WOW! You all have been so helpful to me. I love this forum! martinca, yes we have lots of azaleas and the like...very southern! Maybe one day we'll paint the house and post a pic for you! Awm03, thanks for the photoshop! I do need to think about this idea about one color for the future. For now, it's just small stuff. Suero, yikes! Thanks for doing that for me....definitely not a fan of red shutters! Littlebug5, My3dogs, and hoosiergirl, I can totally agree that the red door is not the best color. And I can see how it clashes with the orange and there are lots of better colors out there. I just really wanted a personal stamp on the house. The idea of matching occurred to me (the door was originally the same color as the shutters) and I was thinking of green....but there is already so much green in that yard. I think if you saw the inside of my house you could see what color people we are. I even dress in a colorful way...mixing patterns(hmmm, I wonder how many of us resemble our home decorationg in terms of personal dress? That would be a fun experiment, match the homeowner to the house!). Like I said, I totally get that the door is not perfect in terms of matching but it just makes me happy! I love it. My3 dogs, hmmm. I can see what you mean! I think it would look nice with the siding that color too (did you notice there door shutters were still on in that pic?) : ) hosenemis, we pulled the shutters off around the door and big window already. They were anchored in the mortar. Not a real problem. However, having said all this I am definitely NOT painting the shutters, as was one of my ideas (thanks to suero for helping with this!) and will most likely be leaving them as well. I will focus my attention on landscaping for now. It's funny: having posted this a while ago, I now see my house and I am much happier with it. I also think I'd rather paint the whole whole taupe and keep the red door so for now it won't be perfect but I am quite happy with that! I love this forum and so appreciate all who have chimed in to help me!

Seems like a fair price but certainly make sure the heater works. Also...Check the depth. 7x7 and 300 gallons indicates to me, it might be shallow. Which, if you're tall, might be an issue. Or not. Our tub is 7'7x8 and 550 gallons. We're tall and when I'm seated in my fave spot, the water is right up to my neck. Heaven. Ask them if they'll heat it up. It only takes a few hours. Then give it a try. Did you see if you could find any reviews on that brand and model online? Good luck.

Call the other interested party. That's exactly how I sold my house. I was listed semi-FSBO, a limited MLS listing. I sold it to party #2. They expressed interest earlier, but were dragging their feet, waiting for Spring, I guess. When the first offer came in I called the other party and gave them a heads up. The first buyer tried negotiating me to no end. Party #2 came by again & placed an offer, which I accepted. Both offers were similar, but party #2 gave me better terms & no contingencies & came without an agent ( I saved 3%). Bottom line: I made out much better with party #2, contingecy-wise & money-wise ( no commission).

Though a repeat from another site, this is what I did with a few: An old wooden framed window, a few sheets of glass, clear caulk and a glass cutter are the basic tools you will need. Simply remove the clear glass panes (if present) from the window. These will provide great templates for your colored glass. If there are no existing clear glass panels, a cardboard template will work wonders. If you purchased a multi-pane window, never assume all of the panes are the same size. Simply cut the stained glass to fit into the sections of the window. You would be amazed at how easy it is to cut glass, though I do suggest using a pistol grip cutter and not the typical cutter one can find at any hardware store. You can find easily find someone who has cut glass and will be happy to show you. My husband is actually the one who showed me, and on the second try I had it down pat. Simply cut the panels to fit the windows, use clear caulk to seal them in, and wa-la! Inexpensive first try at working with stained glass. Very simple, basic, easy to do and colorful! You can use all the same colored glass if you wish, or mix them up. I used various colors in one of my first projects, an assortment of various clear colors I had in the glass supply box. I have numerous thin strips of stained glass which I have in mind for another window created with these strips. In stripes. I'll simply cut small pieces of wood to go between the strips of glass. Though I have a few panes left to fill in (waiting for the right colors to show up at the craft store) this gives a basic idea of what I'm talking about. (copyright from another site, but this is my picture) Recently I found old wooden windows with many tiny windows, but have yet to begin that project. We live in the country, so this particular window set did not get the full treatment of sanding the windows, painting them, etc. I was going for the "Trash to treasure" feel. The picture I'm showing was taken in the shade, but you should see the colors when the sun sets on the windows! :-) Here is a link that might be useful:
