MAKING PORCH TOPS GREAT AGAIN............LOV FROM SOUTH ALABAMA........KEEP THE FAITH KIDS.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

😁😁😁😊

[@garynagle3093]

Glad you had some cooler weather even though it delays the shop project. The porch looks great with the boards.

[@bay9876]

Love the look of the trim. it make the area look spacious. Nice work and when you have that handy dandy lift tool handy you get you moneys worth out of it and keep your backs. This is an enjoyable project with you smiling all the way.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Thank you very much!

[@jimdelong949]

Glad you went with the wood trim. It really sets the ceiling off and adding character to the space. A nice hanging chandelier matching the coach lights would look nice. Glad to see all three of you doing okay and that Ladly is still in control of scheduling 😊 As always wishing you the best of success and good health

[@thomasfruge]

Happy Cooler Days Cajun Family!! Was a little nippie this morning at temperature of 56 and now temps at 74 , definitely a change from Monday. Lydia I'm betting your be feeling like back home temps of summer. Liking the stripes on ceiling, kinda like cabiny look, instead of walls be on the ceiling. 😀 I think I said that right 😃. Great to seeing y'all again on KZbin!! Kinda getting to miss seeing y'all on the two day events. Well youngs until next time Cajun Country Family 👨‍👨‍👦🤴👸🌟💖💙💛💖

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Hey there Thomas!! Yes sir! These cooler temp has got us feeling spunky for sure! Thank you, we hope that you have a great week and we will see you soon!!😁

[@thomasfruge]

The porch looks great and welcoming 🎉

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Thank you!

[@jillcarney4123]

The porch is looking good. I am sure you are ready to get the painting completed. Enjoy the cooler temps.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Thank you Jill! Absolutely!

[@charleshutchings9355]

Thank y'all for getting that job done. I was about to come down there and do it. Then I remembered you said something about chores a while back. That scared me out of it. It's looking great. I love Ladly's Jeep. It looks like she does too. Be well!

[@CajunCountryLivin]

We could’ve surely used your help Charles!

[@robertevans6481]

Jim i have that same hootis...lol....Yes the other day was nice light winds no clouds and lots of sunshine. Have a great week,see you next video..

[@raybo34]

Looking good y'all. I agree, it will look nice when y'all paint it. Hope y'all are having a wonderful weekend.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Thank you Ray! We hope that you are having a great weekend too!

Yes! Thank you Jaime!

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Thank you Mr. Timothy! We hope that you have a great week too!

[@dcris4483]

We did it! A 2x4 dry pour. All because of you! We started small to see if we had what it takes to complete. 😊

[@CajunCountryLivin]

That is awesome! You’ve definitely got this!

[@jerishead630]

It all looks good 👍

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Thank you!

[@skixd88]

Yeah agreed on using the lift to get that up and in place. If you don’t have a lift you can use a dead leg which is a 2x4 with a T at the top which is cut to ceiling length. Really helps when shorthanded. Great video guys 👌

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Yes! That lift is a life saver for sure! Thank you!😊

[@laruedouglas7972]

The one liners from Jim were on point in this episode! 😂 had us laughing through the whole thing. So glad you guys had some cooler weather to be working outside in! That caulk job! Your poor fingers! Getting so close and we can’t wait to see it all painted!

[@alvincoston2051]

Hey Y’all! Glad to see ya!! 💙❤️❤️

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Hi!!😄😃

[@HaroldReece]

Greetings from Colorado, where we got to enjoy watching the solar eclipse yesterday. This morning I get to watch two of my favorite KZbin channels who are both building similar projects. You guys and "Ambition Strikes" are both building a shipping container barn/shed project. So we will get to see both the Louisiana and the Idaho versions. Great! Thanks for sharing with us.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

The solar eclipse was really cool! The sunlight looked golden here. Thank you for watching!

[@warbird099]

Hey Guys! Another great video! I love the fact that you all show everything...even the parts that don't go as planned. I really like the way that your ceiling is looking! It is going to look fantastic once you get it painted! Keep it going! I look forward to all of your videos every week!

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Thanks so much! We appreciate the thoughtful comment very much!

