Thanks for checking out my vid! If you’re new here, my name’s Marcel. I’ve been renovating a house that I bought with my boyfriend Ben a couple years ago here in Milwaukee and we are finally getting down to the last little bits, which is very exciting. In this video I’m giving our garage a much needed makeover. It’s this dingy brown color with dilapidated windows, warped siding and no rain gutters so she definitely needs some work. I have some big plans for the backyard but I want to focus on this first since it’s the biggest eyesore. I used a paint sprayer to get in all the nooks and crannies, but I mainly did this to not torture myself with having to use a paint brush and roller. I’m really glad I did since it made painting the siding so much easier. Now that the garage finally matches the house, it’s time to move onto the next backyard project. Stay tuned and feel free to subscribe since there’s a lot to do back there.
A little backstory on me … I’ve been living and working in NYC for the past nineteen years, but in 2020 I decided to buy my first home in Milwaukee with my boo. That way he has a place to call home since he already lives here and I’ll have a little escape to go to when I have downtime from work. I’m definitely not a carpenter by any means, but I do think I can accomplish what I have planned for this little house. Hopefully you’ll subscribe and join me on this journey of turning this old house into a home.
Here’s the link to the rain gutter how-to video that I mentioned:
