Love the part where your wife says she wants it white ‘you’re painting it then…’ next shot it’s you painting it… probably the most relatable thing I’ve ever seen!!😂😂👏🏻👏🏻
Looks great but i Have to agree the natural stone looked so much better im not a fan of painted stone but its obviously each to there own and everyone has different taste.
Yeah, I wouldn't buy a house with painted stone...
100% agreed. Natural dark gray stack stone would phenomenal with this.
The original color looks better. They basically made a checker board house. White stones?? looks hella weird
I agree and I also hate the White House black trim and black windows trend. They are popping up all over Chicago suburbs and look very tacky. Seems like the most basic and safest option for a home color but i expect the trend to look very bad in a few years maybe a decade.
Yeah, it looks old. I think because that's what every old house, especially with z-brick, does when they sell. They put a cheap coat of paint on and call it "updated"
FYI we designed the siphon pickup of the sprayer to fit in your paint bucket through the spout hole on top so you don’t have to remove the lid off your bucket. We recommend you to do it in that matter to help reduce the volume air drying in the bucket and to help avoid contaminates from entering the paint. Awesome video, glad the sprayer worked well for you!
Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt and directions to make every day project. I can see myself making a few of these projects and giving them as housewarming and holiday gifts!
Def should’ve left the stone natural. Looks great. Love the door 🚪
Mistake, should have left the natural stone as it was. Would have looked great.
Especially when you consider the beige windows.
And if you want to change the color use a masonry acid stain. Painting on Natural Stone is retarded
And it actually looks better black than white because stone is generally darker so they should have just left it painted black at that point
I dunno white rock growing on me. Beige windows less than ideal.
That is so ture
Having just bought a house last year and doing all sorts of projects to to fix up the house, things that I have no idea how to do, I really enjoy this channel. And projects always take longer than expected, especially if you haven’t done it before or a lot. Keep up the great content. You’re welcome to come to my house and help any time!
I actually like how the black shows through a little on the stone. Adds dimension. It looks great!
The paint job looks great!
Loved the natural stones before it was painted. I feel like it would have worked with the beige on the windows and new paint.
Should have washed it and maybe polishe fit up
Every man in a relationship knows that exact feeling you had when she didn’t like the color!! I felt your pain!!
Way to apologies and love up on each other.
Love the color
Natural stones would look great, but the white stones actually match the white and black theme of the house perfectly. Great job!
Yep. I’m with you on this. You definitely shouldn’t have painted the stone and the combo of the white black and brown was gonna look very nice.
Yeah I reckon should have painted the layer above the stone black then the rest not painted
I loved how you were vulnerable and included the every day frustrations that a lot of people are scared to share on social media platforms.
We just painted our house and I am amazed at how good of coverage we were able to do. It is amazing the quality. I am glad to see you doing it yourself. Your house looks so updated and beautiful.
Ours had this green trim from the 90’s haha I couldn’t believe what a difference just changing the trim did. I encourage everyone if you are healthy enough, paint your own house.
Hey brother. I've been building houses and remodeling for 23 years. I run from painting. Your house looks great.
I’ve gotta say I love the white stone! Keeps the clean, white look of the walls but adds some texture to it. Natural stone would’ve worked as well, but the white is definitely my favorite
Alex, you killed it!!! Your workmanship is bar none. Congrats and enjoy all the looks from neighbors driving by.
I completely loved all the husband/wife dynamics and the camaraderie you both enjoy. I enjoyed how you both just kept it real and were yoiurselves.
The natural stone was beautiful and should have stayed 😩 Painted stone is never the aesthetic and comes off tacky in my opinion. Maybe grey would have been another option for the stone. The house looks amazing tho! Great job!
My house is cream vinyl and crappy red brick. It’s a horrible combination but I don’t want to paint the brick either
After it was painted, it was done.. A grey with brown or blue/green tones would have looked more natural on the stone texture.
Looks great but black windows will definitely completely the look.
Personally I would have left the stone and did a greige on the trim to bring out the stone.
I think the beige windows look good against the white and black. Sometimes white and black can look way too plain. But the green door and the contrasting "off-white" beige color of the windows gives it just enough contrast to look really good. I would leave them as-is. Really good video here. This is the type of content we love to see from you Alex. Keep it up.
The black trims and light color on the house looks amazing. Not sure how i feel about the painted stones though.
You 100% know how you feel about it. It looks baaaad
I don’t always leave a comment, but I always watch the videos. I really enjoyed this one just a bit more. Great job!
"I'm not painting this, you're painting this", then proceeds to paint. Just like every husband! lol
You notice how she was in the house the whole time, in the A/C, probably watching one of those “Real wives of (fill in the blank)” Then she just sachets out and proclaims “Na- don’t like it - try again!”
