Need to replace windows on mcm coastal ranch
Comments (15)Does laminated glass look different to the naked eye? Is it equally energy effient etc? Any difference other than cost? What R rating do you recommend for a climate mild in winter, hot hot in summer? I am pushed to make this change because the windows are not tight at all and lose too much AC in summer impossible to cool properly on 95+ degree days. Thanks for letting me pick your brain on all this....See More50's ranch needs new front entrance.
Comments (8)It looks from the close-up of the windows that there is still a painted element and that is the part that could still be painted a soft gray so it doesn't look quite so stark - like it's been primed and is waiting for its final coat. Since you are going to have to remove the paneling around the front door anyway, you'll be able to find out if there is brick behind there. If there is and it is in reasonable shape, spend your efforts rehabilitating it, because the paneling is a little. . . . odd. What was the overall vision when selecting the colour of the garage siding? The colour certainly works with red brick, however, it would be more unifying if this colour was repeated. The shutters would be one possible place to re-use the colour. If it turns out there isn't brick on the returns around your front door, this would be another potential area to repeat the garage siding colour. Without knowing anything about your budget for the project and other plans you may have, it is difficult to be more specific....See MoreMCM Ranch paint choices
Comments (17)I love MCM houses I have one built in 1956 hunted high and low for one. Those whatever they are on the windows on the right need to go the planter on the left is very MCM and I would just plant lower growing stuff there . The white needs to be a much darker color for sure but the big thing is the landscaping . If you google MCM landscaping you will find tons of inspiration , BTW those homes were so well built you never get that in a new build .If possibel those window grids need to go and really cool MCM front door would be nice....See MoreNeed ideas for porch on MCM ranch
Comments (10)I am not a pro and agree you should ask the concrete guy; however, I'd guess that the post should sit on/above the concrete. If the post is set in, in any way, that could increase risk of post rot and make the challenge of replacing posts more difficult. And agree, the pad should be full width for most handsome appearance....See MoreDH
