Down South the traditional color for an outdoor ceiling on a porchvus Sky Blue. It would have nice contrast with your house color. Take care. 🙂 🙂
FlexiSpot is a good fit for your home.🥰
That bright white trim against that blue/grey color--NICE !!!!! Oh ,and happy happy Jim !!!
Thank you Mr. Bill!
Three French doors would have been beautiful across the front of the home. A cottage appearance.
It’s still very nice with the windows and door. Great craftsmanship ❤
I am sure that I’m not the only one who’s inspired by your unique style of decor and style. Kudos to you both. Honored to be connected virtually! 💙❤️❤️✨
I cut sofet pieces with the blade turned backwards. Lydia paints so neatly I would never say a word for fear I would get painted.
Thank you for the tip Ralph!
Happy birthday Jim. Remember that your wife is the best gift you’ll ever get so treat her right! I know I always do!😜
Thank you!
Hey , Jim turn a plywood blade around backwards on your skill saw to cut vinyl siding and soffit. Happy Birthday!!
Paint looks great, and doing the cutout around EVERY batten just doesn't sound like fun in any weather. Kudos for tackling that. oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY Jim!!!
Definitely takes more time than we thought…. Thank you for the birthday wishes!
My god man you have such a beautiful wife and with skills even a man would envy. Happy birthday Jim.
Thank you!
Happy Birthday JIm! Lucky guy you are to have a wife that can do what she does, and she is very beautiful! Such stunning eyes, hair, and etc....
Happy birthday Captain Croc,may you be blessed with many more .
Thank you!
tip of the day,,, turn your saw blade backwards in your chop/miter saw when cutting vinyl,, works fine for me.....👍👍
Awesome! Thank you!
Jim, you can reverse the blade on your circular saw and cut the soffett . Youll bee surprised how decent the cut turns out.
I’ll definitely try that next time! Thank you!
Happy birthday Jim 🎂 🥳
Lydia absolutely rocked that painting out! Glad y'all had a wonderful day, looks great.
Thank you!
We really enjoying watching her work, don't stop her
A Big Happy Birthday shout out to Jim! I hope you get a cool hootis!
Thank you Missy!
A lot of hard work done there Miss Lydia, well done you!
The soffits look great too Jim but you defo had the easy job today 😂😂
another tip when painting cut everything in with a brush or wiz roller before rolling , may have to do it twice depending on coverage but it will save you time and gie you a smoother finish , love you guy and gal ! Mr. HOOTIS !
Thank you John!
Very nice paint colour,house looks clean,fresh,and inviting!!! Happy Birthday,Jim.Enjoy your Special Day! 🎂🍰🥳
Thank you!!
Happy Hootis Birthday Jim... And for cutting the soffit , I turned the blade backwards on the miter saw ... Not as aggressive cutting
Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!
🎂🎈🎉 Happy Birthday, Jim. Have a wonderful day 🎉🎈🎂
Thank you Tara!
I painted houses professionally with my father for years when I was younger. We always did it with a paint brush and roller. Spraying is ok but you got to water down the paint and it’s messy also it’s less pride to have done it by hand. 😊 also it will last longer without having to do another coat. Great job🎉
Thanks for sharing!
Jim any time you need to cut metal like you're doing .Take the blade off your off saw, and turn it around backwards. it cuts sheet metal like your using, like a charm. I use to install mobile home skirting and that's what we used.
Great tip! Thank you!
Happy birthday Mr. Hootis! Turn ur blade around on the miter saw. This will help
Thank you! That makes sense!
Damn Lydia all I got to say is girl you got some good patience to paint all that front and it looks fabulous it looks better than the sides very good job sweetie keep up the good work
Thank you!😁
YER VERY WELCOME
Lydia put Jim in the dog box blaming you. Ladies are always right? 😂😊 Great to see the front coming along nicely it’s been a while, had forgotten what it looked like 😮😂. Great work on the painting ❤ Until the next one. Go team Lydia we know you do the work here ❤❤
Robin…. Jim stays in the dog house😂 thank you and hope that you are having a great week!
Happy Birthday Jim. Have a wonderful and special day.
Thank you Ron!

