The internet told her she’d regret doing this…

the internet was right, never paint over brick it ages badly

Painting brick is crazy. Now you took a maintenance free material and created more work every 2 3 years. Enjoy!

Yeah. The only thing left is to scrub the paint from the bricks and it looks good.

She will - white houses don't stay that way for long. A lot of cleaning in the future.

I love the porch. Not a huge fan of painting brick.

Yeah, that looks pretty awful. A mismatch of styles. Not replacing the shutters makes the house look less detailed. Painting brick is never a good idea. The bulky porch structure just doesn't fit at all.

ah yes the landlord special, just painting over every fucking thing

The internet was right.

Why do people paint over bricks or stone?

Wow. what a talented lady. That's no small feat, what she did. So impressive!

Congrats you took a low maintenance exterior and made it high maintenance requiring regular labor and expense - don't paint brick or stone.

Amazing all the work you did! Suggestion : bring back shutters, maybe even in black?

And it did'nt get nicer...

A reason one pays extra for brick is to never have to worry about painting While the whole job is a transformation it has added long term cost of repaint to an aging householder budget

I had a Colonial Williamsburg house as well. Buyers painted the bricks cream and house looked like crap. In your case, adding the porch completely changes that. Your house looks good.

i was gonna sit in that tree and now i'm looking at a very rude patch of sky

Thanks, I hate it.

It looks like third world ass

for anyone upset about the paint, it's a lime wash and meant to fade over time it's not sealing anything and will eventually have rustic look. not that I necessarily think it's an upgrade, especially with no trim or shutters, and the porch is incongruent with the rest.

Would have to repaint it constantly, so there’s that.

All that money wasted for no noticable beauty increase + lost a tree in the process😂 probably wasted her husband money cause if it was her money she worked hard for. She would think twice before wasting it in clown stuff like this😆

Granted I only watched half the video, but only painting the bottom half of the house makes it look terrible and unfinished. I can see why she regrets it.

Hubiera sido increíble conservar el árbol también

The internet was right.

When the stain goes on the wood my insides get warm

The way the tree came down and painting a door still on it's hinges 🙄 Stopped the vid there, I know what the ghetto looks like ya dum bish

That tree? You need to remove almost all of the roots... Chances are they are already in the weepers and under the foundation... Trees close to a foundation will always be risky

putting paint over brick is a sin.

@Slicesouth Wow! What a fabulous transformation! 🏡

painting brick is a very bad idea

I think she's sealed up her house. And the moisture is going to get trapped in the brick, right?
