We are placing an offer on this house, any thoughts about updating the exterior? - Coloradomark 2014-12-19 19:12:47 (471 views)
- Whoa. Where is it? - Pat 2014-12-22 19:57:32 (145 views)
- You use the word "updating" just as bad as is done on HGTV. The shutters and windows with grids - 5speed6 v.3 2014-12-20 12:46:06 (218 views)
- The shutters are awful. They'd cover about 1/3rd of the windows if operable. That drives me nuts. - irish21 2014-12-20 05:03:22 (194 views)
  - Drives me nuts too, but I have never heard of anybody using shutters functionally, EVER - EddieWillers 2015-01-08 00:23:50 (96 views)
    - The functional reasons for a lot of traditional detailing no longer exist. - irish21 2015-01-08 11:27:05 (92 views)
  - I'm with you on the shutters, but it might look bad without them also - Coloradomark 2014-12-20 09:11:00 (146 views)
    - I think it would be fine. There is enough going on that the shutters aren't adding much interest. - irish21 2014-12-20 10:53:02 (213 views)
    - As awful as the shutters are - I'd put that pretty low on the "must do" list. - gription 2014-12-20 10:30:19 (172 views)
      - The flower boxes must go. I have never liked them - Reggie 2014-12-21 19:17:08 (127 views)
      - Depends on the condition of all of that other stuff.  -  irish21  2014-12-20 10:51:56 (167 views)
        
        I think you would put shutter removal before indoor plumbing...  -  gription  2014-12-20 14:02:39 (151 views)
        
        If the plumbing is still functioning, sure, why not?  -  irish21  2014-12-20 14:28:16 (144 views)

        House was built in 1998 it is in good condition   -  Coloradomark  2014-12-20 11:50:40 (227 views)

- I say just embrace the style - it looks nice in a traditional sense and use the money saved - TheLex 2014-12-19 19:43:22 (194 views)
  - I agree, exterior looks fine the way it is. If the little bit of siding shown is wood then - Raistlin 2014-12-20 19:33:58 (140 views)
  - That is good advice, I think we should at least wait until it is time to replace the windows - Coloradomark 2014-12-20 09:37:44 (163 views)
    - If you do the shutters you're probably looking at repainting, as well. - irish21 2014-12-20 10:46:55 (175 views)

  - Hello 1987 - freakness 2014-12-20 00:54:08 (161 views)
    - Which is funny since the house was built in 1998, it takes awhile for style to reach us - Coloradomark 2014-12-20 09:13:00 (184 views)
      - I just installed a new avocado green refrigerator and stove combination. It's slightly more metalli - freakness 2014-12-20 11:29:40 (231 views)
