This Ends In DISASTER! 

I’ve been a painter for 30 years you’re absolutely right the paint just didn’t have time to cure just because you can touch paint and it’s dry doesn’t mean it’s cured always always allow time for your paint to cure

I’m sorry for your disaster they say when it rains it pours . Your husband takes issues very well he’s always so calm most would be in a rage. He’s such a wonderful man and is extremely motivated to work .I hope after this going forward he doesn’t have anymore problems. God Bless your beautiful family.

Hoping and Praying all your paint issues have been resolved and that the rest of the build moves along with very few hiccups. Beau certainly isn't camera shy 🤣. Her and Cam are so adorable 🥰. Be Happy 🤣 Safe and Healthy Everyone 💞

I'm struck by the positivity and dedication. You remind me of all that's good in the pioneer heritage. You're humor, perseverance, and hard work are truly fun to watch! Your babies are growing up with such wonderful examples! May God bless each of you!

I totally agree with those who pointed out that painting at those cold temps are generally not recommended for good adhesion and especially with the rainy weather that you have had. I also recognize that sometimes you can't always wait for warmer weather when you are trying to get things done. We should educate, not berate. Not all of us are experts. Thanks for your channel!

With painting metal, temperature and humidity have a lot to do with proper paint adhesion. I only paint metal above 70°, low humidity, full sunshine and no forecasted rain for at least 48 hours.

As much trouble the rain has caused, it’s hard to be too mad at it because it helps fill the water tanks. ✌🏾♥️

the problem with the paint is adhesion, the rain didn't help, but the most important thing to do before painting is always to sand and then clean\de-grease the surface first. I know its not fun sanding something that large because I've sanded large 2 story homes, but it is a very important step. I hope the rest of the paint stays put.......

Beau is just a precious doll!! Cam looks like daddy, adorable!! Love the color!!

Bear is babysitting! So cute. 🙌👍🤣🎊🎉💙 Good luck on the painting.

When you're done pressure washing, let it dry, then sand it to even it out. Use etching primer just on those surfaces to be re-done. Let that dry, then repaint those spots.

The danger of not stripping the paint one way or another, is that water will be left behind some of the paint and cause corrosion, as well as long-term bubbling of the paint layers. You are really faced with having to sand and scrape off the affected areas -- quite thoroughly. Then wait for plenty of time to paint and for it to dry before there is any more rain.

although you have problems and issues, it makes it good to watch because you help others avoid the problems you experience. and the way you fix your problems. thank you. been watching you since you started cleaning up around the barn so you could move into it. you've come a long way and overcame all the problems and issues.

I once made a total novice DIY mistake when painting a bathroom. I bought paint and painted it, it looked great until the bathroom got really humid a couple of times and the paint started blistering and sagging on the walls. That was when I learned that you don't put regular paint over oil base paint without some sort of undercoating. I guess we all live and learn.

Oh that's so cool that you have the Red Wing Blackbirds too. We live way down south close to Brownsville and there's always one day in February when they just all arrive on the same day and it's 1 billion of them every year.

I think it is great that you both can laugh at your own inequities and mistakes. You both are a great inspiration to all who watch your videos and your journey. Truly a blessing to us all.

At this point, i'd get a sand blaster. You can sand the entire side almost as fast and easily as you painted it. (Except you need face masks, and to keep the wife and kids away, sand particulate is nasty to lungs).

Spencer says it’s the worst building experience. Maybe just mentally? When you were doing all the drywall in the house seemed a lot more difficult. And when you were under the house all that time dealing with the spray foam stuff? That seemed brutal! Love watching you guys. And your kids are adorable. ❤

In the paint stores they'll have a tool called a 5 in one or a 9 in one that works well as a scraper, a paint can opener, a nail remover, it has those round edges you were looking for and has a sharp cornered edge for poking or digging into crevasses. Also you want the paint to "cure", as latex paints generally dries to the touch within a few hours but takes 24 to 48 hours to cure. When doing exteriors I always wait 48 hours before doing a 2nd coat and make sure I'll have 5 days of dry weather before even starting to paint. I don't want customers calling me back 6 months later and I have to do it all again. Hope some of that helps!

Love seeing Beau and Cam! Paint is great, too bad you had the rain issues! Probably a combination of cool temperatures and the rain! Wait for warmer dryer weather! Love your videos! Enjoy the build!

