AIRLESS SPRAYING. Begin the preparation by masking the glass panels of the doors. The painter uses a 3M Advanced Masking Film dispenser along with FrogTape. He prefers masking the doors while they are upright to avoid bending over. FrogTape is chosen for its 'PaintBlock Technology' which swells to prevent paint bleed under the tape, ensuring clean lines on the glass. The process is carried out using a 'batch processing' method where all similar steps (like applying tape and film to all panels) are completed before moving to the next task. https://www.youtube.com/embed/sRKBmm6cma8 56 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/best-way-to-paint-doors-airless-spraying-v482425/trimming-masking-corners-with-a-2edge-tool-c1654793 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sRKBmm6cma8/hqdefault.jpg Trimming Masking Corners with a 2-Edge Tool — BEST Way To Paint Doors. AIRLESS SPRAYING. After applying the masking film and tape, trim the corners and edges for a precise finish. The painter uses a '2 Edge 5-in-1' tool, which incorporates a sharp blade, to cut the tape and film neatly. Ensuring the blade is extremely sharp is crucial for clean cuts, especially for precision corners. https://www.youtube.com/embed/sRKBmm6cma8 58 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/best-way-to-paint-doors-airless-spraying-v482425/remove-door-hardware-and-secure-screws-c1654794 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sRKBmm6cma8/hqdefault.jpg Remove Door Hardware and Secure Screws — BEST Way To Paint Doors. AIRLESS SPRAYING. Carefully remove all door hardware, including handles, locks, and latch mechanisms. For the latch mechanism, note the placement of different sized screws (e.g., long screw at the top, short screw at the bottom) and use tape to secure them to the hardware piece itself. This prevents mixing up screws and ensures proper reassembly. This also prevents paint from getting on the hardware. https://www.youtube.com/embed/sRKBmm6cma8 75 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/best-way-to-paint-doors-airless-spraying-v482425/clean-door-surfaces-to-prevent-fisheye-c1654795 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sRKBmm6cma8/hqdefault.jpg Clean Door Surfaces to Prevent Fisheye — BEST Way To Paint Doors. AIRLESS SPRAYING. Thoroughly clean the door surfaces with a mixture of Dawn dish soap and water, using a clean microfiber towel. This step is crucial to remove any contaminants like dirt, dust, or oils that could lead to 'fisheye' imperfections in the paint finish. Fisheyes occur when surface tension of the contaminants differs from the paint, causing the paint to move away and create small circular defects. https://www.youtube.com/embed/sRKBmm6cma8 76 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/best-way-to-paint-doors-airless-spraying-v482425/prepare-and-prime-the-airless-sprayer-c1654796 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sRKBmm6cma8/hqdefault.jpg Prepare and Prime the Airless Sprayer — BEST Way To Paint Doors. AIRLESS SPRAYING. Prepare the airless sprayer for painting. First, run soapy water (Dawn dish soap) through the sprayer to clean out any previous contaminants. Then, flush the system with clean water to remove any soap residue. This ensures a clean delivery of the paint. The painter is using a Titan 410 Impact sprayer with an RX Pro gun and a fine-finish 410 tip for an automotive-like finish. Since the sprayer doesn't have a pressure gauge, pressure is set by feel. https://www.youtube.com/embed/sRKBmm6cma8 68 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/best-way-to-paint-doors-airless-spraying-v482425/apply-first-coat-with-proper-spray-technique-c1654797 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sRKBmm6cma8/hqdefault.jpg Apply First Coat with Proper Spray Technique — BEST Way To Paint Doors. AIRLESS SPRAYING. With the doors positioned vertically (using door hangers for stability), apply the first coat of paint. For airless spraying, always start and stop the spray pattern *off* the surface of the door. This technique prevents 'spits' or uneven application at the beginning and end of each pass. Maintain a consistent distance and speed for an even coat. https://www.youtube.com/embed/sRKBmm6cma8 76 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/best-way-to-paint-doors-airless-spraying-v482425/apply-second-coat-and-allow-drying-c1654798 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sRKBmm6cma8/hqdefault.jpg Apply Second Coat and Allow Drying — BEST Way To Paint Doors. AIRLESS SPRAYING. After the first coat has dried sufficiently (PPG Breakthrough dries quickly), apply a second coat following the same start-and-stop-off-surface technique. The painter highlights the good coverage and quick drying time of the paint, allowing for two coats within a short period. Once the second coat is applied, allow the doors to dry and cure properly. https://www.youtube.com/embed/sRKBmm6cma8 43 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/best-way-to-paint-doors-airless-spraying-v482425/rehang-doors-and-final-glass-cleanup-c1654799 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sRKBmm6cma8/hqdefault.jpg Rehang Doors and Final Glass Cleanup — BEST Way To Paint Doors. AIRLESS SPRAYING. Once the paint is dry (not necessarily cured), rehang the doors, being careful to handle them by non-painted areas like the hinge mortises or masked sections. After hanging, use a straight razor blade in a small holder to carefully scrape any paint that may have bled under the masking tape on the glass. Finally, wipe down the glass panels to remove any remaining dust or residue, ensuring a clean, finished appearance. https://www.youtube.com/embed/sRKBmm6cma8 39 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/6-bad-painting-hacks-these-tips-are-nonsense-v482427 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QHdwgOjzPa0/hqdefault.jpg 6 BAD Painting Hacks. These Tips Are NONSENSE! This video, despite its title, presents six popular painting 'hacks' that professional painters strongly advise against. Each hack is demonstrated and explained, highlighting the negative consequences and offering professional alternatives to ensure efficient, clean, and high-quality painting results. The goal is to avoid these common mistakes rather than embrace them. https://www.youtube.com/embed/QHdwgOjzPa0 723 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/6-bad-painting-hacks-these-tips-are-nonsense-v482427/avoid-petroleum-jelly-for-masking-c3318732 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QHdwgOjzPa0/hqdefault.jpg Avoid Petroleum Jelly for Masking — 6 BAD Painting Hacks. These Tips Are NONSENSE! The first 'hack' involves applying petroleum jelly, often with a small artist's brush, to surfaces like doorknobs or door hinges to prevent paint from adhering. This practice is strongly discouraged because petroleum jelly is extremely greasy and difficult to control. It can easily transfer to the surfaces you *do* want to paint, causing adhesion problems and an uneven finish. Even if meticulously wiped off, residual jelly will attract dust and dirt over time, leading to unsightly build-up. A far superior and cleaner method is to use proper painter's tape, such as FrogTape, to mask these areas, ensuring a clean and sharp edge without contamination concerns. https://www.youtube.com/embed/QHdwgOjzPa0 83 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/6-bad-painting-hacks-these-tips-are-nonsense-v482427/avoid-storing-roller-in-pringles-can-c3318733 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QHdwgOjzPa0/hqdefault.jpg Avoid Storing Roller in Pringles Can — 6 BAD Painting Hacks. These Tips Are NONSENSE! This 'hack' suggests placing a wet paint roller directly into an empty Pringles can to keep it moist for later use. This is a bad idea because Pringles cans contain a significant amount of oil, salt, and seasoning residue. These residues will inevitably transfer to the paint roller, contaminating it. When the contaminated roller is then used for painting, these foreign substances will transfer to your walls, leading to adhesion issues, discoloration, or an unpleasant texture. While some variations suggest wrapping the roller in plastic before placing it in the can, this adds an unnecessary step. It is much more effective and hygienic to use proper roller covers or specialized brush baggies designed to keep paint tools fresh without contamination. https://www.youtube.com/embed/QHdwgOjzPa0 93 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/6-bad-painting-hacks-these-tips-are-nonsense-v482427/avoid-diy-milk-jug-cutin-bucket-c3318734 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QHdwgOjzPa0/hqdefault.jpg Avoid DIY Milk Jug Cut-in Bucket — 6 BAD Painting Hacks. These Tips Are NONSENSE! This 'hack' involves cutting a large opening into a plastic milk jug to create a handheld paint container for 'cutting in' (painting edges). The video demonstrates that the thin, flimsy plastic of a milk jug provides very little stability. When paint is poured into it and the jug is tilted or moved, paint easily spills, particularly from the handle area, creating a mess and wasting paint. This significantly reduces the 'margin for error' and makes careful work difficult. Instead, invest in a dedicated, durable cut-in paint bucket, which is designed with stability and ease of use in mind, providing a professional and spill-resistant solution for edging and detail work. https://www.youtube.com/embed/QHdwgOjzPa0 98 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/6-bad-painting-hacks-these-tips-are-nonsense-v482427/avoid-aluminum-foil-for-masking-c3318735 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QHdwgOjzPa0/hqdefault.jpg Avoid Aluminum Foil for Masking — 6 BAD Painting Hacks. These Tips Are NONSENSE! This 'hack' suggests wrapping aluminum foil around hardware, doorknobs, or other fixtures to protect them during painting. The presenters critique this method by explaining that aluminum foil, despite its flexibility, does not conform tightly enough to create a truly sealed edge. This allows paint to bleed underneath, resulting in an untidy paint job that requires additional cleanup. Furthermore, it is often difficult and time-consuming to precisely shape and secure aluminum foil around complex objects. Professional painters recommend using specific painter's tapes, which adhere firmly and create sharp lines, or even simple newspaper and painter's tape for larger areas, as these provide superior protection and a cleaner finish. https://www.youtube.com/embed/QHdwgOjzPa0 73 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/6-bad-painting-hacks-these-tips-are-nonsense-v482427/avoid-rubber-band-for-brush-wiping-c3318736 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QHdwgOjzPa0/hqdefault.jpg Avoid Rubber Band for Brush Wiping — 6 BAD Painting Hacks. These Tips Are NONSENSE! This 'hack' involves placing a rubber band around a paint can, creating a taut line across the opening, which is then used to scrape excess paint off a brush. The video highlights that this technique is dangerous and ineffective. Wiping the brush against the rubber band often causes paint to flick and splatter in unpredictable directions, potentially staining surrounding areas or even the painter. More importantly, this method removes too much paint from the brush or prevents proper loading, making it difficult to achieve good coverage and a smooth application, particularly when cutting in. Professional painters instead gently tap or scrape excess paint on the inside rim of a designated cut-in bucket or paint can, ensuring the brush is properly loaded and reducing mess. https://www.youtube.com/embed/QHdwgOjzPa0 154 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/6-bad-painting-hacks-these-tips-are-nonsense-v482427/avoid-punching-holes-in-paint-can-rim-c3318737 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QHdwgOjzPa0/hqdefault.jpg Avoid Punching Holes in Paint Can Rim — 6 BAD Painting Hacks. These Tips Are NONSENSE! The final 'hack' involves using a nail and hammer (or even a drill, as jokingly suggested) to punch holes in the 'well' or rim of a paint can. The idea is to allow excess paint that accumulates in the rim to drain back into the can. However, this is highly detrimental. Punching holes exposes the raw metal of the can to air and moisture, leading to rust. This rust will then contaminate the paint, especially lighter colors, causing discoloration. Furthermore, these holes prevent the lid from creating an airtight seal, allowing air to get in and causing the paint to dry out prematurely or skin over. A much better practice is to simply wipe excess paint from the rim with a rag before sealing the lid, ensuring the paint remains fresh and uncontaminated. https://www.youtube.com/embed/QHdwgOjzPa0 76 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/spray-trim-like-a-pro-airless-sprayer-crash-course-v482431 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/JhnkdkqsEUs/hqdefault.jpg Spray Trim Like a PRO!

FISHEYE RESOLVED! The project begins with existing stained and lacquered wood trim, described as a 'golden oak-ish' color. The client desires a darker 'espresso' finish that is not opaque like paint but rather translucent, allowing the wood grain to remain visible. The solution involves using 'lacquer toners,' which are essentially stains mixed into lacquer. To achieve the specific color and transparency, a sample piece of the existing trim is taken to a specialized cabinet shop for custom color matching. They will create a toner formulation that, when sprayed, will build up to the desired dark, transparent espresso shade. https://www.youtube.com/embed/H2YoGIaQqmA 59 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/painting-trim-using-lacquer-toner-fisheye-resolved-v482436/clean-prepare-trim-surface-c1652021 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/H2YoGIaQqmA/hqdefault.jpg Clean & Prepare Trim Surface — Painting Trim Using Lacquer Toner. FISHEYE RESOLVED! Before applying any tinted lacquer, it is critically important to ensure the wood trim surface is immaculately clean. The video recommends using cleaning agents such as denatured alcohol or a deglosser. A crucial warning is issued against sanding older wood trim, especially if there's a possibility of hidden contaminants like old oils or waxes. Sanding can generate heat, which can cause these contaminants to liquefy and spread deeper into the wood, creating a pervasive problem like 'fisheye' during the subsequent lacquer application. Proper cleaning removes surface dirt and oils without forcing contaminants into the wood grain. https://www.youtube.com/embed/H2YoGIaQqmA 41 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/painting-trim-using-lacquer-toner-fisheye-resolved-v482436/apply-tinted-lacquer-lightly-c1652022 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/H2YoGIaQqmA/hqdefault.jpg Apply Tinted Lacquer Lightly — Painting Trim Using Lacquer Toner. FISHEYE RESOLVED! The tinted lacquer (toner) is applied using a spray gun to ensure an even and controlled finish. The technique emphasizes applying multiple light coats instead of a single heavy one. This gradual approach allows the applicator to meticulously build up the desired color and opacity, ensuring the wood grain remains visible as intended. A crucial principle to remember is that it's always possible to add more layers to achieve a darker shade, but it's nearly impossible to lighten the color once it has been applied too heavily. The operator wears full personal protective equipment (PPE), including a suit, respirator, and gloves, highlighting the necessity of safety precautions due to potentially harmful lacquer fumes and overspray. https://www.youtube.com/embed/H2YoGIaQqmA 50 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/painting-trim-using-lacquer-toner-fisheye-resolved-v482436/resolve-fisheye-with-backbrushing-c1652023 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/H2YoGIaQqmA/hqdefault.jpg Resolve Fisheye with Back-Brushing — Painting Trim Using Lacquer Toner. FISHEYE RESOLVED! During the initial spraying of door jambs and doors, a significant issue of 'fisheye' (small, circular craters or dimples in the finish) appeared. This was later attributed to contamination. To overcome this problem without resorting to complete stripping, an improvised technique of back-brushing the freshly sprayed tinted lacquer was employed. Immediately after spraying, a chip brush was used to lightly brush over the wet lacquer on the affected areas. This action helped to spread and blend the finish, effectively masking the fisheye imperfections and creating a unique 'glazed' or 'antique' appearance. The customer, upon seeing the result, approved this new aesthetic, allowing the project to continue. https://www.youtube.com/embed/H2YoGIaQqmA 40 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/painting-trim-using-lacquer-toner-fisheye-resolved-v482436/identify-prevent-contaminants-lemon-oil-c1652024 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/H2YoGIaQqmA/hqdefault.jpg Identify & Prevent Contaminants (Lemon Oil) — Painting Trim Using Lacquer Toner. FISHEYE RESOLVED! The root cause of the persistent 'fisheye' problem was discovered to be lemon oil, which the homeowner had previously used to clean and polish the wood trim. It is emphatically stated that lemon oil is one of the worst products to use on wood if there is any intention of clear-coating or painting it in the future, as it invariably leads to fisheye and adhesion issues. To prevent such problems in subsequent projects, the recommended cleaning method for preparing wood surfaces is simple: warm, soapy water. Dawn dish soap is specifically mentioned as a safe and effective option. This approach avoids introducing chemicals that can interfere with the lacquer's adhesion and curing process. https://www.youtube.com/embed/H2YoGIaQqmA 136 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/painting-trim-using-lacquer-toner-fisheye-resolved-v482436/final-lacquer-application-inspection-c1652025 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/H2YoGIaQqmA/hqdefault.jpg Final Lacquer Application & Inspection — Painting Trim Using Lacquer Toner.

The internal orifice of a paint sprayer tip is made of a durable carbide material, but it is subject to wear during use. Manufacturer studies indicate that a 515 tip can degrade to the equivalent of a 517 tip after spraying approximately 20 gallons of paint. This wear continues, with the same tip potentially becoming a 519 tip after 60 to 80 gallons. This rapid enlargement of the orifice in the initial stages of use, followed by a tapering off, significantly changes the spray pattern from its original design. https://www.youtube.com/embed/6C7E5kjLHdE 49 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/5-tips-on-airless-spray-tips-v482442/recognize-consequences-of-worn-tips-c3318052 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6C7E5kjLHdE/hqdefault.jpg Recognize Consequences of Worn Tips — 5 TIPS on airless spray Tips. As the tip's orifice gets bigger, the paint droplets exiting the sprayer also become larger. This leads to excessive overspray and 'fallout,' where paint rains down on the user and surrounding areas. This not only creates a mess but also significantly increases paint consumption. Financially, using a blown-out tip (e.g., beyond 200 gallons) can result in losing a gallon of paint or more on a single exterior job, costing more than simply replacing the tip itself. Additionally, cheaper paints often contain more abrasive clays, accelerating tip wear faster than higher-quality paints. https://www.youtube.com/embed/6C7E5kjLHdE 110 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/5-tips-on-airless-spray-tips-v482442/determine-optimal-tip-replacement-intervals-c3318053 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6C7E5kjLHdE/hqdefault.jpg Determine Optimal Tip Replacement Intervals — 5 TIPS on airless spray Tips. For fine finish tips, the recommended replacement interval is typically between 30 to 40 gallons of paint, depending on the specific product being sprayed. High-production tips generally last longer, with a recommended replacement after 60 to 80 gallons. It's crucial to remember that the type of paint used plays a significant role in tip lifespan; cheaper, more abrasive paints will wear out tips much faster than premium-quality paints. Using a fine finish tip beyond its recommended lifespan will result in a less refined, inconsistent finish, with larger droplets and increased risk of runs or flashing. https://www.youtube.com/embed/6C7E5kjLHdE 55 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/5-tips-on-airless-spray-tips-v482442/implement-proper-tip-storage-techniques-c3318054 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6C7E5kjLHdE/hqdefault.jpg Implement Proper Tip Storage Techniques — 5 TIPS on airless spray Tips. Proper storage is essential for prolonging the life of your paint sprayer tips. A traditional method involves storing tips and guards in an empty paint can filled with mineral spirits (for oil-based paints) or a similar water-based solvent. However, it's advised against storing them in plain water, as even stainless steel and carbide components can rust or corrode over time. More convenient options include specialized storage devices like a 'Tip Saver,' a multi-tip holder designed to suspend tips in a small container of solvent, or a sealed hourglass-shaped container pre-filled with a protective, water-based product. These hourglass containers allow for easy retrieval of tips without direct contact with the liquid by simply flipping them over, letting the liquid settle to the bottom, and then picking out the tips. https://www.youtube.com/embed/6C7E5kjLHdE 108 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/5-amazing-airless-sprayer-tips-on-sprayguns-v482443 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/BnO3HIRzBOA/hqdefault.jpg 5 AMAZING Airless Sprayer Tips on SprayGuns!

