Unusable Backyard Gets Epic Transformation - Part 2 of 2

What happens here

Prepare the surfaces for painting by filling all nail holes in the ceiling and columns with wood filler. Once the filler is dry, sand it smooth to ensure a seamless finish. The covered deck's ceiling and structural elements (columns, beams) are then painted with an appropriate exterior paint, using a color that matches the house's siding to ensure visual cohesion. The final painted surfaces look clean and uniform.

Goal: Paint the ceiling and column trim to match the house's siding.
