The attorney may go over a questionnaire with you to be sure you are covering all of the bases (a MLB reference), as the what about losses situation above.There is also the question about tax returns, who will pay for that and should you LLC or not...All that can be discussed with the attorney.The way I look at Partnerships is what's fair for the other side and does that leave me with a fair amount too.Some people want to just knife every last penny for themselves out of the Partnership...So maybe for you one of these ways will work, or some shade of grey between.Good Luck! 

So any one person's answer to the question will be shaded by their own appetite for risk. 

We want it to be more like a large shaded area people can use for outdoor living space.

There are hundreds of shades of white, make sure to find one that doesn't look yellowish against your cabinets and has similar warmth to your floor color.

Maybe go a slightly darker stain to mask imperfections. 

Paint the columns and the trim under the table white, and do the entry door in a darker, richer color that complements the shingles.Keep in mind, the entry is THE most important feature of the front elevation, so you always want to celebrate it as much as possible.

People, if it´s not your cup of tea don´t throw shade on stuff based on personal ideology.

They have 4 different shades to view.

Just curious why one would bother hiring shade like this in your own town?

The Roman Shade he broke and then attempted to fix made it became unusable, so I had to buy a new one.