Ensure the gun is held perpendicular to the surface at all times to maintain an even spray pattern. When spraying, pull the trigger and begin moving the gun simultaneously. For wider areas, move your entire body (feet) rather than just pivoting the gun from a fixed position. Pivoting the gun with planted feet will cause the spray pattern to 'fan' or 'feather' at the edges, leading to uneven coverage and more paint going into the air as overspray. https://www.youtube.com/embed/3_ghpcS2pX8 86 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/overspray-how-to-stop-before-it-strikes-v482467/adjust-spraying-pressure-c3318788 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/3_ghpcS2pX8/hqdefault.jpg Adjust Spraying Pressure — Overspray, How To Stop Before It Strikes Avoid using arbitrary low or high-pressure settings. Too low pressure results in poor contact and uneven coverage, while too high pressure causes excessive overspray and wasted material. To find the optimal pressure, start with a lower pressure setting on your paint sprayer and make small incremental increases of 20 to 30 bar. After each increase, test the spray pattern on a scrap surface (like cardboard or masking paper) to observe uniformity. Continue increasing until you achieve a uniform spray pattern with adequate coverage, avoiding excess mist. https://www.youtube.com/embed/3_ghpcS2pX8 156 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/overspray-how-to-stop-before-it-strikes-v482467/select-the-right-spray-tip-c3318789 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/3_ghpcS2pX8/hqdefault.jpg Select the Right Spray Tip — Overspray, How To Stop Before It Strikes Spray tips have a three-digit code. The first digit indicates the spray angle (e.g., '5' in 515 means 50 degrees, by adding a zero to the first digit). The last two digits represent the bore hole size, determining the amount of material delivered. For smaller items like furniture or doors, use a smaller spray angle tip (e.g., tips starting with '2' or '3' for 20 or 30 degrees). For larger surfaces like walls, a larger spray angle is more appropriate. Match the bore hole size to the material's viscosity: thinner materials (like lacquers) require smaller bore holes, while thicker materials (emulsions, plasters) need larger bore holes. Consider using specialized low-overspray tips like Graco FF LP or Wagner HEA (High Efficiency Airless) for further reduction in overspray. https://www.youtube.com/embed/3_ghpcS2pX8 136 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/overspray-how-to-stop-before-it-strikes-v482467/consider-additional-tools-for-efficiency-c3318790 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/3_ghpcS2pX8/hqdefault.jpg Consider Additional Tools for Efficiency — Overspray, How To Stop Before It Strikes To improve reach or application efficiency, especially in future projects, consider using accessories.

Airless Sprayer Accessories. During the initial testing phase, the dual-head extension caused paint to drip, particularly when operating at 1900 PSI. To mitigate this, the pressure was increased to approximately 2400 PSI. This adjustment successfully cleared the 'spits' and significantly reduced or almost eliminated the dripping issue. The presenter noted that while it improved drastically, it wasn't 100% eliminated, suggesting some vigilance is still required, especially when working over sensitive surfaces like concrete. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Qu5wJBLvbTQ 57 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/tools-to-paint-fast-airless-sprayer-accessories-v482468/optimize-tip-selection-for-even-coverage-c3318088 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Qu5wJBLvbTQ/hqdefault.jpg Optimize Tip Selection for Even Coverage — Tools to Paint FAST. Airless Sprayer Accessories. The question of using different tip sizes (e.g., a 515 and a 619) with the dual-head extension was addressed. While technically possible, it is not recommended for achieving an even and consistent spray pattern. The ideal approach is to use two tips of the same size to ensure proper fan overlap and uniform application. Currently, two 517 tips are being used, which are performing well. Using larger, matching tips (e.g., two 621s) would further increase the fan width. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Qu5wJBLvbTQ 51 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/tools-to-paint-fast-airless-sprayer-accessories-v482468/evaluate-tip-life-and-overall-efficiency-c3318089 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Qu5wJBLvbTQ/hqdefault.jpg Evaluate Tip Life and Overall Efficiency — Tools to Paint FAST. Airless Sprayer Accessories. A common question regarding the dual-head tip extension is its impact on tip life. The presenters explain that using two tips simultaneously means each individual tip will experience wear equivalent to covering half the total painted area. However, because the dual-head system allows for spraying twice as fast and covering a wider area, the overall tip life per square footage painted remains balanced. This means the accessory is more about increasing efficiency and reducing painting time rather than extending the lifespan of individual tips. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Qu5wJBLvbTQ 30 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/tools-to-paint-fast-airless-sprayer-accessories-v482468/identify-optimal-applications-and-benefits-c3318090 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Qu5wJBLvbTQ/hqdefault.jpg Identify Optimal Applications and Benefits — Tools to Paint FAST.

Begin by setting up your work area with two buckets: one for the paint supply (with the paint container inside to prevent spills) and another for discard or waste. Place the airless paint sprayer between these two buckets. The larger intake hose, known as the siphon tube, will go into the paint bucket. The smaller prime hose will go into the discard bucket. Ensure the sprayer is positioned stably between the buckets to prevent tipping. https://www.youtube.com/embed/04hA7CwTjM0 75 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-use-a-paint-sprayer-v482471/identify-sprayer-controls-c686093 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/04hA7CwTjM0/hqdefault.jpg Identify Sprayer Controls — How To Use a Paint Sprayer. Most airless sprayers, regardless of brand, will have three main controls: a power switch, a pressure dial, and a prime valve. Locate the power switch, usually on the body of the sprayer. Identify the pressure dial, which adjusts the paint pressure up or down. Find the prime valve, often a small lever located on the lower housing. This valve typically has two positions: 'down' for prime (fluid goes through the prime hose) and 'up' for spray (fluid goes to the gun). For initial setup, ensure the prime valve is in the 'down' position. https://www.youtube.com/embed/04hA7CwTjM0 100 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-use-a-paint-sprayer-v482471/prime-the-pump-c686094 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/04hA7CwTjM0/hqdefault.jpg Prime the Pump — How To Use a Paint Sprayer. Before powering on, verify that the prime valve is in the 'down' (prime) position. Turn on the sprayer's power switch and hold the prime hose securely in the discard bucket. Allow the sprayer to run until clean paint or protective fluid consistently flows out of the prime hose. This expels any air from the system. Once paint appears, run it for an additional 5-10 seconds to ensure all air is purged. This process is crucial to prevent spitting or an erratic spray pattern during painting. https://www.youtube.com/embed/04hA7CwTjM0 80 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-use-a-paint-sprayer-v482471/load-paint-to-the-gun-c686095 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/04hA7CwTjM0/hqdefault.jpg Load Paint to the Gun — How To Use a Paint Sprayer. After priming is complete, switch the prime valve to the 'up' (spray) position. While holding the spray gun, trigger it into the discard bucket. You'll first see any remaining water or protective fluid, followed by paint. Once paint starts flowing consistently, release the trigger. Allow any paint in the spray gun and hose to flow back into the paint supply bucket to avoid waste. Continue running the sprayer for 10-20 seconds with the gun open, directing the flow back into the paint bucket, to ensure all air is out of the spray line. Then, release the trigger and place the gun down. https://www.youtube.com/embed/04hA7CwTjM0 80 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-use-a-paint-sprayer-v482471/attach-extension-and-lubricate-threads-c686096 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/04hA7CwTjM0/hqdefault.jpg Attach Extension and Lubricate Threads — How To Use a Paint Sprayer. It's recommended to always use an extension on your spray gun, even if it's just a 6-inch one. For gutters, a 3-foot extension is ideal. Before attaching the extension, spray some WD-40 onto the female threads of the extension and the spray gun. This prevents paint from sticking to the threads, making cleanup easier and connections cleaner. Hand-tighten the extension onto the gun, then use a wrench to snug it up, ensuring a tight seal to prevent leaks. Avoid overtightening, as this can damage the threads, but ensure it's tight enough to prevent leaks under pressure. https://www.youtube.com/embed/04hA7CwTjM0 100 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-use-a-paint-sprayer-v482471/final-checks-and-tip-installation-c686097 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/04hA7CwTjM0/hqdefault.jpg Final Checks and Tip Installation — How To Use a Paint Sprayer.

They explain that they are repainting this specific room because the initial color applied to the house was incorrect. For this particular room, they decide to use a 9-inch paint roller, and they intend to explain their reasons for choosing this size, acknowledging that it might be an unconventional choice for some. https://www.youtube.com/embed/3CbUyv8K-Ho 47 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/best-paint-roller-for-painting-walls-fast-v482493/benefit-1-simplified-cleanup-c3315957 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/3CbUyv8K-Ho/hqdefault.jpg Benefit 1: Simplified Cleanup — Best Paint Roller for Painting Walls FAST One of the main reasons for opting for a 9-inch roller over an 18-inch roller is the significant ease of cleaning. Cleaning an 18-inch roller takes considerably more time and effort, often requiring it to be cleaned outdoors with an extension pole and a larger pan, making it a messier and more difficult process. In contrast, a 9-inch roller can be easily put inside a standard paint bucket and cleaned efficiently with water, saving time and reducing mess. https://www.youtube.com/embed/3CbUyv8K-Ho 27 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/best-paint-roller-for-painting-walls-fast-v482493/benefit-2-paint-economy-and-cost-savings-c3315958 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/3CbUyv8K-Ho/hqdefault.jpg Benefit 2: Paint Economy and Cost Savings — Best Paint Roller for Painting Walls FAST Building on the discussion of efficiency, the video explains that another significant benefit of using a 9-inch roller is the reduction in paint loss and overall material cost. With an 18-inch roller, more paint is inevitably lost in the larger pan or bucket, clinging to the sides or drying out. Conversely, using a 9-inch roller with a standard 1-gallon paint pan or a smaller bucket with a grid reduces paint waste. Furthermore, 9-inch roller covers are considerably cheaper (typically $3-6) than their 18-inch counterparts (around $10-13), making it more economical to replace them after a job, saving cleaning time. https://www.youtube.com/embed/3CbUyv8K-Ho 70 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/best-paint-roller-for-painting-walls-fast-v482493/benefit-3-optimal-handling-and-application-c3315959 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/3CbUyv8K-Ho/hqdefault.jpg Benefit 3: Optimal Handling and Application — Best Paint Roller for Painting Walls FAST The final major advantage of the 9-inch roller is its superior ease of use, leading to faster setup and reduced physical effort during application. Loading paint onto a 9-inch roller is quicker and simpler, as it typically involves merely sliding the nap onto the frame. For single rooms, its lighter weight and more nimble nature make it easier to roll and maneuver. On textured walls, like 'orange peel,' an 18-inch roller demands significantly more pressure to work the paint into the surface, causing greater fatigue. The 9-inch roller, however, allows for effective paint application with less effort and better control, resulting in a smoother finish. https://www.youtube.com/embed/3CbUyv8K-Ho 119 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/best-paint-roller-for-painting-walls-fast-v482493/conclusion-and-community-engagement-c3315960 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/3CbUyv8K-Ho/hqdefault.jpg Conclusion and Community Engagement — Best Paint Roller for Painting Walls FAST The hosts conclude the video by summarizing their strong arguments for using a 9-inch roller for single-room painting projects, humorously asserting their professional painting status ('real painters, not just play one on TV').

To get a crisper line on textured surfaces, lead with the toe of the brush. This technique creates a bit more spring in the bristles, allowing the paint to be pushed deeper into the valleys of the texture, resulting in a cleaner, sharper edge. Load your angled paint brush by tapping it against the inside of the paint bucket to ensure an even distribution of paint. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Mb8CFRE2GqE 69 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-cut-in-perfect-ceiling-lines-straight-clean-and-professional-v482506/airplane-takeoff-start-for-cutins-c686099 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Mb8CFRE2GqE/hqdefault.jpg “Airplane Takeoff” Start for Cut-Ins — How to Cut In PERFECT Ceiling Lines | Straight, Clean, and Pr To start a cut-in line effectively, use a technique similar to an 'airplane taking off.' First, load your paint brush by tapping it on the paint bucket. Instead of starting directly on the edge you want to cut, touch the loaded brush about 1 to 1.5 inches away from the corner. Then, gradually 'rise' the brush up to the desired cut-in line, applying paint as you smoothly bring it closer to the edge. Once at the line, continue drawing your straight cut-in line for about a foot before reloading the brush. This gradual approach allows for better control and a straighter initial line. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Mb8CFRE2GqE 70 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-cut-in-perfect-ceiling-lines-straight-clean-and-professional-v482506/choose-the-correct-brush-type-c686100 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Mb8CFRE2GqE/hqdefault.jpg Choose the Correct Brush Type — How to Cut In PERFECT Ceiling Lines | Straight, Clean, and Professio Selecting the appropriate paint brush is crucial for achieving high-quality cut-in lines. The bristles of the brush play a significant role. Avoid brushes with excessively 'flagged' (split-end) bristles for cutting in, as these tend to hold more paint but become too flimsy at the tip, making it difficult to achieve a clean, straight line. Instead, opt for brushes that have bristles with a soft touch but are not overly flagged. Good examples include the Purdy Clearcut brush or the Corona Vegas brush. For very rough or heavily textured surfaces, a brush with a flat profile and stiffer bristles, such as a Wooster Chinex brush, is recommended as it helps push paint into the deep textures more effectively. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Mb8CFRE2GqE 110 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-cut-in-perfect-ceiling-lines-straight-clean-and-professional-v482506/doublepass-cutin-for-textured-walls-c686101 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Mb8CFRE2GqE/hqdefault.jpg Double-Pass Cut-In for Textured Walls — How to Cut In PERFECT Ceiling Lines | Straight, Clean, and P For textured walls, a single pass of paint during cut-in might leave small, unpainted spots in the 'peaks and valleys' of the texture. To address this, perform a double-pass technique: first, apply your cut-in line as usual, ensuring good coverage. After the first pass, go back over the same cut-in line a second time, but in the opposite direction. This second pass will effectively fill in any missed spots and allows for corrections to any waviness from the first pass, ensuring a solid, even line. To blend the texture of the cut-in with the rest of the wall, immediately after completing the two passes, use a 4-inch mini roller, such as a Purdy Jumbo Roller, to 'back-roll' over the freshly painted cut-in area. This ensures a consistent texture across the entire painted surface. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Mb8CFRE2GqE 179 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-cut-in-perfect-ceiling-lines-straight-clean-and-professional-v482506/maintain-consistent-speed-for-straight-lines-c686102 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Mb8CFRE2GqE/hqdefault.jpg Maintain Consistent Speed for Straight Lines — How to Cut In PERFECT Ceiling Lines | Straight, Clean To achieve consistently straight and smooth cut-in lines, treat the process like riding a bicycle: the faster and more confidently you move, the easier it is to maintain balance and a straight line. Avoid being overly concerned or anxious about making the line perfect, as hesitation can lead to shakiness and uneven edges. Instead, take a deep breath, and move your brush across the surface with a relatively quick and steady stroke. This approach helps prevent wobbles and allows the brush to glide smoothly. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Mb8CFRE2GqE 45 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-cut-in-perfect-ceiling-lines-straight-clean-and-professional-v482506/use-a-brush-holder-for-accessibility-and-cleanliness-c686103 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Mb8CFRE2GqE/hqdefault.jpg Use a Brush Holder for Accessibility and Cleanliness — How to Cut In PERFECT Ceiling Lines | Straigh To keep your paint brush clean and easily accessible while working, avoid resting it directly inside the paint bucket where it can get covered in paint or potentially fall in. Instead, use a brush holder, such as a magnetic holder or a hook-style brush clip, to suspend the brush just outside the bucket. This prevents paint from drying on the handle or dripping back into the fresh paint, and ensures it's always ready for your next stroke. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Mb8CFRE2GqE 29 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/5-important-tips-spraying-with-an-airless-sprayer-v482508 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ga17gZACFmM/hqdefault.jpg 5 IMPORTANT Tips Spraying With An Airless Sprayer This project provides a comprehensive guide to airless spray painting interior trim and doors, including door jams, window trim, baseboards, and complex architectural features like wainscoting and archways.

First, spray the outside edges of the casing in one continuous motion. Then, address the 45-degree corner cuts, followed by the face of the casing, ensuring the trigger is held continuously without release. Repeat this for the inside edges. When spraying the bottom section, after the bottom edge is done, spray the face and work your way towards the window. The key is to stop spraying about an inch to an inch and a half away from each edge because paint will accumulate from the previous passes. A 'fluid' motion, like 'whipping it around the corner', is essential to avoid heavy spots on the corners or 'spits' (splatter) when turning the gun. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ga17gZACFmM 131 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/painting-decorating-sprayers-supplies-in-berlin-germany-v482519 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/RWZnNXNQA-o/hqdefault.jpg Painting & Decorating Sprayers & Supplies in Berlin Germany.

Professional Interior Painting. Before applying paint to the wall, ensure the roller nap is fully saturated. Load the roller by repeatedly rolling it in the paint pan until the nap has absorbed a significant amount of paint. This prevents 'dry napping,' where an insufficiently loaded roller can cause uneven coverage and dry spots. Listen for a distinct 'wet sound' as the roller moves in the pan, indicating proper saturation, rather than a 'hissing' sound from a dry roller. https://www.youtube.com/embed/iCIZTXkIweg 76 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/5-tips-rolling-walls-professional-interior-painting-v482532/apply-and-lay-out-paint-in-sections-c686108 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/iCIZTXkIweg/hqdefault.jpg Apply and Lay Out Paint in Sections — 5 Tips Rolling Walls. Professional Interior Painting. Begin by applying paint to a section of the wall, ensuring the roller is generously loaded. For a consistent finish, immediately 'lay out' the paint with continuous, even strokes, typically from the ceiling down to the baseboard or vice versa. The presenter demonstrates by first creating a wide vertical strip of paint and then smoothing it out. Move to the next section, slightly overlapping the previous one to avoid lap marks. Keep your paint bucket and roller within easy reach to minimize interruptions. If you encounter any small holes, spackle them before painting. Use an extension pole to reach high areas without needing a ladder, allowing you to maintain a consistent rolling motion. https://www.youtube.com/embed/iCIZTXkIweg 300 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-paint-a-house-with-an-airless-paint-sprayer-v482539 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-XrqsbEP75o/hqdefault.jpg How To Paint A House With An Airless Paint Sprayer This project provides comprehensive tips and techniques for efficiently spraying lap siding on a house using an airless sprayer.

The video specifically addresses '3-lap siding'. Ensure the surface has been properly primed before starting the spraying process. Gather the necessary equipment, including an airless paint sprayer with a 30-inch gun extension. This extension helps reach higher and farther, increasing spraying speed and efficiency, while reducing the need to walk as much, saving physical strain. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including a respirator with 2091 respirator filters (like 3M) and gloves for better grip and protection. For exteriors, a 515 tip is recommended, and the pressure should be set to 2200 PSI. https://www.youtube.com/embed/-XrqsbEP75o 101 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-paint-a-house-with-an-airless-paint-sprayer-v482539/strategic-startstop-points-and-angled-spraying-c3315417 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-XrqsbEP75o/hqdefault.jpg Strategic Start/Stop Points and Angled Spraying — How To Paint A House With An Airless Paint Sprayer When spraying, identify logical start and stop points to avoid visible 'lap marks' or heavy paint spots. These natural breaks include the end of a wall or a trim piece. Avoid starting and stopping in the middle of a large, open section of siding, as this can create noticeable blemishes that become more apparent as the paint ages. For lap siding, it's crucial to angle the spray gun upwards when spraying. This technique ensures that the paint gets underneath the horizontal laps of the siding, providing complete coverage and preventing unpainted lines. https://www.youtube.com/embed/-XrqsbEP75o 40 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-paint-a-house-with-an-airless-paint-sprayer-v482539/spray-pattern-and-overlap-techniques-c3315418 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-XrqsbEP75o/hqdefault.jpg Spray Pattern and Overlap Techniques — How To Paint A House With An Airless Paint Sprayer Maintain a consistent spray pattern. As you move the spray gun, overlap each new pass by approximately 50% with the previous pass to ensure even coverage. There are two primary techniques for triggering the spray gun: (1) Releasing the trigger: For optimal paint saving, release the trigger at the end of each pass. This is especially useful for smaller areas or when precise paint conservation is desired. (2) Continuous spray: For maximum speed, keep the trigger held down throughout multiple passes. This method is faster but may use slightly more paint. Observe the paint as it hits the siding. You should see a consistent, even coat. It's generally better to apply slightly too much paint than not enough to ensure full coverage and durability. https://www.youtube.com/embed/-XrqsbEP75o 142 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-paint-a-house-with-an-airless-paint-sprayer-v482539/environmental-considerations-and-ladder-strategy-c3315419 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-XrqsbEP75o/hqdefault.jpg Environmental Considerations and Ladder Strategy — How To Paint A House With An Airless Paint Spraye When working on high areas or areas with super high peaks, it's crucial to consider logistical strategies to avoid lap marks and ensure a wet edge. Ideally, spray these areas when they are in the shade, or in the early morning when temperatures are cooler. If spraying in direct sunlight is unavoidable, the paint will dry very quickly, making start/stop marks more likely. For very high sections, instead of continuously moving a single ladder, use multiple extension ladders ('ladder hopping'). Position three to four extension ladders lined up along the high section. One person can move along these ladders, spraying as they go. This allows for continuous spraying across the length of the high section, maintaining a wet edge and preventing marks. If 'ladder hopping' is not feasible, ensure there is a dedicated person to quickly move ladders up and down, allowing the sprayer to move efficiently and maintain the wet edge. https://www.youtube.com/embed/-XrqsbEP75o 97 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-paint-a-house-with-an-airless-paint-sprayer-v482539/using-a-cardboard-shield-and-spraying-cornerstrim-c3315420 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-XrqsbEP75o/hqdefault.jpg Using a Cardboard Shield and Spraying Corners/Trim — How To Paint A House With An Airless Paint Spra To prevent overspray on ground surfaces, concrete, or adjacent trim that should not be painted, use a cardboard shield. A specialized 'Craft Cardboard Shield Holder' is recommended for easy adjustment without tools. Position the shield holder firmly against the surface you wish to protect, allowing you to spray right up to its edge. This tool helps achieve crisp lines and prevents paint from landing on unwanted areas. When spraying vertical corners or around trim boards, adjust the angle of your spray gun to direct paint specifically into these recessed areas. Angle the gun towards the corner or trim from both directions (e.g., from the left and then from the right) to ensure thorough and even coverage within the tight space. https://www.youtube.com/embed/-XrqsbEP75o 149 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/graco-ultra-handheld-battery-operated-sprayer-reveiw-v482544 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ei4cePEIzl8/hqdefault.jpg Graco Ultra Handheld Battery Operated Sprayer Reveiw This video provides a detailed review and demonstration of the Graco Ultra handheld battery-operated paint sprayer.