That’s the power of pussy right there!
That intro was the most genuine husband and wife interaction given this situation. Great video :)
LMAO..when she said “truth or lie”…”iii don’t hate it”… your face was classic! You should have seen that coming. I like it! Came out nice!
Black and brown look good together. I painted for decades. Painting a 60-70's brick house transforms it. I never painted stone.
Just my two cents but I actually like how the black kind of accents the lines in the stones now after painting over it with the white. Looks amazing man!
Love the way you enjoyed the work, chuckles in between. And love the way you pissed off but you guys are lovely couple , can see the strong love , happy family. Stay blessed. 🎉
Good on you and your family for putting together this content, it truly shows that anyone can get good results if they care enough to get them.
The best thing I would say I get from your videos is, motivation, and understanding that it's okay to fail and make mistakes, because that's how we learn and become better.
If everyone could just think back about the time when they didn't know what they knew now, how would you want someone to respond and give advice to you.
Great job, and keep it up :)
Great job on painting. I did our house a few years ago and man, it never seemed to end! With the stone- good job listening to your wife and then coming back together on that. Base coat of grey on the stone and pick out a few other neutral colors and some sponge painting maybe?
Also loved seeing how your family is growing and playing together!
looks so good, crazy how much paint can just change and refresh the way something looks
Way to go with your Control Pro 170 and FLEXiO 3500! You did a great job with your Wagner paint sprayers and glad the house came out looking great.
Have always been told not to pressure wash “upwards” into cladding as water can get forced up between. Also, good to use house wash with some antifungal stuff in it, breaks up the dirt prior to washing and stops anything growing on the house (especially in damper climates- it really shows on the white paint).
I actually love the stone color. Great choice! We actually used the same black for our trim and white for the house. We painted out door parakeet green from sherwin Williams. You both did amazing!
love how to call out the haters! and the humor is great. house looks great.
It looks fantastic. That scene with the stone plays out in every house in America lol..husband gets pissed, pounds his chest and minutes later is apologizing and doing what he said he wouldn’t do anyway. 🤣🤣 first time viewer, new subscriber.
Love the speed of the video. Keeps it fresh and not boring to watch. Really good tips and application. Well done you two!
the natural stone color would have helped balance the beige windows I think. Great Job!! John Malecki will be proud!
I hate John Malecki
@@MrBuildit 😂😂😂 will he ever not be a nemesis for you?
Looks amazing!! ....but definitely should have left the national stone would of looked even better lol
Really don't like the painted stone but it's not my house 😂 love your channel
Wow, great job! Love the white and black, and the door color! I' m female, painted our stucco house all by myself when I was about 60. I would not do that again at 71. We had excellent painters a few years ago and they did an outstanding job. As for repainting the stone, I would not have painted it, but that is just me. In looking at houses in Montreal the style on house fronts is often 3 (count 'em, three!) surface treatments on the same house front -- paneling (wood/vinyl), fake stone, and brick. Holy heck! All these houses look horrible and extremely dated with that. So if it were me I would paint all those surfaces ONE color, use colorful shutters and front door to update the house. this would make all those surfaces blend into one large shape punctuated by pops of color on the shutters and front door.
I like the kept natural stone color that you see in the b roll for the backyard. You were right once again!
Definitely agree with non painted brick. Love the color scheme and all the work put in. The look of the natural brick though. Great work brother.
16:34 AWWWWWW My husband linked me this part of your video bc this is exactly how we are LOL EXCEPT I would have gotten a sample LMAO
You did the best job in my opinion and I love what you did around the the windows!!!!
I agree the beige windows make a huge difference and detract from the black trim. I also agree that the stone needed to be left as it was.
17:51 Peak needs just a little touchup. Everything else is gorgeous guys! Awesome Work!
You and your wife did a great job. Looks great! 👍
Awwwww “I love you too much!” MY HEART!!!!
beautiful. good husband and nice family. I liked the grey stone.
looks nice. I like the contrast of the windows with the black trim
I think the black stone looked better, but either way, it looks awesome. Great work as always!
because they did. its a fact
Excellent video m’man. Black on white is on point, white stone was definitely the move, and the green is just the right amount of color “pop”. I also love the very HGTV reveal and outro vibes 👌🏾💯
Repainting the stone white was a good call and it turned out looking very nice!
Good video. Was surprised when you took off the siding- you had no barrier between siding and OSB.
You shouldn't have a barrier there, other than an air gap so it can dry out. A barrier would trap moisture and cause rot. Good observation though
@@n3rdcoast162 in our area most of the homes have a house wrap or they use the zip system. The only time they have a gap is when it’s a shingle or specific type of siding. Not the type shown in video. But maybe Idaho is different due to the weather.
