    I'm always surprised at how much money ppl are prepared to shell out for a wedding which lasts one day. Far more important to spend that money on your marriage which hopefully lasts a lifetime.

    Paul and Mimi are frustrating to watch. Talk about odd priorities, poor decisions, immature focus on aesthetics rather than function, etc. Barely have money for the build but they go on vacation. Have a black mold and moisture problem but they ignore it... They will regret that poor decision in the future.

      @@AllyCreative I agree. Changing the style of windows could have transformed the house beautifully alongside giving the red brick a good power-wash. Fresh red-brick facade with white thick-framed windows is always a very attractive combination.

    • @dnllmaurer1
      @dnllmaurer1 Před 2 lety

      A natural brick exterior offers timeless classic appeal & compliments any architectural style. Brick endures all types of weather & one of it's benefits is it doesn't need paint. Innitally fresh paint looks nice but the rough surface will attract dirt & mold. Maintaining the look will require pressure washing & repainting. Removing paint is a time consuming, expensive process & a residue usually remains within the textured crevices. To paint or not, is a matter of preference & up to the homeowners to decide. I hope they made an informed choice & not a hasty one. Beyond the painted exterior, the reno transformed the house into a modern showcase with charming traditional features.

    I would have kept the red brick and instead created the character by adding a couple of white thick-framed bay windows on ground level, with matching standard white thick-framed windows on first level. The red brick just needed a thorough pressure-wash. A clean red brick facade with white thick-framed windows is always an attractive and characterful combination. It looks like a badly finished diy job now.