After the initial cleaning and caulk removal, the next crucial step is to scuff and sand the entire surface of the shower. While the kit may provide steel wool pads, the presenter opted for a medium grit sanding sponge, noting it provides a superior surface profile for paint adhesion. Vigorously rub the sanding sponge over all shower surfaces. This process not only roughens the surface, allowing the paint to bite into it more effectively, but it also helps to feather out and smooth any minor chips or imperfections present in the fiberglass. Ensure thorough and consistent scuffing across all areas. https://www.youtube.com/embed/QCNRIsgZ3hA 60 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-paint-a-shower-or-bathtub-v482554/final-tsp-cleaning-and-rinsing-c3316646 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QCNRIsgZ3hA/hqdefault.jpg Final TSP Cleaning and Rinsing — How to paint a shower or bathtub. Following the scuffing process, perform a final, thorough cleaning using TSP (Trisodium Phosphate), which is supplied in the Homax kit. Mix the TSP powder with 1 gallon of warm water in a bucket, according to the product's instructions. Use a clean sponge or cloth to apply the TSP solution, wiping down all shower surfaces. Repeat this TSP cleaning step a second time to guarantee the complete removal of any lingering sanding dust, chemical residues, or hidden grime. After two rounds of TSP cleaning, rinse the entire shower meticulously with clean water, ensuring no TSP residue remains. Allow the shower to dry completely, ideally for a full day or overnight, before proceeding to the painting stage. During this step, the shower head and knobs should also be removed to allow cleaning and painting behind them. https://www.youtube.com/embed/QCNRIsgZ3hA 61 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-paint-a-shower-or-bathtub-v482554/mask-and-tape-shower-area-for-painting-c3316647 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QCNRIsgZ3hA/hqdefault.jpg Mask and Tape Shower Area for Painting — How to paint a shower or bathtub. Once the shower is completely dry, proceed with masking to protect all adjacent surfaces from paint. Begin by applying painter's tape, such as Frog Tape, precisely along all edges where the shower meets the wall or tile. This tape is crucial for creating sharp, clean lines and preventing paint bleed-through. After applying the tape, extend the protection by affixing two rows of 9-inch masking paper over the tape and onto the surrounding walls. Secure the paper firmly with additional tape if necessary. Ensure that any removed fixtures (like the shower head and knobs) are covered if they are nearby, or moved out of the painting area. Finally, lay a drop cloth on the bathroom floor to catch any drips or overspray. https://www.youtube.com/embed/QCNRIsgZ3hA 40 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-paint-a-shower-or-bathtub-v482554/apply-first-coat-of-spray-paint-c3316648 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QCNRIsgZ3hA/hqdefault.jpg Apply First Coat of Spray Paint — How to paint a shower or bathtub. With the shower fully prepped and masked, shake the spray paint cans vigorously for at least one minute to ensure the contents are well mixed. Begin applying the first coat of paint in smooth, overlapping passes, working from the top of the shower down to the bottom. For this initial coat, the focus should be on achieving a light, even layer of paint rather than complete, opaque coverage. This light coat dries quickly, typically within 10 minutes at a room temperature of around 70°F. It is advisable to practice spraying on a spare piece of cardboard or an inconspicuous area first to get a feel for the spray pattern and the amount of paint applied per pass. This helps in avoiding common issues like sags and runs caused by applying too much paint. If any sags or runs do occur, attempt to correct them immediately before the paint dries; otherwise, they will be much harder to fix later. Plan to apply the second coat within a 6-hour window for optimal adhesion between coats. During the process, wear a respirator mask for personal safety. https://www.youtube.com/embed/QCNRIsgZ3hA 100 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-paint-a-shower-or-bathtub-v482554/apply-second-coat-with-brush-c3316649 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QCNRIsgZ3hA/hqdefault.jpg Apply Second Coat with Brush — How to paint a shower or bathtub. After applying the first spray coat and allowing it to dry for about 30 minutes, the presenter encounters issues with the spray cans (difficulty achieving a smooth finish) and decides to switch to brush application for the second coat. Pour the liquid paint, also included in the Homax ToughTile kit, into a small bucket. Using a 3-inch flat bristle brush, rapidly apply the second coat of paint.

The presenter explains the importance of a high-quality 9-inch paint roller frame and cover for rolling walls. He explicitly advises against cheap roller frames, as they tend to flex and bend under pressure. This flexing can prevent proper paint transfer to the wall's texture and lead to undesirable 'trailing edges' or 'lap marks' in the finish. He suggests investing in a 'contractor roller frame,' highlighting that 'Wooster' frames are among the best. For the roller cover, he recommends a 'Purdy White Dove' 3/8-inch woven nap, similar to the 4-inch roller cover, for its minimal splatter properties and excellent finish when used with high-end paints like 'Sherwin Williams Eminence' ceiling paint. https://www.youtube.com/embed/uEYcpdavZi0 84 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/top-10-painting-tools-every-painter-needs-v482563/9inch-roller-pan-1gallon-metal-pan-c686127 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/uEYcpdavZi0/hqdefault.jpg 9-inch Roller Pan (1-Gallon Metal Pan) — Top 10 Painting Tools Every Painter Needs.

The presenter emphasizes the critical importance of a drop cloth for protecting floors and furniture during painting. He differentiates a proper drop cloth from an old sheet, explaining that drop cloths are designed to absorb paint and prevent it from soaking through to the surface below, unlike thin sheets. He specifically recommends a 'CoverGrip Safety Drop Cloth' (3.5'x12', 8 oz), which features non-slip rubber dots on one side and canvas on the other. This non-slip feature is particularly useful on slick surfaces like tile or hardwood, as it prevents ladders from sliding. He suggests a 9x12 or 4x15 runner size as most versatile. He notes that a 3M drop cloth from a local paint store, costing about $15, is a good option. https://www.youtube.com/embed/uEYcpdavZi0 104 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/top-10-painting-tools-every-painter-needs-v482563/extension-pole-4to8foot-c686130 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/uEYcpdavZi0/hqdefault.jpg Extension Pole (4-to-8-foot) — Top 10 Painting Tools Every Painter Needs.

The amount of paint you wipe off will determine the final look – wiping more will reveal more of the gray stain underneath, while wiping less will result in a more opaque white finish. Work quickly and consistently to achieve an even distressed effect across all planks. https://www.youtube.com/embed/GW-RaZOt5DQ 151 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-hammer-a-nail-in-concrete-or-brick-how-to-hang-a-picture-v482568 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XgkYiXppDug/hqdefault.jpg How To Hammer A Nail In Concrete or Brick.

Dip the brush into your paint bucket (a 2-gallon cut-in bucket as shown, often with a screen to remove excess paint). Extend the pole to the desired length. Position the brush a few inches away from the fan plate on the ceiling, then slowly and steadily guide it towards the edge of the plate, creating a clean, straight line. Take your time and go slow, especially when working on textured ceilings to avoid paint bleeding under the brush or making jagged lines. The goal is to get within about an eighth of an inch of the plate, as minor imperfections will not be noticeable from the floor due to the height. Continuously adjust the angle of the brush holder and the position of the extension pole to comfortably reach all sides of the escutcheon plate. https://www.youtube.com/embed/tDgyfpLwz9M 195 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/painting-high-ceilings-how-to-paint-hard-to-reach-areas-painting-with-v482570/roll-in-remaining-ceiling-area-c3316653 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tDgyfpLwz9M/hqdefault.jpg Roll In Remaining Ceiling Area — Painting HIGH Ceilings.

Load the 18-inch roller with a generous amount of paint from the 5-gallon bucket. This coat should be applied more substantially than the initial skim coat. Start by positioning the loaded roller in the middle of a wall section, then roll the paint vertically. It is important to overlap each pass by approximately 25% to ensure full coverage and a consistent finish. The paint should be 'laid out' in a uniform direction, typically from top to bottom, to create a consistent texture and smooth appearance, working systematically across the wall while maintaining a wet edge to prevent visible lap marks.

When rolling paint, it minimizes 'stippling' (texture left by the roller), leading to a smoother finish. https://www.youtube.com/embed/uoXWDCwC5tI 33 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-painting-without-brush-strokes-tips-using-latex-m1extenders-v482578/general-usage-and-preventing-premature-drying-c3316976 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/uoXWDCwC5tI/hqdefault.jpg General Usage and Preventing Premature Drying — How To Painting Without Brush Strokes. Tips Using L Latex extenders can be used in both interior and exterior painting projects. Many modern latex paints dry extremely fast, which can lead to visible brush strokes or stippling. The extender effectively slows down this drying process, mimicking the behavior of oil-based paints that naturally dry slower, allowing the paint to level out and flow more effectively. https://www.youtube.com/embed/uoXWDCwC5tI 34 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-painting-without-brush-strokes-tips-using-latex-m1extenders-v482578/using-latex-extender-with-sprayers-c3316977 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/uoXWDCwC5tI/hqdefault.jpg Using Latex Extender with Sprayers — How To Painting Without Brush Strokes. Tips Using Latex M1Exte Occasionally, latex extender can be added to latex paint when spraying, especially if the paint is extremely thick and prone to stippling. This is typically done with HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) sprayers, which often require some thinning to pass the paint through the gun. It's important to note that latex extender should be used for thinning in HVLP sprayers, not water. However, it is generally not recommended to use latex extender or thin paints when running them through an airless sprayer. https://www.youtube.com/embed/uoXWDCwC5tI 40 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-painting-without-brush-strokes-tips-using-latex-m1extenders-v482578/composition-and-product-alternatives-c3316978 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/uoXWDCwC5tI/hqdefault.jpg Composition and Product Alternatives — How To Painting Without Brush Strokes. Tips Using Latex M1Ex The active agent in latex extenders like M1 is typically propylene glycol, which acts as a flow-leveling additive. The video compares M1 to XIM Latex X-Tender, noting they are essentially similar products. It also distinguishes them from flow additives for oil-based paints, such as Penetrol, which are generally less necessary as oil-based paints dry slower by nature. The quick-drying nature of many water-based paints (e.g., Sherwin-Williams Resilience or Emerald) makes latex extenders particularly helpful, especially when brushing details like exterior door jambs in direct sunlight, where rapid drying can lead to paint coagulating on the brush. https://www.youtube.com/embed/uoXWDCwC5tI 90 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-painting-without-brush-strokes-tips-using-latex-m1extenders-v482578/recommended-application-method-c3316979 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/uoXWDCwC5tI/hqdefault.jpg Recommended Application Method — How To Painting Without Brush Strokes.

An old or 'blown out' tip will produce excessive overspray and waste paint. A good tip should last for about 60 gallons of paint (for Sherwin-Williams Resilience paint with a Graco RAC X 515 tip). If you feel paint droplets on yourself or hear a loud 'hissing' sound, the tip is likely worn out. Aim for a pressure between 2200 and 2500 PSI for exteriors, especially with a 515 tip. Avoid running pressure too high (e.g., above 3000 PSI). https://www.youtube.com/embed/SqMFPPGPB58 104 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/stopping-airless-sprayer-overspray-eliminate-paint-over-spray-v482581/master-proper-spraying-technique-c3316935 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/SqMFPPGPB58/hqdefault.jpg Master Proper Spraying Technique — Stopping Airless Sprayer Overspray | Eliminate Paint Over Spray When spray painting, particularly on high areas or long runs, use a 'feathering' technique with the spray gun's trigger.

How to paint Before beginning to spray, all windows must be meticulously masked to prevent overspray. Use plastic sheeting to cover the entire window area. Secure the plastic with masking tape around the window frame. To ensure a crisp line and prevent paint from bleeding under the tape, apply a thin bead of paintable caulk along the edge where the masking tape meets the vinyl window frame. This creates a seal that paint cannot penetrate. https://www.youtube.com/embed/PqUB80_1o8I 49 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/spraying-interior-walls-with-an-airless-paint-sprayer-how-to-paint-v482590/apply-top-coat-to-walls-with-airless-sprayer-c3316727 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PqUB80_1o8I/hqdefault.jpg Apply Top Coat to Walls with Airless Sprayer — Spraying Interior Walls With An Airless Paint Sprayer Once the preparation is complete, don your protective gear (suit, respirator, safety glasses). Begin spraying the walls, maintaining the gun tip approximately 12 inches from the wall surface. Use a consistent, overlapping motion, ensuring each pass overlaps the previous one by about 50%. For optimal speed and to avoid 'spitting' from the gun, avoid releasing the trigger unnecessarily. Continuously observe the paint application; if the coverage appears too thin or 'dry,' slow down your movement. If the paint is accumulating too heavily, risking runs, increase your speed. The goal is a uniform, saturated coat. https://www.youtube.com/embed/PqUB80_1o8I 134 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/spraying-interior-walls-with-an-airless-paint-sprayer-how-to-paint-v482590/remove-masking-while-paint-is-wet-c3316728 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/PqUB80_1o8I/hqdefault.jpg Remove Masking While Paint is Wet — Spraying Interior Walls With An Airless Paint Sprayer.

Attach a mixing paddle to a drill and thoroughly stir the clear coat components until completely combined. https://www.youtube.com/embed/mlReLfDpigA 78 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/epoxy-floor-clear-coat-application-garage-floor-epoxy-instructions-v482593/applying-the-clear-coat-to-the-garage-floor-c3317071 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/mlReLfDpigA/hqdefault.jpg Applying the Clear Coat to the Garage Floor — Epoxy Floor Clear Coat Application. Garage Floor Epox Begin by wearing rubber gloves to protect your hands from the clear coat. Set up a drop cloth just outside the garage entrance as a designated "clean zone" to step on when moving in and out of the garage. Start applying the clear coat from the back of the garage and work your way towards the chosen exit door. One person should handle the "cut-ins" around the edges of the garage and footings using a brush or a small roller, while another person rolls the main floor with the larger roller and extension pole. As the clear coat is transparent, it can be hard to see where it has been applied. Maintain proper lighting and angles to observe the reflection, ensuring a thin, even coat covers the entire surface without missing spots. Do not slide the buckets on the floor to avoid scratching the already applied color chips or finish; instead, pick them up and move them. https://www.youtube.com/embed/mlReLfDpigA 264 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/wagner-paint-eater-painter-tool-great-painting-tool-for-sanding-and-v482595 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZqoU7VjLR54/hqdefault.jpg Wagner Paint Eater Painter Tool.

First, identify any loose or protruding nails and use a hammer to securely nail them back into the surface. Next, use a caulk gun to apply caulk to any gaps between trim boards, around windows and door jambs, and to fill all nail heads. Pay special attention to soffit vents, as caulking them helps prevent them from falling out over time. Finally, sand any areas with old, peeling paint or where previous repairs have been made, particularly on door jambs.

Stain A H For areas of the house siding that are heavily weathered or "beat up pretty bad from the sun" and have existing stain worn off, a specific technique is employed. Initially, a light coat of stain is sprayed onto these spots to act as a pre-prime. Following this, a heavy coat is applied using a stain brush and immediately back-brushed to ensure deep penetration into the wood. This process might require multiple coats, typically around three, to achieve proper coverage and durability. The initial back-brushing focuses on working the stain into any bare wood. https://www.youtube.com/embed/FleDxoKhuW0 78 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-stain-a-wood-sided-house-stain-a-house-in-one-day-v482600/applying-main-stain-coats-spray-and-backbrush-c3316737 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FleDxoKhuW0/hqdefault.jpg Applying Main Stain Coats (Spray and Back-Brush) — How To Stain A Wood Sided House. Stain A House I This step focuses on the primary method of staining the house siding: a two-person team approach involving spraying and immediate back-brushing. One crew member, using an airless spray gun with a Graco X515 tip, applies a consistent coat of stain to a section of the siding. Directly behind them, another crew member follows with a quality stain brush to back-brush the freshly sprayed stain. This technique ensures maximum penetration of the stain into the wood, especially for textured surfaces like wood siding, which helps extend the life of both the stain and the wood itself. Once the first coat has been sprayed and back-brushed, a second coat is applied by spraying only, without the need for further back-brushing, as this serves as the final protective layer. https://www.youtube.com/embed/FleDxoKhuW0 117 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-stain-a-wood-sided-house-stain-a-house-in-one-day-v482600/staining-exterior-doors-and-garage-doors-c3316738 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FleDxoKhuW0/hqdefault.jpg Staining Exterior Doors and Garage Doors — How To Stain A Wood Sided House.

First, the areas around these doors are carefully masked using 1-inch tape, 9-inch paper, and 72-inch masking film, applied with a hand masker, to protect adjacent surfaces from overspray. The front door is stained separately on a flat surface. For the garage doors, after the surrounding house siding has been stained, they are to be painted with a satin paint (Sherwin Williams Resilience Exterior Acrylic Latex). The edges of the garage doors do not need to be precisely masked for the main body painting, as the trim will be painted separately after the garage doors are dry. The garage doors are raised to paint the bottom edge, then allowed to dry before the solid color stain is applied to the surrounding trim. https://www.youtube.com/embed/FleDxoKhuW0 115 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-stain-a-wood-sided-house-stain-a-house-in-one-day-v482600/staining-the-back-deck-and-fence-c3316739 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/FleDxoKhuW0/hqdefault.jpg Staining the Back Deck and Fence — How To Stain A Wood Sided House.

For pools previously painted with chlorinated rubber paint, use another chlorinated rubber paint. This type of paint is solvent-based and 'melts' into the previous coating, ensuring excellent adhesion without the need for extensive sanding. If your pool was previously painted with an epoxy-based or water-based paint, you would need to use a compatible paint or remove the old paint entirely (e.g., by sandblasting or walnut blasting) if switching types, as incompatible paints can lead to adhesion issues. https://www.youtube.com/embed/cAS5ylelQio 28 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-paint-a-pool-painting-pools-with-chlorinated-rubber-pool-paint-v482603/prepare-tools-and-begin-painting-top-edges-and-steps-c3315817 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cAS5ylelQio/hqdefault.jpg Prepare Tools and Begin Painting Top Edges and Steps — How To Paint A Pool.

To confirm cleanliness, periodically lift the paint intake hose (the one that goes into the clean water bucket) out of the water slightly while the sprayer is running. Observe the water coming out of the gun and the prime tube. Once you consistently see pure, clean water without any paint residue, you know the system is nearly clean. At this point, it's beneficial to let the sprayer sit with clean water in its lines for about 5 minutes. This allows the water to dissolve any stubbornly clinging paint. After the soak, run the sprayer again for 10-15 seconds, then let it soak for another period, repeating this cycle until the water is completely clear. https://www.youtube.com/embed/8p11GNYbccs 24 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-properly-clean-or-repair-a-paint-sprayer-titan-spray-painting-v482604/flush-with-antifreeze-for-storage-c3315628 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/8p11GNYbccs/hqdefault.jpg Flush with Antifreeze for Storage — How To Properly Clean or Repair A Paint Sprayer.

