The other thing I notice and this goes from East Coast to west coast northern border to southern border is the poor have an affinity for red or black gauze like curtains.

On one of their finds, they told us that they found black mold in the kitchen and bathroom, which is interesting since I painted and redid the faucets in those two areas, and saw none.  

Paint it, remove green weeds and green window cover thing, maybe black top the driveways.

So I picked up a 5lb bag from Black Rifle.

If it's an old wood window that can't be replaced or blocked super easily, you could always go down to the studs from the inside, put a piece of treated plywood (painted black) over the window itself, and screw that into place so that it's flush with the studs.  

black and white looks good . the grays are out 

Title companies ignoring this policy will eventually (after default, claim and investigation) get black-balled from closing federally insured loans… regardless of whether or not they are aware of it.

If you insist on using a VA loan, it's written in VA guidelines in black/white that only folks re-upping can use their military income as qualifying income within 12 months of EAS. 

We went with a modern/rustic theme - added string lights in the back yard, black paint on the stone fireplace, and a mix of modern and rustic furniture and light fixtures, etc. 

We just put up a black curtain to hide them out.
