You can tell that Freddie is a true caregiver, I hope Rodrigo realizes what a peach he's got! And I love how she throws herself into absolutely everything she does.
I think a medium shade of gray would work with the trim and roof colour. Don’t paint the roof black, it will attract the heat and your house will be hot and also the sun will peel the paint eventually, causing more maintenance for you to look good. Green is a hard colour to look good with your roof, so stick to white or a shade of grey. ( Beige would work too). You guys are doing a great job!👍
Agreed absolutly! You shouldn't paint the roof black. That could easly raice the temperature at least 5 degrees celcius more. It would be an oven on sunny days.
I vote for a white body on the house. Black/white/turquoise/stained wood - beautiful!!! Black trim around doors and windows - very sharp. And of course decks front and back of the a frame. You could even build a workshop below the back deck and gradually build it out! Just a thought as you already use it for storage and should plan stacking/organizing solutions Looking so nice, great to see some RnR in Costa Rica!
Your next project should be… Digging out a foot and a half underneath your house, and pouring a concrete slab. This way you can have a great place for you to do your construction work, and she can have an art studio.
The dogs literally smile when they get love from Freddie ❤ I would cry too, if I saw monkeys happily free and wild in my yard, that’s super cool Freddie. People who can truly appreciate animals, the way that you do, are good people…you’re good people Freddie 🤗 You’re my kind of people!
I agree with Freddie black roof is a bad idea. Better to paint it white to reflect the sun and keep the inside cool. Black will make it hot inside. I like the light grey too. Great job house is looking really good!
Love the wood trim... It adds charm to the outside of the home greatly. When I googled colors that match it said Blues, Grey's, Tan, all will match your current colors of green, grey and wood. Please do not change the color of the roof. Any paint in it will require quite a lot of maintenance as the weather chips it.
@DalecRussell Why would she get mad? That was a beautiful compliment❤❤❤ and doesn't the Aframe look pretty? That tongue & groove makes it look finished!!!! Love it🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
Rodrigo, Freddie, I love your videos and have been a subscriber from the start of this channel. I have a suggestion for you. Dig out the underside of the house and create a DRY working area for the rainy days. Dig it deep enough that Freddie doesn't bump her head and can stand up completely. In other words, dig a basement. ❤ Love you guys ❤️
With the rainy season in Panamá, digging the area bellow the house might turn that underside into a pool unfortunately. The water might seep from the adjacent soil surrounding the house and create a pool/pond below their home unless they build a retaining wall with weeping holes it may not be such a good idea. I’m thinking that if they bought a clear roof for their gazebo and put maybe a foot and a half retaining walls around it might work and they might have enough coverage for when it rains.
Funny, I was thinking the same thing but also wondering about the rain. I’m wonder if they could figure out a way to dig it out without compromising the foundation holding up the house and divert the water away from it with maybe some underground French drain where it can divert away from the house. I’m thinking maybe build up some sort of block system underneath the house to make a dry room without compromising the current foundation and diverting it away from the house. I am no expert, I would definitely need someone who knows if this would work or not, but I think digging out the under side of the house at least slightly so you have enough headroom to stand in there and use as a workable workspace would be great
Rodrigo and Freddie. We really enjoy the show since Freddie arrived. She's added so much life to the show and has great design and style. You're discussing painting the house. Listen up. LEAVE THE ROOF ALONE. THE COLOR IS PERFECT FOR THE TROPICAL AREA! RODRIGO, BLACK IS A TERRIBLE IDEA! THE PERFECT COLOR FOR YOUR HOME IS YELLOW. IT GOES PERFECT WITH THE TEAL COLOR ON THE ROOF AND THE NATUAL WOOD TRIM AND BLACK METAL TRIM. IT WILL BE BRIGHT AND LIVELY. THEN, ADD PLANTS TO THE BALCONY AND AROUND THE HOUSE. You should also consider taking the corner of the house with the highest elevation UNDER THE HOUSE. Clean it all out, build a room and store all your lumber and supplies out of the rain. it looks big enough to have a work shop OUT OF THE RAIN. When everything else is done, please clean out UNDER THE HOUSE. Thanks to Freddie, it looks like Rodrigo is completing some projects! Finish projects and then move on. Keep up the good work guys. We pray for you and wish you much success. Judy &Jerry
No black roof. You don't need the added heat. White or gray would look fantastic on your siding. I love how well you guys work together. Shows how compatible you two really are.