P When the walls are a different color or sheen than the ceilings, a different strategy is employed. In this case, first spray the ceilings using the airless paint sprayer. After the ceilings are completed and dried, use a paint roller to apply paint to the walls. This approach helps avoid lap marks and spray marks on the walls, which are more common when walls are sprayed, ensuring a nicer, more even finish. https://www.youtube.com/embed/5hru-1FoAi8 13 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/what-to-paint-first-with-a-paint-sprayer-painting-steps-with-a-v482605/scenario-3-trim-walls-ceilings-all-different-colorssheens-c3316698 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5hru-1FoAi8/hqdefault.jpg Scenario 3: Trim, Walls & Ceilings All Different Colors/Sheens — What To Paint First With A Paint Sp For a room where the trim, walls, and ceilings will all be different colors or have different sheens (e.g., semi-gloss trim, satin walls, flat ceilings), follow this specific order to maximize efficiency and quality. First, spray the ceilings with an airless paint sprayer, allowing about an inch or two of overspray to fall onto the top part of the walls. After the ceiling paint has dried, thoroughly dust off the trim to remove any settled overspray. Next, spray the trim. Once the trim is dry, mask off the painted trim to protect it. Finally, roll the walls.

After cutting in, he takes a roller (implied, as he holds a brush but refers to a nap/roller) and rolls the cut-in area up to about a half-inch away from the ceiling. This technique "stipples" the brush stroke, blending its texture with the texture created by a roller on the main wall, thus avoiding a noticeable "halo" effect where the brush-painted edge meets the rolled wall.

Painting A Straight Line On A Wa The painter emphasizes the critical importance of choosing the right type of brush for the specific paint being used. He illustrates this by demonstrating cutting in another section of the ceiling. He explains that if using a thick paint, a stiff brush (like the Sherwin Williams Contractors 2.5" Angled Sash Brush he is using) works well. However, for thinner paints (often darker colors or specific types like Cashmere, which can be thin even in light colors), a softer brush is necessary to achieve a straight line and proper paint lay-out. A stiff brush with thin paint will lead to "roping marks" and uneven coverage (highs and lows). https://www.youtube.com/embed/5zI7sgL3Rwk 139 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/perfect-ceiling-cut-ins-painting-a-straight-line-on-a-wall-how-to-cut-v482609/reduce-airless-sprayer-overspray-c686159 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5zI7sgL3Rwk/hqdefault.jpg Reduce Airless Sprayer Overspray — Perfect Ceiling Cut Ins.

Fill the steamer with water, making sure not to fill it all the way to the very top, but just below the top of the sight glass. It is highly recommended to use hot water, as this will significantly speed up the heating process of the steamer. To safely and easily pour water into the small fill hole, use a funnel or a container with a convenient spout, such as one designed for tea or similar liquids. If the steamer has already been in use, be aware that the unit will be extremely hot. Use caution and avoid touching hot surfaces with bare hands; a rag or heat-resistant gloves are advisable. https://www.youtube.com/embed/KR5sUirkxas 43 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/wallpaper-paper-border-removal-with-a-wall-paper-steamer-v482612/steamer-heating-and-initial-prep-c3316691 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/KR5sUirkxas/hqdefault.jpg Steamer Heating and Initial Prep — Wallpaper & Paper Border Removal With A Wall Paper Steamer Before the steamer heats up, you may need to adjust or prepare the steam plate attachment. The handle of the steam plate typically has a push button that releases the balls holding it in place, allowing you to remove it or attach it securely. Once the steamer is filled and the handle is properly attached, plug the steamer into the 110-volt wall outlet. The power cord for the steamer unit will likely have a built-in breaker with an orange indicator light, which will illuminate to show it has power. If the breaker trips, simply push the reset button. The steamer will take approximately 15 minutes to heat up and start producing steam. While it's heating, place the entire steamer unit on a drop cloth, folded in multiple layers, to protect your floor from potential scratches, heat, or water drips. https://www.youtube.com/embed/KR5sUirkxas 91 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/wallpaper-paper-border-removal-with-a-wall-paper-steamer-v482612/applying-steam-and-removing-wallpaper-c3316692 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/KR5sUirkxas/hqdefault.jpg Applying Steam and Removing Wallpaper — Wallpaper & Paper Border Removal With A Wall Paper Steamer Once the steamer is heated and producing steam, you can begin removing wallpaper. Start from the top of the wall and work your way downwards. This technique is effective because the steam and hot water that run down the wall will pre-soften the paper below, making subsequent removal easier. Work in manageable sections that you can comfortably reach from a ladder. Hold the steam plate firmly against the wallpaper for about 30 seconds to allow the steam to penetrate and soften the adhesive. While holding the steam plate with one hand, use a putty knife or a flat spackle knife to gently scrape away the softened wallpaper. Different widths of putty knives (e.g., 2-inch to 5-inch) can be useful for various situations and personal preference. For tight spaces, such as around outlets or under cabinets, you can often use a smaller steamer attachment (if available) or carefully work with the edge of the standard plate. If working in a bathroom, turn on the shower to create a hot, steamy environment, which will further aid in loosening the wallpaper. https://www.youtube.com/embed/KR5sUirkxas 253 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/wallpaper-paper-border-removal-with-a-wall-paper-steamer-v482612/final-cleanup-and-wall-preparation-c3316693 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/KR5sUirkxas/hqdefault.jpg Final Cleanup and Wall Preparation — Wallpaper & Paper Border Removal With A Wall Paper Steamer After all the wallpaper appears to be removed, it's crucial to go back and meticulously check for any small pieces of paper or glue residue left behind. Any remaining paper will curl up and become visible once the wall is painted or textured, leading to an undesirable finish. Scrape off all traces of paper and adhesive. Keep trash bags handy throughout the process to immediately collect and dispose of the removed wallpaper, preventing a larger mess and making cleanup easier. Once you are confident that all wallpaper and significant glue residue have been removed, the wall must be primed.

Why Should You Back Roll A For exterior painting, back-rolling is typically reserved for areas with existing damage. If exterior surfaces show signs of blistering, peeling, or other damage, they should first be sanded and primed. After priming, these specific areas are back-brushed and back-rolled *prior* to spraying the main paint coat. Once the main paint is sprayed, it is generally not back-rolled, as this can lead to touch-up issues and discoloration. Trim elements such as fascia, window, and door trim are usually hand-brushed and rolled, so back-rolling is not applicable to them. For the main body of an exterior house, back-rolling is not typically performed unless there's specific damaged areas that have been prepped. https://www.youtube.com/embed/_RQQPE5nFGw 43 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/back-rolling-back-brushing-paint-why-should-you-back-roll-after-v482617/backrolling-for-interior-surfaces-c3316854 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_RQQPE5nFGw/hqdefault.jpg Back-Rolling for Interior Surfaces — Back rolling & Back brushing Paint. Why Should You Back Roll A For interior painting, back-rolling is primarily recommended for new drywall or new construction that has never been painted before. This is often a requirement by the builder. It's considered good practice to back-roll new, unpainted drywall. When dealing with new drywall that requires back-rolling, it will typically be primed with a PVA (polyvinyl acetate) primer, then sprayed, and subsequently back-rolled. For other interior painting scenarios, back-rolling is often omitted, especially if the builder doesn't require it, as it is more labor-intensive and can impact project speed and profitability. https://www.youtube.com/embed/_RQQPE5nFGw 41 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/back-rolling-back-brushing-paint-why-should-you-back-roll-after-v482617/considerations-for-project-type-and-cost-c3316855 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/_RQQPE5nFGw/hqdefault.jpg Considerations for Project Type and Cost — Back rolling & Back brushing Paint. Why Should You Back The decision to back-roll also depends on the project's quality expectations and budget. For higher-end custom homes, there's typically more investment in labor and money, making back-rolling a more common practice to achieve a superior finish. In scenarios where builders do not require back-rolling for new construction, it's often skipped for efficiency and to save on labor costs. https://www.youtube.com/embed/_RQQPE5nFGw 17 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/replacing-a-titan-440-pump-filter-repairing-a-titan-airless-sprayer-v482618 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/rSkBkWI2huU/hqdefault.jpg Replacing a Titan 440 Pump Filter.

To prevent premature wear on this ball and the nozzle, it is critical to always start the pressure washer with the nozzle pointed downwards before moving it to clean surfaces. If the nozzle is pointed upwards when the trigger is squeezed, the ceramic ball falls back inside the tip and is then slammed forward by the water pressure, causing faster wear and reducing the nozzle's lifespan. Therefore, always begin spraying in a downward position and then work your way up. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Es-E3ey01-E 58 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/the-best-paint-sprayer-titan-440-airless-sprayer-diy-home-improvement-v482623 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/OsIKODipJ6o/hqdefault.jpg THE BEST PAINT SPRAYER: Titan 440 Airless Sprayer.

He clarifies that 'square footage' refers to the blueprint pattern of the building itself, not just the painted surface area. For example, a 2700 square foot house, whether single or two-story, is quoted by multiplying its total square footage by the determined per-square-foot price. This square footage price can also fluctuate based on the time of year and demand, being higher in peak seasons like summer compared to springtime. https://www.youtube.com/embed/1DD7R8vVFZE 75 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-much-does-it-cost-to-paint-a-house-v482629/interior-pricing-and-additional-factors-c3316669 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/1DD7R8vVFZE/hqdefault.jpg Interior Pricing and Additional Factors — How Much Does It Cost To Paint A House?

You will need a 3M hand masker, which is designed to apply tape and film simultaneously. For the film, the presenter specifically uses 3M 72-inch masking film, noting it comes in a roll. For the tape, 3M 1-inch 2020 tape is used. When preparing the 3M hand masker, ensure that the sharp plastic blade is installed, as this is crucial for cleanly cutting masking film; a paper blade is not suitable for this task. The hand masker usually comes with a blade protector to prevent cuts, but for faster and easier cutting, it is recommended to remove this protector. Additionally, some 3M hand maskers are equipped with a wire 'ladder hook' which can be used to hang the tool on a pocket or ladder for convenient access, allowing you to carry multiple maskers (e.g., one for paper and one for plastic) simultaneously. https://www.youtube.com/embed/WR8y5AiPMLU 86 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/masking-with-a-3m-hand-masker-v482630/apply-masking-film-and-tape-to-top-edge-c3315919 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WR8y5AiPMLU/hqdefault.jpg Apply Masking Film and Tape to Top Edge — Masking With A 3M Hand Masker To start the masking process, position the loaded 3M hand masker at one top corner of the window frame. Ensure that the 3M 1-inch 2020 masking tape is set to apply only about an eighth of an inch (1/8 inch) from the very end of the vinyl window frame. This precise placement is key for clean lines and easy removal. Begin applying the tape and the attached 3M 72-inch masking film along the top of the window, pulling the hand masker smoothly and steadily to create a nice, straight line across the entire width of the window. Once you reach the opposite top corner, carefully cut the masking film and tape using the hand masker's blade.

The film is designed to expand and cover a large area. Once the film is extended, use individual pieces of 3M 1-inch 2020 masking tape to tack down the sides of the masking film to the vertical window frames. The presenter suggests securing the film about three-quarters of the way down the window on both sides. This intermediate tacking helps to prevent the plastic from flapping or moving, especially in windy conditions, ensuring the film remains in place during painting. Finally, gather any excess masking film at the bottom of the window, fold it neatly, and secure it by applying a strip of 3M 1-inch 2020 masking tape along the bottom edge, adhering it to the window frame or windowsill. https://www.youtube.com/embed/WR8y5AiPMLU 150 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/masking-with-a-3m-hand-masker-v482630/inspect-and-reinforce-masking-c3315921 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WR8y5AiPMLU/hqdefault.jpg Inspect and Reinforce Masking — Masking With A 3M Hand Masker After applying the initial masking, conduct a thorough final inspection to ensure the window is completely protected. Check all corners, edges, and the entire surface of the 3M 72-inch masking film for any leaks, holes, or exposed areas where paint could potentially seep through. If the masking film's edges are not perfectly straight, or if there are any small gaps between the film and the frame, you can apply an additional run of 3M 1-inch 2020 masking tape to cover these areas, effectively sealing them. For those new to masking, using 1.5-inch wide masking tape (instead of 1-inch) can offer a larger margin for error, making the process easier, though it is generally more expensive. A critical warning for exterior projects: 3M 2020 tape has high adhesion and is designed for same-day application and removal. Do not leave it on your windows or exterior surfaces overnight, as it can bond to the surface, making removal difficult and potentially causing damage. https://www.youtube.com/embed/WR8y5AiPMLU 238 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/masking-with-a-3m-hand-masker-v482630/remove-masking-after-painting-c3315922 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WR8y5AiPMLU/hqdefault.jpg Remove Masking After Painting — Masking With A 3M Hand Masker Once the house painting project is completed, the 3M masking film and tape can be easily removed.

While it is possible for one person to remove a door by holding its handle and simultaneously pulling out the pins, this method carries a risk. If not handled carefully, the door could fall, potentially scratching or denting the floor or damaging the door itself. For enhanced safety and to prevent any damage, it is highly recommended to have two people remove the door. One person can steady and support the door from the other side, while the second person fully extracts the loosened pins, allowing the door to be gently lifted off its hinges. Once the door is successfully removed, it is ready for subsequent tasks such as painting. https://www.youtube.com/embed/CfpYrPQCnps 27 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-prep-paint-a-metal-roll-up-garage-door-how-to-spray-a-garage-v482632 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ed0LhgRdXc0/hqdefault.jpg How To Prep & Paint A Metal Roll Up Garage Door.

How To Paint Popcorn Cei Choose a flat paint product for acoustic ceilings, as recommended by the video. The example given is Sherwin Williams' Eminence or Brilliance, which provides a natural look. Flat paint is preferred over semi-gloss or satin finishes because the latter can be harder to cover and slower to dry on textured ceilings. For spraying, an airless sprayer with a specific tip, like a Graco Rack 515, is used. Crucially, a brand new tip should be used to minimize fallout and overspray, which helps prevent over-saturating the delicate acoustic texture and causing it to loosen.

This coat should also be light and applied in an opposing direction to the first for optimal coverage and a uniform finish. The video states that the second coat was sprayed and then allowed to dry for about 15 minutes. Once the second coat is dry, carefully remove all the plastic sheeting and masking paper from the walls and other protected surfaces. The use of flat paint means that bridging (where the tape pulls off dried paint) is not a concern, allowing for flexible removal timing.

Repair an Airless Spray Begin disassembly by unscrewing the fluid side "diffuser" from the top of the gun using the 5/8 inch wrench. It's crucial to squeeze and hold the trigger while doing this. This action retracts the internal needle, preventing it from being scored or damaged by the seat as the diffuser is removed. Scoring the needle can lead to leaks. Once loosened, unscrew the diffuser completely by hand and place it into a designated cup for parts. Next, unscrew the other end of the gun, which includes the handle assembly. This part does not require the trigger to be held during removal. After unscrewing, an internal spring and the needle assembly will be accessible. https://www.youtube.com/embed/93S4G7TZp9Y 70 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/cleaning-a-graco-contractor-ii-gun-repair-an-airless-spray-gun-v482641/extract-needle-spring-and-orings-c3316571 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/93S4G7TZp9Y/hqdefault.jpg Extract Needle, Spring, and O-rings — Cleaning A Graco Contractor II Gun.

Repair an Airless Spra The final step of reassembly is reattaching the fluid side diffuser. Crucially, always squeeze and hold the trigger while screwing this part back on. This ensures the needle is retracted and prevents it from being scored by the seat, which would cause the gun to leak. Screw the diffuser on by hand until it's snug, then use the 5/8-inch wrench to fully tighten it, continuing to hold the trigger. Once securely tightened, release the trigger. Perform a trigger pull test to ensure smooth action. Finally, spray some more WD-40 on the ends and filter side of the gun to further lubricate and prevent paint from drying and getting hard. The presenter notes that if any paint was missed during cleaning, the WD-40 will help keep it from drying. Test the gun with water to check for leaks. If the gun leaks from the tip, it indicates a scored needle or seat, and the packings will need to be replaced, which can be costly (around $50-60). https://www.youtube.com/embed/93S4G7TZp9Y 134 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/keeping-a-wet-edge-while-rolling-a-wall-proper-paint-rolling-how-to-v482642 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/syTQON7Lyr8/hqdefault.jpg Keeping A Wet Edge While Rolling A Wall.

He starts painting a wall section, working from left to right, and emphasizes overlapping each new pass of the paint roller by 50% with the previously painted section. He continually dips the roller's nap into the paint, stressing the need to keep the nap saturated. If the nap runs dry, there won't be enough paint to 'gel and float together,' leading to an uneven finish. He reiterates the importance of continuous reloading. https://www.youtube.com/embed/syTQON7Lyr8 61 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/keeping-a-wet-edge-while-rolling-a-wall-proper-paint-rolling-how-to-v482642/recognize-and-avoid-lap-marks-c3317016 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/syTQON7Lyr8/hqdefault.jpg Recognize and Avoid Lap Marks — Keeping A Wet Edge While Rolling A Wall. Proper Paint Rolling. How Chris explains that while the current coat might not be the final one (requiring two coats for full coverage), maintaining a wet edge is still crucial. He warns that if you fail to keep the paint wet enough or apply it too thinly, it won't flow together, resulting in 'stripe and lap marks' on the wall. Furthermore, he points out that a dry roller nap can actually start pulling paint *off* the wall. The key is to keep both the wall and the roller's nap saturated with paint, ensuring the paint can dry evenly and 'gel together' for a smooth, uniform finish. https://www.youtube.com/embed/syTQON7Lyr8 71 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-paint-a-ceiling-with-a-roller-painting-a-ceiling-v482643 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Uvqzt8jQiTM/hqdefault.jpg How To Paint A Ceiling With A Roller.

Painting A Ceiling. Begin by preparing the ceiling for painting by performing all 'cut-ins' first. This involves carefully applying paint with a paintbrush around all edges where the ceiling meets the walls, around light fixtures, and any other items hanging from the ceiling. The goal is to create a painted border approximately the width of a 4-inch roller nap around all these obstacles and wall junctions. It's crucial to work quickly during this stage to ensure the applied paint remains wet. This wet-on-wet technique helps prevent noticeable lines or 'haloing' when the main rolling of the ceiling begins. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Uvqzt8jQiTM 98 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-paint-a-ceiling-with-a-roller-painting-a-ceiling-v482643/apply-first-coat-of-paint-to-ceiling-c3316907 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Uvqzt8jQiTM/hqdefault.jpg Apply First Coat of Paint to Ceiling — How To Paint A Ceiling With A Roller. Painting A Ceiling. Once all the cut-ins are complete, immediately begin applying the first coat of paint to the main ceiling area. Use a 9-inch nap roller attached to an extension pole to reach the ceiling comfortably and efficiently. Start rolling in one corner of the room and systematically work your way across to the opposite side. The most critical aspect of this step is to maintain a 'wet edge' at all times. This means each new pass with the roller should slightly overlap the previous section of wet paint. By consistently overlapping wet paint, you prevent unsightly lap marks and ensure a smooth, uniform finish across the entire ceiling. Remember to frequently load your roller with paint to ensure adequate coverage and prevent dry spots. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Uvqzt8jQiTM 195 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-paint-a-ceiling-with-a-roller-painting-a-ceiling-v482643/apply-second-coat-of-paint-opposite-direction-c3316908 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Uvqzt8jQiTM/hqdefault.jpg Apply Second Coat of Paint (Opposite Direction) — How To Paint A Ceiling With A Roller. Painting A Allow the first coat of paint to dry thoroughly. The drying time can vary, but typically it takes about 30-60 minutes, or refer to the paint manufacturer's recommendations. Once the first coat is completely dry to the touch, apply a second coat of paint to the entire ceiling using the same 9-inch nap roller and extension pole. For this second coat, roll the paint in the opposite direction from how you applied the first coat. For example, if you rolled lengthwise for the first coat, roll widthwise for the second. Continue to maintain a wet edge throughout this process to ensure a seamless and consistent finish. This cross-hatch method helps to eliminate any visible roller marks from the first coat and provides more uniform and complete coverage. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Uvqzt8jQiTM 156 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/cleaning-a-paint-brush-life-hacks-to-clean-painting-tools-v482644 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Yy0flvdewRk/hqdefault.jpg Cleaning A Paint Brush.

