I'm convinced you aren't going to say... you're all too polite to say which ones you don't like...

and too shy... :?: to say which you do like...

so, I'm erasing...

Is this some kind of secret Al Quaida code ???

[Roadhog]

Something just doesn't feel right :?
I wonder if it is more like a PBS code for
Underground Resistance Infiltrators here
to put their propaganda agenda in motion ..."Midterm Election Indecision 2006."

... :? or..she is into Recycling. Wasn't this Wot's Idea?

P.B.S.There are no "shy or too polite" Trucker's.
That is squib hogwash......
The Hog knows.

Ah.... no.

I posted a link to pictures of my deck and the wall behind it with different shutters on the window. (I cut out pictures of shutters and then put them on the picture of the wall.)

I can look at the statistics for the different pages of my site, and I saw that people were looking at the topic, but not at the page, so I decided that I should remove the link...

Plus, at first I was soooo eager to see which one people liked the looks of the most that I kept checking the topic... rather than waiting for a notification... So once I deleted the link I could relax because I knew I wasn't missing anything.

On the other hand, I really would like to know how these look to other people.

Hi

Okay, I've got to tell you this... See, I love your cartoons.

But I didn't see the bottom one, the contemplating one, until after I used the quote function and saw that you had an image. I couldn't remember seeing the image so I went back and looked to see if it really showed, and it did.

This is a good example of how brain damage, slowing of the processing speed and reduction of the working memory work.. I don't see things the way I used to. Things are in front of my eyes and I don't "see" them in terms of the image having meaning in my mind.

What's important about that is that stress can lead to low B12 and once B12 is low there is gradual nerve damage... to include cognitive dysfunction. It's very slow though. So it's easy to sort of attribute it to something normal and of no harm. But really, once it has been getting worse over several years, it changes ones life. A richness that was there when more was able to be seen, is gone. So I really want you all to check your fingernails for any signs of low B12. It may seem ridiculous, but if you take B12 (Methylcobalamin) if you have symptoms of low B12, you will so dramatically improve the years of your life to come that... that it will almost be like adding youth to those years.



Now, what was I going to say before I noticed the [img]????

I've never been afraid of B's.

As to your remodeling inwhich you ask us to, shudder to think........
I like the first example...Blue Green.
Your deck boards will fade to silver/gray like the old ones and you'll want to brighten things up from that base color.
With the Blue Green color...you can leave the post as it is, but I'd recommend painting it with the same shudder color.

I can only go by the narrow view I see...I don't know the scheme of the rest of the house or area. (roof, gutters, trim, flower boxes, doors, etc.)

It would have been nice to see a trimboard dressing the bottom under the deck boards, and then you could forget placing plants to trim that. Be allot less maintenance. I know as I grow older...I seek less yard work.

Another simple thought. I always place varmit screening to prevent critters from taking up residence under the deck. May God be with you, if a Skunk favors this lovely new CritterCondo.

This is all still a passion of mine. I was a Residential Builder for 28 years.

[Rev.Vassago]

Sage Green or Dusty Darker Green.


Definately not the Blue Green.

Nice deck, BTW - is that Cedar?

And I would lose that blue post - paint it a neutral color.

[Roadhog]

Hey Rev.... :lol:



BBllaaaPPPPBBBLLLFFFFTTTTtttttGAKslobber

..at least we agree on the Green. :? :lol:

[wot i life]

I See in black and white...... :lol: :lol:

Wow, I just read that you were a builder!!!!! I should have asked you along the way. I just could not work some things out. (like how long it should take to do things...)

I hired 5 different fellows to do the work ... one took 45 minutes to find screws at Lowe's ... and was fixated with them and wouldn't move on...

Another took three days to remove half of the old deck and sweep and put down 7 boards. I paid him $476 for that, and then the 7 boards had to be taken back up... he didn't put any of the foundation work in further along.

Then I hired a man who sounded great. He was $60 an hour for him and his illegal helper...

But he didn't drive the screws in far enough, so after the deck was sanded and it rained there were these black marks all over...



When I look at the finished deck, or getting closer to finished deck, I see how neat it looks and I'm glad I stuck with it.
