" You're cutting in -- right yes you -- we begin we with a cutting Edmonton. And then you'll one -- via the -- let's talk a little bit about the colors that they know the architect and the homeowner. We're discussing colors for the -- it's a couple colors and you put up some samples up there I know that. The architect wanted to differentiate the new addition which were calling the tower from the rest of the house by using that stronger yellow that's on the bottom there. And that painting the rest of the house the top. Parchment on it and you're working with here ride the customer I don't think let's look too happy -- that's right so that compromise is that the new power will still be a different color but it'll be quite. Except for the ground yellow heavy yellow in the back it's going to be a bright yellow and the bags and accentuate that one wall next to the feature garden will be the strong yeah. And then you're using the parchment -- here yes which is going to drive a little bit darker right it will darker colors yeah. To -- like a coat and dark and where there aren't any tricks to cutting and when you're working on these Stucco walls. The best thing market value is -- could be real here will be real. Thing to do and -- your -- and hold the brush this way vertically vertically yes. Makes and -- and yet. What kind of -- eateries we're using acrylic paints. And acrylic latex acrylic latex but mainly because of the of the weather neck and the climate here water. But these. Typically that the weather here in Florida is like it is today at least in the eighties although it's shot up into the nineties today right and the humidity it's incredible so. It pulls out a lot who. We UV rays from the sun and they passed no sites to. To help with the mildew. Now it so latex acrylic. And does that help from the -- perspective. It it does because. The acrylic it's -- natural. UB filters. Which do help an awful lot of mean UV rays that's what makes it. Really fade and chalk and you work off all the paint that's on your brush. On the outside. And use it when it first loaded up run inside on deck on the inside and then you. Wet about one inch of it that's the first thing that's that great at all. Now -- your painting on the easy part there is that the -- texture right Ryley yeah that's what I was going to ask you about next it. Most of the bulk of the house has this wonderful Stucco finish to it which is. Really raised to full of little crannies and ridges and and how are you going to get into all that and still. Do it quickly enough wealth for that."

And -- That's pretty good with the it's rough texture to -- Japan ready we don't use a hand and use video -- bucket with a screen. And makes a lot Quaker -- keep coming back and re filling it and it's it's it saves a lot times it La times is the name of the game here. And you don't get it too heavily dating right now that's the purpose of the screen right you keep. Working it through do you get it almost -- that you don't have a lot of groups. And then you. And apply it."
" On one application and right no number that -- that you come back -- and try to smooth it out. But consistency of the paint its sticking out that you don't have to worry too much about overspray. You don't get too much overspray. And Mike and this case we have what we have a screen door. The last war don't have to worry about it we edges. Then they'll really want if it is absolutely. Right. Easier to clean up afterwards -- is to go to the trouble masking it but he plastic. Absolutely -- I'm. --"
