DIY house painting progress updatefrom @buildwithbert

Overview
The creator provides a progress update on painting the exterior of the house he is building. He begins by humorously comparing the brown paint to chocolate pudding, then explains that due to windy weather, he is rolling the paint instead of spraying it. He discusses the pros and cons of this method, such as the time-consuming nature of cutting in versus not having to mask windows, before showing a montage of himself mixing the paint and applying it to the house walls with a roller.

Transcript
This paint really looks like chocolate pudding, to be honest. My name is Best, and I'm gonna build my house. So it feels like day 40 seven of me painting. I've just been chipping away at it after worse. So this is how far we are. It's too windy right now to spray, so I'm just over here gonna do some rolling. It takes a while, though, like, cutting in around all the soffit and stuff and all the windows. Nice thing about rolling instead of spraying those, I don't have to mask the windows off. I just get what I can with the roller and then go back with the brush after and hit everything I couldn't get.