Black absorbs heat, white reflects. I love your green roof! Light greys, with accents of black and wood are very fetching! Pale peach, or yellow would work. Dark blue, or darker green, or black on the walls would be interesting as well!
Dark colors absorb heat (also attracts mosquitoes). You do not want a black roof in that climate. Just my 2 cents lol. Take a sample or pic of each color (roof and wood) take to paint store to match a great color. Keep up the great job…Much love guys.
The expression in the USA for good to live in would be “homey” meaning it feels like home and it feels very friendly and inviting to be there. Cozy is another choice, like being sheltered inside your home on a wet rainy day. Cozy means it feels wrapped around you in protection, comfortable, safe and welcoming and it is exactly the right place to be in a storm!
Liveable is a good word for what you're trying to say. Liveable means more appealing, comfortable, enjoyable to live in or with. The trim creates a more Liveable appearance or feel to the home.
Making good progress, even in the rain! Roger full of beans and the dog snoring is hysterical. You both are working so hard and love following your progress and your little homestead is a gem!🌻
color for the roof: black absorbs the heat from the sun while lighter colors (white) reflect it back toward Jordan's house. better yet, just cover the entire roof with solar panels and never worry about electricity again
The turquoise roof is gorgeous! A black roof will attract and keep the heat. The grey works on the colour palette with turquoise, brown and black. Perhaps just a touch deeper grey would work. It keeps the facade light and airy, which works in the tropical clime...both to reflect heat, and to look fresh. Love all of the progress guys! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
IMPORTANT!!!! Hey guys can you please weld crossbeams under the house |x|x| because it is really in danger to fall down. The poles are oke but thin for the windcatch off the a frame. When you have crossbeams that risk is gone. Please guys i care. Greetings from the netherlands
Rod, could you add clear roof panels to the outside seating area so you get the light and feel of an open space, but keep it a dry space to help battle the rain and keep progress going? Also extending the rear porch would give you an amazing place to sit and a dry area underneath? Keep up the great work!!

Nice work, you guys! You definitely need a space for Freddie to do the wood prep, maybe tie down the tarp so that the rain won't make it collapse. I love how Freddie appreciates all of the wildlife that she sees! Please, don't paint the roof black, that color attracts the sun and your house will become an oven when the sun is shining. For house colors, white, or medium gray, or light mushroom would be nice.
The regular rain is so frustrating. A solution would be to build a deck out the back, making the most of the view. Then put some roofing material directly under the deck with a slight slope towards the outside edge. Level the ground and you have an undercover work area plus a beautiful viewing deck.
Coffee is fun and chemically stimulating but the stress vitamins, the B vitamins are in beans, meat, healthy carbs like potatoes and oatmeal. Exhaustion, depression is from low B vitamins. B 100s can be taken. You guys are working so hard, don't wear out depending on Coffee 😘😘😘😘 PS Freddy I'm vegan...mostly!
I learned a lesson from my parents. Always make the outside of your house maintenance free. If you paint the roof, then you will need to repaint it every so often. What a pain! Using wood on the sofits is another maintenance issue. In North America, we use mostly maintenance free vinyl or aluminum siding, which is vented to allow circulation throughout the eves. The wood you used is nice but will require maintenance. With the amount of rain and moisture in your jungle, you might have a full-time job maintaining it.
no black roof!! it's a gorgeous blue. yes, a gentle slate grey that has some blue in it would match perfectly,. you are both adorable and the house is coming along beautifully ,bless.xx
Here are a couple of Options: 1) You should extend your back deck 3 or more meters. that way you can work on projects when it rains. Of course, make it so you will not get wet and you can stand. 2) set up your gazebo to work with the tarp, where the water will not pool or use a waterproof tarp/covering. 3) Make another gazebo by the water tank to work under with a covering. As well, make a couple of extra saw-horses
I love the roof color!! Paint your house a white, or a grey! It will blend in with the beautiful wood tongue and grove, and still make the roof pop❤ You two did a ton of work this episode! Crazy to see Rodger climb a ladder, don't think I've seen a cat do that! How exciting to see monkeys❤!!!! What a blessed location to live! Keep dry you both! Have a blessed week!
