i was just typing something similar and then i realized i am german, more likes to you sir.

Your name....... 👛🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👜

So true I agree

Agreed.........I actually took on the task of getting my mother-in-law's two bed house ready for the market after she passed. Between the garden, ripping out old wardrobes cupboards etc filling holes and gaps everywhere and painting the whole place, it took me six weeks! Good thi g I was retired.....

I Love my Dad too🙋🏾‍♀️

Must be nice.

yep

Ain't it?!💖💕💖💕💖💯🫂

Yeah I was suppose to be a sheetrocker and taper ,as my father was the best in my area for many decades….but we couldn’t work together..didn’t know father son construction without arguing was possible.

Ditto on that father son thing.

Did not expect to learn that much about something I've DIY'd pretty well for years. Thank you.

​@@vicpnut1zzzzz--😢_

Yes...the best teacher I have seen in construction videos.

yep

Great paint ain’t cheap!! Just did a few doors with Benjamin Moore regal semi-gloss the result was phenomenal. Such a pleasure to work with. The marquee is definitely a good paint for a box store purchase.

I think Behr Marquee and Dynasty are better than any paint at Sherwin, including Emerald.

Lol you will drip. I'd love to show up on anyone's job and point out the hacks. I'm the damn Gordon Ramsey of painting. KZfaq is full of hacks. The trade is full of hacks and the damn people are lied to and scammed by you hacks.

Everything except markers - use oil base for that

@@conradcoolerfiend hate to tell you but shellac is a way more effective primer idol cover up but you need alcohol to clean up but white pigmented shellac once you get a hold of it you'll never go back to just oil base primer don't get me wrong it's a good primer and I'd rather use that if I'm going to roll out a whole room and shellac because that can eat your liver

I had an old timer (probably trained during or right after WW II) teach me stuff like that, but he also showed me a herringbone-pattern for brushing the walls instead of using a roller or spray. It remains my favorite wall texture, and for small rooms like kitchens and baths, it doesn't really take all that much longer.

O

Yikes.

​@@mikethepainter why yikes? Lol...random.

Haha

i repainted my condo. originally had antique white which was okay. i repainted with a much whiter white (but not glaring). it really opened up the place, much less dingy.

I'm like Paul, always to busy to paint my house, but it has loads of 'strikes' on the baseboard and trim.

I had a client almost in tears once after painting her bedroom for the first time in what looked like 20 years. She couldn't believe how much happier it looked

Me too!

Same. Except I don't put them in fridge. I live in Florida. I can bag a roller and it will last a week if I don't use it. If I use it here and there it'll last a while. New paint keeps it fresh.

You can even lightly dampen it with bv water to make it last a bit longer

I use cling film

Must not have a wife lol

Thx jasson 👊 yep we have the best viewers on YT 💪

@William B not inside the paint can, inside the plastic bag before storing the roller and brush, and I’m assuming the wall if the edge starts to dry out

Yug5

great tip!

I just bought one. I have yet to try it out.

Having just contaminated a new tin of paint by brushing straight from there rather than using a separate container, I agree with the painter who taught you!

I also store my roller if I’m doing a small project right in the can (small) can 😊

Our pleasure Alisa and thx for the support 👍

@@StudPack hi can you tell what brand is the roller ? or a link ? thank you

@@TheMakyato It is a Purdy roller and pole. I am a professional painter and that is all I use; also Purdy brushes. If you clean them out right after you’re done using it they will last you for years.

ben moore and sherwin williams are both 10x better then cheap behr

@@brodyllc behr is trash paint . BM & SW offer affordable paint that is easier to work with and far more durable. When people say " we baught the paint already" and they say it's behr I walk away . The paint is a challenge to work with at every step. It will actually destroy a perfectly good brush by wadding up in the bristles and blowing it out ( once they get like that they are good only for use as a duster or painting garbage cans) . Behr paint absolutely will not cover in one coat , no paint I've ever used is capable of that , it is 100% a lie . People should spend the extra $10 a gallon and get good paint that goes on smooth and lasts .

Benjamin Moore all day for me.

Great

That's actually not a bad idea.

@@ManlyManStuff My inside waste cans have holes in them for that reason as well!

I'm enthusiastic about this hole idea,yet I thought,might stick some tape on it before knocking off!

Holes drilled into the bottom of TRASH cans?...what about ants who decide to visit your trash?...and then elsewhere.

Too funny.😂

😂😂😂😂.. one day bro .. one day

Lol knowledge is power player

Omg 😂same shit happened to me 🤣🤣🤣🤣 your comment is too funny 🤣🤣🤣

They also have an Emerald latex with polyurethane that can go over oil. Only complaint is the Semi gloss sheen isn't the best so I'd recommend Gloss. But, it's fantastic if you'd prefer using latex over oil.

My brother in law is a professional painter and he would get jobs with same deadline date and have me and my son come help….I learned most of those tips and tricks I saw in this video from him. The plastic liner tip was new to me and snipping the corner. And absolutely the putty knife and damp cotton cloth is always on you or it will look like the trim he showed in the other house in the video. He used the 18” roller for years but doing high ceilings is hard on the neck and shoulders and gets heavy when loaded with paint so he switched back to the 9” as he is so fast and when he back rolls you don’t see any lap marks. He been painting with his dad since he was 13 and is 68 and still going strong.

LOL Makes me want to hire someone to paint my house.

It’s very easy when you don’t have to move furniture and wherever it’s in the way that’s piece a cake when it’s new

🙄

@@campbellgardner1919 lol

Negotiate with the landlord to do work for a discount on rent

Yup, I learned this the hard way painting the kitchen with semi gloss!

@Crack Shot In the kitchen yeah. Looks great longer and makes it easier to clean them when needed.

@@Pixeltrainer Bathrooms as well.

Can someone explain or point me to a video that explains 'cross roll' and 'back roll?' Thanks, first time painter here.

@@mattg9371 Painting is usually cutting in a wall with a brush and then rolling. At a wall the rolling is generally a up down, down up rolling motion. The first goal is to get ~100% coverage for the coat of paint. The back roll is after you get coverage you even out the amount of paint on the wall so you dont have orange peels (large deposits of paint) and roller marks. Back rolling is usually down with a roller that has not excess paint. In the wall example above a roll side-to-side would be considered a cross-roll. So people cross roll the ceiling and floor edges to get the roller texture as close to the ceiling and trim and not worry about touching them with the roller. This step is usually before back rolling. When you are inexperienced you likely wont get close to the adjacent ceiling or trim for fear of transfering paint and you can miss areas between the cut line and the roller. Normally the back roll is the last roll. I add the finish roll after the back roll on the walls I mentioned in the OP. You will get the feel. Start with a 15 mm lint free roller on your first wall and you will quickly learn about your tools and your paint. Some paints cost more but get much better coverage. Just a note, cross rolling is a technique that can save time and improve appearances. I usually cross roll above and below window frames and then finish with a up-down back roll for wall texture consistency. If you are rolling walls the most important tool is the extension poll. Anyone rolling a wall without one is usually an ignorant fool and you see it in hollywood often.

An electrician looked at an outlet I painted to match the wall and told me it’s against code. That’s fine, I wanted to hide the outlet.

@@LSUTigerMom it’s all fun and games until the FBI catches up with you.

@@PeterPaul175 Hi Peter! I believe the FBI has bigger fish to fry than painted outlets. Have a great day!

I laughed at that. I wasn't entirely sure if he was joking or not.

Paul admitted he was joking earlier in the comments

😂 Cute