Happy Birthday Jim, we all forgive you for breaking the socket plate/cover hootis 😂🤣😂😆👍
Thank you! 😂😂
Happy birthday Jim.
That sure looked like a lot of work for one area. Glad you got it knocked out. Painting looked great Lydia!
Thank you Gary!
Happy Birthday Jim, enjoy your day!
Thank you!
Happy Birthday Jim 🎂. Hooe your dad was stupendous ❤
Thank you!
God, I love that side eye/rolling her eyes at her husband just made me laugh. My wife does the same thing to me lol.
😂😂
Happy Birthday, Capt. Crocs!!!! House is looking great. God bless Lydia for painting that with a brush and roller. Have I ever mentioned I hate painting? 🤣 Good job Jim on making sure there was other stuff that needed done so you didnt have to paint. Very wise man! 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you Bodie! Yes sir, I would have loved to help with the painting but I had so much other stuff to do 😉😎
Happy, happy birthday, Jim.
Wow it's lookin' good! Your painting skills stand out. I'm with Jim, I'd rather shovel Hog **** than paint. Happy Birthday Jim!
Thank you! Too funny 😂😂
Happy Birthday Jim. Paint job and soffits look good.
Thank you Darren!

Thank you!
Happy Birthday Jim ,,,,,,,,,,,good job getting old my friend🎂🥃🥃🍺🍺🍺
Thank you!
Happy Birthday Jim & many many more!
Thank you!
Just a pro tip ,whn cutting plastic or vinal siding you can use your chop saw if you turn the blade around to cut in the opposite direction and it will cut flawlessly , just take the blade of and put it on backwards !
Great tip! Thank you!
On the miter saw…. when cutting soffit material I like to use a plywood blade installed backwards. You’ll probably be done by the time you read this but maybe try it next time. Have a great holiday guys!!!
Thanks for the tip! Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Birthday Jim🎉🎉 have a great day. Your house is coming together so nice. Alot of hard work but beautiful.
Thanks so much Melissa!
Happy Birthday Captain Croc (Jim)💥💥💫🎂
Thank you!!
That desk is so cool. So neat Ladly can lower it so she can use it. Nice how the texture of the siding pops once it is painted. Wow, the front of the house looks really nice. Nice work y'all.
Thank you Ray, we really appreciate that!
@@CajunCountryLivin You are very welcome.
Happy B-Day Jim
Thank you!
Happy Bday Jim......lov from south alabama..a beautiful day to work outside.
Thank you!
Happy Birthday Jim, a real trooper on the paint job. I was wondering if you are planning on putting an overhang on the front of the pouch, if not how are you keeping the rain out without a end ridge cap. It is great watching your family work together.
Thank you! That’ll be coming up real soon!
Looks great. Happy Birthday Jim hope you have as great day
Thank you!
Happy Birthday Jim, enjoy your sunny day 😊
Thank you!
Hey Jim Happy Birthday. Just to let you know, when you cut vinyl on a miter saw you gotta turn the blade around backwards. Also if you use it to cut anything cement based, like your siding, you can't use the blade for anything else
Thank you! And thank you for the tip!
Not only backwards, but also use the cheapest fine tooth blade you can find. Happy Birthday Jim!
Thank you!
Happy Hootis Birthday, Jim 😁🎈🎂🥳🙏
Thank you!
Happy Birthday Jim, have a wonderful day
Thank you!
both of you do perfect job all fits perfectly, best regards from FRANCE.

