You can tell that Freddie is a true caregiver, I hope Rodrigo realizes what a peach he's got! And I love how she throws herself into absolutely everything she does.

[mattEd]

Your next project should be… Digging out a foot and a half underneath your house, and pouring a concrete slab. This way you can have a great place for you to do your construction work, and she can have an art studio.

I vote for a white body on the house. Black/white/turquoise/stained wood - beautiful!!! Black trim around doors and windows - very sharp. And of course decks front and back of the a frame. You could even build a workshop below the back deck and gradually build it out! Just a thought as you already use it for storage and should plan stacking/organizing solutions Looking so nice, great to see some RnR in Costa Rica!

Hard to believe it’s been 10 months already! And yet it seems like a forever relationship. You two are the very best!

[unsocialbutterfly]

The dogs literally smile when they get love from Freddie ❤ I would cry too, if I saw monkeys happily free and wild in my yard, that’s super cool Freddie. People who can truly appreciate animals, the way that you do, are good people…you’re good people Freddie 🤗 You’re my kind of people!

I agree with Freddie black roof is a bad idea. Better to paint it white to reflect the sun and keep the inside cool. Black will make it hot inside. I like the light grey too. Great job house is looking really good!

[carrysparadise]

Don't change the roof, we all love it!

[beverlymcdonald]

Yes, I agree that gray would be a good color. Don't paint the roof, leave it the color it is, it's so cool looking.

[RitaVernoy]

Nothing quite like living in the rainforest. I remember the battle to get our laundry dry.

[LonaWilson-cf]

I think a medium shade of gray would work with the trim and roof colour. Don’t paint the roof black, it will attract the heat and your house will be hot and also the sun will peel the paint eventually, causing more maintenance for you to look good. Green is a hard colour to look good with your roof, so stick to white or a shade of grey. ( Beige would work too). You guys are doing a great job!👍

[patboyum]

Love the wood trim... It adds charm to the outside of the home greatly. When I googled colors that match it said Blues, Grey's, Tan, all will match your current colors of green, grey and wood. Please do not change the color of the roof. Any paint in it will require quite a lot of maintenance as the weather chips it.

[jrichter]

No black roof. You don't need the added heat. White or gray would look fantastic on your siding. I love how well you guys work together. Shows how compatible you two really are.

[rhonak]

Love your blue roof, definitely a signature color 💙 and maintenance free ... something to think about ...

[DavidPaxton-tjwt]

Black roof will make it hotter inside. Any dark color will make it hotter!

[cheryldingley]

The wooden boards on the outside look so great. You have both done a wonderful job. So much rain… look forward to seeing it finished.

[judyturner]

Rodrigo and Freddie. We really enjoy the show since Freddie arrived. She's added so much life to the show and has great design and style. You're discussing painting the house. Listen up. LEAVE THE ROOF ALONE. THE COLOR IS PERFECT FOR THE TROPICAL AREA! RODRIGO, BLACK IS A TERRIBLE IDEA! THE PERFECT COLOR FOR YOUR HOME IS YELLOW. IT GOES PERFECT WITH THE TEAL COLOR ON THE ROOF AND THE NATUAL WOOD TRIM AND BLACK METAL TRIM. IT WILL BE BRIGHT AND LIVELY. THEN, ADD PLANTS TO THE BALCONY AND AROUND THE HOUSE. You should also consider taking the corner of the house with the highest elevation UNDER THE HOUSE. Clean it all out, build a room and store all your lumber and supplies out of the rain. it looks big enough to have a work shop OUT OF THE RAIN. When everything else is done, please clean out UNDER THE HOUSE. Thanks to Freddie, it looks like Rodrigo is completing some projects! Finish projects and then move on. Keep up the good work guys. We pray for you and wish you much success. Judy &Jerry

Gray is a color to complement the blue-green roof & the wood pieces. No black roof. Your house is looking good!

[itsthatguy]

Rodrigo, Freddie, I love your videos and have been a subscriber from the start of this channel.
I have a suggestion for you.
Dig out the underside of the house and create a DRY working area for the rainy days.
Dig it deep enough that Freddie doesn't bump her head and can stand up completely.
In other words, dig a basement.
❤ Love you guys ❤️

[gingerl]

Dark colors absorb heat (also attracts mosquitoes). You do not want a black roof in that climate.
Just my 2 cents lol. Take a sample or pic of each color (roof and wood) take to paint store to match a great color. Keep up the great job…Much love guys.

[debbiebarnard]

Black absorbs heat, white reflects. I love your green roof! Light greys, with accents of black and wood are very fetching! Pale peach, or yellow would work. Dark blue, or darker green, or black on the walls would be interesting as well!