In my experience, paint and water do not mix well unless they are really rare special formulations. Even dew or humidity, can affect the results, so I can see you face some strong challenges with the container. However, I like the way that you have a moment or two of introspection, then you pick yourself up and start over. Your children and dogs are wonderful.

Man you both are living the dream. It's amazing to have watched you throughout the years. It really shows what hard work can do. Esp. Seeing you from the beginning. Watching your family grow and all your projects. I can't believe how big she Is now!

Great work, but cold weather moisture in the air is bad for painting. 55 degrees and colder paint will not stick.

Here's what happened. You painted in cold weather. The metal may have been dry when you sprayed but over night the metal got cold and condensated thus developing paint blisters because the moisture got trapped between the metal and paint.

Much respect to you guys battling through the hard times when nothing goes right

You both have and continue to do an amazing job. I've truly enjoyed watching your family grow during this build.

As always.... superior videography, superior story lines, superior audio mixing, superior problem solving, superior construction detail. Always a pleasure to watch! Beau is a beautiful young lady!

sorry to see that issue! From what I remember it's not just the rain. If it's cold outside (especially on metal) the sun will heat it up the outside but the inside stays somewhat cold & after you paint, the entire thing gets cold again causing condensation/moisture under the paint!

Spencer, Painting is mostly all the prep required, vs the paint application... The area that bubbled up likely had no scuffing for paint to adhere to when the rain infiltrated the damp paint. As you learned, scraping then scuffing before priming is essential. Getting a second spot treat of all distinguishing areas before two full coat of paint to ensure uniformity will help a lot. One full coat or two of primer will help with giving top coat a clean surface with no blemishes.

The color ya'll picked is spot on, matter of fact, alittle brown, and black thrown up there wouldn't hurt either..lol In my day, it was called "Woodland Camo". Sorry for the bubbles, and it'll be alot of work to fix them, but we'll worth it in the end! Love ya'll ❤️

We had the problem too. It was too cold to paint.

I painted my garage and its wood but I did the same mistake.. It was late in the year and was dew on the ground every morning. When I woke up the next morning the paint was dry but had water bubbles under it just like that. I left it alone till spring cause I was upset lol. Came back and scraped it just like you did and brushed primer over it then rolled a whole fresh coat and its been fine since. But I think it was something to do with the temps and the moisture in the air.. Good sunny warm weather is best to paint for sure..

It would be fun to have a tour of your house again... also, it would be fun to see you cook something, but no worries. You are all so sweet.

Oh my! My daddy said (after listening to me cry about some project I was working on that had to be redone over and over) “do-it-yourself projects always means do it over and over!

most paints have limits on how cold it can be when you put it on - often 45-50 degrees is the min. even if it says you can go lower the cold weather will really slow down the cure

What a bummer. All that extra work. I found when painting in the Coast Guard Latex over Enamel is ok to do, but Enamel over Latex... It just does not want to stick or dry correctly.. Good Luck, Hope it's hot enough to really bake the paint that should help a lot. I have been watching your progress from the beginning and you guys have put out some awesome videos God Bless

That looks amazing! And you can’t even see the primer threw. Well with the exception of the water damage. You guys can fix that. I don’t think that will show when you guys touch all that up. But it’s gonna look amazing.

You guys are awesome. You've accomplished so very much. Just wondering why you don't wait until dry season to paint. Work on inside now. Anyway, no way I could do what you've done and are doing. Keep going. You're doing great. ❤️

I like the color. It blends in more with Nature.

Mid Australian summer, near the coast, the paint bubbled and dripped off a steal sheet parapet due to a light sea fog You ou need a 35 degree day to paint water base paint, like hear today. I'm glad you are making living space out of the 3rd container,

I would just sand it…I started writing that in when Kenzie suggested that in the vlog. You can’t use water for everything. Sanding sometimes is the way to go. I know, it’s a pain in the keister- but, I am sure that you both could just take turns between watching the kids and sanding. 😊 You should be proud of yourselves…the viewers are! ❤ JDI!!! Take a little break and go away for a few days, you deserve it…after you finish that painful task! There is nothing wrong with rewarding yourselves! JDI! You can paint later when it’s warmer and when you have a few good weather days in the forecast ahead. Spencer- (or Spenser)- do not put so much pressure on yourself, seriously. Pick two different days…schedule them apart. The first one Dad will be the first to go out for his massage and then Kenzie and the kids will pick him up for lunch or dinner. A month later, do the same but switch roles for mom. This is a suggestion…why not try.

