I would consider painting the shutters the same color as your front door to maximize the "minimalist" look. It'll add warmth while still blending with the new paint job.

We didn’t end up using it. I think we thought it was only for the lime wash products, but that isn’t the case. It is also recommended for the masonry flat product.

The newspaper may have come from work on the wall above to block air infitration. Why did you go with sliders? The hoppers open all the way to horizontal for 100% open.
@chris_laura 3 ай бұрын
Honestly, at the time, lack planning and local availability. We are still happy with the windows. The sliders come out giving us the access we need. Hoppers would possibly provide better ease access.

because you were using fencing cedar, that stuff shrinks even when very tightly packed side by side. when used as fencing, so you probably woundn't need those spacers , They look great and are hugely economical! Nice job! I'm on Team Shutters. Cant find fault with architectural design

Putting drylok, or any waterproofing on the inside of a block wall, will lead the disintegration of your block wall. Wall. The wall will still have water in it, and you're keeping the water in the block. You need a waterproof from the outside.

Great video! What is the best distance between thujas and other trees? I made a mistake of planting saskatoon trees along the fence first just to realize they will not be a good privacy fence. Im thinking of planting thujas (brandon cedars) 2 feet away from the fence. But it will make it very tight to the saskatoons. What to do? Pls help

First off great job. and Chris you're a lucky guy to have a woman want to tackle this project with you! you guys are great!. I'm about to do this same thing! I'm glad you had success with the Avanti painter. Is it still holding up? I'm on the fence on buying this one or the X7 which is a lot more at home depot because it's rebuildable. But on the house it looks great! I'm painting my house a similar color but doing all the trim and the gutters a dark grey to give it some contrast.
@chris_laura 6 ай бұрын
Thank you! So far the sprayer has held up. We used it for the entire exterior and interior of the house with no issues. We are about to use it again for painting a shed! Good luck!!

How are the trees making out now after a year? Did the nursery say it’s OK to bury with burlap? I have mine with burlap and not sure if landscaper knows what he’s doing or was just lazy, but he said It is biodegradable and the roots will be able to grow still. Have 17 of them so hopefully all is well 🙏🏻

They are doing great! Our nursery said we could leave it or cut it off. Main thing was just to cut the ropes so it doesn’t restrict growth. We haven’t had an issue with ours thankfully. Best of luck!
