A painters tip...you can tint the primer to the color of the top coat, that helps to get a nice finish color. But I gotta say...those doors say " I am a working building again."
When using a prybar or claw hammer to remove nails, place a piece of plywood-board-steel underneath the tool to spread the pressure to keep from denting the surface you are working on. Thick enough to do the job but not so thick that it impedes the leverage of the tool.
The old numbers look like the 1950s - 70s sheet aluminium ones that had a brass finish. They likely nailed them on because there's usually just a peel-and-stick adhesive on the back. First coat of dark paint over white primer tends to always look scary. Looks really good with a second coat, though!
Chris there is a family in Indiana that is restoring a school house to live in and they discovered a company that recycles paint that can be tinted to any color that you want and is a fraction of the cost of new paint... Get you some painter's tape.. its a lot easier than using a razor blade.. more professional looking also... Thx for bringing us along on another adventure...
Been watching from nearly the beginning - really enjoy your videos… but I have one nagging question - couldn’t you have found a building to renovate closer to your home?
A package drop into the building through an existing opening like a window. That way most packages will go through and drop into the building. You do realize you probably just ruined that wood chisel??
Sorry to say this. You are not a good painter. That wood thing you tried to get out of the ground probably have to be dug out. A full days work, if you dont have som huge machinery.
Such great friends to come back and help again!! The building keeps looking better!!
You got some amazing work done this year before winter set in.
They look like they're brand new doors again😊
Love the doors….❤
The work you and your friends are doing is very impressive. Keep at it, friend! ❤
The Doors look great !

When pulling bushes out soak area with garden hose first an they will come out easier

I recall hearing those glass blocks have a pressurized core. Maybe someone can confirm.
We can all hope it doesn't grow back. Not sure that is how it works though.
