- Our first youtube video ever!
Just limewashed the exterior brick on the back of our house. We started with the back in case we messed it all up!
Cool thing about this limewash is that is can be removed upto 2 days after application (I'd recommend a power washer). You can also touch up areas and it'll blend right in.

The brick looks great right here
Limewash is not toxic😂
😂 sorry not toxic, but I’ve read it’s hazardous and can cause chemical burns if not washed off.
Looking good... can’t wait to see the finished product!
Thanks! We can't either! lol
Thanks for doing this video. We are about to do ours.🤞
Good luck!
This is coming out amazing, love the color.
Thanks for being our first comment ever! 😂 Glad you liked the outcome.
What color did you use?
@@donaldhill1758 Riposo Beige mixed with Roman Black earth pigment. I posted the links
@@hackrestore7116 thank you, so much. That's is the color we have chosen. Nice to see this color on your home. Beautiful!
@@donaldhill1758 Thank you, and good luck with yours! Hopefully this video was somewhat helpful!
It looked nice too
Thanks!
I love it!
Thank you!
I liked your video, but a fyi when you play music it's so loud I have to lower the volume, but when you speak I have to raise it back up. So I find myself annoyed because I'm constantly raising and lowering the volume. If you can please adjust the volume of music to be low and in the background. Or just don't have any music at all. Sorry I don't mean to be ugly, but I think if you were to fix that your video would be awesome.
Thanks for the feedback! It was my first video, still learning!
It turned out really nice!!
Thank you!!
I lovvve this color
Thank you!
Is this permanent? I like it
Once it sets yes
When you are spraying it with water, does it spread what you are washing off on the area around it and below? I was wondering if you found you had to rinse the deck and ground below also ?
It does fall onto the deck so I’d advise laying something on the ground to protect the deck.
Thank you!! Excellent video and it gave me the confidence to attempt this next week, thanks for taking the time to do this .
@@mikek6320 Nice man so glad to hear that, cuz I almost didn’t post it! Good luck and I want to see the finished product!
I have Chicago brick floors that were previously sealed. They are almost the same color as my kitchen cabinets as is. I want to lighten the brick floors and thought that white washing be a good idea; however was told that because the bricks were sealed, I could not do a traditional white wash. Any ideas of how I could get a white wash look on a sealed brick floor and it be durable?
Hey so sorry I missed this. You could limewash them and then seal them with something like 511 Impregnator sealer which can be used on stone. I’d test a small area first though b/c idk what they were originally sealed with. The good thing with limewash is that it’s not hard to remove within the first 24 hours of application
Did your lime wash project on brick floor work?
@@JC-nc3co Hi. I haven't had time to get to that project yet. Thanks for checking in.
You didn't get between the cracks/grout
Some areas I did, some I didn’t but that was intentional. Since I wanted a distressed look, I wasn’t going for perfect coverage
Uhhhhh where’s the finished version?
They posted a video of the finished product
Hi, can we see a pic of the finished product?

What color is the siding??
It’s James Hardie Khaki Brown. The siding is Hardie board and comes in specific colors, but I know Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams both match the color.
