00:00Help me fix up this old house so I can finally move out of my parents' basement.
00:02Hashtag relatable, am I right?
00:05Whoa, got too excited.
00:06Anyway, we're fixing up the trim today.
00:07Go get your paint clothes on.
00:08Thankfully, I've done most of the prep work.
00:10Like taping up the floor, cleaning the baseboards, sanding, filling, more sanding,
00:14possibly definitely giving myself lead poisoning.
00:16All we have left to do is our second round of primer and then it's on to the paint.
00:18This is where you come in.
00:19Your job is to watch and periodically tell me that I'm doing an amazing job.
00:22Because I spent the last week prepping the trim of this house,
00:24so I need someone to lay their eyeballs on it and say,
00:26Wow!
00:26When they see it.
00:27Let me just finish getting up all the dust.
00:30And now it's prime time.
00:33Look, look, look, look, look, look.
00:34If anyone at this point is thinking,
00:36Why is she painting all the trim?
00:37Trim looks pretty great to me.
00:38I'd like to say thank you.
00:39I made it look like this.
00:40This house was built in 1948 and as you can imagine,
00:42some grubby hands got ahold of a paintbrush in its lifetime.
00:45So am I over prepping?
00:46Absolutely.
00:47It was necessary.
00:47If we're not doing the most, then what are we doing?
00:49I've essentially sculpted this trim with my bare hands.
00:52Fixing the damage and the blindness of the men that came before me.
00:54Yes, I do feel like a warrior.
00:56Let me tell you, the work was laborious.
00:58I think I even tore my rotator cuff.
00:59Someone Google torn rotator cuff and tell me if that's what I have.
01:02My symptoms are pain in shoulder.
01:04It hurts.
01:04By the way, will I be upset if you don't think
01:06that this trim looks brand spanking new at the end of this video?
01:08Absolutely.
01:09If you don't say those exact words, I will cry.
01:11I put my heart and soul into this.
01:12Absolutely push myself to the limit.
01:14Push it, push it to the limit, limit.
01:17Cause we're in it to win it, in it to win it.
01:21Oh yeah.
01:21Excuse me, sorry.
01:22I gotta get right here.
01:23Excuse me.
01:23If I'm going to look at this trim every day, I want it to be beautiful.
01:26And I also want the next person who wants to buy it to walk in and say,
01:28wow, that trim is beautiful.
01:30I want to buy this house.
01:31Here's lots of money.
01:32I am a firm believer that trim sells houses.
01:34The other day I went to an open house just to be nosy.
01:36What can I say?
01:36I like to stay up to date on the houses I can't afford in my area.
01:39Sue me, I dream big.
01:40Anyway, this house was listed for $469,000.
01:43That's almost half a milli people.
01:44And the trim looked like this.
01:46Trigger warning, disturbing images ahead.
01:51What are those?
01:52The listing also mentioned a new marbled fireplace.
01:54I honestly thought I was being punked.
01:56But Ashton Kutcher never showed up.
01:57Rather disappointing, if I do say so myself.
01:59But if a house with that kind of trim can sell for half a milli,
02:02the trim is going to make this one worth a bajillion dollars.
02:05And I'm going to make sure of it.
02:06I'm going to try really, really hard.
02:07And finally, it's time to reveal the paint color for the trim.
02:10And the color is white.
02:12Well, this is a very anticlimactic paint reveal.
02:14I honestly thought this was going to be more exciting.
02:16Like some sort of dramatic change.
02:17So I had to remind myself of what the house looked like originally.
02:23And now it looks like this.
02:24Wow.
02:25A whole lot brighter and a lot less yellow.
02:27And the best part, when you look up close,
02:28you don't feel like you got scammed out of your life savings.
02:30And to me, that view is just priceless.
02:33Go ahead, take it all in.
02:34Anyway, come back next week.
02:35We're painting the walls.
02:36It's very exciting.
02:37Dad's having so much fun.
