Please help! Not sure how to pick exterior paint to accent brick
Comments (10)I think a mid-tone greenish grey or other color taken from the brick would be great. Whatever you choose, paint your garage door the same color. If you use a light color for the trim, paint the downspouts to match the brick. If you use a darker color for the trim, you can use that same color on the downspouts. I would paint the front door a light color, so you have some contrast to the dark brick, and since it is recessed into the alcove....See MoreHow do I make sure my aloe Vera plant grows?
Comments (23)Hey! I replied yesterday but apparently my post disappeared. Let me try again... Two things: Let it be & have patience. Regarding the leaf, not much to be done about that. It formed that way based on what ever other plants where in its way when it was first developing. It won’t ever be straight but it is helping your plant so just leave it be. New leaves either from the center or offsets or both will form and that older leaf will eventually dry up. As far as watering, you’re dealing with a rooted transplant and not a cutting. If this new location has the same soil as the original location where this plant was moved from then I don’t think you have anything to worry about with your watering. Just water this one the same way as you water the others....See MoreBrick Fireplace Remodel Problem - Not sure what is stuck to brick

The fireplace is originally to the house and the house was built in 1948. I don’t know when the fireplace was tiled over, but based on it being ugly brown tiles, I feel like it was decades ago (see below). If there’s a way to determine if it’s just paint I’d love to know....See MoreHow tall should I make my brick planter?
Comments (2)@houssaon there probably was a planter wall here when the house was originally built in the 50s. It’s been a slope of dirt for quite some time. If anything, we won’t be bringing the planter and the dirt inside up to the existing stucco and we’ll have to add more stucco at the bottom....See Morejrb451
