More pictures would make this post more interesting
Yes, Elizabeth I agree and I am trying to get more. Thanks for your patience.
Is that corrugated metal?
Yes, he decided to give it a modern look and went with that for siding. I will verify it with him to be sure it is not something else, but that is what I seem to remember him saying.
Bill says he will send me more pictures tonight. As soon as I get the photos I will upload and update the post. Stay tuned!
Is this trailer still available?
Thanks
Yes, it is as far as I know. I’ll double check with Bill or you can give him a call.
Ask the contractor to tell you how many labor hours he is estimating for your
house. Because these colors represent happiness, joy, exuberance, and life.
The trim around doors, windows and baseboards along with the kitchen and bathroom tend
to be painted with either a semi-gloss or gloss finish paint because these areas require more regular washing.
