I am not very design inclined but I can duplicate a good idea if I see one.

Hello everyone. I bought a house and would like to make it look better. Its a single family that my wife and I have been living in as we remodel. 

What are some ways we can make the outside look better? We are entertaining the idea of using pour in place pavers for a new sidewalk. 

The porch to me is awkward. I am fairly handy and have extra time on my hands, and enjoy doing the work. The porch on the front of the house has painted tongue and groove boards. the porch on the right side of the house has painted plywood. 

We are going to be repainting the exterior this summer and selling it afterwards.  

This is a lower b high c neighborhood with mostly blue collar families.

You could do hot water baseboard. You size each baseboard by the heat requirements of each room, then size the boiler by total system demand. You can pay someone an hourly rate to check your work at different stages that has experience. Where I am plumbing companies bill at $95+ an hour and pay a laborer $15.
