last pic .... is that a duplicate to the left?? ... is it infested also ... if not ... then just get rid of the duplicate .. and move on with your baby life ... check all your plants .. isolate those with problems ... if it were summer... i would suggest you put them outside for summer ... in full bright shade ... and treat them with a systemic remedy ... at least a month prior to bringing them back in the house for next winter .... though scale can be controlled mechanically ... by hand i mean ... they are one thing i go all out war on ... as im not real interested in playing with them repeatedly over the next 6 months to year ... outdoors is where i prefer to use chemicals ... good luck with the babe ... ken

oh that brick needs to be painted,,,badly. lol. I'm with you on that one. hard to really see the roof color. you want to stay away from cooler, blue grays and go w/grays in the brown/black family. I like Urbane Bronze or Black Fox for the darker tones. What's on there currently looks black. I think you could go w/a slightly lighter tone on your trim. it's very overpowering because of the bulkiness of it overall. I'd also do some pruning of all those shrubs and pine tree BTW, you can use this color snap yourself to visualize. any of these combos could work. black fox w/Respose,,maybe a creamy white These grays are more in the taupe family. just depends on your roof color. you'll have to get samples. This might look nice too. the two on the right. As for you brick, use Romabio Masonry. 20 yrs guarantee with very little maintenance. you can have it tinted to any color

Thank you for the advise tj. This is the first time I posted anything, do you know how I can add insect forum?

Lucky you. I'd clamp a Festool fence to the top and rip it apart dust-free, then tint the Glaxs adhesive to match and pull it back together. Tell him that's what you want done or you've got a guy that will do it for 3K. You're not an hour away.
