Transcript
My home has no address. Yesterday, a delivery driver was going back and forth between my house and my neighbor's house because he wasn't sure which one to go to. And that's when we remembered our house numbers have completely faded. Welcome to things I've been putting off. This is episode 11. You can't throw my phone. I just picked up all these supplies to redo it. I'm just gonna scrub this a bit with a metal brush. It's actually working quite well. Now I'm just taping off a rectangle. Beautiful. Hold my breath. This is getting all over my clothes. Hang on. I got these stencils. Fully taped off this stencil to avoid any overspray, and I'm gonna try to do a few really light coats. Very nice. Cardboard is key. I'm just gonna wait about fifteen minutes, and then I'll do a second coat. Moment of truth. Decent couple touch ups. Just taking my time here. If you have to do this project, I would recommend looking for stencils that are stickers. I feel like stick on stencils would have worked much better, less overspray. I wonder how many years this will last. Here comes the mailman. I've been out here doing touch ups for thirty minutes. It's hard to not get obsessed with it being perfect. If I don't stop myself, I will be here until the sunset, so it's good. I know you can't see it, but trust me, it looks good. Now I'm gonna do a clear coat for extra strength and durability tier longevity. Tier done. Dang. Looks professional. It looks really good. Episode 12 is tomorrow, so follow for more.
