I agree with the best tip/ Buy the best once ! It really pays !. Excellent work again April !
Yes! Thank you! And thanks for watching.
This place looks really, really cool. Much better and more stylish than I anticipated at first, she's turning into a super pro at this level.
Glad you are enjoying the build. Thanks for watching.
Your Outdoors Kitchen looks Beautiful
Thank you!
That’s a huge outdoor kitchen lol it’s beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Great Paint job 👏
Thank you so much 😀
I would say: roller finish or brush finish texture is a matter of taste. I personally prefer the texture of a roller over a brush. To each his own, I guess.
Instead of all the masking, you can do all the painting before putting the other finish items.
Also, use an oil based primer on raw wood. It is a better blocker and promotes better adhesion for the top coat (acrylic or oil based). You also should avoid tinting the primer. Having the color difference between the primer and top coat gives a good visual on proper top coat millage so the substrate is fully protected and the paint lasts as long as possible.
April, you’re fantastic!!!
All through this series I kept thinking, “Wasn’t it just a few years ago that you were beginning to share your projects out of your original shop?”
Keep up the great work.
Looking forward to seeing more of your dreams come to fruition!!
Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad you're still along for the ride. Thanks for watching. :)
Another awesome project brought home, April! My late mother was a self taught cabinet maker- she would have absolutely adored your work! FR
This video is an inspiration for me to do the same thing I'm working on
Very nice place to have family and friends over. Great job April.
Thanks! Yes, it will be a great place to entertain. Thanks for watching. :)
A pro painter told me to never bother with masking, I should go for a wide putty knife, and use that as masking. Then ever so often, clean it, either on your painters clothes or in a rag. :)
Quick, easy, and perfect results.
I only use a painting straight edge for painting baseboards where there is carpet. Everything else I just cut in freehand. It is faster and cleaner, but takes years of practice to master. I also don't mask much at all other than tape on the top of baseboards, sticking out, to catch any roller splatter. For spraying, I mask extremely well, since it will go everywhere there is a void. Also use a 3" wide sash brush for cutting in and drag it longways. The wider brush acts as a straight edge vs. using a narrow brush. I only use 3" and 3.5" brushes, even on wood windows and french doors.
Also, use good quality brushes and learn how to take care of them; clean them throughly, dry and store them properly
@@DavyHulme You hit the nail on the head! Roller covers are $11 bucks each and brushes are about $20 each, but they last a very long time due to proper cleaning. A big block wire brush cleans the ferule and bristles, even the handles and a painter's comb straightens the bristles. Having good water pressure to force water inside the brush to clean out the paint is vital (not forcing water in, just allows paint to build up and dry in the middle of the bristles.....a mistake that many people make). It doesn't hurt the brush as long as it is straightened and it works very well to hang them to dry overnight then put them back in the sleeve.
Great tips as usual April
Just imagine a Blue Grass band on a Saturday night. What a wonderful space
Yes! That would be awesome! Thanks for watching.
Great looking nice job. Happy Father's day to all the dads. Thanks 😊!!
April should have used more primer/paint on the roller. If you have to push on the roller, it is too dry! You need a certain mill thickness for a good paint job. Keeping a wet roller actually reduces splatter. I only use lambs wool roller covers for 9" size and you can use a roller spinner tool to spin the roller in a bucket. It works on the large diameter covers like you had. For small roller covers, rinse by hand and then roll it very fast down a scrap of wood or in my case the back of the dog bath I clean my tools out in. It is less messy. I always prime before filling, so the filler and caulk has a good surface to stick to. I use very little tape and instead freehand everything with a 3" or 3.5" sash brush where needed. Even on wood windows and french doors I never use less than a 3" brush. Big brushes hold more paint and act as a straight edge for cutting in. Most April's tips were pretty good and slightly rounding corners is something I always did when staining and lacquering new cabinets, but also for paint grade. Techniques somewhat depend on the skill level of the person painting. I have taught coworkers to paint well in a few months by showing them many techniques that I learned from my uncle who hired me at age 14 for his own home (age 15 for his painting business) and others I pickup up from many years of practice. Great paint work comes from attention to detail and good techniques.
