Do you know what color/type of fence stain you have? It's time for me to restain my fence and I really like that look.
It's always great to have people criticize something like that when the whole point in going straight to the sub is to get it done cheaper. You want it perfect, pay perfect prices to the trades. When I used to do this, I tried to keep mud off of materials, but sometimes when your back is tired, it won't stop raining and you are trying to get out of a job with some money to feed your family, a little mud on a board is your last thought.Aggietaco said:

Not sure what which part you're referring to.justsomeguy said:
I just got done building a 13 X 22 patio cover with large 12" beams and columns that are wrapped 12X12 paneling. It looks incredible. Not sure why you felt the need to drill into your Crete. It makes it weaker at that point. They make stabilizing braces for this application where you mount directly on top. That's what I did and it worked like a charm. Now to figure out how to get pics uploaded.
I intentionally didn't wire the ceiling for speakers. I didn't want to have to find a place to put an a/v receiver outside or run it inside. I went with a soundbar that connects straight to the tv and is also connectable via bluetooth.justsomeguy said:
I also wired the ceiling with speakers for my outdoor tv and receiver. That is a must for any outdoor build.

There are higher end and better fans out there, but this is a great bang for your buck. FYI: the controls (fan speed up/down and turn light on/off/dim) is all from the remote. Even though this is a fan/light, it only functions off a single wall switch.kcag96 said:
Details on the ceiling fan? We need a new one.
Understood that guy didn't give a **** about mud on a panel, hence why it was still there when he left his finished work for someone else to take care of later.Builder93 said:It's always great to have people criticize something like that when the whole point in going straight to the sub is to get it done cheaper.

It's all limestone based, similar to concrete, but uses limestone as opposed to portland cement (that my be way off, but that's my understanding).
The first coat was a pretty thin base coat. They went back the next day with a 3/8-1/2" overlay. They let it dry for a few hours before going in and freehanding the grount lines. They let it dry for a few hours and applied the dye/pigment with sponges. They used a few different colors (grays/tans/browns).
It's no substitute for flagstone or natural rock, but I didn't have that choice given my height to the back door threshold.
I used https://limecoatdfw.com and they were great to work with. Allied Outdoor Solutions (big company with locations in all the majors in TX) has a similar product/solution that they call Carvestone, but was a 40% price increase for my job.