Lay down drop cloths to cover the entire floor surface in the work area. Tuck absorbent towels or rags along the baseboards and any furniture that cannot be moved to absorb excess water and prevent it from soaking into carpets or wooden floors. Then, identify if your wallpaper has a vinyl top layer. If it does, grab a corner or edge of the wallpaper and attempt to peel off this top vinyl layer. This layer often comes off relatively easily, sometimes in one large piece, revealing the paper backing underneath.

The presenter, Chris, the Idaho Painter, explains that airless sprayers commonly encounter priming issues. This happens when paint buildup, grass, leaves, or small rocks get past the rock guard and lodge in the lower fluid section, specifically around the tiny ball valve. When this ball valve is obstructed, the sprayer will attempt to prime but either no paint or very little paint will come out of the prime hose, preventing the sprayer from getting ready to paint. https://www.youtube.com/embed/UCN1BkLtLPA 69 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-fix-an-airless-sprayer-that-is-not-priming-v482650/remove-intake-hose-c3315557 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UCN1BkLtLPA/hqdefault.jpg Remove Intake Hose — How To Fix An Airless Sprayer That Is Not Priming.

After removing the hose, look up inside the lower fluid section. You should see a small ball. This ball must be able to move freely up and down for the sprayer to prime and spray paint correctly. Often, debris such as paint flakes, grass blades, or tiny sticks can get lodged between the ball and its seat, preventing proper sealing and movement. Use a small flathead screwdriver or needle-nose pliers to reach in, touch the ball, and dislodge or pull out any foreign material. This will allow the ball to seat and unseat properly. https://www.youtube.com/embed/UCN1BkLtLPA 61 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-fix-an-airless-sprayer-that-is-not-priming-v482650/reinstall-intake-hose-c3315559 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UCN1BkLtLPA/hqdefault.jpg Reinstall Intake Hose — How To Fix An Airless Sprayer That Is Not Priming.

Honda Engine Hacks. The presenter introduces an MITM power washer with a Honda engine that has been experiencing stalling and improper running, acting as if it's running out of gas. This issue started less than a year after purchase. The engine would sputter and eventually die, even when the gas tank appeared full. Interestingly, removing and replacing the gas cap allowed the engine to restart, but the problem reoccurred after approximately 10-15 minutes of operation. https://www.youtube.com/embed/tGaHZ6iY42Y 62 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-fix-a-honda-engine-stalling-honda-engine-hacks-v482651/check-engine-oil-level-and-sensor-c3316881 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tGaHZ6iY42Y/hqdefault.jpg Check Engine Oil Level and Sensor — How To Fix A Honda Engine Stalling. Honda Engine Hacks. One primary cause for engine stalling, especially when it acts like it's out of gas, can be a low engine oil level. Locate the yellow wire on the engine, which is connected to an oil sensor (specifically mentioned as a safety kill switch on Honda engines). This sensor is designed to shut down the engine if the oil level gets too low, preventing severe damage. To check the oil level, find the dipstick (oil level checker). Unscrew it, pull it out, wipe it clean, then re-insert it without screwing it in. Pull it out again to read the oil level. The oil should come right to the top of the hole. If the oil level is low, refill it to the proper specification. In the video's example, the oil level was extremely low, and refilling it completely remedied the stalling issue. The video shows a close-up of the oil sensor (yellow wire) and demonstrates checking the oil level by inserting and removing the dipstick. https://www.youtube.com/embed/tGaHZ6iY42Y 114 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-fix-a-honda-engine-stalling-honda-engine-hacks-v482651/check-gas-cap-functionality-c3316882 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tGaHZ6iY42Y/hqdefault.jpg Check Gas Cap Functionality — How To Fix A Honda Engine Stalling. Honda Engine Hacks. Another potential cause for engine stalling, especially when the engine restarts after removing the gas cap, is a faulty gas cap. Gas caps on Honda engines (and many small engines) are designed to be 'venting' gas caps. This means they allow air to enter the fuel tank as fuel is consumed by the carburetor. If the gas cap fails to vent properly, a vacuum will build up inside the gas tank. This vacuum prevents the fuel from flowing freely to the carburetor, causing the engine to starve for gas and die, even if there's plenty of fuel in the tank. When a faulty cap is opened, air rushes in, the vacuum is released, the gas level equalizes, and the carburetor can refill, allowing the engine to restart. Inspect the gas cap for any obstructions or damage to the vent mechanism. If it's faulty, it needs to be replaced. The video shows a close-up of a vented gas cap, highlighting the vent holes and demonstrating its removal and replacement. https://www.youtube.com/embed/tGaHZ6iY42Y 78 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-fix-a-honda-engine-stalling-honda-engine-hacks-v482651/verify-fuel-quality-c3316883 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tGaHZ6iY42Y/hqdefault.jpg Verify Fuel Quality — How To Fix A Honda Engine Stalling. Honda Engine Hacks. If after checking the oil level and the gas cap, the power washer is still experiencing stalling or running issues, the next step is to check the fuel quality. Modern gasoline, especially blends containing ethanol, can degrade and go bad relatively quickly, particularly when stored in small engines or left unused for extended periods. This 'dirty' or 'bad gas' can clog fuel lines and carburetors, leading to poor engine performance or stalling. To address this, drain any old fuel from the tank and replace it with fresh, new gasoline. This can often resolve performance issues caused by stale or contaminated fuel. https://www.youtube.com/embed/tGaHZ6iY42Y 20 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-remove-install-vinyl-blinds-diy-blind-installation-and-removal-v482652 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/IpSg-JHu31o/hqdefault.jpg How To Remove & Install Vinyl Blinds.

How to install & remove bl For cellular blinds designed with a tool-less installation, the removal process is typically quicker and doesn't require any screwdrivers. Begin by fully raising the blind using its operating cords, just as you would for the Phillips head method. Next, locate the small, flexible tabs on the mounting clips, which are usually found on the top rail of the blind. Gently pull these tabs outward, away from the window frame, with your fingers. If you find them stiff or hard to reach, a 5-in-1 tool can be used to carefully pry them open, providing extra leverage. Once the tabs are pulled out, the blind should easily release and come away from the window frame. https://www.youtube.com/embed/GXadU0SEiwk 85 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/removing-installing-cellular-shades-how-to-install-remove-blinds-v482653/prepare-for-storage-cords-c3316914 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GXadU0SEiwk/hqdefault.jpg Prepare for Storage (Cords) — Removing & Installing Cellular Shades.

DIY How To Paint A Straight Ceiling Line. Begin by preparing your tools for painting. For ceiling cut-ins, a 4-inch roller nap is used, specifically a Purdy White Dove nap with a 3/8-inch pile. For brushing, a 2.5-inch angled sash Purdy Sure-Tip brush is recommended. The paint bucket should be a 2-gallon cut-in bucket, equipped with a 2-gallon bucket screen for easy loading of the roller. The paint being used in this demonstration is Sherwin Williams Treasure Valley Egg Shell paint. A 3-foot ladder is also essential for reaching the ceiling line comfortably and safely. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xdSm_kDYwsg 29 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/cutting-ceilings-diy-how-to-paint-a-straight-ceiling-line-v482654/load-roller-and-brush-with-paint-c3315850 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xdSm_kDYwsg/hqdefault.jpg Load Roller and Brush with Paint — CUTTING CEILINGS. DIY How To Paint A Straight Ceiling Line. First, load the 4-inch roller nap by rolling it across the bucket screen. Dip it slightly into the paint, then roll it on the screen to distribute the paint evenly without oversaturating. Next, load the 2.5-inch angled sash brush by dipping only about 1 inch of the bristles into the paint. Gently pat the brush on the side of the bucket to remove any excess paint and ensure a controlled, clean application. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xdSm_kDYwsg 25 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/cutting-ceilings-diy-how-to-paint-a-straight-ceiling-line-v482654/perform-ceiling-cutin-and-backroll-c3315851 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xdSm_kDYwsg/hqdefault.jpg Perform Ceiling Cut-In and Back-Roll — CUTTING CEILINGS. DIY How To Paint A Straight Ceiling Line. To create a clean ceiling-to-wall cut-in, place your loaded brush about 0.5 inches away from the ceiling line on the wall. Gently work the brush upwards until the paint just touches the ceiling. Drag the brush along the ceiling line for about a foot in one direction. Reload your brush and then drag it back over the same section in the opposite direction. This back-and-forth motion helps fill in any texture gaps and ensures even coverage. Immediately after brushing a section, use the 4-inch mini-roller to back-roll the painted area. This helps to match the stippling texture created by the roller on the rest of the wall, preventing visible brush strokes and ensuring a uniform appearance. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xdSm_kDYwsg 65 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/cutting-ceilings-diy-how-to-paint-a-straight-ceiling-line-v482654/cutin-and-backroll-corners-c3315852 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xdSm_kDYwsg/hqdefault.jpg Cut-In and Back-Roll Corners — CUTTING CEILINGS. DIY How To Paint A Straight Ceiling Line. When cutting into corners, follow a similar procedure. Using your loaded 2.5-inch angled sash brush, drag the paint line vertically up the corner, extending about 3 to 4 feet. As with the ceiling cut-in, drag the brush in one direction, then reload, and drag it back in the opposite direction over the same section to fill in texture. Immediately back-roll this section with the 4-inch mini-roller to blend the paint and texture. Perform all corner cut-ins before rolling the main wall sections to prevent the appearance of 'halo-ing,' where a visible outline of the brushed area can appear if rolled paint dries before the cut-in is applied. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xdSm_kDYwsg 46 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/cutting-ceilings-diy-how-to-paint-a-straight-ceiling-line-v482654/cutin-and-backroll-crown-molding-and-trim-c3315853 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xdSm_kDYwsg/hqdefault.jpg Cut-In and Back-Roll Crown Molding and Trim — CUTTING CEILINGS. DIY How To Paint A Straight Ceiling For intricate areas like crown molding or above door frames, the technique is similar but requires even more precision. Load your brush minimally, using only the very tip of the bristles. Place the brush about 0.5 inches from the molding or trim and then slowly work it up to touch the edge, effectively drawing a line. Drag the brush along the trim in one direction, then reload, and drag back in the opposite direction. This ensures that the paint fills in any textured areas. For crown molding, pay close attention to the details of the trim, using the brush's tip to navigate curves and edges. For areas above door frames, apply paint with the mini-roller to fill in the space, as this makes it easier for the person rolling the main walls to blend their work. Remember to back-roll these areas immediately after brushing to maintain consistent texture. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xdSm_kDYwsg 186 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/cutting-ceilings-diy-how-to-paint-a-straight-ceiling-line-v482654/ensure-wetonwet-blending-for-seamless-finish-c3315854 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/xdSm_kDYwsg/hqdefault.jpg Ensure Wet-on-Wet Blending for Seamless Finish — CUTTING CEILINGS. DIY How To Paint A Straight Ceil The most crucial practice for a professional finish is to perform all cut-ins (ceiling, corners, and trim) first. While these cut-in sections are still wet, have another person or yourself immediately follow up by rolling the main wall sections. The goal is for the wet paint from the rolled areas to meet and 'gel' together with the wet paint from the cut-in areas. This technique prevents the formation of visible 'halos' or lines at the transitions, ensuring that the entire painted surface has a uniform color and texture, making it look like a professional did it. https://www.youtube.com/embed/xdSm_kDYwsg no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/spray-techniques-using-an-airless-sprayer-home-improvement-painting-v482655 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/1-LjauzTMxo/hqdefault.jpg Spray Techniques Using An Airless Sprayer | Home Improvement Painting This project demonstrates the process of spray painting house siding, specifically lap siding, by a single individual.

The drill bit should easily cut through the plastic, allowing the stem to be removed and clearing the hole for a new fastener. https://www.youtube.com/embed/QGT7l5ZmTgw 7 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/removing-shutters-with-shurlok-fasteners-window-shutter-removal-v482658/prepare-shutters-and-fasteners-for-reinstallation-c3316888 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QGT7l5ZmTgw/hqdefault.jpg Prepare Shutters and Fasteners for Re-installation — Removing Shutters with Shur-Lok Fasteners. Win To prepare the shutters for re-installation, especially if you are using new 'Easy-Lok Shutter Buttons' that are a different color than your shutters, you may want to pre-paint the fasteners. Place the fasteners on a piece of cardboard (the video shows using small pegs in the cardboard to hold them upright) and spray paint them to match your shutters. Additionally, to ensure correct orientation during re-installation, use tape to mark the back of each shutter with an arrow pointing upwards.

Removing Windo The presenter, Chris, the Idaho Painter, begins by explaining that house shutters are typically installed in one of two ways: either with Phillips head screws or with what are called 'quick lock shutter buttons.' He displays both types of fasteners, showing a Phillips head screw and then a quick lock shutter button, which has a barb-style fixture designed to prevent it from easily backing out of the hole it's pushed into. He advises that for screws, you will need a screwdriver or a drill with a number three Phillips head bit. For the shutter buttons, removal can sometimes be done by gently pulling the shutter off if the button remains intact. However, if the button is stubborn or breaks, it will need to be cut off. https://www.youtube.com/embed/kQLiycd9rko 66 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-remove-install-shutters-removing-window-shutters-v482659/remove-shutters-with-quick-lock-buttons-c3316452 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kQLiycd9rko/hqdefault.jpg Remove Shutters with Quick Lock Buttons — How To Remove & Install Shutters. Removing Window Shutter If your shutters are installed with quick lock shutter buttons and they cannot be gently pulled off, you will need to cut the buttons. To do this, take a 5-in-1 tool and carefully position it behind the face of the shutter button, directly against the siding or surface the shutter is attached to. Once positioned, use a hammer to tap the 5-in-1 tool, effectively chopping off the end of the shutter button. This allows the shutter to be removed. The presenter notes that new replacement buttons are typically sold at hardware stores like Home Depot and can be relatively expensive, so it's common for professionals to keep them on hand. https://www.youtube.com/embed/kQLiycd9rko 34 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-remove-install-shutters-removing-window-shutters-v482659/remove-shutters-with-phillips-head-screws-c3316453 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kQLiycd9rko/hqdefault.jpg Remove Shutters with Phillips Head Screws — How To Remove & Install Shutters.

Remo Once a shutter has been removed, flip it over to inspect the backside. Some shutters, particularly plastic ones, will have a 'Do Not Paint' stamp melted into the plastic. If this stamp is present, you absolutely cannot paint them, not even with primer, as the paint will peel off. If there's no such stamp, the shutters can be painted. To ensure correct reinstallation, take a piece of masking tape and place it on the back of the shutter. Using a permanent marker, draw an arrow pointing upwards to indicate the top of the shutter. Also, assign a sequential number to the shutter (e.g., '1') as part of a logical numbering system (e.g., starting from the left of the house and moving right, or working clockwise). This is crucial because every screw hole and shutter position is unique, and incorrectly reinstalling them can lead to misfits. The presenter advises against marking the house itself, as the new paint job would cover these marks. https://www.youtube.com/embed/kQLiycd9rko 122 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/masking-a-ceiling-hacks-using-a-hand-masker-upside-down-v482660 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/gpuY2J7e3lI/hqdefault.jpg Masking A Ceiling Hacks.

To attach it, align the ladder hook's prongs with the two designated holes on the masker's handle. Insert the prongs through the holes until they click into place. The speaker recommends securing the ladder hook permanently by wrapping 3M 2020 masking tape around the masker's handle and the base of the ladder hook. This prevents the hook from sliding or coming off, which can happen with the standard rubber band often supplied. Ensure the tape is wrapped tightly and smoothly for a comfortable and secure grip.

How Before starting the application, the presenter puts on his latex gloves. He discusses the importance of understanding different areas of the deck based on sun exposure. Areas that receive a lot of direct sunlight tend to absorb the stain quickly, so wiping off excess is rarely needed. However, in shaded areas, the stain might not penetrate as effectively, leading to pooling. He stresses that with oil-based stains, any excess that doesn't absorb must be wiped off. If not, it will remain tacky for several days and won't dry properly. https://www.youtube.com/embed/DrUR6ADFdPs 48 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-stain-or-oil-a-deck-professionally-how-to-stain-a-deck-v482665/brush-stain-onto-deck-boards-c3315347 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/DrUR6ADFdPs/hqdefault.jpg Brush Stain onto Deck Boards — How to stain or oil a deck professionally.

First step acid etching the concrete. Part 1. Begin by spraying muriatic acid on the concrete floor to acid etch the surface. The goal is to create a well-etched, rough profile, which is essential for the epoxy to bond effectively to the concrete. The concentration of the muriatic acid should be adjusted based on the initial smoothness of the floor: use 100% muriatic acid for very smooth floors that require significant etching, and a mixture of about 70% muriatic acid with 30% water for floors that are already somewhat rough. The acid will visibly etch the floor, often turning areas yellow where it is actively working.

Paint Sprayer Instructions. How to The first step in preparing the Graco 695 airless sprayer is to lubricate the pump's piston and packings. Locate the lubrication port, which is on the front of the sprayer and might be covered by a protective cover. The presenter mentions that this cover is often left off in practice. Once the port is accessible, apply "packing saver" fluid, such as Spray Squirt Packing Lube, directly onto the piston. Continue applying the lubricant until the reservoir fills up and the fluid begins to spill over the top. This ensures that the piston and packings are thoroughly lubricated, which is crucial for preventing premature wear and extending the lifespan of the sprayer. This maintenance is recommended every two to three uses of the sprayer. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Kk4xZaKdM28 72 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/operating-a-graco-695-airless-sprayer-paint-sprayer-instructions-how-v482668/maintain-machine-filter-c3317080 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Kk4xZaKdM28/hqdefault.jpg Maintain Machine Filter — Operating a Graco 695 Airless Sprayer.