[@sandygraetz5166]

As a born and breed southeast Texas girl who knows about the weather you guys are enduring come to Northwest Coast,Tasmania, Australia…. It is always a fairly even climate we are in spring and still having some cool days! It’s noon here and 14° C ( to get in the ball park without too much math…. Double temp 14 and add 30 for F and you are about 60°F) and sun shining beautifully. Lovely beaches and beautiful walking 🚶‍♀️ / Cycling 🚴 footpaths along the states coast.😊❤ by the way my mom was a Louisana girl and 3 Aunties and 1 uncle stayed in Louisana and one has gone back to Louisana and one auntie in Texas. 😊❤

[@tracylamb903]

I agree. I like the thicker boards on the ceiling. Looking good.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Thank you Tracy!

[@timothystutzman]

I like the thicker trim boards allot. That looks way better than if you used thinner trim that blended more with the other boards. Gives it dimension and will look even cooler painted. Heck you could paint the boards a different color. A little more work though. That's kind of common in this area (especially the older homes) and I've seen some folks run boards in between each of those trim boards to make it look like squares (if that makes sense). Seeing Jim use the Dremel reminded me that I have one and I need to use it more. 🙂 Sometimes I forget what tools I have.

[@cedricbroussard8738]

If I had lived closer, I could have helped yall!! I do agree. I love the wider boards. I put wider boards inside my house for the trimming!! But as always, keep up the hard work 💪it's coming together beautifully 😍!! See you all next time, friends ❤

[@CajunCountryLivin]

We could’ve definitely used some help friend! Thank you Cedric!

[@cedricbroussard8738]

@CajunCountryLivin you are very welcome 🙏🏻 I would have definitely gone to give a hand!! Be safe and have a blessed week 🙏🏻

[@CajunCountryLivin]

It sure is!! Great “hootis” tool for sure!

[@ld5714]

Good choice on using the 3/4" material for battens and trim pieces. I agree with Jim that it added the dimentional look he was after. Your work on the porch is turning out very nicely. Lydia, your comment about the work comment being dictated by a toddler is so true. She is so darned cute and looking more like you every time I see her. I imagine she had a good time at Home Depot with all the Halloween stuff out on display 😉 You two work so very well together get things done. I thoroughly enjoy watching your content and like your family very much. I'm glad the weaterh has finally cooled down for you. Have a productive week and be safe. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Thank you very much Larry and we hope that you have a fantastic week!

[@deborahschoenherr9873]

Really nice guys.

[@noelgreen9381]

The starlings will be back next spring and will try and tear apart your ceiling trying to get to that nesting spot. Hope the cement board is enough. I have had to use tightly wound chicken wire in the past!

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Oh wow! Hopefully they won’t cause any problems 😳

[@063317Art]

I don not think you had starlings. Those birds look like barn swallows also barn swallows use mud to build on the side of structures where starling will build on top or inside of a cavity❤😊

[@CajunCountryLivin]

I think you are right!

[@joenewman6494]

Wow the little one is growing like a weed but yea love the wide boards another fine job y’all did later good people.❤️😎🇺🇸

looking good but, you didn't put any sort of little panel of steel with holes in it , for the air to flow ??

Dremel is an awesome tool. Just don't let the nail fall on your arm after you trim it off. It's super hot - don't ask me how I know that.

I have been wondering whatever happened to those open ends. I thought I might have missed an episode. It was another case of a project delayed by prolific birds!

[@CajunCountryLivin]

Finally got it done Delbert! Yes they have been sort of a pain lol

[@victoriaahlbrecht9715]

You want to cover everything on that porch so you do not get Sterling bach they carry a lot of disease. You want to discourage them from making nest on your porch

[@marysenatore8856]

Smooth as sandpaper underwear 😂😂😂😂

Folks I need to tell you in my home country of Scotland people are thinking they will die in 50 deg heat because we are so used to rain and cold temps.. and y'all think its cool 😂😂😂 That being said, one of the things I do love and deeply respect about you both is that you're not afraid of holding your hands up and saying that was a silly mistake we made. Keep staying real folks and stay safe till we see you next week (And yes Scottish people do look like the ice walkers from Game of Thrones 😂😂😂😂)