@@plasmac9 I used Valspar in part of my home 10 years or so ago and didn't have a problem with it. The color I liked was that brand. I have used pretty much all of the brands available in SoCal, other than the very cheap stuff. Proper prep and application were on my side and I always use two coats and prime if the surface is questionable. Maybe I just got lucky with the Valspar when I bought it and used it over interior walls I previously painted with Sinclair. I used a ton of whiteline, devoe, sinclair, ICI, spectrum, and eventually tried Behr, which works great for me despite so many people hating it. The availability of Behr beats dealing with paint stores scattered around, especially when I was doing commercial work at all hours and in many different locations. In the past I used vista, DE, pratt and lambert, sherwin williams, and others.
Yeah you can easily tell she is not professional painter at all but those tips are still good for amateurs like me.
You have excellent tips. Not a fan of White on that. I was like NO The natural of outside is gone. Great job on that deck. Impressed..
I like how some painter's tape tell you the number of days it can be on before it's hard to remove. I have been guilty of leaving tape too long, and then it's hard to get off in the past.
Me too! Isn't that a great addition? So helpful
@@AprilWilkerson Yes Very Helpful! Thank You for explaining it even better on your Instagram Stories yesterday April!!!
This outdoor kitchen looks like the perfect venue for an outdoor (small/medium) wedding reception, birthday party, anniversary party, etc.
Yes, it is going to be a lovely place to entertain friends and family. :)
That's beautiful!
Great tips, thanks for sharing them. When I worked at Matrix Essentials, out compounding team concocted a product that was eventually marketed as “Active Hands.” Paint isn’t the only product that washes off easier with a moisturizer applied prior to exposure. If you are out of lotion, use hair conditioner; it’s good for sunburn too. What will you be hanging from your sling “mistake,” I’m hoping there is a glider or swing in the future.
Wishing you and your family another great week filled with happiness and health. Cheers,
great tips, April. thanks for sharing these :-)
Glad you like them!
Painting is all about the preparation of the surfaces!!! Ya did a great job of it!!!!!
Thanks April, this series has been very informative....
Thanks!
Well done
we wanna see some boot skootin when ya done! great job!
Thanks!
WOW! Looks fantastic!! Great video as always!
Thank you so much Fence Armor! 🤗
@@AprilWilkerson It is our pleasure, always enjoy seeing the work you do 🤗
Looks like a great outdoor place to have a family gathering!
It is!
dope video, thanks for all the tips and tricks! very useful
April, you are so gorgeous! ❤️
Love your videos, April! You do an amazing job. It’s hysterical seeing all the mansplaining in your comments feed. You got em jealous! Keep it up 🌟
Haha it sure is. Thank you
The mansplaining doesn't bother me; I figure there are people with all levels of knowledge, from newbies to pros, reading the comments and possibly learning things. It's the guys who can't see anything except how pretty April is, instead of the knowledge, skills, and hard work that got her where she is, that annoy me. Really? Someone accomplishes all this, and all you can say is, "You're beautiful?"
Great job
That deck is gorgeous !
Looking better all the time and some great tips. Take care and have a blessed week and see you on your next vidja.
Great job!
Great tips! I always learn something from you videos. Thank you for sharing.
On top of the great tips, April also drives a great truck!
Its a great one!
April thanks for ur masking n painting tips. Gonna come in handy when re-painting my home with ur time-saving advices . Kudos for ur video. Looking forward to ur next one.
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching. :)
Hate to say this April but those white wood coverings for the verticle post are going to expand and contract over the seasons leaving really large unattractive gaps as the wood warps over time. Then rain water will get in and finish them off in short time. I did this same thing on my new front porch patio. Didn't even get 2 yrs before starting to look like crap. You're better off using the thick James Hardie planks instead.
Absolutely! Not to mention that it looks like she used 18g finish nails. She'll be lucky to get a couple of weeks before the DAP filler starts to crack and the joints open up.
Awesome work April, thanks for the tips! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
You're so welcome! Glad it was helpful.
You’re awesome April. Love your channel.
Thank you
I wasn't expecting quite the transformation! Another great video in the series! What's next? It's getting really, really close to being finished.
Hi April, My father used to use vaseline to help paint wash off skin! 🥰
Great job April, thanks for sharing with us. Looks good!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋 Keep up the good work and videos, we appreciate you. Fred.