Inspect the filter to ensure it is clean and free of any clogs or debris that could impede paint flow. Before reinserting the filter, apply some packing saver lubricant to the threads of the filter housing. This helps prevent paint from drying and adhering to the threads, and also helps to prevent rust, even on stainless steel components. Reinsert the filter and hand-tighten it securely. Avoid using any tools for tightening, as this can damage the filter housing or threads. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Kk4xZaKdM28 43 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/operating-a-graco-695-airless-sprayer-paint-sprayer-instructions-how-v482668/identify-sprayer-controls-c3317081 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Kk4xZaKdM28/hqdefault.jpg Identify Sprayer Controls — Operating a Graco 695 Airless Sprayer. Paint Sprayer Instructions. How Before operating the sprayer, it's important to understand its main controls. The on/off switch for the pump is located on the left-hand side of the unit. The pressure control knob allows you to adjust the spraying pressure: turning it fully to the left (counter-clockwise) sets it to low pressure, while turning it fully to the right (clockwise) sets it to high pressure. There's also a prime knob, which has two main positions: 'prime' (all the way down) used for purging air and initial setup, and 'spray' (up to either side) for actual painting. The presenter also highlights a 'Watchdog' feature, which is designed to automatically shut off the sprayer if it runs out of paint. This prevents the pump from running dry and potentially overheating. However, the presenter notes that they often manually turn off the sprayer when it loses prime due to having multiple people working on a job, rather than relying solely on the Watchdog feature. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Kk4xZaKdM28 58 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/operating-a-graco-695-airless-sprayer-paint-sprayer-instructions-how-v482668/prime-with-clean-water-c3317082 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Kk4xZaKdM28/hqdefault.jpg Prime with Clean Water — Operating a Graco 695 Airless Sprayer. Paint Sprayer Instructions. How to To prepare the sprayer for paint, begin by priming it with clean water. Place the sprayer's uptake tube into a bucket filled with clean water. Ensure the prime knob on the sprayer is set to the 'prime' position (all the way down). Turn on the sprayer using the on/off switch. Allow the pump to run, which will draw the clean water through the system. This process serves two main purposes: it purges any air that might be in the lines and flushes out any residual old paint or debris from previous uses. Continue to run the sprayer until you observe clean water flowing consistently from the prime outlet, and there are no visible air bubbles. This indicates that the system is free of air and thoroughly cleaned. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Kk4xZaKdM28 66 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/operating-a-graco-695-airless-sprayer-paint-sprayer-instructions-how-v482668/prime-with-paint-c3317083 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Kk4xZaKdM28/hqdefault.jpg Prime with Paint — Operating a Graco 695 Airless Sprayer. Paint Sprayer Instructions. How to use a Once the sprayer has been fully primed with clean water, the next step is to introduce the actual paint into the system. Carefully transfer the uptake tube from the clean water bucket into the bucket containing your paint. The presenter advises using a cut lid or similar cover for the paint bucket to minimize air exposure and prevent the paint from drying out during the priming process. With the sprayer still running and the prime knob remaining in the 'prime' position, the remaining clean water in the lines will be purged, and then the paint will begin to flow. Continue to wait and observe until paint flows smoothly and consistently from the prime outlet, ensuring there are no residual water droplets or air bubbles present. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Kk4xZaKdM28 60 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/operating-a-graco-695-airless-sprayer-paint-sprayer-instructions-how-v482668/purge-water-from-hose-with-paint-c3317084 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Kk4xZaKdM28/hqdefault.jpg Purge Water from Hose with Paint — Operating a Graco 695 Airless Sprayer. Paint Sprayer Instruction With the paint now flowing through the prime outlet, the final step before spraying is to purge any remaining water from the spray hose and fill it with paint. Set the prime knob to the 'spray' position (up to either side) and adjust the pressure control knob to your desired spraying pressure. The presenter suggests a setting of approximately 2200 PSI, which typically corresponds to the 2 o'clock position on the pressure dial for exterior painting, but this should be adjusted based on the paint type and job requirements. Hold the spray gun over an empty bucket and pull the trigger. Allow the initial water in the hose to spray out. Continue spraying into the bucket until you see a consistent stream of pure paint emerging from the gun, completely free of any water or air bubbles. Once this is achieved, the sprayer is fully primed and ready for painting. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Kk4xZaKdM28 78 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-paint-a-house-powerwashing-prepping-painting-a-house-diy-tools-v482669 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/pQjbhpYZhlE/hqdefault.jpg How To Paint A House.

Tips removing wallpaper with a steam The project aims to remove wallpaper from an interior wall, estimated to take around 2 hours for a wall approximately 8.5 ft high by 12 ft wide. To accomplish this, you will need specific tools. An electric wallpaper steamer, such as a Warner brand steamer, is central to the process. These can be purchased online for around $400 or rented for about $75 a day. The steamer comes with two different-sized fittings: a wide one (approximately 6 inches) and a smaller one (approximately 2 inches) for tight spaces like behind toilets. Additional necessary tools include a ladder (either 6ft or 3ft), a drop cloth to protect the floor, a trash bag for removed wallpaper, two sizes of putty knives (a 2-inch and a 4-inch), a screwdriver to remove wall and switch plates, and an X-Acto knife to cut wallpaper in areas behind baseboards or trim that the steamer cannot reach. https://www.youtube.com/embed/UBryCgGmJS4 84 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-remove-wallpaper-tips-removing-wallpaper-with-a-steamer-v482681/prepare-work-area-and-steamer-c3316603 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UBryCgGmJS4/hqdefault.jpg Prepare Work Area and Steamer — How to remove wallpaper. Tips removing wallpaper with a steamer. Begin by laying down your drop cloth to protect the floor, ensuring it is positioned right up against the baseboards to absorb any steam or water runoff. Next, use a screwdriver to carefully remove all wall plates and switch plates. Once the work area is prepped, prepare your electric wallpaper steamer. Unscrew the black cap on top of the steamer unit. Using a small container, like a Tupperware container or pitcher, fill the steamer reservoir with plain water up to the designated "Full" mark visible through the indicator. Once filled, securely screw the cap back on and plug the steamer into a standard 110-volt outlet. Allow approximately 15 minutes for the steamer to heat up and start producing steam. https://www.youtube.com/embed/UBryCgGmJS4 279 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-remove-wallpaper-tips-removing-wallpaper-with-a-steamer-v482681/steam-and-remove-wallpaper-layers-c3316604 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UBryCgGmJS4/hqdefault.jpg Steam and Remove Wallpaper Layers — How to remove wallpaper. Tips removing wallpaper with a steamer Once the steamer is ready, begin the removal process. Typically, wallpaper has two layers: an outer vinyl layer and an inner paper layer with the adhesive. Apply the steamer plate to a section of the wallpaper, holding it firmly against the wall to allow the steam to penetrate and soften the adhesive. After a short period (allowing the steam to work), use a putty knife (either the 2-inch or 4-inch, depending on the area) to gently scrape and pry up the outer vinyl layer. Once the vinyl layer is removed, continue applying steam to the remaining paper layer. Hold the steamer in one area until the paper feels nice and soft, then use a putty knife to carefully scrape off the softened paper and glue. It's important to be patient; wallpaper removal is often a long task. When using the putty knife, ensure it is held flat against the wall to avoid gouging or marking the wall surface. If too many gouges are made, you may need to re-texture the walls later. You can alternate hands when scraping to prevent fatigue. Use the X-Acto knife to carefully cut wallpaper that is behind baseboards or trim where the steamer and putty knife cannot easily reach. Continue this process of steaming and scraping, patiently working your way across the wall, refilling the steamer with water as needed (the steamer has an indicator to show the water level). Only use plain water in the steamer; do not use chemical wallpaper strippers or scoring tools, as these can damage the walls and lead to more repair work. https://www.youtube.com/embed/UBryCgGmJS4 270 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/how-to-remove-wallpaper-tips-removing-wallpaper-with-a-steamer-v482681/final-cleanup-c3316605 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/UBryCgGmJS4/hqdefault.jpg Final Cleanup — How to remove wallpaper.

What spray tips to use? The presenter explains the three-digit numbering system on the spray paint tips. The first digit, when multiplied by two, indicates the fan width in inches. For example, a 621 tip has a '6' as its first digit, meaning 6 x 2 = 12, resulting in a 12-inch fan width. A 210 tip has a '2' as its first digit, resulting in a 4-inch fan. The last two digits of the number refer to the orifice size; a larger number indicates a larger orifice, allowing more paint to be sprayed. This explains why fine finish tips have smaller orifice numbers than standard tips, as they are designed to spray less paint for a finer finish. https://www.youtube.com/embed/JGF9e0GphcI 66 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/recommended-airless-spray-tips-what-spray-tips-to-use-v482697/tip-lifespan-and-recommendation-for-new-tips-c3316815 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/JGF9e0GphcI/hqdefault.jpg Tip Lifespan and Recommendation for New Tips — Recommended airless spray tips.

Simple, strong and effecti Determine the precise height and horizontal position for your floating shelf on the wall. It is critical to locate and mark the wall studs, as the lag screws must be driven into these for adequate structural support. Once the stud locations are marked, use an impact driver or drill to securely drive long lag screws into the wall studs. Ensure the screws are driven deep enough to be firmly seated but leave enough shaft protruding to fully support the shelf. After the lag screws are installed, use a reciprocating saw (or hacksaw) to carefully cut off the heads of the screws. This leaves smooth, cylindrical metal rods extending from the wall, which will serve as the hidden floating brackets for the shelf. https://www.youtube.com/embed/yM0nAh0KVLM 10 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/this-is-the-process-we-like-to-use-simple-strong-and-effective-v1229802/drill-shelf-holes-and-apply-adhesive-c3583584 2026-10-15T16:25:07.854Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yM0nAh0KVLM/hqdefault.jpg Drill Shelf Holes and Apply Adhesive — This is the process we like to use.

Use heavy machinery, such as a compact track loader (Kubota SVL65), to remove excess dirt and grade the ground according to the design's elevation and drainage requirements. A dump truck will deliver several tons of crushed stone (gravel) for the sub-base. The skid steer is used to efficiently spread the gravel across the marked circular path and patio areas. This initial layer of gravel provides a stable and permeable foundation for the subsequent layers of hardscaping. Ensure the sub-base is spread evenly and compacted to prevent settling. https://www.youtube.com/embed/cdhI4mCsbFI 280 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/the-invisible-work-prepping-a-massive-patio-foundation-glass-house-ep-v1229821/refining-the-gravel-base-with-screed-poles-and-compaction-c3714781 2026-10-22T22:42:47.862Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cdhI4mCsbFI/hqdefault.jpg Refining the Gravel Base with Screed Poles and Compaction — The Invisible Work: Prepping a Massive P After establishing the rough gravel sub-base, the next step is to refine its surface for the screed layer. Begin by laying down geotextile fabric over the gravel to prevent the sub-base from mixing with the screed layer and to aid drainage. Use rakes (landscape rakes) to evenly spread additional crushed stone over the geotextile fabric. Install screed poles (metal or PVC pipes) as guides to maintain a consistent depth and pitch for the final layer. Utilize a plate compactor (Bartell SP-13H) to achieve a tightly compacted and stable base. Continue adding gravel and compacting until the desired elevation and uniform pitch of 3 inches is achieved across the entire circular area, ensuring proper drainage. https://www.youtube.com/embed/cdhI4mCsbFI 165 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/the-invisible-work-prepping-a-massive-patio-foundation-glass-house-ep-v1229821/addressing-unstable-soil-pumping-ground-c3714782 2026-10-22T22:42:47.862Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cdhI4mCsbFI/hqdefault.jpg Addressing Unstable Soil (Pumping Ground) — The Invisible Work: Prepping a Massive Patio Foundation One area of concern is a section of unstable, 'pumping ground' (muddy, saturated soil) where a trench was dug. To resolve this, the soil will be amended with Type S mortar mix. Spread the dry mortar mix over the affected soil in the trench. Then, use shovels or rakes to mix the mortar into the soil. For additional stabilization, drive larger, angular aggregate (such as broken concrete pieces or large gravel) into the sub-grade using the plate compactor. This multi-layered approach will chemically alter the soil's composition to improve drainage, and mechanically interlock with the aggregate to create a firmer, more stable base, preventing future settling or heaving of the hardscape. https://www.youtube.com/embed/cdhI4mCsbFI 272 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/the-invisible-work-prepping-a-massive-patio-foundation-glass-house-ep-v1229821/final-layout-marking-and-perimeter-spraying-c3714785 2026-10-22T22:42:47.862Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cdhI4mCsbFI/hqdefault.jpg Final Layout Marking and Perimeter Spraying — The Invisible Work: Prepping a Massive Patio Foundatio With the base layer complete and soil issues addressed, the final step for hardscape preparation is to re-mark the entire circular layout with spray paint.

In this video, a mini excavator is used to carefully dump portions of concrete into the trench-like form. As the concrete is delivered, use a long-handled concrete rake or hoe to immediately begin spreading the wet concrete. This involves pushing, pulling, and chopping the concrete to ensure it flows into all corners of the formwork, achieving a relatively even distribution and preventing large piles from forming. This initial spreading prepares the concrete for consolidation. https://www.youtube.com/embed/GXFWqFxfmnw 5 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/a-concrete-truck-is-always-worth-it-concrete-slab-v1229828/consolidate-concrete-with-vibrator-c3587034 2026-10-22T19:39:04.089Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GXFWqFxfmnw/hqdefault.jpg Consolidate Concrete with Vibrator — A concrete truck is ALWAYS worth it. #concrete #slab After a section of concrete has been poured and initially spread, it's crucial to consolidate it using a concrete vibrator. Insert the vibrator's head vertically into the wet concrete, allowing it to sink under its own weight. Hold it in place for a few seconds until air bubbles stop rising to the surface, and the concrete around the vibrator appears shiny and fluid. Slowly withdraw the vibrator, ensuring the hole it leaves closes up. Systematically move the vibrator across the entire poured section, overlapping each vibration point to ensure thorough consolidation and removal of trapped air pockets, which increases the concrete's strength and density. https://www.youtube.com/embed/GXFWqFxfmnw 4 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/a-concrete-truck-is-always-worth-it-concrete-slab-v1229828/screed-concrete-surface-c3587035 2026-10-22T19:39:04.089Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GXFWqFxfmnw/hqdefault.jpg Screed Concrete Surface — A concrete truck is ALWAYS worth it. #concrete #slab Once the concrete has been poured, spread, and vibrated, use a long, straight edge, such as a wooden 2x4 or a dedicated screed board, to level the surface. Place the screed board across the top edges of the formwork. With one person on each end (or one person if the span is short), pull the screed board along the formwork with a sawing motion. This action removes any excess concrete above the desired height and fills in any low spots, establishing the correct elevation and initial flatness of the concrete surface. Repeat passes as necessary until the surface is level with the top of the forms. https://www.youtube.com/embed/GXFWqFxfmnw 3 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/a-concrete-truck-is-always-worth-it-concrete-slab-v1229828/float-concrete-surface-c3587036 2026-10-22T19:39:04.089Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GXFWqFxfmnw/hqdefault.jpg Float Concrete Surface — A concrete truck is ALWAYS worth it. #concrete #slab After screeding, allow the concrete to rest until the bleed water has evaporated from the surface and it begins to stiffen slightly, but is still workable. Then, use a hand float (typically a magnesium or wood float) to further smooth and consolidate the surface. Move the float in broad, sweeping, or circular motions across the concrete. This action pushes down any larger aggregates that have risen to the surface, brings a fine paste to the top, and eliminates minor imperfections left by screeding. This step creates a denser, more durable surface and prepares it for any subsequent finishing (like troweling) or for a natural, slightly textured finish. https://www.youtube.com/embed/GXFWqFxfmnw 14 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/my-biggest-lessons-learned-v1229829 2026-10-22T19:44:02.551Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WZLT_7Q9xwo/hqdefault.jpg my biggest lessons learned This video presents 10 valuable insights and best practices derived from 11 years of professional experience in designing outdoor living spaces.

First, attach a small, flat metal plate to one end of the wooden block using a DeWalt 20V XR impact driver and two screws, ensuring it's flush with the top and side. Next, measure and mark a specific length on the wooden block using a tape measure and pencil. Use a speed square to draw a precise, straight line across the marked point for a clean cut. Carefully cut the wooden block along this line using a DeWalt circular saw. A hand saw might be necessary to finish any cuts the circular saw cannot reach due to depth limitations or if you need to create a notch. Finally, secure a second, U-shaped metal bracket or another flat metal plate to the newly cut end of the wooden block, again using the DeWalt 20V XR impact driver and screws. This creates a stable guide with distinct ends for tracing. https://www.youtube.com/embed/QJKOo2ZUBOM 29 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/simple-jigs-are-the-best-jigs-v1229830/transfer-curved-edge-to-pavers-using-jig-and-string-c3583540 2026-10-22T19:43:37.393Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QJKOo2ZUBOM/hqdefault.jpg Transfer Curved Edge to Pavers Using Jig and String — Simple jigs are the best jigs 🤓 With the custom jig ready, position one end (typically the side with the flat metal plate) against the existing curved landscape edge or wall. Thread a pencil or marker through the U-shaped bracket on the other end of the jig, or simply hold it against that end. Attach a long string (e.g., from a chalk line reel) to the pencil/marker. While keeping the string taut, slide the jig along the entire length of the curved edge. As you slide, the pencil will draw a continuous, accurate curved line onto the pavers, precisely mirroring the contour of the landscape feature. This marked line indicates exactly where each paver needs to be cut to fit perfectly. https://www.youtube.com/embed/QJKOo2ZUBOM 13 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/dont-fall-in-the-pond-v1229831 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZoIupCMu_0M/hqdefault.jpg Don't fall in the pond 🫠 This video demonstrates the initial layout and marking phase for creating a garden walkway, specifically focusing on establishing the path's trajectory and central line across a garden area that includes a pond.

The process involves spreading the dry sand, sweeping it thoroughly into the paver gaps, meticulously cleaning any residual sand from the paver surfaces, and finally, carefully wetting the sand to activate its binding properties. This results in a stable, durable, and weed-resistant paved surface. https://www.youtube.com/embed/dY9BU4lommo 55 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/the-tool-i-never-knew-i-needed-hardscape-pavers-v1229857/apply-and-distribute-polymeric-sand-c3587461 2026-10-22T19:46:47.526Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dY9BU4lommo/hqdefault.jpg Apply and Distribute Polymeric Sand — The tool I never knew I needed 🤯 #hardscape #pavers Begin the process by carefully pouring polymeric sand directly from its plastic bag onto the completely dry surface of the pavers. Ensure the sand is distributed somewhat evenly across the area you are working on. Immediately after pouring, use a wide, stiff-bristled push broom to spread the sand across the paver surface. Sweep the sand back and forth and in multiple directions to ensure it falls and settles into all the cracks and joints between the pavers. Continue sweeping until the joints appear visibly filled and there's a thin, uniform layer of sand remaining on the paver surface. https://www.youtube.com/embed/dY9BU4lommo 7 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/the-tool-i-never-knew-i-needed-hardscape-pavers-v1229857/consolidate-and-clear-excess-dry-sand-c3587462 2026-10-22T19:46:47.526Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dY9BU4lommo/hqdefault.jpg Consolidate and Clear Excess Dry Sand — The tool I never knew I needed 🤯 #hardscape #pavers After the initial fill, continue to sweep the polymeric sand across the paver surface using the push broom. This continuous sweeping action helps to further work and settle the sand deep into the joints, ensuring they are tightly packed. The sweeping also serves to remove any significant excess polymeric sand from the top surface of the pavers. It's crucial at this stage to get the paver surface as clean as possible, as any sand left on top will harden and create a film. While not shown in this specific video, for larger projects, some professionals may use a plate compactor with a rubber mat at this stage to vibrate the sand deeper into the joints, followed by a final sweep. https://www.youtube.com/embed/dY9BU4lommo 20 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/the-tool-i-never-knew-i-needed-hardscape-pavers-v1229857/wet-and-activate-polymeric-sand-c3587463 2026-10-22T19:46:47.526Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dY9BU4lommo/hqdefault.jpg Wet and Activate Polymeric Sand — The tool I never knew I needed 🤯 #hardscape #pavers This is the most crucial step: wetting the polymeric sand to activate its binding agents. Attach a spray nozzle to a garden hose and set it to a gentle shower or mist setting. Begin by lightly wetting a small section of the pavers. The video demonstrates an effective technique where water is sprayed onto the bristles of a broom (possibly a specialized broom with water channels, or a standard broom used carefully), which then helps to direct the water precisely into the joints. Gently sweep with the wet broom across the wet areas, ensuring the water deeply penetrates all the way down into the joints, fully saturating the sand without washing it out. Continue this controlled wetting and gentle sweeping process over the entire paved area. Observe the joints to ensure they are thoroughly wet, and the sand is fully compacted and saturated. Watch for any puddling on the paver surface; if water pools, gently sweep it away to prevent potential staining or white haze. https://www.youtube.com/embed/dY9BU4lommo 24 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/if-you-are-going-to-frame-it-make-sure-its-prowood-v1229858 2026-10-22T19:41:04.847Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/1vAL-1lIiK8/hqdefault.jpg If you are going to frame it, make sure its prowood 😎 This project outlines the foundational steps for constructing a robust wooden deck frame using pressure-treated lumber.

