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!!😂😂👏🏻👏🏻

[@wardad5628]

Mistake, should have left the natural stone as it was. Would have looked great.

[@Someguy1357]

Especially when you consider the beige windows.

[@77Avadon77]

And if you want to change the color use a masonry acid stain. Painting on Natural Stone is retarded

[@77Avadon77]

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

[@codyr2318]

I dunno white rock growing on me. Beige windows less than ideal.

[@wizevadventures5282]

That is so ture

[@LC-yr8uv]

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.

[@Cherrycola14]

Yeah, I wouldn't buy a house with painted stone...

[@cmbiggo]

100% agreed. Natural dark gray stack stone would phenomenal with this.

[@pitech4446]

The original color looks better. They basically made a checker board house. White stones?? looks hella weird

[@DavidJohnColemanII]

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.

[@quitstalin]

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"

[@ThePhotoForce]

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!

[@NatalieStringfield]

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!

[@chief5981]

My house is cream vinyl and crappy red brick. It’s a horrible combination but I don’t want to paint the brick either

[@717dash_cam]

After it was painted, it was done.. A grey with brown or blue/green tones would have looked more natural on the stone texture.

[@francisandrearivera5963]

Def should’ve left the stone natural. Looks great. Love the door 🚪

[@sleepypotatoprincess]

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.

[@BelieverStarcraft]

Should have washed it and maybe polishe fit up

[@user-df6ez6jh2z]

Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos kzbin.infoUgkxTNB_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!

[@sendmedics]

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.

[@hxldzn3310]

Yeah I reckon should have painted the layer above the stone black then the rest not painted

[@parzival9494]

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!

[@katiestokes6972]

I actually like how the black shows through a little on the stone. Adds dimension. It looks great!

[@pbenga]

The black trims and light color on the house looks amazing. Not sure how i feel about the painted stones though.

[@mattyyoungcloudsart3008]

You 100% know how you feel about it. It looks baaaad

[@juicyj817]

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.

[@InternationalKarl]

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

[@alexedwards3984]

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 :)

[@NM-mh2if]

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!

[@apfel4U]

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

[@oscargenesin8152]

Alex, you killed it!!! Your workmanship is bar none. Congrats and enjoy all the looks from neighbors driving by.

[@raibrix]

looks so good, crazy how much paint can just change and refresh the way something looks

[@itsgabenog]

"I'm not painting this, you're painting this", then proceeds to paint. Just like every husband! lol

[@aeromedical6776]

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!

[@Atomicbarb]

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!

[@Wagner-Spraytech]

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.

[@davids6075]

Hey brother. I've been building houses and remodeling for 23 years. I run from painting. Your house looks great.

[@neelakantamy9266]

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. 🎉

[@skylershupe6226]

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.

[@codykerns9051]

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!

[@peevonb7070]

Love the speed of the video. Keeps it fresh and not boring to watch. Really good tips and application. Well done you two!

[@mcampbell66]

Good video. Was surprised when you took off the siding- you had no barrier between siding and OSB.

[@n3rdcoast162]

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

[@mcampbell66]

@@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.

[@donnygrahambuilds]

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 👌🏾💯

[@secretredfoxx1]

Beautiful job, the white looks good too

[@DudeSawdust]

I don’t always leave a comment, but I always watch the videos. I really enjoyed this one just a bit more. Great job!

[@smilejesuslovesyou8108]

It looks great! I can’t wait to do mine!!! The only thing I would have done differently is I would have painted the windows black as well other then that I love it!! We also have stone but I’m leaving ours natural lol just repainted our door a red color

[@MIResident]

I like the kept natural stone color that you see in the b roll for the backyard. You were right once again!

[@plasmac9]

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.

[@sharondumont9048]

Love the door colour ❤️😉🇨🇦👍🏼 I personally liked the old colour but you did a awesome job👍🏼❤️🇨🇦😉

[@Dayon09]

the natural stone color would have helped balance the beige windows I think. Great Job!! John Malecki will be proud!

[@MrBuildit]

I hate John Malecki

[@Dayon09]

@@MrBuildit 😂😂😂 will he ever not be a nemesis for you?

[@somarad]

I think the black stone looked better, but either way, it looks awesome. Great work as always!

[@BennieBarrePilatesStudio]

I love it! I so want to paint my house white with black trim so I was excited about that choice.

[@jerryhinds6009]

You and your wife did a great job. Looks great! 👍

[@rogerleclerc731]

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.

[@davidshaw2846]

Repainting the stone white was a good call and it turned out looking very nice!