You two are getting better and better and better at producing EXCELELLENT, multi-dimensional content-- on so many levels. When you involve us in your creative and problem-solving processes, simultaneously it is educational, inspiring, entertaining, and intermittent precious doses of humor make me smile and laugh. I wouldn't worry about how long this takes. This is what you have chosen as a profession -- the longer it takes, the more adept and creative you become. The longer it takes, the more content you will produce. As to color of siding, it's not about "matchiing," it's about complementing -- and I agree with Freddie - a lovely gray will complement all that you have going. Sigue adelante!!! A+++++ 👋👋👋👋👋❤❤❤💚💜
A Dark Blue Teal (color code 6371) would look so nice. Check it out beside the rest of the materials, including the wood and the roof color. Great job guys, it's looking so good. What a difference it makes. Keep it up. Love and be safe!😘🤗🌼ve
The black roof I feel will be bad ideal because it will draw the heat from the sun. Will make your home so hot inside 🥵 the blue roof is so nice and the gray out side home will look good with black frame on the windows and trim to match your rails. An industrial modern look is suitable for your home ❤️❤️ but that just my opinion 😊☕️🙏🏽
A black roof will absorb the heat and be miserable in the summer…grey would look nice for the house but you need to keep the roof turquoise! It is perfect!
I wouldn’t advise painting the roof anytime because if and when it starts to peel off it will be a lot to maintain. You should paint the house before putting all the wood trim on as now you have to be careful so you don’t get paint on the wood Your both doing an amazing job love watching your progress and happiness
Agree with some others. Medium grey for the roof and light grey for the rest of the house with the wood trim would look BEAUTIFUL. Maybe dark grey for windows trim or the same stain wood that matches what you are currently doing.🥰❤️
Black absorbs and holds heat. White reflects heat. Keep that in mind when choosing the colors of your home. I think you should keep the roof the beautiful color it is, teal. The wood soffitt trim is beautiful. Maybe a black or white for the house color? I don't know, but, whatever you choose, I am sure it will be beautiful as well. Much love from Florida.
So happy you're giving the front of the house some love, it looks great. I can't help to wonder how things will look in a couple years. You're really turning your dream into a reality, and now that you have someone to share it with , it's just even better. Be careful up high, it makes me nervous watching you, think about getting a harness, so if you fall, it hurts but you don't die ! It's worth the investment I think, good luck to you both.
Welcome back from your travels. The doggie massage therapy was so funny. Very clever solution for the framing. I hope sealing the wood keeps it from needing to be replaced in couple of years. That's a LOT of rain. More than we had to deal with in Florida and I thought that was soggy. Keep after it.
A charcoal grey on the exterior of the house would be lovely and black on the roof would attract too much heat during the summertime, bad idea. You guys are a lovely couple. Stay authentic.
Liveable is an English word Freddie you were correct in your usage of that term. I must admit I like the thought of a black roof, but leaving it green is ok too. As for your house colour, I think either white or grey, it will blend well with your wood trim and roof colour, even if it’s black or green. It’s lovely seeing you progress on the finishing touches.
Rodrigo, green blue is called Aqua and it goes wonderfully with wood color. Omg, don’t color the roof black, you will suffer the heat! Be careful working on the long latter upstairs, especially when it rains, for fear of slipping and falling. Use a safety rope tied around you! I’m not your moma, but like a good older brother advice. Don’t be stubborn, do it in a dry day. It better to be safe then sorry.
I rather like the light grey. Don't forget a black roof will store and amplify the heat during the day making it hotter inside regardless of the insulation.
Oh no!!! A black roof will draw in so much more solar heat to the house... making it hot inside. The turquoise is pretty... perhaps just white on the walls... white is a cooling color and goes great with the other colors of the house.
