 We are alive. We're alive. What's up, you guys? It is I, Erica, and it is he, Jeffrey. We are artists till death. We do resin things and also all the art things. Today, we're doing countertop things. This is a laminate for Micah-esque countertop. And she didn't want it to be those things. So we are gonna change them. This is actual marble, granite-y things that we're also gonna be doing. It feels heavy. It feels real. Like if you look under it where the tiles meet something else, you can see that the marble design goes all the way through, so marble. Anyways, we got to LA this morning and we will be doing this kitchen. So I wanted to go over how to properly mask off kitchen so that you don't ruin it while you do resin-y things. Do you wanna take this? You know? Or do you wanna show or you wanna take? Okay, so let's start bottom up. We always mask off the floor at least a couple of feet out because you never know what the splash zone is gonna be and if you miss it and it sets, it's a pain to get off later. So since it's two feet, two feet, we just did the whole floor. Little dexter action. And then we came out here. We're gonna cover this side of that oven. And we did this as well so we can kind of have an area to put stuff. I'm correct. So we did the floor first and then did tape. We did, actually we did tape first, then we put the plastic over the tape so that just in case it went under, there's tape under the plastic. Right, resin's sneaky and it's gonna do what you don't want it to do. So we also tape up the walls and anywhere we're gonna paint, we have a paper masking or splash zone. Yes. And we will definitely put a piece right there. I forgot about that part. Just like the outside on the baseboards, we pre-taped and then put the paper and then overtaped. Again, that's because we don't want anything to get under and get on anything we can't wipe it off of. Because it's easy to wipe it off when you notice it, but when you're doing something like a countertop, it's very easy to not see where it drips or splashes or gets to until it's too late. And I don't have her wall color paint. So better safe than sorry. Anything that you do prep like this, motto is better safe than sorry. I'm sorry, it looks like I haven't slept in a week. So appliances and drawers, we taped the top of each drawer and the top of each appliance before taping the tarps to it. Yeah, we pulled the drawers out slightly, taped the drawers, pushed them back in and then put the tarp over it. You can see where we added tape prior to the tarp. Did that all around the top of everything. These drawers happen to have like a down slant because the building's kind of older. So we're taping it so that if something does run in, it doesn't run down and pull, it runs down and out. You don't wanna have resin cooling on your tape because it may tear it when you like take it off. Rhonda's in the house. Hi Rhonda, she's probably looking just like. She made that, this person put that, what is that? Where? The pink fridge. It's shelf paper. Shelf paper. It's like our contact. Everything in pretty much. Everywhere. She has a lot of pink. She had somebody come in and paint that on her wall. She's got the pink pink, pink door, pink, pink wall. All the pink stuff, pink chairs. There's a blender. Rhonda, anything that we're saying that's wrong, fix it. Fix it. Rhonda is like queen countertop, so if she says something, listen. So she's probably looking at us like that's extra, but. I love to do extra. Also, sinks. If you have like a drop sink, that you may wanna rise and do that, but this sink is not in our estimate, so it's taped off. We basically dexter the kitchen. Yes. Where it could possibly get. And it's always the corners, like these places that are really tricky because it'll get under and it'll kinda go underneath there and it'll drip on, which is a nightmare because you don't see it, because you leave the plastic up. So I just put tape all over here and then I put tape here and here on the actual cabinets and then I put the tape over the plastic and then the plastic over that. We tape plastic and then tape. Yeah. And also paper. So the next step we gotta do is we're gonna tarp off this part of the. You know, we'll just put a big top here so we can probably use this to mix stuff on. We're gonna mix it in the shelf. The next step is gonna be. Sanding. Sanding and cleaning off bonding primer. Yes. We're gonna get colors and then we're gonna do the art layer. So, but today, the last thing we do today is going to be the bonding primer and base painting and then we have to let that off gas, de-gas, un-gas, or to let it rest for overnight so that it doesn't trap those gases under the resin and it could cause it to yellow. And since we're doing a lot of white, it's horrible. So we don't want that. So we're gonna let that do its thing overnight and then tomorrow we're gonna come back in and we're gonna do the art layer. Let that rest overnight and then we're gonna come back in and do the flood coat. Flared care. All goes well. Nothing lands in it. This place is a lot like our studio in that there's not like a wall that separates the kitchen from dusty things. So... We possibly could put a drop cloth right up there. I'm thinking about, yeah, that kind of sticks up there. We've had an unroll, which is... How would you prep this marble the same way we do everything else? Yeah, I hope she knows that these are like... I've told her. I can't do anything about tiles. I'm not filling in. So that's the game plan. And I'm actually gonna live while we do this the art layer or if we're going to just pre-record it. We'll see, maybe we'll do some for the gold or something. Yeah, it's gonna look really good. Rhonda helped me with a sable board. Client loved it. And that's what we're here to do. To do. Any questions? Doesn't look like it. Let me show you guys. Yeah, we're watching some college ball. See if we can get you a sunset. She lives right at the edge of Beverly Hills. Oh, you can kinda see some sunset. I went down, where'd we go down Hollywood Boulevard? Sunset. All right, let's get to sanding. Okay. We're gonna sand life. It would just be like. All right, watch us do that. Anyway, so if you guys have any questions, leave them in the comments down below. If you sent me any messages to our business line, I haven't answered them since we went to Hurricane Delta ground zero. So please be patient with me. I probably won't really get to answering questions until we get back from LA because this is a full-time gig when we're on location and it has all of our attention. So anyways, follow us on all of our other social media things, see live footage while we're doing this. And if you have any questions, leave them down below or shoot me a text at 214.

I won't be getting to that phone text until we get back. So if you have suggestions on anything or what you would like to see, leave it in the comment box down below this video. But somebody will be there doing orders, yes. Yeah, we have someone doing orders while we're out. So if you are ordering things, they'll still get them in a timely manner.