Thanks so much! 😊
Beautiful, now I guess is comming to fix all around, like a garden with sprinkles and grass.
Keeping it real 🍻👍
Looks amazing April! My anxiety level went through the roof when you were cleaning the roller outdoors and the paint was soaking into the ground.
As far it.s water based paint it should not contaminate soil at all.
First world problems
Great tips April. specialy the roller cleaning tip in the bucket.
Great paint tips. But I think those beams would have looked better with clear poly urethane. I love the natural wood look.
All personal preference dude. I'm sure she agrees for the most part, but it's just cheap yellow pine by the looks of it; and paint is honestly the best way to seal wood from the elements even more so than poly.
@@darianbell9614 While I agree that the wood used is cheap, unattractive and best covered, painting it is a fail. First, this is still very wet, green lumber that will leach chemicals, sap, resins etc. These will come through this paint as urine-colored stains. Also, given that only one side (at most) is painted and the other side(s) are open to the environment and will absorb moisture, this paint is doomed to fail in 1-3 years. All the filler used at seams/joints will fail as this wood shrinks. This is a “how to” video by someone doing it for the first time. I don’t say this to be intentionally critical or mean-spirited, but as a warning to others watching these videos. These are “entertainment videos” and not instructional videos.
Thumbs up and thanks for posting! Personally I hate the chore of painting and usually find someone else to do it. But your outdoor kitchen came out great, so thanks for bringing us this project.
To clean sandpaper on the cheap, you can also use dried up silicone - the pieces you can cut out of the tube when you use a tube incompletely and only discover a few months later that it has solidified.
Old sneakers.
@@paulkolodner2445 Never used. Are they soft enough? IME, that's the important thing - it has to be something rubbery but soft enough to get into every cleft in the surface to be cleaned. If it's too hard, it will clean only superficially.
The easiest way is to blow it off with a blowgun hooked to an air compressor. I saw the sanding screens for the orbital at the store, but it didn't look like they let the dust pass through very well and I needed sandpaper for sanding drywall, which I use a shop vac and special bags for. As a pro, I have spent hundreds, if not over a thousand hours over the years, sanding. Change out sandpaper often. The performance drops off after a while and you end up taking more time and working harder.......yes, I'm still guilty of not changing it often enough, but as some say, use it like it is free.
@@a0flj0 I have not tried any of these tricks - I'm just relaying what I saw on a youtube video.
A tip for painting PT - make sure it is dry before you paint. In Florida (and probably elsewhere) it can take up to six months for all that moisture to dry.
Love your videos.
Glad you like them! :)
You should insulate the roof.
It is darn surprising how much difference it makes.
I’ve worked on cross docks with and without and wowzer is it major.
Bondo aka plastic Auto body filler is way better filler the down side needing to mix batches up side being you can paint in 10 min or so.
Just make sure to use the white hardener.
Also take advantage of the plastic clay like state as the product cures.
Thanks for another nice video.
This has been a great series to watch the outdoor kitchen looks phenomenal and your skills are being better with each project. Really enjoy watching
Thank you very much! I'm glad you are enjoying the Series.
Amazing work and great helpful tips April! Thank you!
Super presentation 👍
April and Elves you Arris the edges of wood (the sharp edge or salient angle formed by the meeting of two surfaces especially in mouldings)
This project turned out beautiful. So impressive! Your videographer seems to really be paying off. Such creative scenes and framing. Excellent use of the pets as well 🤗
Thank you!
Can't wait for our own space, the whole series is soo good!
Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying this Series build.
That is one beautiful outdoor kitchen. Good for you! Well earned & deserved. Thanks for sharing this process with us.
thanks
Thanks for all the details!!
Thanks for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
So beautiful April!! Nice job and thanks for all your tips. I think it's time for April's B&B so we can visit and check this out! LOL Keep up the great work and can't wait to see what you show us next.
Detailed paint prep! --- from caulking open edges to pushing down tape with a putty knife for an even stick. April, did you clear the issue from some electricians about running regular wire parallel to audio? And will you run conduit to cover the wire that is under the deck?
I just finish my back patio project, I still enjoy watching these videos. 💪🏠💜
thoroughly enjoyed this series, great tips and tricks throughout and such an amazing end product.
