That’s why I won’t invest in a blue state.

Some of these "Blue Collar" guys can get a little (or a lot) "Blue" in their language.

Hi Dana,In addition to paint, maybe put a strip of black indoor outdoor carpet just in front of the door (and on the steps if they are not cement).That area is going to take most of the abuse of moving (scraping appliances and furniture) in and out, as well as most of the foot traffic.Cut 3 or 4 more sheets and toss them in the attic for future use.A hand full of staples is much cheaper and faster on turns than a full repaint.Also keep in mind that is a long narrow space and Lighter colors make things appear larger, darker colors--the opposite.Good Luck!

Other comment was red states are doing much better than blue states because of their covid response and opening up faster.

The water is not crystal blue like the Caribbean or parts of Florida, but that is the nature of the current flows, but there are some distinctions in the areas along the coast that I can tell you about.