The existing roof color is gorgeous..the grey is really attractive maybe a little darker? And I agree.. please don't paint the roof black it will make it super hot and you'll have to maintain it more!!
The color of your roof is nice and characteristic.. I wouldn't change it! Plus it may be a bad idea to paint it with the weather you have on the farm! And I think it goes well with the colors you have already on the house exterior. White or light gray are my favourites for the walls but the most important thing is that you do what you like most! It's your house!❤
I love the way Roger just climbs up the ladder 🪜😄 You place is coming together perfectly ❤️ You're very talented my brother 😍 and your other half has brought you so much joy and comfort, I can see that you really love each other 💕 Love you all 😊
I like the grey you have now but it could go a little darker and still match everything. I also think it’s a bad idea to paint the roof black. Black will absorb the heat and your house will be constantly hot. Getting to tongue and groove in has really changed the look of the house. Great job guys!
I would go with a charcoal Grey on the walls. Match the window trim to your other wood accents and leave the roof alone. Let the roof be your splash of color.
My vote is keep the blue green signature color on the roof. You can use a warm white on the house, like Benjamin Moore's Simply White. It has a nice glow. Or use a cream color or light beige on the house if you want more color to it. All these colors go nicely w the green roof and natural wood. Well done. I look forward to each new video you make.
I like. I Like the work bench. With all the timber and offcuts. You could of build a state of the art work bench. "Your good out trolley ". Thanks for another amazing video. Regards from South Africa 🇿🇦.
Good job, you 2 special people & fur babies!! The rain somewhat slowed you down, but despite that, you pressed on & accomplished so much, Rodrigo & Freddie!! Blessings!! 🇺🇸
Rodrigo and Freddie, I think you should paint the A FRAME A SLATE COLOR.. DARK GRAY... I THINK IT WOULD MAKE THE WOOD COLOR POP AND WOULD LOOK SO GOOD WITH THE ROOF❤ 💯💯💯💯 IF YOU PAINT IT GREEN IT WILL NOT MATCH WITH THE COLOR OF ROOF THAT YOU HAVE BECAUSE IT IS A VERY UNIQUE COLOR... I THINK THE SLATE WOULD BE SUCH AN AMAZING CONTRAST WITH THE COLOR OF THE WOOD AND THE COLOR OF THE ROOF✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼💯💯💯 MAKE A BOARD WITH DIFFERENT COLORS THAT YOU LIKE AND HOLD THEM AGAINST THE WOOD AND THE COLOR OF THE ROOF. THIS IS WHAT I DID TO MY HOME WHEN I WAS CHOOSING COLORS... IM SURE YOU TWO WILL PICK THE MOST AMAZING COLOR FOR YOUR HOME BUT PLEASE CONSIDER THE SLATE/ DARK GRAY COLOR ❤ LOVE AND SO MANY BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL ❤️🙏❤️
I LOVE the finishing touch on the inside of the roof!!! So nice!! I think the same shade of grey you painted the tarp room bench seats would be PERFECT for the house and it would match the tarp room when it's in it's normal state as a seating area!!! It's looking sooo good!!!
Rod, Freddie.You both kick Butt great Job both of you.Can't wait to see the finish Job.❤Nana Raquel.And welcome back from your Trip happy you had a great Trip.See you both on Sunday.Or maybe before that.🤗. Keep doing good on Lola's farm with the animals,and the Greenhouse with your Plants growing great.❤.Nana Raquel.
A black roof is a very bad idea. Black is going to draw in the heat so bad. I love the gray for the house. There are so many shades you can check out. You guys are doing great with the projects. See ya next time Hugs
Saludos desde Chiapas, México. Hey Freddy I studied linguistics in Germany. In the U.S. the word for wohnlich is homey; and in GB, homely. Love your content! Einen schönen Tag wünsche ich euch, noch! Bis bald y bendiciones!
Black would not be nice for the heat. I have a white roof to reflect the heat. I love the color of your roof. I vote to leave it. Love the new wood on the outside! Bringing your place together. The finishing touches.
