Something my sister taught me when taping off parts to paint is, after putting down the tape, paint it with the base color, let it dry, then put down the trim paint. This will allow the base color to fill in those inevitable leaks and when you peel off the tape you have a sharp line.

Great Job - Big fan - love the circle window - i just wish i had a CNC! My one suggestion if i may: You should have put a small piece of bent metal kick-out flashing under the last siding piece and lap it over the head trim of the door to keep wind-driven rain from getting inside the gap at the door (making a drip edge goes a long way to weatherproofing a door head). Looking forward to more quality content (& outtakes)!

I know I forget sometimes but if you turn the brad nailer 90° when the brads deflect they will do so within the plywood. I'm not sure if that makes sense.
