Merry Christmas boys! It's your favorite neighborhood construction guy here again. I have a feeling you're going to stop posting construction videos on patreon because of me lol. Plz keep them coming, I love them! When you're doing Tylers home, for the flooring, I like to work off a centerline (center of a door, center of the room, center of the hallway, etc) that way when you work outwards, you don't have any weird short pieces or weird angles on the edges. Also, absolutely, positively you should sand before painting. It is a complete pain in the butt and sucks Tiny Cats' balls, but prep is everything in painting! The prep is never about "how it looks right after painting" it's about how it looks in a month, a year, 10 years, etc... You might have some bonding issues on the areas that weren't sanded. Also, should use a primer before painting, especially when going over old stain like yours. Paint and stain rarely mix well, and in worst case scenarios you can paint the trim (in your case) and there is a chemical reaction that causes it heat up and all bubble off. Primer also allows you to use less paint, so you might have only had to do one or two coats instead of three or more. That being said from the video it looks well covered and consistent! All that bs about primer, and how you did the walls is completely fine, painting over already "good" paint usually doesn't need primer as long as its not a completely drastic color change (like blue to red, or dark color to light color). From the looks of the dark color I MIGHT have primed it again just to start at a solid "base," but again the new color looked pretty heavy and solid, so wasn't completely necessary IMO. lol painting is such a pain in the ass. You should prime the brand new drywall but it looks like Jose 2 already did that. As for the trim, too much for me to get into, but watch some videos from Essential Craftsman or This Old House, great Youtube channels that teach all the various techniques of installing base, trim, paneling, doors, casing, etc... really recommend. just as a quick note, mitre all the edges! Not just on the corners! allows paint to stick way better, and limits cracking and expansion. The kitchen redo is a HUGE project, but I know you boys can do it, just mentally prepare yourselves! Those appliances are badass. Levels, shims, lasers, and a little bit of figuring out before diving in are all your friends! Some tips, If you're going to wait a while, store the cabinet doors flat on top of each other on a flat surface so they don't bow or bend, and it might be too late now, but think about ventilation/hood above the stove, really useful if you're like me and suck at cooking and don't wanna smoke out your house, in some states/areas it is code to have one. Anyways boys, Merry Christmas! If you have any questions feel free to ask ill try my best to help as much as I can!
