...then I figured I should add the painting, since I rarely have a full weekend off.
That's why I bought brick.
I wish I had a brick house, would make the nights with 60mph winds very quiet!
My house is small and I'm probably on the smallest lot in my town but I like it. My wife disagrees and is constantly looking online for something new. I hope she finds something she likes in her budget. I ain't leavin'! My house is brick and was built in '32. They don't make 'em like that anymore.
When I was in StL with Mike we went to a sandwich shop in an Italian neighborhood...amazing. All fire hydrants were painted flag colors, fences, flag poles, etc...and like sfish said, every house...BRICK. Love Italian neighborhoods