When I start cocking the inner trim , it’s good to have a rag and a one gallon bucket of water to clean up your fingers after. Just a good tip
It looks modern and refreshed. Your wife is very lucky indeed.
Wow! No one can ever say you don’t work hard - a huge job!
I love it! And I love the stone painted. Perfect.
White washing the stone was the right way to go in my opinion. Love the door color.
Beautiful job, the white looks good too
I think it looks amazing and if you hadn't painted the rock with the black it wouldn't have the darkness between the rocks. It would have been to much white or had the tannish hint to it. Thank you for sharing I'm so glad that "mistakes" happened, I really love how it turned out. Great Job!!!!
‘Can I finish my blackberries’ LOL that made my day 🤣🤣
Great job!! I can't believe that's the baby. Wow she is growing fast.
AS A PROFESSIONAL PAINTER, I WOULD LIKE TO HONOR YOU WITH A 8.8 RATING ON YOUR PAINTING SKILLS.GREAT JOB MAN.hard work is why we charge $$$ .with the windows you can leave beige or paint white or tricorn
Loved the stone trim in the charcoal/black or the natural color
I don't know if you're trying a new editing style, but i really liked how this video came together.
Also, i won't comment on the natural stone debate, but the white stone definitely looks better than the black stone at least.
Wow looks great, glad you did the white on the tones. It looks really nice.
It turned out great! Not gonna lie, even with the black stones this would look great.
The brick or stone turned out perfect ! Looks planned with black grout! Lovely a happy error!
I just finished painting my house and used the sherwin-williams duration and it works great. I have pressure washed my house (about 30 days after painting) and it held up beautifully. Also if you would have gotten a pro account the paint would have been little cheaper. At least it was for me in the houston texas area.
Love the white on the brick. Makes the house look bigger, rather than breaking it up. Can’t wait for the window conversion video. That’s on my honey do.
Your paint job looks great to me! Honestly I would have been upset if my spouse had changed their mind as well, but glad to see you apologize to her! About 18 years ago my mother and I painted her house after my father had died, with two 1 1/2" brushes! No lie honest to gosh! Two coats of Kilz and two coats of paint, all by hand! I even took my daughters swing set and made it into scaffolding to paint from! It was brutal and took 3 months, every single day! Fast forward and it is time to paint it again only Mom has passed away and everyone in the family is busy and unable to help, they all however have an opinion on the color, which I am the one buying!!!! So, at least be comforted in the fact that you only have your wife to deal with and you own 2 sprayers!!
Please pray for me, I am going to need it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The end result turned out fantastic
Looks Great! I like that you painted the Stones Black 1st and then White. Great decision it gives it more Design. The Natural stone would have Stood out over the New Paint job!! Everything looks uniformed with the new color scheme. Natural Stone looked good with the Neutral Colors you had Before..This is Awesome
It's beautiful. Good call on the white paint on the bricks.
Awww the black was perfect!
That was the best unintentional impression of a short person! I do the same thing when I don’t want to get a ladder!😂
Love the door colour ❤️😉🇨🇦👍🏼 I personally liked the old colour but you did a awesome job👍🏼❤️🇨🇦😉
Spot on - love how big the houses in the states are
Love the siding colour and the windows but I prefer the stone in its natural state.
Looks good! I like the painted stone! Has a very modern feel. 👏👏👏
As a painter myself your prep work was A1
The house looks great. Thanks for sharing.
Love the door color too.
Love the end result your wife needs to teach us how she styles things inside i just recently bought a house and i have no idea what to do
Super nice. Great job as always.
leave the top of the stone, the straight piece that is right below the siding black and do the rest of the stone in a light grey, similar to the shade of your shingles so you have a small amount of black to match the trim and then a contrasting colour that's also on the top of the house against the white siding without having too much black around the bottom.
The black stone looked amazing
it looks so good what a life dude, god bless
I love it! I so want to paint my house white with black trim so I was excited about that choice.
II like the white glad you changed it looks great!
One of the best episodes yet! So, frik'n funny!
Great video great woodworking great show
"It's cause we tried Jerry." lmao I snorted and scared my poor dog when he said that X'D
We had our house painted within the last couple of weeks and was only mildly concerned painting the trim white as we also have tan window frames. It was too noticeable after the fact and that really bothered me, so I am painting the frames to match the trim which improves the look overall by a wide margin.
Definitely NATURAL Stone colors with the new house paint & new trim
#3) pros also use multiple tips with different fan widths, orfice, as well as controlling flow specific to material and those tips. Thanks for sharing video. I'll put my vote in for natural stone. It's not garbage mid century bland or weird stone. That stone was nice, so worthy to keep it that way. All other cases paint the stone sure.
Preferred the natural stone as well but the contrast it has now still looks great, nice work.