Happy Birthday Jim, have a wonderful day! 🎊 🎉🎂

A paneling blade installed backwards works great for cutting vinyl and aluminum siding.
Happiest of Birthdays Jim.
The porch is looking awesome.❤❤❤
Thank you!
Your house looks beautiful, ❤ the color, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIMMY AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING ❤
Thank you!!!😊
Happy birthday. You put the blame very nicely.
Thank you! 😂
The front is looking nice! Good work
Thank you!
Happy Birthday Captain Crocs!
Thank you for taking time on your birthday to show me how to cut vinyl soffit with a miter saw. I'm banking that away for the future.
Finish work is tedious. What y'all are doing is really looking fantastic!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you Delbert!
LOVE the shade of the blue you chose!
Thank you!
Put your blade on backwards to cut vinyl
Ahhhhh that makes really good sense! Thank you!
Wow very good 👍 you are wonderful work 😊
Happy Birthday Jim! Many blessings friend. Keep up the great work, as usual!
Thank you!
I hope you have a very happy birthday Jim
Thank you Lorraine!
Good morning y'all, great to see you again my friends. Happy Birthday Jim! I hope this trip around the sun is your best one yet. Lydia and Jim, you are so much fun to share some time with, I always look forward to you latest vlog! I love you guys, your projects and the approach to them ... do a good job and have fun doing it. I live the color choice I see going on by the door. It's a nice color tone and is set of nicely by the white. The soffit looks great and trimmed out very well as did the fascia board. Lydia is such a skilled, patient and hard worker. It is nice to see her involved as much as she is with everything and also being a great Mom to Ladly!! Jim you are a very lucky man and she most definitely makes you two the fantastic couple you are. Props for another nice job of editing and music selection. I know this takes a lot of time and commitment and I certainly appreciate it very much. Have a great and productive week ahead. Happy Thanksgiving!!
Thank you so much! What a super thoughtful comment! Definitely made us smile!😊
Happy Happy birthday Jim 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤
Thank you!
🎈Happy Birthday Jim🎈
Thank you!
I use tin snips to cut vinyl soffit and siding. It works well and only takes 20-30 seconds for each cut.
Awesome good to know!
I would like to add a comment about painting. Spraying maybe faster but is it better for your application. The two of you are parents and building a home that means busy people. How often do you want to redo the paint. Spraying puts on the least amount of paint and will wear out first, rolling is in the middle, and using the brush puts more paint on and lasts the longest.
Very good point!
Happy Birthday Jim hope you have a great day 🎉
Thank you!
Happy birthday Jim!!! Thank you both for all the wonderful content! 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks so much!
I have got to admit as a retired home builder and remodeler for over 45+ years after watching you two start this build to where you are today is absolutely mind blowing and I congratulate the two of you for surviving as a team for as long as you have. Now enough of you guys how about that beautiful baby! God bless yall and happy holiday cheers from all of us in NC.
Thank you so much! We truly appreciate that compliment!
Happy Birthday.....love the color you slected
Thank you!
I seen those looks Lydia was giving you… I’m gonna say this happy birthday Mr. Jim before Lydia takes your birthday away cause mister many more looks like that and your birthday is gonna get canceled 🥳 HAPPY THANKSGIVING everybody
This was too funny Mr. George!😂 Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
The paint looks very nice great job
My home is 30 feet tall and when I painted it, I set an Alexa in a window, climbed the ladder, then told Alexa to turn on the paint sprayer. The paint machine only has a 20 foot hose so I had to place it in a window & plug it into a smart outlet because I could not walk up the ladder with it on.
Very cool idea!
Pretty smart! Put that robot to use.
Now that is the hootis's of all hootises.
Love the Paint color! Blue’s & green’s are my favorites! What great work you guy’s do!🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
Jim if you have very much of the soffit to cut you might want to try a 0 or negative hook blade, it doesn't pull the saw into the material. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Jim. Thanks again for the great content.
Thanks for the tip and thank you for the birthday wishes!
HOPE YOU HAVE A HAPPY HOOTIS BIRTHDAY JIM!!!
Thank you!
happy birthday jim have a great day
Thank you!
Happy Birthday Capn Crocs!
Thank you!
Happy birthday Jim!! Marie walked by just as you said something about "a lot of hot air", she looked at me and asked, "Is he talking about you?" .🤔😂
Thank you! Lol! It sounds like Mrs. Marie has got your number😂😂
Happy birthday, Jim 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Have a blessed day. The house is looking really great so far.❤ Hopefully, one day, we will get a tour. 😊
Thank you! Will definitely do a tour in the future!
To cut with the miter saw flip the blade around backwards. Much less aggressive but still gives you a really nice cut.
Happy Birthday Mr. Jim
Thank you!
Happy Birthday Jim, I hope your day was truly special.
Thank you!
Flip the blade around on the saw. Sounds counter productive but is much more gentle on the siding.
Oops someone else already said this 😂 also a ceramic cutting blade on a cutoff wheel works well too
Great idea!

Happy Birthday Jim 🎉🎉
I'll tell you what.. does she break things a lot around the house?
[Psst, buy her gifts, she won't break things after that]
🥳
Thank you!
Good idea…. I should try that for sure😂
Happy birthday Jim 🎉 🇬🇧