The carpenter meticulously stacks several pieces of dimensional lumber, likely 2x lumber (e.g., 2x10s or 2x12s), making sure their ends are perfectly aligned. This preparation is critical for 'gang-cutting', a technique that allows for multiple boards to be cut simultaneously to the exact same length, significantly improving efficiency and precision in framing. https://www.youtube.com/embed/t_bO6i-LPCg no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/name-someone-more-precise-than-tony-i-dare-you-v1229898/mark-cut-line-with-framing-square-c3585049 2026-10-22T19:29:33.886Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/t_bO6i-LPCg/hqdefault.jpg Mark Cut Line with Framing Square — Name someone more precise than Tony, I dare you... Once the lumber is stacked and aligned, the carpenter places a framing square (or speed square, though a larger framing square is ideal for wide stacks) across the top face of the outermost board, ensuring the square's edge creates a perpendicular line to the length of the boards. A marking tool, such as a carpenter's pencil, is then used to draw a clear line along the square's edge, transferring this precise mark to all stacked boards. This line indicates where the gang-cut will be made. https://www.youtube.com/embed/t_bO6i-LPCg 1 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/name-someone-more-precise-than-tony-i-dare-you-v1229898/scribe-additional-layout-marks-optional-c3585050 2026-10-22T19:29:33.886Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/t_bO6i-LPCg/hqdefault.jpg Scribe Additional Layout Marks (Optional) — Name someone more precise than Tony, I dare you... The carpenter then uses a smaller marking tool, possibly a combination square or a specialized scribe, to draw a second line parallel to the initial cut line. This could serve multiple purposes, such as delineating the waste side more clearly, marking for specific joinery, or indicating a future component's position. This step further refines the layout for precision. https://www.youtube.com/embed/t_bO6i-LPCg 2 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/name-someone-more-precise-than-tony-i-dare-you-v1229898/gangcut-lumber-with-circular-saw-c3585051 2026-10-22T19:29:33.886Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/t_bO6i-LPCg/hqdefault.jpg Gang-Cut Lumber with Circular Saw — Name someone more precise than Tony, I dare you... With the lumber stacked and marked, the carpenter uses a circular saw to cut precisely along the established line. This technique, known as gang-cutting, allows for simultaneous cutting of several boards. The saw's blade depth is set to cut through the entire stack, or multiple passes are made if the stack is too thick. This method is highly efficient for producing uniform joists or other framing components, saving significant time compared to cutting each board individually. Care is taken to maintain a steady hand and guide the saw accurately along the line. https://www.youtube.com/embed/t_bO6i-LPCg 11 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/name-someone-more-precise-than-tony-i-dare-you-v1229898/fasten-cut-lumber-to-structure-c3585052 2026-10-22T19:29:33.886Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/t_bO6i-LPCg/hqdefault.jpg Fasten Cut Lumber to Structure — Name someone more precise than Tony, I dare you... Once the lumber pieces are precisely cut to length, the carpenter transitions to assembling the structure. Each cut piece is lifted and positioned against a main structural member, such as a ledger board or rim joist, which is likely already anchored. A pneumatic framing nailer is then used to rapidly and securely fasten the joist to the ledger. This method provides strong connections quickly, advancing the structural framing process. The video shows the joists being installed at even intervals, typical of floor or deck framing. https://www.youtube.com/embed/t_bO6i-LPCg 4 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/well-its-officially-october-so-welcome-to-spooky-season-its-contest-v1229899 2026-10-22T19:27:38.300Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/SxrH2tN-czk/hqdefault.jpg Well its officially October so WELCOME TO SPOOKY SEASON!

Identify areas that naturally provide deep shadow, cluttered space, or structural elements behind which a large 'pest' prop, animatronic, or even an actor in a creature costume can hide completely. The goal is to create an environment where the 'pest' is entirely out of sight until the moment of the scare. Consider using existing architectural features like doorways (as seen with the porta-potty or van in the video), piles of debris (like the ghillie suit scare), or large props (like the toolbox or pergola area) as potential hiding spots.

ITS CO Based on your chosen concealment point, position your 'pest' entity. If using an animatronic, ensure it is securely mounted and its activation mechanism is within easy reach or can be triggered remotely. If using an actor in a creature costume, instruct them on the precise location to hide, how to maintain complete invisibility until the cue, and the optimal posture for a sudden lunge. For dynamic props like a large fake spider or rat on a spring mechanism, ensure it is compressed and secured, ready to spring out. The examples in the video show people hiding in various spots like behind a pergola, inside a van, within a pile of debris (ghillie suit), a porta-potty, and a large storage container. These demonstrate the need for the 'pest' to fit snugly and be completely unnoticeable until triggered.

The project begins with setting the foundation posts for the A-frame roof structure. In this scenario, the roof is being built over an existing deck, which has been designed to support the additional load. For standalone structures, dedicated footings would be required for each post. The video shows installing 6x6 posts into metal base connectors on top of the deck's main beams. Crucially, these posts must be braced in both directions (diagonally) to ensure they remain plumb and stable while measurements are taken and beams are installed. https://www.youtube.com/embed/nTaUn6MQrO4 53 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/roof-framing-math-made-simple-v1229928/install-main-beams-c2315971 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nTaUn6MQrO4/hqdefault.jpg Install Main Beams — Roof Framing Math Made SIMPLE! With the posts securely in place, the main horizontal beams are installed. For this 20x20 roof structure, three 5.5x12 LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) beams are used: two along the eaves (the lower edges of the roof) and one across the gable end. Due to the size and weight of these larger beams, a lift is employed to safely raise and position them atop the posts. Once a beam is on a post, it is connected using metal straps to ensure a solid and stable connection, capable of handling the roof's load. https://www.youtube.com/embed/nTaUn6MQrO4 45 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/roof-framing-math-made-simple-v1229928/calculate-rafter-measurements-c2315972 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nTaUn6MQrO4/hqdefault.jpg Calculate Rafter Measurements — Roof Framing Math Made SIMPLE! Accurate calculation of roof rafter measurements is crucial. The expert explains how to determine the 'adjusted run' and 'rise' for a gable roof. Starting with the overall width of the building (20 feet), subtract the thickness of the ridge material (1.5 inches for a 2x material) to account for where the rafters meet. Divide this by two since a rafter only covers half the roof, resulting in the adjusted run (e.g., 9 feet 11.25 inches). Using a construction calculator, input this adjusted run along with the desired roof pitch (e.g., 3/12) to find the 'rise' (e.g., 2 feet 5 13/16 inches). This rise indicates the vertical distance from the top of the beam to the top of the rafter at the ridge. https://www.youtube.com/embed/nTaUn6MQrO4 119 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/roof-framing-math-made-simple-v1229928/layout-pattern-rafter-c2315973 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nTaUn6MQrO4/hqdefault.jpg Layout Pattern Rafter — Roof Framing Math Made SIMPLE! Once the calculations are complete, the next step is to lay out the cuts on a pattern rafter. Begin by marking the 'plum cut' at the top end of the rafter board. This cut will sit against the ridge board. Using a speed square set to the roof's pitch (e.g., 3 on the common rafter scale for a 3/12 pitch), align the pivot point of the square with the top edge of the rafter and mark the angle. Then, from the plum cut, measure out the 'run' (e.g., 10 feet 2 5/16 inches) along the rafter board. At this point, mark the 'bird's mouth' cut, which is a notch that allows the rafter to sit flush on the top plate or beam. The bird's mouth consists of a 'seat cut' (horizontal) and a 'heel cut' (vertical). The depth of the bird's mouth is determined by the 'Height Above Plate' (H.A.P.) measurement (e.g., 6 1/4 inches), which is the vertical distance from the bottom of the rafter to the top of the beam. A second speed square or rafter square can be used for precise marking of the bird's mouth. Finally, mark the 'soffit' or overhang. For a 12-inch overhang, measure 12 inches past the bird's mouth, then subtract the thickness of the sub-fascia (e.g., 1.5 inches for a 2x material) to mark the final plum cut for the fascia board. https://www.youtube.com/embed/nTaUn6MQrO4 154 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/roof-framing-math-made-simple-v1229928/cut-pattern-rafter-c2315974 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nTaUn6MQrO4/hqdefault.jpg Cut Pattern Rafter — Roof Framing Math Made SIMPLE! With all the necessary lines marked on the pattern rafter, proceed to cut the rafter using appropriate power tools. A circular saw is used for the long, straight cuts of the plum cuts and the seat cut of the bird's mouth. For the intricate heel cut of the bird's mouth, which typically cannot be completed with a circular saw, a jigsaw is used to finish the cut. Ensure all cuts are clean and precise to guarantee a good fit during installation. This precisely cut rafter will serve as a template for all subsequent rafters. https://www.youtube.com/embed/nTaUn6MQrO4 61 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/roof-framing-math-made-simple-v1229928/set-ridge-beam-c2315975 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nTaUn6MQrO4/hqdefault.jpg Set Ridge Beam — Roof Framing Math Made SIMPLE! After cutting the pattern rafter, the main ridge beam (or ridge rafter, depending on terminology and material used) is installed. To do this, establish a perfectly level line between the two main beams of the roof structure. From this level line, measure up the 'total rise' (the calculated rise plus the height above plate, for example, 3 feet 1 1/16 inches) to determine the exact height for the top of the ridge. Once the height is determined, the ridge beam is lifted into place and temporarily braced. One end can be supported by a 2x brace against the house, while the other end uses a temporary brace that ensures the ridge beam is plumb and centered. This temporary support is critical for stability before the main rafters are installed. https://www.youtube.com/embed/nTaUn6MQrO4 81 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/roof-framing-math-made-simple-v1229928/install-remaining-rafters-c2315976 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nTaUn6MQrO4/hqdefault.jpg Install Remaining Rafters — Roof Framing Math Made SIMPLE! With the ridge beam temporarily set, use the previously cut pattern rafter to cut all remaining rafters. Once cut, install each rafter one by one, ensuring a snug and accurate fit between the main beams and the ridge beam. Each rafter should be secured with appropriate fasteners (e.g., hurricane clips, nails, or screws) according to local building codes. Work systematically, typically from one end to the other, to ensure consistent spacing (e.g., 16 inches on center) and proper alignment. Periodically check for plumb and squareness to maintain the structural integrity of the roof. https://www.youtube.com/embed/nTaUn6MQrO4 11 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/roof-framing-math-made-simple-v1229928/install-roof-sheathing-c2315977 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/nTaUn6MQrO4/hqdefault.jpg Install Roof Sheathing — Roof Framing Math Made SIMPLE! The final structural step is to install the roof sheathing. The video suggests using plywood (e.g., half-inch thickness) over Oriented Strand Board (OSB) for increased sturdiness, especially with rafters spaced at 16 inches on center. Lay the plywood sheets across the installed rafters, ensuring that the edges meet precisely on a rafter. Secure the sheathing to the rafters using nails or screws. This creates a solid deck for the subsequent roofing materials and completes the primary structural component of the roof. https://www.youtube.com/embed/nTaUn6MQrO4 23 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/pavers-are-heavy-be-smart-about-moving-them-v1229929 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/oYYayw8a-N8/hqdefault.jpg Pavers are heavy.

The presenter explains that a ledger-attached deck, when feasible (e.g., directly below a door threshold meeting the house's band board), is often preferred because it eliminates the need for an additional row of footings near the house, saving money and time. More importantly, it provides superior lateral stability by connecting to the house's foundation, stiffening the entire structure. The process of attaching the ledger board is briefly shown, involving flashing and bolting it to the house's band board. https://www.youtube.com/embed/yxIy2u2rt1E 142 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/why-most-diy-deck-frames-fail-and-how-to-succeed-v1229940/understanding-deck-loads-c3714820 2026-10-22T22:53:17.319Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yxIy2u2rt1E/hqdefault.jpg Understanding Deck Loads — Why Most DIY Deck Frames Fail (And How to Succeed) This step covers the crucial aspect of understanding the various loads a deck must support to ensure structural integrity and safety. It distinguishes between 'live load' and 'dead load'. For most residential decks, building codes and charts are based on a total load of 50 pounds per square foot (PSF), with 40 PSF for live load and 10 PSF for dead load. Live load encompasses temporary forces like wind, weather, and people moving on the deck. Dead load refers to the permanent weight of the deck structure itself, furniture, and any fixed items. Special consideration must be given to heavy items like hot tubs, which require additional, dedicated footings. It is recommended to consult with an engineer or architect if there are any questions regarding specific load requirements, especially for non-standard items. https://www.youtube.com/embed/yxIy2u2rt1E 81 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/why-most-diy-deck-frames-fail-and-how-to-succeed-v1229940/footing-options-concrete-vs-helical-piles-c3714821 2026-10-22T22:53:17.319Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yxIy2u2rt1E/hqdefault.jpg Footing Options: Concrete vs. Helical Piles — Why Most DIY Deck Frames Fail (And How to Succeed) This step discusses the two primary types of footings used for decks: concrete footings and helical piles. Concrete footings involve digging a hole to the required frost depth (which varies by location, e.g., 32 inches in the video's location, but could be 12 inches to 5 feet elsewhere), having it inspected, and then pouring concrete, often using a cardboard sonotube as a form. The cost for a single concrete footing can be around $56 (e.g., $20 for a sonotube and $36 for 6 bags of concrete) plus labor for digging and waiting for inspections/curing. Helical piles are long steel shafts with a helical blade that are drilled into the ground to a specific torque. They are quicker to install (hours vs. days for concrete) and don't require a footing inspection because their installation to a certified torque guarantees bearing capacity. While more expensive upfront (around $275-$350 per pile installed), they save time and provide more certainty regarding load-bearing capacity, especially in areas with unsettled or over-dug soil, where concrete footings might settle over time. https://www.youtube.com/embed/yxIy2u2rt1E 266 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/why-most-diy-deck-frames-fail-and-how-to-succeed-v1229940/deck-framing-material-choices-c3714824 2026-10-22T22:53:17.319Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yxIy2u2rt1E/hqdefault.jpg Deck Framing Material Choices — Why Most DIY Deck Frames Fail (And How to Succeed) This segment explores various materials available for deck framing, moving beyond traditional pressure-treated lumber. Options include steel, composite framing, LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber), and the classic pressure-treated lumber. While steel and composite offer advantages like longer spans or specific aesthetics, they are significantly more expensive (5 to 10 times the price of pressure-treated lumber for composite) and may require different tools and fastening techniques, leading to a steeper learning curve for DIYers. The presenter highlights 'ProWood' pressure-treated lumber as a reliable and cost-effective choice, being a 'tried and true' material with a known lifespan and easy accessibility. Despite newer options, pressure-treated lumber remains a popular and practical choice, especially for first-time builders. https://www.youtube.com/embed/yxIy2u2rt1E 127 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/why-most-diy-deck-frames-fail-and-how-to-succeed-v1229940/beams-and-joist-sizing-c3714825 2026-10-22T22:53:17.319Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yxIy2u2rt1E/hqdefault.jpg Beams and Joist Sizing — Why Most DIY Deck Frames Fail (And How to Succeed) Beams are critical structural components that connect footings and support the joists. The size of the beams depends on several factors, including the available clearance (especially for low-to-the-ground decks), the number of footings, and the desired span length. To create stronger beams, 'laminating' multiple pieces of lumber is common; for example, three 2x10s can be laminated together to form a very sturdy beam. Joists are supported by these beams and determine the deck's surface. Similar to beams, joist sizing (e.g., 2x6, 2x8, 2x10, 2x12) and spacing (12, 16, or 24 inches on-center) are dictated by load requirements, lumber species, and span tables. Online calculators and span tables are readily available to help determine the correct sizes and spacing. The presenter prefers using 2x10s for both beams (laminated) and joists (12 inches on-center) for consistency and a stiffer structure, especially when using composite decking, even if not strictly mandatory by the manufacturer. https://www.youtube.com/embed/yxIy2u2rt1E 68 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/why-most-diy-deck-frames-fail-and-how-to-succeed-v1229940/code-compliance-zoning-railings-stairs-c3714826 2026-10-22T22:53:17.319Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yxIy2u2rt1E/hqdefault.jpg Code Compliance (Zoning, Railings, Stairs) — Why Most DIY Deck Frames Fail (And How to Succeed) Adhering to local building codes is paramount for any deck project to avoid costly demolition or modifications. This step emphasizes the importance of understanding and complying with regulations concerning zoning permits and construction permits. Zoning permits ensure the deck is allowed in its proposed location, as many properties have setback rules. Construction permits involve submitting detailed plans, which are reviewed for compliance with structural requirements (spans, lumber choice, etc.). Specific code requirements for railings and stairs are highlighted: decks over 30 inches above grade typically require a handrail around the perimeter. Riser height for stairs must be consistent, with a maximum variance of 3/8 of an inch between risers. For instance, a 7-inch riser height with four risers would put a deck at 28 inches, technically below the 30-inch railing requirement, but a graspable handrail would still be needed for the stairs. It is advised to avoid situations where only a stair railing is required if possible, as it can look visually awkward. Always plan for railings during the framing stage, ensuring solid blocking underneath for proper attachment. https://www.youtube.com/embed/yxIy2u2rt1E 237 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/know-the-difference-v1229942 2026-10-22T19:28:39.081Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VR-ITdulmEg/hqdefault.jpg Know the difference!

To clarify what makes glue lam different, the presenter explains that an alternative, Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL), is made from very thin wood veneers. These veneers are laminated, often cross-laminated, and glued together vertically. This process creates a beam with layers of thin sheets of wood, resulting in a different structural property and appearance compared to a glue lam beam. https://www.youtube.com/embed/VR-ITdulmEg 18 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/know-the-difference-v1229942/examine-glue-lam-beam-construction-c3584904 2026-10-22T19:28:39.081Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VR-ITdulmEg/hqdefault.jpg Examine Glue Lam Beam Construction — Know the difference!

A worker, wearing safety glasses and a bandana, is positioned near the receiving end of the beam, ready to guide it. The receiving end of the beam is directed towards a pre-installed metal beam hanger (possibly a Simpson Strong-Tie or similar heavy-duty hanger) that is securely fastened to the top of a substantial wooden post, which also appears to be treated lumber. The worker carefully guides the beam horizontally, ensuring it aligns perfectly with the U-shaped channel of the metal hanger. Verbal communication with the lift operator is crucial at this stage, with instructions like 'Go up a little more' and 'Walk it out slowly' being exchanged to achieve precise horizontal alignment. The beam is slowly maneuvered until it is fully inserted into the hanger horizontally. Once horizontal alignment is confirmed ('I'm in'), the instruction 'Let it down' is given. The mechanical lift then slowly and steadily lowers the beam vertically, allowing it to settle completely into the bottom of the beam hanger. This precise final placement ensures the beam is fully supported by the post and ready for subsequent fastening. https://www.youtube.com/embed/TCAdqY-BDb8 37 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/epic-backyard-transformation-time-lapse-custom-deck-and-paver-patio-v1229971 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/T2eYMdFMzx8/hqdefault.jpg EPIC Backyard TRANSFORMATION Time Lapse - Custom Deck and Paver Patio This project details the comprehensive installation of a sleek, modern interlocking paver patio, integrated with a multi-level composite deck, outdoor kitchen, pergola, and thoughtful landscaping.

Yeah, we are still saying that! The video begins by showcasing a heavy-duty metal plate that serves as a crucial connection point in the structural framing. This plate is explicitly shown being lagged (secured with lag bolts) directly into a triple beam. The fastening process for these lag bolts would typically involve pre-drilling pilot holes, then driving the bolts in with a powerful tool such as an impact driver or a heavy-duty drill equipped with a socket bit. The video clarifies that this specific connection is designed to carry the significant load from an overhead support post, emphasizing the importance of secure and robust fastening methods for primary structural members. While the context is nail guns, this particular fastening is done with lag bolts for enhanced strength. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ca0iz3XL6xA 13 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/locked-in-for-justice-yeah-we-are-still-saying-that-v1229992/examine-wall-bracket-for-beam-load-transfer-c3585017 2026-10-22T19:31:00.082Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ca0iz3XL6xA/hqdefault.jpg Examine Wall Bracket for Beam Load Transfer — Locked in for justice. Yeah, we are still saying that! The video then shifts focus to another critical structural component: a metal wall bracket positioned lower on the framing. This bracket is designed to manage the load from a horizontal beam, directing it downwards. The explanation details that this bracket facilitates the transfer of the beam's load directly into a vertical support post. Such brackets are commonly used in structural framing to create strong, rigid connections between different framing members, ensuring that forces are safely distributed and carried by the structural system. These brackets are typically secured to both the beam and the post using appropriate fasteners such as structural screws, bolts, or heavy-gauge nails, often driven by framing nail guns or impact drivers depending on the fastener type. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ca0iz3XL6xA 8 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/locked-in-for-justice-yeah-we-are-still-saying-that-v1229992/trace-load-path-to-ledger-and-foundation-c3585020 2026-10-22T19:31:00.082Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ca0iz3XL6xA/hqdefault.jpg Trace Load Path to Ledger and Foundation — Locked in for justice. Yeah, we are still saying that! The video concludes by explaining the complete load path for the structural elements shown. It highlights that the load from the beam, efficiently channeled by the wall bracket, is not solely transferred into the house's ledger board (the main horizontal board attached to the house frame). Crucially, the system includes an additional support underneath the connection. This underlying support ensures that the structural load bypasses potential weaknesses and is directed straight down into the robust foundation of the house. This comprehensive load transfer strategy is fundamental in structural framing, ensuring stability, durability, and safety by correctly distributing all forces to the ground. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ca0iz3XL6xA 8 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/classic-before-and-rafter-situation-v1229993 2026-10-22T19:31:07.421Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/G_7HrsaJDSU/hqdefault.jpg Classic before and rafter situation...

