    The good thing when you paint an house where you are going to live in yourself is that you can choose bold colours that you like, you are not limited to the boring designer's grey pallet.

      You gotta look into the flappy paddle on on an angle grinder, it is so fast. If you don't have a steady hand, it might not be the best but it saves so much time.

    We had to replace moldings on a 3 window bay where the angles were not the same from one face to another and the angles at the floor were not exactly the angles at the ceiling. None of them were exactly 45° or 22.5°. I laid a piece of paper along the wall with the corner of the paper at the inside corner of the wall. Then I laid another paper coming in to the corner from the other side of the angle. Glued the papers together so the angle of the paper was exactly the same as the wall. Folded the paper to divide the angle and set my miter box to that angle. All the angles came out very close. Thanks for showing this video.

    A tip I learned from a good friend of mine is to prime all the trim before installing it. It does two things:
    1: saves you crawling around priming baseboard
    2: lets you see your measure marks a bit easier

  • @edreynoldssr8910
    @edreynoldssr8910 25 дней назад +11

    You did an awesome job on the trim work. The only thing I saw that was tough to watch was you coping. I have been doing trim work and building since I left the Marine Corps in 1966 the next spring I started back building and I learned the easier way to cope is standing upright and sawing down in the trim with the finish side up. It is easier to cut and backbevel at the same time. I'm 78 now and still working in the shop building cabinets and furniture. If you love working with wood and creating projects then it's not working it's just fun. You did a super job on the whole house remodel and I would not change a thing. Keep up doing what you do and you'll always enjoy creating. There's nothing better then to look at a finished project.

    • @captainsawdust1
      @captainsawdust1 22 дня назад +1

      I saw the same thing and I've been a trim carpenter for over 50 years. Turn the coping saw blade around with teeth facing away from handle, cut from top (easier to hold down and back bevel) and all grain blowouts are on the backside of trim. I also never double cope anymore. Tack a 2 foot piece on wall cope to it but don't nail the first 3 or 4 feet then remove tacked piece and last piece is cope to square like all the others. I do crown molding right to left and baseboard left to right as I'm right handed and prefer to cope those ends.

    Yes!!! So excited about this, very educational! My house is 1970’s with the original trim I’d like to eventually replace parts of. Love the color on the trim and ceiling! Very mid mod, bright and just fits your home. The trim makes the space, it’s elegant yet simple and seems to ground the home. Love the colors and now seeing the cabinetry surrounded by that bright white after the pop of red ceiling in the mud room it just all goes. It’s like you knew what you were doing ;) and ps: after stripping/sanding rotting basement windows and rebuilding one’s rotting sash I’ve learned oil based is everything! I prefer it any day to water based because it clings almost soaks into bare wood and smoothes out imperfections

    Awesome work. Got a few reno's behind me, and I know the pain of finish work. Love the comment, "This is my first cope cut... don't judge me." LOL - 'Sorry, Sir, this is the internet.'
    So many awesome painting tips and info in this! I really was intrigued by the idea of a shellac-based primer - ?? - could you do some later content on that? I've never, ever been pleased with any kind of primer, mainly because it never does what it's supposed to, even the higher-dollar stuff.
    Good call on revising that green, dude. And, as someone else noted, the trick of painting a 'tray' down from the ceiling and hiding the corner is genius.

    That red in the Mud room is awesome. I love it. On camera it does feel like it fights the white below it. The white you have chosen might have a cast to it that doesn't work with the Red or it could be that the room feels unbalanced with the heavy colour on top and a light colour on the bottom. A similar grey to what you put in your bathroom might fix that but could make the room too dark.
    How you furnish the room will also change the look. And what I'm seeing could all just be in the camera or my monitor though.

    For the cope cuts on off angle corners, like your bay window, I always bisect the angle just like you would for a miter, so I would cut 45 degrees on the full length piece, and then cut a 22.5 on the coped part. That gives the illusion of the inside miter. If you cut the cope at a 45 the angle of intersection is not bisecting the angle of the walls. Just my $0.02

    Plus use a jig saw with a very thin blade for doing coping way faster

    Micheal! Beautiful work it’s gonna be a beautiful house. One question did you caulk the molding or did the painters? And I am with you the older I get the more value I see in having professional painters do that work. In the past it just seemed easy enough that I could do it, but I did it poorly! The pros are the way.

      Thanks! The painters did all the caulking

    Love the video!
    Side question- is the kapex with UG stand worth it? The supports seem to be very shallow, is it only good for trim?
    They’re $300 off recently and was thinking about getting it but still $2200 so not sure if it’s worth it
