Hmmm, interesting. Thank you both for the replies. Yes, the Barney Rubble front yard will be going. Also, I failed to mention that this is in Salt Lake City, though one could glean from my profile that that's the deal. The nandinas look nice; I'll find out how they will do in the arid high desert.
When you say whitewash, are you two talking about painting the brick? I know many frown upon such a thing on this forum (I've been stalking here for a while now).
Yes, a duplex. The white door is new; we'll be painting it when the weather gets warm. Probably bright orange but subject to change. We are replacing the other door with the same white door, but probably doing something like bright blue for differentiation. Too funky?
I also failed to mention, but is probably obvious...the goal is to rent these units as highly as is possible, particularly so that when we refinance, the appraisal is glowing. Then on to the next purchase.
Sorry, I'm not exactly sure what you mean about the roofline. We're new.
Yes, the shingle is ugly and also looks rather dilapidated. I'll look into new ones. Black would probably help a lot.
I had the funky idea (I didn't pass it on to my spouse yet) of painting the house black, with black shingles, and white doors with white windows and trim. Super crazy?
I know what unfluted columns are but have no real idea where to look for them. Square? Round? One issue is that the carport is very narrow, and anything much thicker may begin to cause clearance issues with today's giant cars.
Thanks again for the replies.
