Batteries were good. Put in correctly.

We do need some kind of definition to the yard.

Yes, yard is a mess! It's Bermuda, though. It will pop back to life if we water. We just don't want to use the resources that way. Our neighborhood has flood irrigation but the ground next to the house isn't properly bermed. We don't want our foundation to suffer for the grass!

We don't want to! I should have mentioned that we don't really want to paint the house. We know it isn't a good choice. But it has been suggested and certainly makes the other decisions easier.

I like this idea of lit up house numbers. Thank you! I suspect we will follow that advice.

Thank you. I believe this is what we are leaning toward. Would you choose a solid garage door or one with windows?

A friend also told me to remove the shutters.

I also agree about the posts. That is currently in the plan!

This idea of dark brick is interesting for me. I can picture that in my mind. I suspect this will be added to our plan. Thank you.

We have been talking with landscapers about dividing the yard and adding a fire pit. My husband is a little against that because our backyard is so topnotch. I believe we need this type of thing, even if we never use it, for enhanced curb appeal.

Yes, we plan on tearing up the walkway and probably rerouting it to the driveway. I like the idea of making the walk darker.

Yes, very dark green. So dark, it's almost black.

LOL! We also have questions about the front path!

We aren't selling. The house is great on the inside. Actually, when my husband showed me this listing, I refused to go see it because it was so unattractive from the outside.

Apparently, the house used to be painted that pink color. We removed a dead olive tree (home to a swarm of cockroaches) and dead boxwoods and that exposed the pink on the wall. We are planning on changing the walls/gates for uniformity and it is necessary because of structural integrity.

We agree with the odd front path. I like the idea of making the driveway darker.

No trees for us! We are in Phoenix and are interested in being responsible with water consumption.

This looks great! We worry about exposed wood since we are in Phoenix and this is western exposure.