[@Alleycat022]

Really don't like the painted stone but it's not my house 😂 love your channel

[@adavidov]

Maybe there is a way to sandblast the white/black paint from the stones to return them to their original?

[@callanmurphy9807]

There is but it's a big prep and clean up job lol especially around windows etc

[@dominiqueburns9918]

Looks good! I like the painted stone! Has a very modern feel. 👏👏👏

[@ramirolopez2605]

Amazing, thank you for all the tips!

[@danwalker3533]

Looks amazing!! ....but definitely should have left the national stone would of looked even better lol

[@alexandervoake745]

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).

[@shanaproctor100]

It's beautiful. Good call on the white paint on the bricks.

[@jeffoneil3604]

love how to call out the haters! and the humor is great. house looks great.

[@costas92]

Preferred the natural stone as well but the contrast it has now still looks great, nice work.

[@indycats1]

Wow looks great, glad you did the white on the tones. It looks really nice.

[@Redd513]

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.

[@latchkeylathers]

I love it! And I love the stone painted. Perfect.

[@kentoakley9409]

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.

[@anthonysouza5824]

That intro was the most genuine husband and wife interaction given this situation. Great video :)

[@lamborghiniman02]

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.

[@benjaminwells3233]

Any concern there wasn't a house wrap or vapor barrier behind the siding you removed and replaced?

[@workinprogress5936]

Exactly what I was going to say. I'm more concerned about that then the siding itself. I would absolutely halt all painting and make sure it was wrapped correctly.

[@TomCGhost]

Refer to the IECC climate zone map to determine energy conservation code. Depending on what zone you live in will determine the amount of insulation, or R-value, you need on the side of a house. Also, depending on what system the engineer approves for the builder to use will determine if a vapor barrier is needed. Usually WRB and air barrier is one unit and easy to install. Look up Zip System Sheathing.

[@workinprogress5936]

@@TomCGhost Zip System is an amazing product. I have learned a lot from Matt Risinger regarding this.

[@markgross3256]

Hahahaha I was going to say the same.

[@Noone-zi9fk]

You did the best job in my opinion and I love what you did around the the windows!!!!

[@Rippers-TV]

Back yard looks especially good!

[@hkofler07]

Looks great Alex! At the end of the day who cares what other people think. If you and your wife like it that's all that matters. I do have to say I'm looking forward to your next video of turning the windows black lol. Happy wife is a happy life😉

[@Nneoh1]

Work paid off, looks absolutely amazing

[@MrBuildit]

Thank you

[@shahboy68]

looks nice. I like the contrast of the windows with the black trim

[@jasonwilson7998]

One of the best episodes yet! So, frik'n funny!

[@Fatima-sm7hw]

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

[@DustinTownsend]

I did my house in Shoji White as well but I did the trim in Gauntlet Grey and window sashes/grills/shutters in Black Fox and it turned out really nice. I did the Iron Ore on the interior window sashes and grills. I think it turned out really nice.

[@lagarde2011]

I prefer the Iron Ore or Black Fox for the windows because Tricorn Black tends to have too much of a contrast with the white brick and risks to look a bit cheesy.

[@amysharp4679]

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!

[@NotHereForClicks]

Wow! No one can ever say you don’t work hard - a huge job!

[@demarparson1107]

Loved the stone trim in the charcoal/black or the natural color

[@jwhite1089]

Nice combo, we just used SW Ultra White and Tricorn Black on our new build. I definitely would have painted the stone, but I'm not sure what color.... The black looked good but it did look like charcoal. Maybe a dark grey would look nice?

[@Itsmecoolgurl]

Awww the black was perfect!

[@dillinheater]

I hope you see this, I like in a lot of your videos you do a cost breakdown of the whole job! I would love to know how much painting your house was DIY vs a cost estimate from a professional company. Thanks! Also it looks great I think white stone came out good or natural😅 either way your definitely an inspiration to all us DIYers out there

[@TheDrewfallin]

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.

Love the house one piece of advise you could use a softer warmer black like iron ore Sherwin Williams on the trim and it might help the windows.

[@anthonykrepps1624]

Looks great man!

[@dwagnerful]

I would have left natural stone, also. You did an outstanding job painting the house, but your wife picked the wrong trim color since you have insert panels inside the windows. It would have blended better to do trim in dark toupe grey and house in a warmer white. You'd have achieved the modern look she was after and windows would have matched better. Just a 🤔....

[@betsie696]

I think the black with the beige windows is a nice pretty contrast. Also love the natural stone BUT the white looks way better than the black.
