Transcript
For the past twenty months, Nick, myself, and Carhartt have been renovating our abandoned home. And this past week, well, Nick broke his foot. So now I'm officially the one wearing the pants. And so for my first task as lead renovator, I wanted to paint that cedar. The cedar we drove sixteen hours for and has been sitting in our garage for three months. So the cedar is gonna be used as our soffits and it's definitely gonna be a labor of love. We have to paint each panel twice with our stain. And to be honest, this is the first time either of us has ever stained good. So tier definitely was a big learning curve the first time doing this. But honestly, the work itself was not bad at all because I was wearing the most comfiest jeans, specifically tier Carhartt essential jeans, which fit way better than my other work pants. And they stretch in all directions, but they don't stretch out. They are also a mid rise straight rank. My personal favorite work pant because I can pick up lumber, I can squat, I can pretty much do everything in them. But no, let me show you how the cedar turned out. Hey. Woah. It turned out really good. Unfortunately, next step is installing all of it, which we probably won't be able to do for a few weeks now. Thank you, Foote. So in the meantime, just be sure to go to carhart.com to find your perfect fit.