Your Color for exterior is Khaki or Antique White; it fits the over all theme. When going to the paint store carry with you a very white business card. Place blank side of the card along side the color your looking at to get an accurate shade of the color you are viewing. It can be very difficult choosing a color from a small sample chart, and this method really helps. I've painted professionally for many years. The hardest thing about painting an interior or exterior of a structure is choosing the color. A flat paint is a little softer than sheens. A light sheen will add some luster like a satin finish. {which I prefer for exterior.} I advise you to get a latex 100% acrylic paint. The 100% acrylic protects against ultra violet rays which break down the adhesives in the paint and gives the coating longer life. Make sure you pressure wash all the dirt and oils on the surfaces your going to paint. Then two coats of paint. One coat, 1st coat should be a sealer which is usually a clear sticky thin liquid which gives a good bonding for the 2nd coat. When I've done it, I usually mix 50-50 sealer-paint to give the 1st coat some color and makes the 2nd coat a lot easier. Otherwise you could be putting a 3rd coat. Always use drop cloths, and be wise to have buckets of water with cloth near by for spills or fast clean ups. Don't paint on humid days during wet season. It slows the drying, and if it rains it could wash away your paint.
I love it so far 😍 I think a darker gray for outside. Also, get some hanging plants to give it a more homey look. I love your videos. Freddie has blossomed there. I love how she loves all the animals ❤️
Noooo don’t change the colour of the roof!!! It’s too awesome!!! Paint the siding a complimentary colour to the roof… or same colour as roof, but many shades lighter.
The black roof will make it hot. Black absorbs heat. The turquoise is beautiful. Just do a light color for your exterior. White, creamy white, light pale, pale grey. The light paint will reflect away heat.
You could always go monochromatic & use aqua paint. Wow R & F your home is really looking amazing! Great job guys!!! Seeing the monkeys was a treat. Maybe they want to move into your old pad. You could tie down the corners of the tarp with bungee cords to temporarily hold it in place.
You can tell that Freddie is a true caregiver, I hope Rodrigo realizes what a peach he's got! And I love how she throws herself into absolutely everything she does.
Yes my thoughts exactly . Shes a diamond in hiding .
I think a medium shade of gray would work with the trim and roof colour. Don’t paint the roof black, it will attract the heat and your house will be hot and also the sun will peel the paint eventually, causing more maintenance for you to look good. Green is a hard colour to look good with your roof, so stick to white or a shade of grey. ( Beige would work too). You guys are doing a great job!👍
Agreed! Or bluish gray colot like Cadet Gray.
Go w a BLUE ROOF ! (Lahaina, Maui !!!! 👀)
Agreed absolutly! You shouldn't paint the roof black. That could easly raice the temperature at least 5 degrees celcius more. It would be an oven on sunny days.
Agreed. 👍🏽
That is exactly what I was going to say...Thank you for letting them know! Black is a heat collector.
I vote for a white body on the house. Black/white/turquoise/stained wood - beautiful!!! Black trim around doors and windows - very sharp. And of course decks front and back of the a frame. You could even build a workshop below the back deck and gradually build it out! Just a thought as you already use it for storage and should plan stacking/organizing solutions Looking so nice, great to see some RnR in Costa Rica!
Black roof will make it hotter inside. Any dark color will make it hotter!
Exactly! That’s what I said.
Very true
Guys it only gets to a hi of 70 degrees f & 1/2 the yr its cloudy & raining . Its not in the states or deserts
Don't change the roof, we all love it!
👀 M A U I

It can flood. Not a good idea for Panama. It can literally rains nonstop for days.
Good idea
I thought the same, but then it rains and it will definitely flood. Just keep things in order below so it looks neater and easily accessible.
Funny, I was thinking the same thing but also wondering about the rain. I’m wonder if they could figure out a way to dig it out without compromising the foundation holding up the house and divert the water away from it with maybe some underground French drain where it can divert away from the house.

Even a medium gray.
Love your blue roof, definitely a signature color 💙 and maintenance free ... something to think about ...
Nothing quite like living in the rainforest. I remember the battle to get our laundry dry.
