Creator documents house building progress from @buildwithbert

The creator provides an update on his house-building project. He starts by showing how cold it is by opening a door and letting a cloud of steam rush in. He then gives a tour of the interior, showing the newly taped drywall and coffered ceilings, and mentions he's ready to start painting. While talking to the camera, he points out an injury on his forehead from a fall at work before excitedly demonstrating a long paint roller pole he'll use for the high ceilings.
