" So, essentially, you're doing a one-step job here to get rid of all the paint that's on the house, right?"

" Close to 1 step. 2 steps really. We're just putting a little chlorine in the water to kill the mold and mildew to."

" Chlorine?"

" To kill mold and mildew."

" So is that again what you're doing right now?"

" That was earlier this morning when we."

" So there's a first wash that you do within the play."

" Yes."

" And that just gets rid of the surface drainage."

" Right."

" Okay. But now, the washing that you're doing is really removing everything right down to this beautiful, old Florida wood, which I think is cypress. Not a hundred percent sure, but well, it kind of looks like cypress, especially when you look at the grain along here. It's very much like cypress. And I'm looking at some of this paint up here, Kip, and I'm seeing probably the original color that the builder first put on it. It's kind of like a tan."

" Right. Right. The Florida tan we have here is one of probably 4 or 5 coats."

" Very pretty. Now this is probably oil-based. Probably have lead in it, right?"

" Years ago. Yes."

" So you do have tarps down everywhere?"

" Yes."

" Along the perimeter of the."

" Right. And we clean it up when we get done as well."

" Okay. How much pressure is going out of this gun?"

" This one here is 3,000 pounds of pressure with 4 gallons a minute."

" Wow."

" You want to take a look?"

" Yeah."

" Okay."

" And what'll that do if you just put that?"

" [unk]. It essentially blows the dirt that we have on here, but it really doesn't remove enough of the paint that we want, so we have a little toy over here called the Whirlybird. "

" It removes 85% of the paint."

" Let's use the Whirlybird. Yeah."

" Copy that. Okay."

" It's just a different type of nozzle."

" It's a 0-degree nozzle."

" So it's really gonna concentrate kind of like a jet spray on there?"

" Yes. This one here has 25 degrees of angle. This has 0 degrees of angle."

" That goes in a 360-degree pattern."

" Now the paint on this side of the house is blue there, but in other places, it's not quite as blue, so and you've already washed it a little bit."

" Right."

" And now with this super duper nozzle, you're just gonna get it all right down to bear."

" Simple as that, Bob."

" Well, let me try it."

" Okay."

" Is there any trick to it?"

" Just."

" It's a lot easier than sandblasting a house."

" Yes. Okay. Here it comes."

" Where? Yeah. Exactly. And you're not really creating any big problems 'cause you're not leaving all that sand behind and all the paint residue."

" Just water. Just any water."

" Yeah."

" It's what we use here."

" What about the cost? What's it cost to do a house like this?"

" Anywhere from 450 to 600 dollars. Depends on how many hours you spend, the time to do it."

" Sure. Sure. Boy. And then can you paint it just after a day or two or?"

" 1 day. You'd put a coat of primer around this, and then you would come back and put your set and finish out here."

" Well, get back to work."

" Yes, sir."

" And we'll watch."

" Okay."

" Alright."

" Take care."

" Thanks a lot, Kip."

" Okay, Kip, you almost done?"

" Hi, Bob. Yeah."

" Hi. Just a little bit left over there."

" And a little bit left over there, alright?"

" Right. And then just here and we'll be all done."

" It looks terrific. Now how long will we have to wait before we can started sanding the wood and maybe even putting down some primer? "

" As wet as this wood is here, minimum would be 24 hours, maximum would be 48, and maybe 3 days."

" Yeah. We're better off probably waiting 2 or 3 days."

" Yes."

" And what kind of primer do you recommend we use?"

" Because of this having a latex paint on here for less 30 to 40 years, I would use a water-based primer instead of an oil."

" Stay away from oil because of all the latex that's been on there."
