Our builders could have learnt a lot from you guys

I always put i tiny spacer under the skirting so that you can slide some newspaper under the skirting when painting, makes life so much easier

Short of biscuiting the joints this is all you need. Nothing over the top, a good professional finish and achievable for the DIY enthusiast 👌🏻

great video guys. learnt plenty here. You can save space with your lighting setup by only using 1 stand / light. Buy the Aputure 300x with an Aputure lantern attachment and aim it towards the ceiling. It will fill out the room fine

Great video lads, how much pins roughly would you nail into a length? Cheers

Sick video!

Question though, at 1:02 you show us what happens if there's layers of paint build up and the walls aren't straight anymore. When you placed the skirting along the wall, there's little wave gaps between the skirting and the wall. Can that be filled in or is it not worth it?
