Really nice job! You are correct in the hindsight of staining the wood first. Likewise painting the wrap and trim accents first (then touch up after install) makes life a bit easier.
I love the look of the cedar when it is newly installed. But doesn't it turn gray as it weather/ages? I realize the ceiling of the entry won't see direct sun or rain, but I did see you used it in other places where it would. Are you using a finish that prevents that?
Great job. One warning: I was helping a friend do some renovations, converting a 20' x 20' barn into a dog training studio. We originally installed similar lights. We put them in before the sheetrock was up, tested them and they worked. We disconnected the light part after testing. The electrical boxes were secured to the trusses. We started insulating the ceiling at the far end of the building. Power in the building was on so we could play the radio. Before we finished insulating the ceiling, one of the electrical boxes from those lights started smoking and sizzling. We opened the box and looked to see if we made a bad connection when wiring it. All connections looked good. We removed all the lights and bought metal ceiling boxes and conventional external mount light fixtures. In fairness, we were using 12/2 exterior grade wire, and those boxes that come with the lights are kind of small for wire of that heavy a gauge, but we didn't see any signs of bad connections on our part - we think the smoke came from the tiny transformer in the unit.
so short (width) towards the front on the slats. You'll say it didn't matter because you'll cover it up (of course) BUT . . . . . . Using molding where you don't have to, because your measurements are more precise . . . makes a cleaner look. No?
I was planning this for my front porch next summer. So nice to watch someone else do it first. Thanks for posting this!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks

What color stain did you use?
How much was the cladding? Where could I buy this? I’m in California
What did u apply on ceiling after instalation. Was it colour?
Benjamin moore Arbortcoat in natural
What lights did you use? Where from?
Wondering what type of wood your door may be - Mahogany? It almost matches the cedar for a great look overall. Great work!
Is that wood called clear cedar? Where did you source it from? Thanks!
It is, I got it from a local sawmill but most lumber suppliers should stock it
Perhaps provide a longer time for people to view the finished product. Other than that, thumbs up!

You realize you removed all that venting from your attic? Not good.
Lol my attic has plenty of ventilation but thanks for your concern
That’s the worst music. Turn it down!!!
