cakesmith handyman posted:Good advice. Also don't be afraid to just pick a wall and paint it, if you don't like it you can paint it again. Obvious but more than half the walls in my house are the original poo poo beige "fawn" and I'm just now getting around to painting them because I didn't want to paint the wrong colour. As far as picking colors, if there are any elements you aren't going to replace that can be a great place to start, whether that's flooring or carpeting or cabinets or whatever. I picked the color for my kitchen based on the color of the granite countertops, and then the colors for the living room based on what would look good next to the kitchen and so on. I also can't encourage anyone trying to pick paint enough to go to Home Depot or Lowes or whatever (it doesn't matter if you're going to buy the paint somewhere else) and nab a big stack of their little color booklets from all of the brands they have. A lot of them will have little curated color collections with design ideas that can give you some idea of how they might actually look in a house. There's a world of difference between looking at a bunch of colors on Sherwin Williams' website and looking at them physically reproduced on an object you can bring into your actual space with your actual lighting etc etc.

barbecue at the folks posted:Man, that cooking island with a coal barbecue, that is dope as all hell. I like it, too, but there's a big problem with it - the dials for the electric elements are behind the elements. Meaning you have to reach over them to turn them off.

Not a mcmansion, but it blew my mind to see this house still having a big CRT in one of the guest rooms as well as a big projection tv. I figure with a house like this, you could afford to get some good flat screens. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/508-S-Fielder-Rd-Arlington-TX-76013/28990832_zpid/ I do really want the office though.

The Zillow search term of the day is "barndominium", an abomination that seems to mostly be a thing in Texas for some reason   lack of windows can be a problem  I kinda like this one tbh  but the best barndos are the ones where the owners never actually finished them and just decided to live in them anyway

When McMansion Hell talks about cheap materials -- is vinyl siding condemned to cheapness or are there quality versions of the product?

just another posted:When McMansion Hell talks about cheap materials -- is vinyl siding condemned to cheapness or are there quality versions of the product? Vinyl siding is meant to imitate wood siding. Wood requires a lot more maintenance, so it's hard to say if one or the other is "better". But there are products like hardiplank that are both more expensive and much better than either.

That's what I've got and, in my experience, if you don't have vegetation right up against your house so as to avoid mildew and if you pick a color that roughly matches your local dust, it's as good as maintenance free. e: Cobwebs still happen I guess

I've got it on my house also, and there are sections with poor air flow that also don't get a lot of sun (landscape, inside corners, etc) and I just hit them with the pressure washer on occasion. I don't even need to use soap or anything - it just comes right off.

The window at chandelier-level was just a huge plate glass window, no architectural details or anything. Just looked like an empty dead socket, it was awful.

The Zillow search term of the day is "funky". Apparently funky in realtorbabble just means "is a color other than white-gray-beige" but I found some very mild funk in there    but this house is the funk, the whole funk and nothing but the funk    (these are straight walls)
