6:34 “Whenever you see a crack, you’re gonna want to put some caulk in there.” Got it. I agree.

I don't know, but 5:55 "get your finger a little wet and just rub that caulk right in there like that, can do it real quick" kinda was the one that made me 😱😂

I have much more confidence with your directions, and positive that I can improve and learn as I go...thank you!

You're an excellent teacher. You seem like you didn't want to do the video at different parts, but that's what I enjoy about it because it feels real. Also the upbeat music is perfect. All the tidbits that you talk about from doing this for a long time are what helps the most in my opinion.

Whole family watched all of this series, fantastic info. I have often said I would rather clean out a septic tank than paint because when painting I knew before I started that I would always be unhappy with the result. This helped greatly with that. Got the book as well, I know it is not a how to paint book but a book about painters, I like biographies. Thanks for both.

@howtopaintahouse 10 жыл бұрын

Hi--If you watch the entire series you will see how I "edge" these lines between wall/ceiling and wall/trim. I often do the lines freehand, and I show the tricks I use to make them look straight. In certain instances it pays to use tape though, especially when you have natural-wood trim (use blue tape). I also usually tape things I am painting above, such as baseboard, to prevent splatter. Too much to explain here completely...it's all in the videos. Thanks!

I am glad to see a painter tell people to protect windows with tape and something. As a window cleaner, I see so many house painters who do not. That said, I paint without a net, but I also take the time to not drip or splatter, too.

Question, I am paying a professional painter to paint the interior of my home. He is on day 4. I am noticing that he has not filled in the little holes. He is just painting over them. However. You can still see that there’s a hole there. Your video confirms that he is not doing a thorough job. Trying to find the best way to approach him without making him fee as though I am trying to tell him how to do his job. Any advice as to how I can bring this to his attention ? Thanks

In reply to Kerpal Singh, your exactly right though a steady hand is usually a professionals domain, in the UK we never use masking tape on our jobs BUT i would definitely use masking tape for any surfaces that are not to be touched, it is less hassle than not to have peace of mind especially if the householders are quite posh and like to see a clean tradesman.
