the only thing Id suggest is leaving 1 inch at the base and putting stone, brick, or concrete at the base (to prevent rot). I also would leave that room for seasonal wood expansion so it doesnt expand and break your carport. If you have a router, you can also pre build the boxes 3 sides and use 45 degree a lock mitre bit and tite bond 3 glue. You want exterior grade nails or deck screws as fasteners also or you might get rust streaks over time.

Now the shutters and posts make sense together, very beautiful

Wow! What a cool project, thank you for sharing!

Terrific looking! Good job n makes such a big difference! Omg looks like you’re ready to have the baby!!!

Yesss thanks so much! 🙌🏼 I couldn’t find any cylinder videos either! I really hope I can do this myself

Here's an idea... at the end, show the final product, next to a picture of the metal pole. In my opinion, that gives a better feeling for how much better it looks and how much it was worth the effort and money. Thanks for all you do!

Thought about you yesterday making a Dump and Go meal as how thankful I am for you cause up to that point I wasn't eating.

All our DIY projects end up with us needing marriage counseling 😂I dont know how people do it

Congratulations on your beautiful new princess, hope all of you are doing well!

This looks amazing! and i love how you have a list of everything you used in the description! this should be standard youtube practice!

Great Job ~ looks like baby is coming soon ♥️

Tomorrow night I'm making one of your $5 meals, Sausage Stir Fry. Cut up potatoes, sausage, zucchini, and green beans and of course, Uncle Chris seasoning.

Thanks for sharing!

What color is your back door ? I love it !

Nice but the bottom shouldn't touch the floor to prevent moisture so wood won't warp.

Very nice.

Was wondering if you ever did your rod iron front porch columns? I am looking to do mine and wanted to see how you ended up doing yours so I had an idea to start with. Thanks for all the videos! Trying the lime wash tomorrow!

Deck screws would work as well.

Awesome job. I am guessing the support pole is 3.5 inches in diameter. Why did you use a 1x5 plank as a 1x4 is a more exact fit for a 3.5 inch support pole. Fits more snug and is an exact fit when using with the 2x6 .Thanks.

What color stain did you use on the posts? It looked like a minwax product but you never said! Beautiful job! Looks amazing

Question: Has anyone covered brick pillars w/ wood? I want to do this but not sure if this is structurally ok. Tips are appreciated. TY

That was awesome! Hope all is good at home with the new addition. I'd like to know how you did the ceiling of your garage? It looks beautiful! Is that called soffet? Great video!🌻

Looks great 👍. It seemed odd to see you pregnant now that your precious little girl is born. 💙

what color stain did you use?

We’re redoing our house and we have old wrought iron posts on the front porch that are flat .. I want to do this!

Did you ever do a video on wrapping the wrought iron? I couldn’t find it.

Did you use treated wood, or will exterior stain yield the same result?

Not finding a video wrapping the wrought iron posts ... have you done that yet?

Amateur tip: When using a hammer to position a piece of wood, use a bit of scrap as a buffer between the head of the hammer and your finished piece. That will distribute the impact and prevent imprinting the texture of the head into the wood. The less sanding and finishing, the better, imo.

What stain is used?

Can you tell me if after 3 years you are happy with the way the color has weathered?

What was the stain you used?

Very cool!!!

The pine you are using is a lot cheaper than cedar but will not last as long.

Oh good grief, girl! Go have that baby already! Haha..

That is pine not cedar. Don't disrespect cedar like that!

Thk goodness for your . Nice work .why cause you were straight to the point easy. And didn't treat is like morons and explain every detail and try and complicate it. 🥳🥳

Get a couple of furniture clamps

This doesn't apply to me at all. I just love your videos and love supporting your channel!

Woodglut has a lot of plans to choose from.

Why did your husband have to use a child's hammer? :)

I have done very similar with Stodoys plans designs.

Looks great