The wooden boards on the outside look so great. You have both done a wonderful job. So much rain… look forward to seeing it finished.
Gray is a color to complement the blue-green roof & the wood pieces. No black roof. Your house is looking good!
Dark colors absorb heat (also attracts mosquitoes). You do not want a black roof in that climate.

That would work. Because a lot of their colors are terra-cotta and turquoise. I think it would look good.

I think you should make the shed bigger so you have a work space while you're building especially during rainy season
Paint the siding dark gray. It will go excellent with the bluegreen roof and the stain of the wood!!!!!
The hardware store has color wheels that help you figure out colors that go well together.
no black roof!! it's a gorgeous blue. yes, a gentle slate grey that has some blue in it would match perfectly,. you are both adorable and the house is coming along beautifully ,bless.xx

A Dark Blue Teal (color code 6371) would look so nice. Check it out beside the rest of the materials, including the wood and the roof color. Great job guys, it's looking so good. What a difference it makes. Keep it up. Love and be safe!😘🤗🌼ve
I have seen a large house in the woods painted w dark blue teal, it is beautiful and blends in well with the environment. My choice color!
The black roof I feel will be bad ideal because it will draw the heat from the sun. Will make your home so hot inside 🥵 the blue roof is so nice and the gray out side home will look good with black frame on the windows and trim to match your rails. An industrial modern look is suitable for your home ❤️❤️ but that just my opinion 😊☕️🙏🏽
I think a light Terracotta color would look nice. Like the colors of Mexican tiles. It would go with the roof and the wooden boards.
Best idea yet.
Yes, I agree.
A black roof will absorb the heat and be miserable in the summer…grey would look nice for the house but you need to keep the roof turquoise! It is perfect!
I wouldn’t advise painting the roof anytime because if and when it starts to peel off it will be a lot to maintain.
You should paint the
house before putting all the wood trim on as now you have to be careful so you don’t get paint on the wood
Your both doing an amazing job love watching your progress and happiness
Agree with some others. Medium grey for the roof and light grey for the rest of the house with the wood trim would look BEAUTIFUL. Maybe dark grey for windows trim or the same stain wood that matches what you are currently doing.🥰❤️
Black absorbs and holds heat. White reflects heat. Keep that in mind when choosing the colors of your home. I think you should keep the roof the beautiful color it is, teal. The wood soffitt trim is beautiful. Maybe a black or white for the house color? I don't know, but, whatever you choose, I am sure it will be beautiful as well. Much love from Florida.
So happy you're giving the front of the house some love, it looks great. I can't help to wonder how things will look in a couple years. You're really turning your dream into a reality, and now that you have someone to share it with , it's just even better. Be careful up high, it makes me nervous watching you, think about getting a harness, so if you fall, it hurts but you don't die ! It's worth the investment I think, good luck to you both.
Roger on the ladder what a Kodak moment. 😊
The snoring doggy is so cute! Have you 2 checked into grout stain remover yet? It's better than replacing the messed up title.
Welcome back from your travels. The doggie massage therapy was so funny. Very clever solution for the framing. I hope sealing the wood keeps it from needing to be replaced in couple of years. That's a LOT of rain. More than we had to deal with in Florida and I thought that was soggy. Keep after it.
Liveable is a word and made perfect sense. Your English is so good. Love the progress.
Thank you! ☺️
A charcoal grey on the exterior of the house would be lovely and black on the roof would attract too much heat during the summertime, bad idea. You guys are a lovely couple. Stay authentic.
Frankly I like that tropical turquoise color on the roof. But no DARK color! You’ll attract HEAT & boil inside…especially upstairs.
Liveable is an English word Freddie you were correct in your usage of that term. I must admit I like the thought of a black roof, but leaving it green is ok too. As for your house colour, I think either white or grey, it will blend well with your wood trim and roof colour, even if it’s black or green. It’s lovely seeing you progress on the finishing touches.