I just had a flash back from the movie "The Birds", lol. I have every faith that you will figure the paint problem out. Sending Love and Hugs your way 💙💜🩷💙🐶🐶

O my goodness. I hope this primer dries before those rains set in again. Anxious to see how this turns out. BTW, I like the sea foam green color. Good luck !

That is a tough situation with the paint. Hope all goes better on the new coat.

You guys are a great inspiration! Been seeing your videos since the very start! Some time I binge watch all over again 😂 ❤

Spencer, try to remember that 99.9% of the people that see the container will not see, notice, the “flaws” that you and Kenzie see. Just make Kenzie promise NOT to say anything or point any of them. You always do perfect precise work. Try to remember that you always do THE best you can.

The water come from the condensation in your compressor which come thru your hole into the spray gun... I learn just like this and now I use water filters that connect to the air tank... I'm glad to see we are normal and that we are not the only ones who have done this... Let it dry... sand it off and respray just make sure you drain the water out of the hose.. gun and compressor...

You guys work so hard, sorry the painting has to be redone. It did look great! The kids are so adorable! That was a lot of birds! Love watching you please keep going.❤

Gosh the pond is looking amazing! So glad you did the bubbleator!!!

Your daughter is so adorable and she made me smile.

Wow that was a setback. A couple of suggestions. Get an extension wand for your airless sprayer of 18 to 24 inches. They are only about twenty bucks, and you can stand up without bending over on top, and can paint most or all of the sidewalls standing on the ground again without bending, and only a stepladder to reach the top of the sides. Also scrape off any stickers you can before painting, even if you have to use a heatgun on them. I painted the two containers I use for storage 10 years ago and the painting went well, but the paint did peel off with some of the original stickers. It may also be worth getting some clearcoat and putting a top coat to help with the longer term sun fading.

My heart breaks for you two☹️☹️. God Bless💗

Hi guys - love your videos!! Please take a moment and read the drying temperatures on the paint can. Normally it will say above 52F. Drying temps may be your issue \

Spencer, what a disappointment after all your hard work. Things can only get better. Just look at your lovely family and smile. Love from Mike. ❤

No, see construction models and you have to redirect, it can be one with French doors. They close the excess windows, with sheetrock and welding the pieces of metal. They mount the kitchen on the wall

It's awful that you had to deal with bubbling paint, but with all that rain your containers must be full. With the bad comes the good. I hope?

So sorry for the paint issues you had on the container, but boy, do i love the color you choose. Its absolutely fablous and difficult to detect in the forest. I love it

Oh, dear. I'm so sorry! You two are resilient so I know you will push through.

Paint will bubble or peal if the metal surface is below 50 degrees. It happen to me when I painted the back of my barn when it was below 50 degrees the paint bubbled and when I painted the sides and the front when it was 70 degrees it did not. I was lucky that I started in the back because it faces the woods so you don't notice the mistake.

Hope you recover from this and better days will come. What you have done & restored an unused container is very creative. God blessings to you all. Thanks for sharing ❤

The colour is great. I’d call it gumleaf green and I love the way this colour settles into the landscape.

Rich with Love, that's been the story you've shared this whole journey. Love you guys.

Be encouraged!! And thank you.

Your kids are sooo cute. I think a common tactic for painting broad metal surfaces is to sand blast the surface, dust it off, then apply paint\primer(always in a dry environment). Love you guys, thanks for sharing.

Aloha from Germany .. I just can’t tell you how much I enjoy watching your videos. You guys are awesome ….really.

I've been a professional painter for .. never! I would probably have done everything as you did and learn along the way. With each video you're one step closer to family visiting.

my mother painted water based paint over oil based paint in our bathroom. The oil based paint had been on for years. it took about a year but the enamel water based paint started bubbling up in the bathroom as well. Suggest you apply oil based paint or you might have the same problem all over again.

Have someone come and pick up the container and stick build!

Id really love to see the pond now as it is. I'll bet it is a huge difference from before the bubbler system.

Im so sorry guys, keep your head up it will get better soon.🐶🤗

Please conver the door and window openings. It doesn't do the plywood floor to be getting soaked time and again.

