That’s so cool your husband is a carpenter. I’m sure your husband will be super impressed that you’re getting into diy. Meanwhile my husband doesn’t bat an eye when I’m moving light fixtures or remodeling the kitchen. (He’s so used to it.) Yet he kept raving about the mediocre lasagna I recently made for him. 🤣🤣

Just discovered your channel and I know I’ll enjoy watching the rest of this make over. You might consider getting a paint spryer it would be even a bigger Improvement then the extension that you use this time.

Yo Yo Yo friend, I you EVER have to do a ladder trick like that again you can screw a scap piece of 2x4 or pretty much anything just to keep ladder from sliding down the wall. A 24" pice works great as to catch 2 studs & have enough width for ladder. I've even seen guys attach a piece to ceiling & run a rope or wratchet stap through ladder rung. Either way you killed it bye seeing it through!! Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!

When I had to paint the stairwell at a previous house I owned, I duck taped a paintbrush to the end of a pole so I wouldn’t have to get up on a ladder at all. I don’t think I could stomach hanging over the stairs on a ladder the way you did. 😬
