Mauro: The roof? 381 00:14:36,633 --> 00:14:38,933 William: Yeah. So we've since had the entire roof replaced. 382 00:14:38,933 --> 00:14:40,066 So that's all taken care of. 383 00:14:40,066 --> 00:14:41,633 Hasn't gotten any worse or anything. 384 00:14:41,633 --> 00:14:44,200 Mauro: Alright. I also noticed some pattern on that ceiling. 385 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,133 William: Yeah. My wife and I really like the swirl pattern. 386 00:14:46,133 --> 00:14:47,366 Mauro: Yeah? William: So if we could keep 387 00:14:47,366 --> 00:14:49,333 that, that'd be perfect. Mauro: We actually can. 388 00:14:49,333 --> 00:14:51,733 Okay, I am going to step out, get some stuff, 389 00:14:51,733 --> 00:14:53,233 be back, and we start the work. 390 00:14:53,233 --> 00:14:54,500 William: Great. 391 00:14:54,500 --> 00:14:57,066 Mauro: Alright, Will, the walls are protected. 392 00:14:57,066 --> 00:14:58,766 Floors are protected. William: Mm-hmm. 393 00:14:58,766 --> 00:15:00,933 Mauro: It's time to open a little bit of the gap 394 00:15:00,933 --> 00:15:02,700 so we can start to patch in the ceiling. 395 00:15:02,700 --> 00:15:04,333 Alright? That's what I'm going to do. 396 00:15:04,333 --> 00:15:06,033 William: And why do we have to do that? 397 00:15:06,033 --> 00:15:08,566 Mauro: We have to open up so we can patch it. 398 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,400 William: So how wide are you trying to get it then? 399 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,300 Mauro: Just about an eighth of an inch. 400 00:15:13,300 --> 00:15:15,900 If you need to go back, go back again. 401 00:15:15,900 --> 00:15:17,700 And the other thing too -- 402 00:15:17,700 --> 00:15:19,633 We don't want to disturb the pattern. 403 00:15:19,633 --> 00:15:20,833 William: Right. Mauro: Alright? 404 00:15:22,566 --> 00:15:24,033 Alright. Time to prime. 405 00:15:25,633 --> 00:15:27,100 William: So what kind of primer are we using? 406 00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:29,966 Mauro: We're going to use this shellac base primer. 407 00:15:29,966 --> 00:15:32,000 It's a prime sealer for water stains. 408 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,533 Perfect. Let's start with this area here. 409 00:15:35,533 --> 00:15:37,033 William: So why do we need to use the primer 410 00:15:37,033 --> 00:15:39,933 before we patch the crack? Mauro: Well, number-one rule, 411 00:15:39,933 --> 00:15:42,100 everything that hit with the water, 412 00:15:42,100 --> 00:15:44,566 water stain on the ceiling, walls or any other area, 413 00:15:44,566 --> 00:15:46,500 you should prime it before you paint 414 00:15:46,500 --> 00:15:48,433 because if you don't prime, 415 00:15:48,433 --> 00:15:50,500 once you put the coat of paint on, 416 00:15:50,500 --> 00:15:52,966 the water stain will bleed right through the paint. 417 00:15:52,966 --> 00:15:54,966 William: Really? Okay. Mauro: It's like a prime sealer. 418 00:15:54,966 --> 00:15:58,600 You got to seal everything before you paint always. 419 00:15:58,600 --> 00:15:59,900 William: Makes sense. 420 00:16:01,166 --> 00:16:05,400 Mauro: And not only are we priming inside the cracks, 421 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,066 Will, we're going to prime all the water stains. 422 00:16:10,166 --> 00:16:11,600 Alright. You want to take it over? 423 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:12,500 William: Sure. Mauro: Alright. 424 00:16:12,500 --> 00:16:13,700 It's all yours. 425 00:16:16,033 --> 00:16:18,300 Just go nice and easy.

