Anything Fuente or Partagas pre 1995, newer cigars: La Aroma de Cuba is a good smoke for the moneylately though I prefer an English blend in the briar

the first two posts are a great suggestion, just want to throw another option at you to consider, you can use a grinder with a concrete blade and use it like a sander and blend the batch into the original wall area to make the patch blend in better with the wall then use a basement paint like Drylock or a water proofing that is painted on the walls, its a little thicker then just concrete paint and will help to cover up the patched area.

I'm finding the blend of ideas and philosophies somewhat  interestning on this thread.

The siding should blend with the brick...even choose a color off the brick.

FYI the sod is a bluegrass fescue blend from what they told me. 

So maybe rent reduces initially but you increase rent by 2.5 or 3% annually instead of the current 1.5 for example to get a blended cap rate return over time to the same point.

This tends to be a blend of skills in contracts, negotiations, managing a GC to perform, supply chain management, etc...

Don't make it so bland that it blends in and fades away, but stay away from colors that make even the color-blind folk cringe.I will venture a guess that your common sense already told you that.

You're best approach may be a blended one.  1.

Trellis would work well too, but be careful not to plant something that would grow outward in girth and too tall, as that would visually split the house in half.Paint the white horizontal header at the porch gray, so it will blend in with siding.Extend the porch to the end of the house and change the railings.