Thanks so much!
Great series. Living the dream.
If you are going to tint your primer, you might as well have them tint it the same as your top coat. If I have a bigger job where I'm making a drastic color change I usually do this.
My dad taught me many years ago the tip about putting lotion on! I’ve done it for years.
That's great! Thanks for watching.
Wow! You have come SO far in such a short time. I'm happy I've been along for each video, to watch you grow. You are really something. Your folks must be so proud of you.
I hope you keep growing and never back down from a challenge! Go get 'em! I'll be here watching one of my favorites. :-D Happy Father's Day to your Dad! God bless.
Thank you for your kind words. Yes, my folks are very proud of me. Thank you for watching. :)
Looks fabulouso!
We used Vaseline when spraying even in hair and paint comes right off.
I own a body shop so I'm used to painting cars - so weird to think about sanding with 120-180 grit, I'm usually finishing in 800 grit before spraying! Different worlds for sure. I've found going heavier/wetter coats will let the paint flow and level out, virtually eliminating roller or brush marks
Another great job thanks for sharing enjoyed watching this 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Learned so much thanks!
Thanks for watching!
All great tips, and a great video. My name would be 25 reasons I don't paint!
Love the hip r.of!
Thanks!
april is just as cute as can be...
I wonder if the seams in the columns will start to show through after a while. I would have eased the edges of the boards before assembly so that it became a "decorative detail". My friend has extra deep window sills in her house that were made by adding a small board to a large one. In some places, the seam is invisible, but in others, a hairline is showing through the paint. But joints are prone to becoming visible.
Instead of using lotion, which I find very greasy, there is something which we get in SA called Liquid Gloves. I am sure you can get the same or something similar in the US. It is a clear liquid which you put on your hands before any craft. It dries without being greasy, and it makes it so much easier to get the paint or glue off, or stain off afterwards. I do mosaics, and mosaic glue really sticks, but with the Liquid Gloves, I can just wash the glue off. Even an enamel paint comes off the hands without needing chemicals.
Some good tips, but.... it doesn't seem ok to dump paint water into soil does it?
Hi April- quick question - when you added the panel to the bottom of the facia board that had the big crack that you didn't fill with putty, did you then do the others the same way including the one with hanging light fixtures? If so, how? Did you cut wires and reinstall lights later through new holes in panel added to facia? At the end everything looks even and level indicating that you did. Please let us know how you worked in the lights. Thanks.
Some questions are not supposed to be asked...
Dish soap works as well or better, rubbed into the skin like lotion, to make cleaning paint off your hands & arms easier.
Great tip! Thanks for sharing and for watching.
Awesome job April as usual! Was there any concern about painting the pressure-treated wood so soon?
Painting is easy. It's the prep work BEFORE you paint that is hard and tedious. The better the prep the better the paint job.
Another tip for paint on skin is coconut oil. Many times I've removed oil base or latex paint off with ease. Its a lot better than that pumice soap.
Great tip
Might want a roll up and down screen to keep bugs . Outside not where people sit or eating.
Use Vaseline in your hair and on your skin. Works great if you're a paint sprayer. Can clean up when you're done using paper towels.
WOW
Bel lavoro
Painters in automotive use vasaline to cover face hair and places that they will likely get paint on.
Excelente, parabéns 🇧🇷
Can we have part 9 on plumbing/electric wiring/natural gas line?
Looks great! What was the total cost?
Great tips. I really want a stealth mask unfortunately looking at their size chart I would be a XXL. Do you know if they have any plans for larger sizes?
Hello April,
I am thinking of installing Mr. Cool mini split.
Would you please provide the review of Mr. Cool DIY mini split that you installed after using it.
They are great! I first installed one in my garage, then when I built my personal Shop, installed two. Then later I put two in my commercial space, The Wood Shed. Quiet, efficient, works great. Highly recommend.
Thank you !
In our places people prefer wood to look like wood. All these solid paints are making it feels like plastic, kinda cheap and unnatural. Usually used semitransparent coats, that give some tint and prevent decaying, but retain woods texture.
So, most of tips cant be used with these...
But it's actual for metals and plasterboards.
What did you use to cover your post. Let me know thanks Herby
