Creator documents house building progressfrom @buildwithbert
[01]
Overview
The creator provides an update on his house-building project. He starts by showing how cold it is by opening a door and letting a cloud of steam rush in. He then gives a tour of the interior, showing the newly taped drywall and coffered ceilings, and mentions he's ready to start painting. While talking to the camera, he points out an injury on his forehead from a fall at work before excitedly demonstrating a long paint roller pole he'll use for the high ceilings.

Transcript
To give you guys an idea of how cold it is right no. My name is Bert, and I'm gonna build my house. Look at all the cold air rushing in there. It just makes steam. You no, it's a little loud in here, but look at this. Taping's getting done. Just got all my paint. So they still have to skim coat the ceiling, but the tapers are about done. So this weekend this weekend, I plan I just realized how big this goose egg is on my forehead. I fell at work today and hit my face on the roof. But yeah. So this weekend, I plan on starting to paint. So that'll be really cool to see some color on the walls. I'm just doing a warm white all the way around. And if I wanna change some stuff later on, I will. No even gonna freaking need a ladder. Look at this.
