Looking good!
Funny you should ask. We're struggling with the exterior color decisions. The wall around the front windows (and back patio windows) will be stone of some kind. Everything else not yet covered will be stucco. We're thinking white stone, white stucco, maybe a medium grey for the siding and either dark or a rich wood stain for the tongue-in-groove. There is also tongue-in-groove under the patio cover. We're thinking either match the rich wood color or do a light blonde stain. Thoughts??

Soffits are made of the same fiberboard as the siding. We would have preferred more tongue-in-groove, but didn't catch it in time and don't want to pay to have it changed. Maybe down the line.

Sounds sharp! I like the ideas. I would match the underside of the patio cover with whatever color you stain the tongue-in-groove on the front of the house. I wouldn't go too dark on the cedar - don't want to lose the contrast with the gray paint on the siding. I like the idea of matching the stucco and stone, though! The texture difference should be enough without the colors being different. Don't want the exterior to come across as too patchwork.

No worries - it sounds like you've got enough wood accents on the exterior without fussing about the soffits. Less work to just have them painted cement board, too.

Can't wait to see the progress!

I also fabbed up a custom aluminum cover for the top so i can use the firepit as a table due to such small amount of space in the sideyard...
I assume you've got that connected to a natural gas line, as I don't see a propane tank sitting around anywhere?

Correct, it's NG version and I ran a line from the pool equipment room.

basement project on hold for the time being as i've been working at finishing and painting the final bay in the garage! got some more black cabinets on order to be installed on the open right side wall there as well as a black refrigerator/freezer! measured the cabinets and refrigerator and i have plenty of room



also received both my tire storage racks from TireRack.com. installed one of them and the other will be installed above my HF tool box. i also ordered the tire totes to give it a nicer aesthetics appeal. Very easy to install if i may add






this is the wall where the new refrigerator and cabinets will be installed


now wanna ask you guys if you think having the garage rails painted flat black look cool or should i leave it metal looking? i think the flat black looks pretty clean. let me know

The black looks good, but won’t the tracks just wear back to aluminum after a few openings? Maybe it won’t be noticeable.

if you ever look at the inside rails the wheels sit on the bottom part of the track. it doesn't rub against the side or top.

Is it too late to change the fridge? I find that skinny freezer absolutely infuriating to use.

Looks good. I've always thought just plain galvanized steel looks cheap and like shit most of the time.

Nice! I've had the same Tire Rack paraphernalia on my garage wall for awhile. I even took them with me when I moved. lol. The tire totes have held up well over the last decade but oils from the tire rubber will eventually bleed in.

Didn't think about the oils? I wait and see.

You can't really tell while they're up on the rack, only when you can see more of the sides/faces. It's not like they are dripping with oil and it doesn't transfer off so i wouldn't worry about it. The totes have held up well since I got them (~10yrs ago) and haven't worn thru or torn. Definitely worth the $$$!

OK good don't get the skinny freezer fridge. They are a poor design, so annoying in the freezer section.

I agree. For the garage we got a simple, cheap fridge that has freezer on top and fridge on bottom with no ice / water dispenser. Between the fridge style and elimination of the dispenser we were able to get a smaller fridge and there was more than enough space in the freezer (and more usable space in the fridge too).

The black looks good brother. I've thought about doing the same to mine when I repaint the garage.

The inevitable garage remodel/5S project will most likely happen next spring. I'm considering cabinets, floors, walls and trying to come up with ideas for the inside of the garage door. I've made friends with the local sign shop company while having them make custom orders for work. Considering a big vinyl graphic of some kind, just not sure what artwork to use.

Curious on the painting of the galvanized rails. I noticed you painted your spring as well. Will that impact annual service on the parts? I guess my question is although it looks nice, will the paint prevent penetration of the oils used in service and will the oils/lube stain the paint after?

doesn't look like the paint should cause any issues with the spring. i mean, the spring was already black...i just touched it up.

on that note i've been trying to find a black refrigerator/freezer without the water dispenser but most i've found are smaller. i'm looking for at least 20 cubic+

Not sure of your budget but try Frigidaire Model #FFHT2033VE which I found with a quick search at Lowe’s.

You will need the garage freezer kit probably as well, unless you heat your garage? I had to install one on my beer fridge, very simple install.
