0:01 I got to do 10 projects today do you think I can do it you're not yeah I'm I'm gonna edit you out in post I've got a wide open Saturday today so I'm gonna try to knock out I don't know 10 projects if I can that is the goal little little things that I've put off since the beginning of living here today ash and I are thinking about selling our house just in case we do sell and then we need to get the house ready super super quickly than all the small stuff that would be taking all my time will already be done and we can make this thing turnkey I always start projects without finishing them so I have like the last like five percent of like things of so many things around the

0:47 house I'm gonna start easy and then gradually work my way up to harder first we're gonna clean up some leaves that have been piling up for the better part of three months got all these leaves right here I'm open that you can see my face first of all I don't want to say anything prematurely but I think this will be a five minute job [Music] Raaj okay this job out real simple tools gloves oh nice well these are all kind of full of concrete yeah not ideal but

1:32 I'm almost positive these are the only gloves I have alright I still have dexterity in this let's go let's do this thing project number one it's embarrassing that it's even gotten to this point well that ended up taking about 25 30 minutes so this is my biggest flaw as a DIY or is that I underestimate the time on every project I've ever done and I mean 100% of the time like I'm never right about projections I usually try to double it and then if I double it sometimes I'm right but for the most

2:18 part I'm always wrong that's my wife so far not looking good on getting 10 done today but maybe I can get 5 [Music] you see there's like a little cactus right there and then you see all that little green stuff right there and that little green stuff right there yeah those are weeds so I'm gonna pull those weeds and that will count as project number two because it's on my list Oh bonus there's a weed right here [Music] here's today's take all right I failed on getting the the roots on all of them but guess I'm just gonna have to redo

3:04 this in like two weeks still counts as a project though so I just uncovered a new project I think which is pulling out the weeds in the front of my house now so I will count that as three a lot worse than I thought it was gonna be all weeds and weeds right there next project I've purposely put off because it requires me jumping into this crazy jungle that I'm about to show you and taking offense boards and cutting

3:50 them with my table-saw here I'll show you right now oh these weeds who knows what insects are in there gotta take that board off right there cut it down with the table saw and I gotta screw that board back in honestly probably not that bad but still don't want to do it what do you think about this is that my neighbor's don't know that I'm vlogging or my tenants downstairs that may be talking to camera I must look like a total dork but to be fair I am now what you're about to witness is perhaps the greatest physical act of all of mankind I'm so frustrated

4:35 right now or maybe I'm more frustrated with my tripod but my brand-new camera that I just bought fell on the ground yeah I guess I am NOT returning this thing and keeping it for life well the show must go on hey little lady what's wrong oh she's adorable she's so cute today she's 4 months old today I got you I hate getting my table-saw because it requires me moving like everything in my garage [Music] cut and ready to go let's get this thing back up on the fence incomplete project number four fence boards typically have this little slant right here and since I cut so far into it now it just looks

5:22 like a rectangle hopefully it doesn't look too weird with the fence boards I guess I could always just cut a little thing here but I think that'll call too much attention to it so let's get rolling project number four done I started to put two screws in there I don't know if I'm gonna show it because it's not that important and we need to get to the next project so let's just move on huh fine I'll put the other two screws in number five hopefully less than a minute my wife asked me to put a

6:07 cap on this closet rod right here because the clothes our baby's clothes always slide off of it so I'm going to Brad nail it into the side and then we're on to number six boom baby project number six when we installed this tile in the bathroom we chose black grout and then one of my contractor actually grounded it right here he actually put a little bit of mortar right here and didn't do the black grout so there's just a little bit of gray right here and it doesn't match anything else so I could put black grout right here if I wanted to or I could be a genius and Sharpie it and that's exactly what we're gonna do

7:01 I saw wipe work just dandy now you can't tell at all no wait to see what's left damn I don't want to do any of these things scrub backsplash grout all right I can scrub the blacks but the blacks color black splash grout coming up when we remodeled the bathroom we put new a new backsplash right here that's I get it but one of the problems is that there are so much deaths that happened throughout the course of this construction that it got into the grout right here so it looks we're supposed to have black grout but if you look closely you'll see that it's all white right here from so much old death and I've been meaning to clean it out with a toothbrush and I never did again we are

7:48 going on a year and a half of this being like this so this little will scrub a dub and we'll be good to go it already looks like a million times better it's not perfect but it looks a lot better about two or three hours since I did the first seven projects from this video to be honest I got very tired and I had to take a break but I am back I'm ready to finish up so here's what I'm gonna be doing whenever I built this board-and-batten wall it was all mostly smooth and beautiful except for this little section right here and I'm not sure you can really see it so let's see well actually I think you can yeah so you can kind of see these waves right

8:34 here I thought it wasn't gonna bother me but it does bother me so I'm gonna do a lot of work just to fix this [Music] one of the reason I'm knocking out all these projects that have taken me a very long time to do is because me and ash are thinking about selling our house but then we also are thinking about refinancing it and we can't make up our minds I mean honestly it's more me than her but but if we're gonna sell our house and we have to fix a lot of these little details because we want it to sell for a pretty penny and it's just it's not going to sell for the price that we want it to sell for unless I fix a bunch of little mistakes that might pop out to a buyer all right if you

9:19 notice that there's kind of bigger blocks of white and some regards in some parts of the wall that's because that's how uneven the wall was so it was very deep right here and so that's why I filled this in more than everything else everything else was relatively flat except for that little spot same thing happened right here this is all completely uneven so I'm gonna have to go around this whole area right here with this joint compound so let's go let's do this [Music] on to the next one alright so that would be eight nine and then one more over here this is one that I've been putting off

10:05 for years ah so this wall cracked right here and oh my battery died this is certainly the last thing I want to do because it creates so much dust there's a reason that I put this off and it's because of this I mean this is like so much work right here babe yeah now I'm just kidding I am okay done Wow here's

10:53 the mess that I have to clean up like in my entire house okay there you have it ten projects in a day honestly pretty impressed with how much I got done probably more appropriate to call them to do versus projects but for the sake of this vlog and a click Beatty title projects I got 10 things that I have been putting off for like years feels nice to finally knock it out after working on this house for like three years I am actually feeling like I'm getting to a point where I'm running out of projects a project list for this house is actually a bunch of tiny stuff like a bunch of little things that I never got around to but all the really big projects that I've wanted to do like I'm basically done and that feels like so great it's crazy that I've gotten to this point well worth it because as I've

11:38 said my house is appreciated like almost by almost double than from when I bought it so at the end of the day all the hard work does pay off so that's what I'm gonna leave it for today my most productive day probably in like a year so it feels good I'm gonna go drink a beer but I woke oh and don't forget to Like and subscribe and I will catch you on the next episode of Rob built alright see ya yeah what do you think that good transition to say bye alright and bye
