    My guess would be stack and rubble stone with stucco on the upper parts/arch. After about 5-10 years sometimes those stones fall off and it would kill ya to be under them if it does. The sides of the house not so much a issue with that. I priced some columns like that not long ago. Small...

    Well done.Slap some shutters on those windows and call it done. I like the solid garage door choice and landscaping changes as well. With the patio furniture in front you must live in the south. Northerners would never sit out front due to fear of godzilla or being gunned down.

    The Last Ship

    I don't think it is cheesy at all. It is really better than 90% of the shit series out there imo. On the other hand I watched Falling Skies after it and I couldn't tell you a thing about it, I kept wandering off to do other things.

    Ya I don't do lawn care( other than mowing and planting shit ), but I did what Eya said above few years back. They came and sprayed the yard with some magic stuff and the weeds vanished and grass grew like crazy and by the next year I had a good lawn. Every time I tried to do it in the past I...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    I knew people in World of Tanks back when I played that regular a year ago who maxed out credit cards for this game. I don't get it either. I have nothing invested in this game and to be honest the prices drives me away from pledging anything to it until it is semi released. I do hope it...

    Ya if he has the time, the materials for a quality shed will be about the same as a package unit that is much less solid/well built. No way getting around it costing $1000+. The wood shed units come delivered in a pallet you assemble but most do not include shinges, flooring just panels you...

    Part of the aspect is extra strength, endurance and mobility but the other aspect is ability to carry heavy weapons which combined with various types of rounds would make any armor negate the benefit of said suit. In other words, the armor would have to be so thick/capable due to the increased...

    Ya plywood would give you the smoothest drywall, or you can go with 5/8s over the nail strips pictured as it is more rigid than the 1/2. Would have to still be somewhat consistent for that though so you may have to shim or tapcon places to get it not as wavy. Oneofone chances are if it isn't...

    Yup. I would just paint a few of those rooms honestly. I've looked at 2 houses in the past 10 days where people were buying it and wanted me to tear out carpet, put in laminate and prefinished hardwood prior to them moving in with some painting. So the flooring is a toss up, what you put back...

    Well if you read my second post you'll see why I said it was too much brown for selling but not for living. Personally I have almost that exact same green in my kitchen and love it, but I wouldn't try to SELL it that way. It wouldn't take much cost( especially since you can paint obviously )...

    Exactly, which is why I suggested he keep it but tone it to the walls in a modern color( like a light grey ). The thing about his house is the design was ahead of it's time for 80's. Lots of large windows, open feel to it. Now it just needs modern more futuristic colors. He has the space, the...

    Popcorn texture comes in 2 kinds of jobs. One being you look at it and it will come off, mud out the seams/nail holes some, sand, paint. The other being where it was done right, which is actually rare. This is where it was primed good prior and had ceiling paint mixed into the mixture when...

    That is a bit confusing, Usually stools are 1 to 1 1/8 thick. I've seen people make them out of 1x4 ripped down sanded round edges though. That extra height shouldn't matter is why I am confused. Grab me a closeup of the window if you can.
