Man, you've got nothing to apologize for. That's life. We appreciate you posting new content when you can.

@cheryllakin6736 Год назад

Its not about about us getting a vidio, its about you getting the work done before the weather turns bad, and pertecting the home.

@peterbockholm3176 Год назад

For anyone who is going to use linseed oil. Buy the expensive stuff. The cheaper it is, the more impurities from the production it contains and that is what will mold. There's not if it will mold, it's just how soon. This is extra important when you "service" the paint with just oil when it has faded. What happens is that the linseed oil "breaks" and the pigments gets exposed. It's an easy fix to save you a lot of job so don't postpone it. The clearer the oil is, the better it is, quality costs and that's not the time so save money.

@ah5721 Год назад

good to know ! if I have outdoor furniture and linseed it how often should it be done in humid kansas ?

@peterbockholm3176 Год назад

@@ah5721 That depends on what type of wood it is. But I look at the color and how the wood feels. If it's starting to look sad and feels dry it's time to treat the wood. If the wood has begun to crack you should consult with your local paint shop, they can advise you about thinning out the oil to make it penetrate and perhaps have some effect on the cracks. I have been taught not to use sandpaper, but if you do it don't use a sanding machine. Sand by hand in the direction of the fibers.

Welcome back, Kaleb! You have an enormous job with your house, on top of a real life, so take the time you need. I'm so excited about the color! Your beautiful house is going to glow! I picked very similar colors for the trim on my 1907 red brick Four Square. I'm so impressed with your skills and your ability to learn skills, great job!

@dot8605 Год назад

Don't worry about the gap! You have to do what's best for you. We get to see really nice impressions of Mexico City because of it! As always the progress you made for the house is beautiful! You have one of the best channels on RU-vid, not only because of your project and your dedication to it, but because of your and Kim's personalities. (And I'm sure because of your families too.) Thank you for sharing everything with us.

Kaleb, if you lay down a coat of white linseed before the color coats, the topcoats will show their colors more strongly.

@danthefrst Год назад

See you have nice Swedish linseed oil paint😊 Represent! Here in Sweden the proffessional painters that work with linsseed oil paints seem to profess two different schools. One that says that 1st primer should be 30% paint and 70% solvent gum turpentine and then 2nd layer of primer 60% paint and 40% gum turpentine. The other school says 1st primer 50/50 and 2nd 70% paint and 30% gum turpentine. I do it also with two coats of primer but I dont really care to measure it that meticulously but somewhere in the ballpark. Also many proffessionals that do work with it says gum turpentine should be the solvent but I use white spirit because it solves linseedoil paint and it seems to dry the same, and some that has mor experience than me says it is okay to use whit spirit. I dont really know because I do not have suffucient experience to say whats what so I just tell you here what most pros says here in Sweden. And it is a quite common paint here. Lots and lots of houses and furniture is painted with boiled linseed oil paint here. Dont know the prices in the US but here it costs almost like modern paints, mabye a coupleof dollars more depending on where it is purchased.

@wizardmix Год назад

Hi Kaleb, good to see you on here. So there's this film from the mid 1980's called "Batteries Not Included." It was one of my favorite films for years, it still has a special place in my heart. It's hard to explain because it's far from being one thing. It's definitely a science fiction. There are several sub-plots but the unifying theme is all these people are living in a late 19th century building that a big construction company is trying to demolish. Without giving too much away, it's something that if you haven't watched, I think you should. Let me put it another way: If I hadn't watched "Batteries Not Included" when I was 8, I doubt I would be as fascinated with the history and preservation of old things. Cheers! Evan

@chazzyb8660 Год назад

Great to see you back, and busy! The paintwork looks like it's going to be very exciting. I have to agree with you, Mexico City was/is stunning on so many levels, from the Mayan/Aztec underlay, and on to the succeding generations of Spanish and Mexican styles. All jumbled together, and bits of other styles creeping in and through. Wonderful food, wonderful people, great museums, universities and markets. And flowers everywhere. Wow just wow, and I was only there for a couple of weeks, I would love to visit again someday.

No need to appologize on video timing you keep us informed on what is going on while we may love the house and the restoration we also care about you and Kim. We appreciate you sharing a little bit of your lives with us you are like extended family friends.

@Jan-2020 Год назад

Please stop apologizing. We all understand. The trim on your house is very pretty and it is smart to use linseed oil paint. I know someone that used linseed oil on their wood which stayed beautiful for a long time so it must be the same for the paint. 👋👋👋👋

@alextirrellRI Год назад

Interesting about the mildew growth. I didn't realize that was the reason for the lead. We saw some growth over on 1864 Restoration House's channel when they made their own linseed-oil based paint. Since they made it as pure as possible it doesn't have anything to prevent growth and their test patch is covered in mildew now after a fairly short time.
