He explains why he's starting with the upper level before the roof is finished, shows his new paint sprayer, and documents the initial painting process.

Transcript

Alright, guys. I cannot wait for this. My name is Best, and I'm gonna build my house. I'm gonna start painting today. So Mike is up there. He's starting to cut in the top there against the soffit. I got the windows masked off up there, and then I'm gonna start spraying with my brand new fancy sprayer that I haven't even used yet. Some of you may ask why we're starting up there. Before I put the steel on the roof, I wanna get get all that painted so that I don't have to set a ladder up on the steel and scratch it up or get paint all over it. Oops. Good it all over the soffit. Alright. No, obviously, it's a little spotty, but this is how it's going. I'll try to get that off or just paint, come back with spray paint.