You should place some clear corrugated roofing on that picnic area/patio
Rodrigo, green blue is called Aqua and it goes wonderfully with wood color. Omg, don’t color the roof black, you will suffer the heat! Be careful working on the long latter upstairs, especially when it rains, for fear of slipping and falling. Use a safety rope tied around you! I’m not your moma, but like a good older brother advice. Don’t be stubborn, do it in a dry day. It better to be safe then sorry.
No black roof and a pale gray would look beautiful! The trim looks beautiful! Great jobs guys!❤
I rather like the light grey. Don't forget a black roof will store and amplify the heat during the day making it hotter inside regardless of the insulation.
Oh no!!! A black roof will draw in so much more solar heat to the house... making it hot inside. The turquoise is pretty... perhaps just white on the walls... white is a cooling color and goes great with the other colors of the house.
OMYGOSH! The dog snoring is hilarious 😂
I'd paint it that siding color yellow. It would go w green and the wood stain.
That wood definitely makes it look alot more finished. Good job.
Black will make the roof hot 😊
The existing roof color is gorgeous..the grey is really attractive maybe a little darker? And I agree.. please don't paint the roof black it will make it super hot and you'll have to maintain it more!!
Freddie the big flys called horse fly. Here in ohio...great job on you home. It's never ending job..😅
The color of your roof is nice and characteristic.. I wouldn't change it! Plus it may be a bad idea to paint it with the weather you have on the farm! And I think it goes well with the colors you have already on the house exterior. White or light gray are my favourites for the walls but the most important thing is that you do what you like most! It's your house!❤
Leave it painted light gray, it matches all surfaces
I love the way Roger just climbs up the ladder 🪜😄
You place is coming together perfectly ❤️
You're very talented my brother 😍 and your other half has brought you so much joy and comfort, I can see that you really love each other 💕
Love you all 😊
I think you should leave the roof the same color. I love the green color
I like the grey you have now but it could go a little darker and still match everything. I also think it’s a bad idea to paint the roof black. Black will absorb the heat and your house will be constantly hot. Getting to tongue and groove in has really changed the look of the house. Great job guys!
I would go with a charcoal Grey on the walls. Match the window trim to your other wood accents and leave the roof alone. Let the roof be your splash of color.
My vote is keep the blue green signature color on the roof. You can use a warm white on the house, like Benjamin Moore's Simply White. It has a nice glow. Or use a cream color or light beige on the house if you want more color to it. All these colors go nicely w the green roof and natural wood. Well done. I look forward to each new video you make.
Freddie, “livable” is an English word! Don’t doubt your language skills😊. Great job by the way, the house is looking great!
I like. I Like the work bench. With all the timber and offcuts. You could of build a state of the art work bench. "Your good out trolley ".
Thanks for another amazing video. Regards from South Africa 🇿🇦.
I like the light gray with the existing roof and wood trim
Good job, you 2 special people & fur babies!! The rain somewhat slowed you down, but despite that, you pressed on & accomplished so much, Rodrigo & Freddie!! Blessings!! 🇺🇸
Rodrigo and Freddie, I think you should paint the A FRAME A SLATE COLOR.. DARK GRAY... I THINK IT WOULD MAKE THE WOOD COLOR POP AND WOULD LOOK SO GOOD WITH THE ROOF❤ 💯💯💯💯 IF YOU PAINT IT GREEN IT WILL NOT MATCH WITH THE COLOR OF ROOF THAT YOU HAVE BECAUSE IT IS A VERY UNIQUE COLOR... I THINK THE SLATE WOULD BE SUCH AN AMAZING CONTRAST WITH THE COLOR OF THE WOOD AND THE COLOR OF THE ROOF✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼💯💯💯 MAKE A BOARD WITH DIFFERENT COLORS THAT YOU LIKE AND HOLD THEM AGAINST THE WOOD AND THE COLOR OF THE ROOF. THIS IS WHAT I DID TO MY HOME WHEN I WAS CHOOSING COLORS... IM SURE YOU TWO WILL PICK THE MOST AMAZING COLOR FOR YOUR HOME BUT PLEASE CONSIDER THE SLATE/ DARK GRAY COLOR ❤ LOVE AND SO MANY BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL ❤️🙏❤️
I LOVE the finishing touch on the inside of the roof!!! So nice!! I think the same shade of grey you painted the tarp room bench seats would be PERFECT for the house and it would match the tarp room when it's in it's normal state as a seating area!!! It's looking sooo good!!!
