      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. 🙂 🙂

    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🎉

  • @DonaldRadcliffe
    @DonaldRadcliffe 10 місяців тому +1

    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.

    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 !

  • @allenchambers8092
    @allenchambers8092 10 місяців тому +1

    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

    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!!

    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.
