?
Looking good. You guys are doing a great job. As far as painting the side of the window trim I believe it’s called wrapping or French cut. It definitely looks better. In some areas that is an extra cost when getting a home painted.
Just what I was hoping for! Another StudPack video!!
Mentioned this on the Roger Wakefield stream, but y'all gotta play a few destructive rounds of paintball in the old house before demo!
The edge detail is class.
Dedicated craftsmanship on that little vent. I'm glad you painted the side of the trim. Looks great. When we had our repainted, with new colors, I asked the painter (after the fact) to paint the sides as well (I thought he was going to). He was cool and painted the sides for us. Maybe it was an extra charge, I don't recall.
27:16 That paper white with the palm tree in front is nice! Good vibes. You'll have to have a good landscaping plan to add height and greenery back once you're done.
It’s pretty standard to learn things along the way when doing a project for the first time. I think you guys are doing great. You also get a lot of good tips on here to help avoid some of those mistakes. Overall it looks great!
The black painted trim looks a lot better. I am glad to finished it out. It highlights the siding so much better.
Very nice detail with the painted edge, nice textural pop
I'm looking forward to the garage door opener selected. For all the right reasons, I'm switching over to a direct drive wall-mounted system.
At times this project seems to be one big test of Paul’s patience, and Jordan’s perseverance 😂
I know the feeling. I started a simple weekend pantry makeover that's going on 4 weeks now. One thing after another lol If I didn't have a FT job it would've gone quicker...maybe 😅
Stud Pack makes painting a two story house look easy. Can't believe it's been a year already. The early videos of the swamp filled yard had my head spinning. It's amazing to see the results now a year later. Great skills, work ethic and strong family bond paved the way.
Did the drainage issues in the back yard get addressed? If not, it's always going to be a mosquito incubator.
Can't address drainage until main house foundation is poured per drainage company @@JohnShalamskas
I'm loving this series.... dream garage and house is a hit!
I love that you painted the edge of the windows. Making sure to get the little details at the end will make you much happier with the end result.