That about enough? 430 00:16:27,500 --> 00:16:31,166 Mauro: Yes. Once you start to go into the pattern, 431 00:16:31,166 --> 00:16:34,366 just follow up the pattern design with your brush. 432 00:16:34,366 --> 00:16:35,800 Alright? Don't go across. 433 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,533 Just follow the pattern 434 00:16:37,533 --> 00:16:38,900 like you're doing the pattern yourself. 435 00:16:39,966 --> 00:16:41,500 Yes. There we go. 436 00:16:41,500 --> 00:16:42,966 [ Brush rustling ] 437 00:16:42,966 --> 00:16:46,400 I even like the sound of the brush going to the patterns. 438 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:47,500 William: Mm-hmm. Mauro: Right? 439 00:16:47,500 --> 00:16:49,433 William: Yeah, it's very satisfying. 440 00:16:49,433 --> 00:16:52,866 Mauro: Well, Will, primer is in process drying. 441 00:16:52,866 --> 00:16:54,300 William: Alright. Mauro: Let's talk about 442 00:16:54,300 --> 00:16:56,500 the materials that I'm using in this house. 443 00:16:56,500 --> 00:16:58,333 William: Okay. Mauro: We have different types 444 00:16:58,333 --> 00:17:00,100 of joint compound. 445 00:17:00,100 --> 00:17:01,866 William: Oh. So this is all joint compound? 446 00:17:01,866 --> 00:17:04,433 Mauro: It's all joint compounds, different times to dry. 447 00:17:04,433 --> 00:17:06,800 William: Mm. Okay. Mauro: So over here we have 448 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,733 the regular joint compound. 449 00:17:08,733 --> 00:17:10,433 Takes a little longer to dry. 450 00:17:10,433 --> 00:17:12,533 If you're doing the whole ceiling, 451 00:17:12,533 --> 00:17:14,100 this is the way to go here 452 00:17:14,100 --> 00:17:16,133 because you get a more open time. 453 00:17:16,133 --> 00:17:19,566 And then for repairs, we might use something that dries faster, 454 00:17:19,566 --> 00:17:21,200 which is the dry mix. 455 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:22,933 You put a little bit of water, 456 00:17:22,933 --> 00:17:24,833 it will take about 20, 25 minutes to dry. 457 00:17:24,833 --> 00:17:27,166 For a small patch, this is really nice. 458 00:17:27,166 --> 00:17:30,033 And then here we have the popcorn ceiling, 459 00:17:30,033 --> 00:17:32,866 which is another texture that you can use on your ceiling. 460 00:17:32,866 --> 00:17:34,266 William: Mm-hmm. Yep. That looks just like 461 00:17:34,266 --> 00:17:37,533 what we have upstairs. Mauro: Alright, let's practice. 462 00:17:37,533 --> 00:17:41,666 We're going to apply the wet joint compound. 463 00:17:41,666 --> 00:17:43,566 And then we're going to create that pattern. 464 00:17:43,566 --> 00:17:45,066 William: Okay. Perfect. Yeah. 465 00:17:45,066 --> 00:17:46,966 I was hoping we could get a little practice first. 466 00:17:46,966 --> 00:17:48,833 So why would you want to use the wet one for this? 467 00:17:48,833 --> 00:17:51,366 Mauro: Because you have a little more open time 468 00:17:51,366 --> 00:17:53,300 to work over your patterns. 469 00:17:53,300 --> 00:17:55,100 William: So we're just building up enough to work with right now? 470 00:17:55,100 --> 00:17:59,166 Mauro: Just build enough to create the pattern. 471 00:18:03,700 --> 00:18:06,033 Now, there's two ways we can do this. 472 00:18:06,033 --> 00:18:08,266 There's this little... 473 00:18:08,266 --> 00:18:11,533 This little teeth tools.

It looks dry. What do you think? 553 00:21:46,533 --> 00:21:48,066 William: How can you tell that it's dry? 554 00:21:48,066 --> 00:21:49,833 Mauro: Well, when you see a little sheen, 555 00:21:49,833 --> 00:21:51,900 it means the paint is still wet.