Sometimes the primer is not consistent or compatible with the paint check out if it can work well with your top coat also scrape paint and sand edges. Lead painter on 5 crews experience. Try Sherwin & Williams metal latex it's an industrial coating maybe prime whole container temperature and moisture are essential to watch paint soon as air gets above 50 °F hurry so you'll have all day for paint to dry surface might flash under paint may not dry as metal is cold. Best David

Looks great I work with wood, and my experience is that you can’t put water based varnish over oil based products. Cheers Mark

Can't believe how far you guys have come.

I always get excited when I see an upload 😊 That was a lot of rain coming down, I love it wish we had it here in Pittsburg, CA I love the rain and ugly days. Sweats and jackets my thang lol

What a mess! Little Beau is such a ham. My 3 were just as bad, when their Grandmother would come for a visit they would immediately stop what what they were doing and plop themselves in front of her and say “we’ll smile for u Gramma” so she could take their pictures.

Yous guy have worked wonders oon your homestead 🖐️

The reason I'm taking on DIY projects at home

I'd leave it for the moment. Come back to it in the slightly warmer weather! Carry on with the build.

Should invest in a tarpaulin/cover for the whole container. It'll keep the rain out.

I hope you’ll never stop with your projects and videos, I look forward to your videos every-time!!

Hi guys ! Love your channel been here from the beginning ❤ much love !

Just a few things that I think can help: 1) The big box stores sell extensions for the paint sprayer that will allow you much more comfort while spraying in most conditions and they allow you to cover a bigger area without moving as often. 2) They make a spray tip for your pressure washer that spins like a high dollar Jacuzzi jet.. It is a MONTER TIME and BACK SAVER and it makes hitting every square inch FAR BETTER and because it works so well, you spend much less time power washing!!! 3) Before I massively ruined my back, I worked rebuilding power plants. One thing I got stuck doing was sand blasting huge steel ducts for boilers. (I MEAN MASSIVE)!! We used a "POT" Sand Blaster with a towable air compressor.. We rented the works and bought the sand. (Black Beauty). It will cost you a few hundred bucks, but it will save you weeks of prepwork inside and out... Quite often we reused the same sand after it had been collected on visqueen.. (plastic sheet). Prep work is the hard part and the most needed thing to be done right for every longlasting project..

Love the video as always, sorry for what happened on the container, hope you are able to get it done sooner than later, at least you are getting lots of water for the summer time. Glad to see the children having fun in yard. 🐕🐕❤❤❤.

Woot woot! Was thinking bout y'all yesterday! Love your family!

🦋Love the color by the way. I think you need to train your daughter how to use the Camera before she gets too used to being in front of it. She’s delightful! Much love and many blessings to everyone for all your hard work putting these videos together and taking it on this journey.

That's the perfect color!!! Good luck with the weather...🤞🤞🤞

The same thing happened to me in Florida. too hot and my paint peeled up on some trailer parts I spray painted, Too often we are so focused on the ambient temp and the prep we forget the temperature of the material matters.

Time really passes by so fast, your daughter is so big.

I love y’all n your lil family 😩🥳🇹🇹

Love, love, love the Color!!! Love you all! 💕💕💕

That’s why we use oil based paints on containers. We also tent off areas that are to be painted if containers are outdoors. We did a diamond plate ramp with oil based paints and it took five days to completely cure in 58° weather.

You two really are an inspiration to young couples.

You two are amazing! Love watching your channel GOD bless you and your family. Love the furbabies! I was curious do they sleep inside because of all the wild animals, snakes and what nots? May your channel continue to grow! Blessings from Cali❤️

When you have temperatures in the 30's, the very least you want is 3-4 sunny days, even if not warm days, for the primer and paint to dry AND cure...

Great job as always. I think I would have looked up when it's the wet season and dry season for your area and planned to do outside painting coming into the dry season . But it's mother nature for you

I like the paint it looks nice, your daughter is such a cutie, hope everything works after you having to do all of it over again, Good luck.

Spencer is one of the hardest workers I know.

The color you chose is great. Hopefully, you have temperatures above 15C. Paint does not cure properly in cold temperatures. The one beef I have with paint is not the paint itself, but the very tiny, unreadable, print on the paint cans.

Very sorry about the paint issue. The kids are very cute. Hope everything goes better after you address the paint issue.