Before installation, each rafter needs to be precisely cut according to the roof's pitch and design specifications. This involves marking and cutting the plumb cut where the rafter meets the ridge beam, the birdsmouth cut where it rests on the wall plate, and the tail cut for the eave overhang. A circular saw is the primary tool used for these precise angular and straight cuts, ensuring that each rafter fits correctly and contributes to the structural integrity of the roof. https://www.youtube.com/embed/G_7HrsaJDSU 15 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/classic-before-and-rafter-situation-v1229993/set-ridge-beam-and-install-initial-rafters-c3585210 2026-10-22T19:31:07.421Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/G_7HrsaJDSU/hqdefault.jpg Set Ridge Beam and Install Initial Rafters — Classic before and rafter situation... The ridge beam serves as the highest structural component of the roof, providing the primary attachment point for the top ends of all common rafters. It is crucial for this beam to be perfectly level, straight, and properly supported. Once the ridge beam is secured, the initial rafters (or 'fly rafters') are installed at the ends of the roof frame. These first rafters are securely fastened to both the ridge beam and the wall plate, setting the foundational geometry and pitch for the entire roof structure. This step ensures that subsequent rafter installations align correctly. https://www.youtube.com/embed/G_7HrsaJDSU 4 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/classic-before-and-rafter-situation-v1229993/install-all-rafters-with-precision-alignment-c3585211 2026-10-22T19:31:07.421Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/G_7HrsaJDSU/hqdefault.jpg Install All Rafters with Precision Alignment — Classic before and rafter situation... Following the installation of the ridge beam and initial rafters, the remaining common rafters are installed. Each rafter must be precisely spaced (e.g., 16 or 24 inches on center) and securely fastened to both the ridge beam at the top and the wall plates at the bottom. To achieve 'exact rafter alignments' and ensure the roof surface is 'nice and true' for sheathing, a rotary laser level or cross-line laser is highly recommended. The laser projects a perfectly straight and level line across the rafter tops, allowing carpenters to quickly verify and adjust each rafter for consistent height and alignment before fastening them with a nail gun. This method significantly enhances precision and uniformity across the entire roof plane. https://www.youtube.com/embed/G_7HrsaJDSU 9 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/classic-before-and-rafter-situation-v1229993/attach-fascia-boards-c3585212 2026-10-22T19:31:07.421Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/G_7HrsaJDSU/hqdefault.jpg Attach Fascia Boards — Classic before and rafter situation... Fascia boards, typically made from 1x or 2x lumber (or sometimes PVC), are installed horizontally along the outermost ends of the rafter tails. These boards serve multiple purposes: they protect the rafter ends from weather exposure, provide a clean, finished appearance to the roof's edge, and offer a solid surface for attaching rain gutters and soffit panels. It is important to ensure the fascia boards are straight, flush with the rafter ends, and securely fastened. https://www.youtube.com/embed/G_7HrsaJDSU 6 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/classic-before-and-rafter-situation-v1229993/install-roof-sheathing-c3585213 2026-10-22T19:31:07.421Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/G_7HrsaJDSU/hqdefault.jpg Install Roof Sheathing — Classic before and rafter situation... Once all rafters are installed and the fascia boards are in place, the roof structure is ready for sheathing. This typically involves using 4x8-foot sheets of plywood or OSB (Oriented Strand Board). The sheathing panels are laid perpendicular to the rafters, starting from the bottom edge of the roof and working upwards towards the ridge, ensuring that all joints are staggered for structural strength. The panels are securely nailed to each rafter using a nail gun, adhering to specific nailing patterns (e.g., nails every 6 inches along the edges and every 12 inches in the field) as required by local building codes. This creates a robust, continuous surface that adds structural rigidity to the roof and provides a smooth base for subsequent roofing layers like underlayment and shingles. https://www.youtube.com/embed/G_7HrsaJDSU 17 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/lets-talk-hardscape-design-v1229994 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/3vHAqt3xMx8/hqdefault.jpg Lets talk hardscape design!!

A frequent problem arises when an appropriate cutting tool, such as a utility knife or snips, is not immediately at hand for each strap that needs to be removed. This situation can lead to delays or frustration as workers search for a tool or struggle to break the straps by hand. https://www.youtube.com/embed/b7LUUWBM-f0 4 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/i-dont-know-maybe-you-immediately-lose-your-knife-right-after-cutting-v1230003/execute-strap-twisting-technique-c3583730 2026-10-22T19:29:29.869Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/b7LUUWBM-f0/hqdefault.jpg Execute Strap Twisting Technique — I don't know, maybe you immediately lose your knife right after c To efficiently remove additional plastic packaging straps from a bundle without a dedicated cutting tool, first ensure that there is enough slack or a starting point (e.g., from a previously cut strap) to manipulate the strap. Grasp the strap firmly with both hands at a point where you can apply significant rotational force. Begin twisting the strap vigorously and continuously in the same direction. The repeated twisting action will apply torsion and stress to the plastic material, causing it to weaken and eventually snap or break cleanly, allowing it to be easily removed from the bundled materials. This method exploits the inherent properties of plastic under twisting stress. https://www.youtube.com/embed/b7LUUWBM-f0 16 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/i-dont-know-maybe-you-immediately-lose-your-knife-right-after-cutting-v1230003/acknowledge-initial-tool-requirement-c3583745 2026-10-22T19:29:29.869Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/b7LUUWBM-f0/hqdefault.jpg Acknowledge Initial Tool Requirement — I don't know, maybe you immediately lose your knife right aft Although the twisting and breaking method is highly effective for rapidly removing multiple plastic straps once a bundle is partially opened, it's important to remember its limitation. The initial strap securing a tightly packed bundle is typically under high tension and lacks the necessary slack or flexibility to be easily twisted and broken without a starting point. Therefore, always plan to have a knife, snips, or another appropriate cutting tool available to make the first cut on a new bundle, after which the demonstrated twisting technique can be employed for the remaining straps. https://www.youtube.com/embed/b7LUUWBM-f0 2 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/the-magic-between-an-inlay-and-a-track-saw-v1230004 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/W75Vc7S7Jng/hqdefault.jpg The magic between an inlay and a track saw 😎🪄.

This step details the process of securely fastening roof sheathing, typically plywood panels, to the underlying roof framing elements, which include rafters and the ridge beam, using a framing nail gun. The video highlights a particular construction method where metal hurricane straps (rafter-to-rafter strapping) are installed *underneath* the sheathing, as specified by the building plans to enhance structural integrity and eliminate the need for traditional tie-down connectors. To allow for proper fastening of the sheathing without interfering with these underlying straps, the sheathing panels are installed with a slight offset. This strategic offset creates enough space for the carpenter to effectively 'toe-nail' the sheathing. A framing nail gun, specifically a Bostitch model, is shown being used to drive nails at an angle through the edge of the sheathing and securely into the side of the wooden rafter members. Similarly, along the roof's ridge, where sheathing panels converge, the technique of toe-nailing is again employed to fasten the sheathing into the side of the ridge beam across its entire length. This ensures a robust connection of the roof sheathing to the primary framing members, adhering to both the structural requirements of the strapping and the sheathing installation. https://www.youtube.com/embed/lRAPyCOJWcg 18 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/this-thing-isnt-going-anywhere-locked-in-for-justice-for-sure-v1230008 2026-10-22T19:31:08.877Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NVK2ld3k37E/hqdefault.jpg This thing isn't going ANYWHERE!

Workers measure, cut, and fasten these joists to the ledger board attached to the house and to the outer beam(s) or rim joists. This establishes the basic rectangular or curvilinear shape of the deck's subframe. The joists are typically spaced 12 or 16 inches on center, depending on the decking material and load requirements, ensuring a strong foundation for the deck surface. https://www.youtube.com/embed/NVK2ld3k37E 6 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/this-thing-isnt-going-anywhere-locked-in-for-justice-for-sure-v1230008/frame-inlay-perimeter-c3583797 2026-10-22T19:31:08.877Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NVK2ld3k37E/hqdefault.jpg Frame Inlay Perimeter — This thing isn't going ANYWHERE! Locked in for justice for sure!! With the main joists in place, the next step is to precisely define the perimeter of the planned deck inlay. This involves cutting shorter pieces of pressure-treated lumber, often referred to as blocking or infill joists, and securing them perpendicular or parallel between the existing main joists. These pieces are carefully measured and cut to create the desired square or rectangular outline for the inlay feature. This step requires accurate measurements and secure fastening to form a robust boundary for the inlay, ensuring its dimensions are precise. https://www.youtube.com/embed/NVK2ld3k37E 11 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/this-thing-isnt-going-anywhere-locked-in-for-justice-for-sure-v1230008/install-inlay-interior-joists-c3583798 2026-10-22T19:31:08.877Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NVK2ld3k37E/hqdefault.jpg Install Inlay Interior Joists — This thing isn't going ANYWHERE! Locked in for justice for sure!! After the inlay perimeter is framed, additional structural blocking and short joists are installed within this defined area. These interior framing members serve multiple purposes: they provide essential support for the deck boards that will be laid in a unique pattern (e.g., diagonally) within the inlay, and they also act as solid fastening points. These pieces are cut to fit snugly and are securely fastened to the perimeter framing and any intersecting main joists. This intricate framing ensures the inlay section is robust, properly supported, and ready for the distinctive decking. https://www.youtube.com/embed/NVK2ld3k37E 10 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/this-thing-isnt-going-anywhere-locked-in-for-justice-for-sure-v1230008/apply-joist-tape-prepare-decking-c3583800 2026-10-22T19:31:08.877Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NVK2ld3k37E/hqdefault.jpg Apply Joist Tape & Prepare Decking — This thing isn't going ANYWHERE! Locked in for justice for sure Before installing the deck boards, a protective layer of joist tape (e.g., Trex Protect, DeckWise, or similar bitumen-based tape) is applied to the top surface of all the joists and blocking. This self-sealing, waterproof tape prevents moisture from accumulating between the decking and the wooden joists, which helps to protect the lumber from rot and extend the lifespan of the deck substructure. Following this, the chosen deck boards (e.g., composite, PVC, or pressure-treated wood) are brought onto the deck frame and strategically laid out, ready for installation. https://www.youtube.com/embed/NVK2ld3k37E 20 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/this-thing-isnt-going-anywhere-locked-in-for-justice-for-sure-v1230008/install-main-decking-c3583801 2026-10-22T19:31:08.877Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/NVK2ld3k37E/hqdefault.jpg Install Main Decking — This thing isn't going ANYWHERE!

Begin by constructing the wooden forms for the concrete base of the built-in benches and fire pit area. Use lumber (e.g., 2x4s) to create the desired shapes and secure them in place. Once the forms are set, lay rebar (reinforcing bar) in a grid pattern within the forms. Use rebar tie tools to secure the rebar intersections and place rebar chairs underneath to ensure the rebar is elevated within the concrete pour, maximizing its strengthening effect. For this project, fiberglass rebar is used. After the rebar is in place, pour wet concrete into the forms using a wheelbarrow to transport it from the 'Artistic Concrete' truck. Use a rake to spread the concrete evenly and a vibrator to remove air bubbles, ensuring the concrete fills all corners and voids around the rebar. https://www.youtube.com/embed/-lNALrSJdsE 205 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/paver-patio-laying-big-slabs-v1230049/construct-and-clad-builtin-benches-c3714883 2026-10-22T22:40:28.207Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-lNALrSJdsE/hqdefault.jpg Construct and Clad Built-in Benches — Paver Patio - Laying BIG SLABS!

When designing a paver patio, especially with free-form elements, consider integrating different paver shapes and sizes to add visual interest and flow. For this project, a combination of Nicolock TileStone (6x24 inches) for circular features, Nicolock Alpine Contemporary (24x36 inches) for the main patio, and mosaic pavers for the outer curved borders were used. Using mosaic pavers in curved inlays can significantly minimize the number of cuts needed, as their irregular shapes naturally fit curves. Aim for a consistent color palette (e.g., shades of gray and black) across different paver types to maintain a cohesive and natural look, even with varied textures and patterns. For functional seating around a fire pit, maintain a distance of approximately 24 inches (2 feet) between the edge of the seating and the fire pit. This allows for comfortable movement and safety without being too far from the warmth of the fire. https://www.youtube.com/embed/-lNALrSJdsE 150 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/paver-patio-laying-big-slabs-v1230049/advanced-paver-installation-with-machinery-and-large-slabs-c3714890 2026-10-22T22:40:28.207Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-lNALrSJdsE/hqdefault.jpg Advanced Paver Installation with Machinery and Large Slabs — Paver Patio - Laying BIG SLABS!

With all pavers now laid, the final steps involve preparing for compaction and adding joint filler. It's crucial to lay the pavers slightly higher than the final desired grade (typically 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch higher). This allows for proper settling and flattening when the entire patio is compacted. Once the compaction is complete, polymeric sand will be swept into the paver joints and activated with water, locking the pavers in place. The fire pit will also be finished at this stage, likely involving the installation of the burner and decorative elements.

One, if you are paid by the hour. Tw Begin by identifying the curved edge of the pool or other structure against which the paver border will be installed. For demonstration purposes, the presenter initially shows a manual and inefficient method of marking the curve. This involves holding a tape measure from the curved edge to the paver, measuring a consistent offset (e.g., 8 1/4 inches in this case), and making individual marks with a pencil at short intervals (e.g., every 2 inches). These discrete marks would then need to be connected freehand to approximate the curve, which is prone to inaccuracy and tedious. This method is quickly dismissed as impractical for achieving a smooth, precise curve. https://www.youtube.com/embed/mIPNFLfytmU 18 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/two-tips-in-one-one-if-you-are-paid-by-the-hour-two-if-you-are-paid-v1230051/construct-and-prepare-custom-tracing-jig-c3586741 2026-10-15T16:05:46.788Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/mIPNFLfytmU/hqdefault.jpg Construct and Prepare Custom Tracing Jig — Two tips in one!

As demonstrated in the video, this jig can be constructed from a block of wood (e.g., a 2x4 cut to a suitable length) with two L-shaped metal brackets attached to one side. These brackets act as guides, sliding along the curved edge of the structure (like a pool coping). A pencil is then positioned and secured on the opposite side of the wooden block. The critical setup involves ensuring that the distance from the pencil tip to the outer edge of the metal brackets precisely matches the desired width or offset of the paver section that needs to be cut (in this example, 8 and a quarter inches). This precise measurement is essential for creating an accurate and consistent curved line. https://www.youtube.com/embed/mIPNFLfytmU 10 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/two-tips-in-one-one-if-you-are-paid-by-the-hour-two-if-you-are-paid-v1230051/trace-curve-onto-pavers-using-jig-c3586743 2026-10-15T16:05:46.788Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/mIPNFLfytmU/hqdefault.jpg Trace Curve onto Pavers Using Jig — Two tips in one!

We need some new challenges out there... Why did this trend e Before fully driving the nail, it is crucial to properly position and secure it with an initial, light tap. Hold the nail firmly between your thumb and forefinger, resting its tip on the desired location on the piece of traditional lumber. With a gentle, controlled tap from the hammer, just enough to embed the nail's tip into the wood, you "seat" the nail. This initial seating prevents the nail from wobbling and allows you to safely remove your fingers, setting the nail straight for the subsequent, more powerful strikes. In wood framing, this step ensures nails are accurately placed to maintain structural integrity and proper alignment of framing members like studs, top plates, or sole plates. https://www.youtube.com/embed/YxyVNt9d5Ys 3 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/throwback-we-need-some-new-challenges-out-there-why-did-this-trend-end-v1230058/drive-the-nail-fully-and-flush-c3587140 2026-10-22T19:28:52.471Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/YxyVNt9d5Ys/hqdefault.jpg Drive the Nail Fully and Flush — Throwback! We need some new challenges out there... Why did this tr Once the nail is securely seated, the next step involves driving it completely into the lumber with powerful, consistent strikes. Grip the hammer handle firmly, preferably closer to the end, to maximize leverage and striking force. Aim for the center of the nail head with each swing, using a full arm motion and engaging your body's momentum for efficiency. Continue striking until the nail head is flush with the wood surface or slightly countersunk below it. This ensures a strong and secure connection between wood members without leaving exposed nail heads that could snag or hinder subsequent steps. The video demonstrates achieving this in as few as three powerful hits, showcasing an efficient technique vital for creating rigid and stable stud wall frames quickly and effectively. https://www.youtube.com/embed/YxyVNt9d5Ys 22 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/building-a-roof-cricket-this-part-is-super-important-v1230059 2026-09-16T00:00:00.000Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/wc4vYSZ9yOs/hqdefault.jpg Building A Roof Cricket - This Part Is SUPER Important!

The primary structural benefit and purpose of this specific strapping method, as dictated by the plans, is to provide sufficient structural tie-down between the rafters, thereby eliminating the need for traditional collar ties that would typically be installed underneath the rafters. This approach can simplify the roof's internal structure and potentially increase usable attic space. https://www.youtube.com/embed/5FrapI_Stnw 9 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/you-asked-we-answer-v1230065/strategically-offset-strapping-for-sheathing-c3583765 2026-10-22T19:30:45.814Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5FrapI_Stnw/hqdefault.jpg Strategically Offset Strapping for Sheathing — You asked, we answer!! To ensure that the roof sheathing can still be securely attached despite the rafter-to-rafter strapping being installed beneath it, a specific and crucial technique is employed. The metal strapping is intentionally installed with a 'tiniest bit' of offset from the anticipated main nailing line along the top edge of the rafter. This slight offset creates a narrow, exposed strip of rafter wood, making it possible for the carpenters to 'toenail' the plywood sheathing directly into the solid wood of the rafter. This method effectively bypasses the strapping at the immediate point of fastening, ensuring a direct, strong, and code-compliant connection between the sheathing and the structural rafter. A Bostitch brand nail gun is visibly used for this process, demonstrating the efficiency and precision of fastening. https://www.youtube.com/embed/5FrapI_Stnw 8 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/you-asked-we-answer-v1230065/secure-sheathing-to-ridge-for-support-c3583769 2026-10-22T19:30:45.814Z monthly 0.5 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5FrapI_Stnw/hqdefault.jpg Secure Sheathing to Ridge for Support — You asked, we answer!! In addition to toenailing the sheathing into the rafters (made possible by the offset strapping), the sheathing is further secured where it meets the ridge of the roof. For plywood panels that extend up to the ridge, the video explains that these panels are also nailed, specifically toenail-nailed, into the side of the ridge board along its entire length. This provides an important additional structural connection for the roof deck, enhancing its rigidity and tie-down, particularly at the highest point of the roof structure. The presenter notes that, in this specific construction, the distance from the rafter to the ridge is only 12 inches, making this method of direct attachment into the ridge practical and highly effective across the full width of the plywood panel. A hammer is briefly shown, although a nail gun would typically be the primary tool for efficiently securing sheathing. https://www.youtube.com/embed/5FrapI_Stnw 9 no https://3x3custom.stesso.com/watch/uh-oh-a-rafter-dying-in-to-another-structure-what-could-this-be-v1230066 2026-10-22T19:37:27.562Z monthly 0.6 https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5uyjTuvULwU/hqdefault.jpg Uh oh, a rafter dying in to another structure?!