Gray will not clash and will look beautiful with the roof and ceiling colors.❤
Rod, Freddie.You both kick Butt great Job both of you.Can't wait to see the finish Job.❤Nana Raquel.And welcome back from your Trip happy you had a great Trip.See you both on Sunday.Or maybe before that.🤗. Keep doing good on Lola's farm with the animals,and the Greenhouse with your Plants growing great.❤.Nana Raquel.
A black roof is a very bad idea. Black is going to draw in the heat so bad. I love the gray for the house. There are so many shades you can check out. You guys are doing great with the projects. See ya next time Hugs
There’s a picture behind Freddy in the bathroom. That has turquoise/teal, orange, yellow. And it looks good.
Saludos desde Chiapas, México. Hey Freddy I studied linguistics in Germany. In the U.S. the word for wohnlich is homey; and in GB, homely. Love your content! Einen schönen Tag wünsche ich euch, noch! Bis bald y bendiciones!
My vote would be taracotta for the front and back walls, probably a lighter shade.
The area most in need is that utility room near dining room. Then the bottom of house needs a wrap around with entrance on two sides
Black would not be nice for the heat. I have a white roof to reflect the heat. I love the color of your roof. I vote to leave it. Love the new wood on the outside! Bringing your place together. The finishing touches.
Get some clear polycarbonate roof to put on top the pergola. So it's still open, and you can use it to work under if need be as well
Your Color for exterior is Khaki or Antique White; it fits the over all theme.
When going to the paint store carry with you a very white business card.
Place blank side of the card along side the color your looking at to get an
accurate shade of the color you are viewing. It can be very difficult choosing
a color from a small sample chart, and this method really helps. I've painted
professionally for many years. The hardest thing about painting an interior
or exterior of a structure is choosing the color.
A flat paint is a little softer than sheens. A light sheen will add some luster
like a satin finish. {which I prefer for exterior.} I advise you to get a latex 100%
acrylic paint. The 100% acrylic protects against ultra violet rays which break down
the adhesives in the paint and gives the coating longer life.
Make sure you pressure wash all the dirt and oils on the surfaces your going to
paint. Then two coats of paint. One coat, 1st coat should be a sealer which is usually
a clear sticky thin liquid which gives a good bonding for the 2nd coat.
When I've done it, I usually mix 50-50 sealer-paint to give the 1st coat some color
and makes the 2nd coat a lot easier. Otherwise you could be putting a 3rd coat.
Always use drop cloths, and be wise to have buckets of water with cloth near by
for spills or fast clean ups. Don't paint on humid days during wet season. It slows
the drying, and if it rains it could wash away your paint.
A darker color of Gray will go great with all your colors. I think it would look super fine
I love it so far 😍 I think a darker gray for outside. Also, get some hanging plants to give it a more homey look. I love your videos. Freddie has blossomed there. I love how she loves all the animals ❤️
A nice powder blue color would look really nice with the color of your roof
Noooo don’t change the colour of the roof!!! It’s too awesome!!! Paint the siding a complimentary colour to the roof… or same colour as roof, but many shades lighter.
It’s looking really good. I would paint your end walls charcoal grey . It would look good with both the blue roof and the wood.
The black roof will make it hot. Black absorbs heat. The turquoise is beautiful. Just do a light color for your exterior. White, creamy white, light pale, pale grey. The light paint will reflect away heat.
I know I don't comment often but I think a light beige would definitely look great color
You could always go monochromatic & use aqua paint. Wow R & F your home is really looking amazing! Great job guys!!! Seeing the monkeys was a treat. Maybe they want to move into your old pad. You could tie down the corners of the tarp with bungee cords to temporarily hold it in place.
Charcoal grey for the exterior
Grey is my vote. Maybe a bit darker than the current color. Looks great, guys!!
Should paint the front/back of the house first and then put up the overhang slats.
