This is what the house looked like when my wife left for work today.


This is what it looks like tonight when she gets home.



Hope she likes it. :icon_surprised:

Wow, that's a beautiful job! And done so quickly. Did you need cables to hold up its roof, or is it wholly supported by the 2x4 framing? Very nice!

What an improvement! That heavy white trimwork looks great on the older houses.

Thanks. Yes, she had it picked out for a while now.

Looks beautiful. It would look amazing if you painted the cinder blocks a dark brown or brownish grey as well.

If i remember right we did the whole house for 200. It's been 5-6yrs since i did it.

Edit: right now it is 151.00 for a 9x150ft. roll. I believe i bought 3 rolls and returned one.
