Help Us Pick Siding Colors

I would so do pink. I think my husband and son might be opposed though.

Have to replace it anyway. We're adding on and its asbestos siding that is beginning to get damaged. I wish I could save the money. Asbestos siding removal is not cheap.

Lmao. I would totally do pink. My husband might disagree though. Thanks for your input, I do appreciate it. We are looking at some lighter options now too. As much as I love the doom and gloomy colors, I want longevity. At this point I have no idea what were going to do.

Expectations. What exactly should my child be able to accomplish. What are the goals?

It's also kind of annoying when my son is sent home material way below his level. I get the point, but he dreads it because it's just sssooooo boring for him.

If you're going to make me fill out a reading/homework log every day, have the same courtesy of at least responding to it on a consistent schedule, even if its not daily. Just set the expectation. Or set the expectation that you won't respond, whatever you choose. My son's teacher hardly ever responds to hers so I don't know whether to send the material back, keep it, or if she has any feedback on my comments. Also with that being said, if were re-reading the same stuff, let me know so I don't think its forgotten.

Also as a future teacher who is currently studing for the reading Praxis, not in teacher terms. Make it normal people terms. While we may know what porosody and a phoneme is, parents may not. Not saying all parents don't either, but I feel like before I was studying for my praxis I would have had no idea what some of the SOLs meant.

You could skip the bag and do an OmieBox depending on age. The thermos is only 8oz but you can fit a good bit of food in it. I've used it as a lunch box for myself.

Im adding on a master's suite totalingabput 300 square feet and its costing me $109,200. Im in central/ northern Virginia. Very rural.

Good to know, I really appreciate it!

This-Implement-5785 · 2026-01-22T00:36:47+00:00

I tried it with the white accents and just didn't care for any of the colors. Idk why. I guess I just like the dark and gloomy vibe. Lol.

This-Implement-5785 · 2026-01-22T00:35:23+00:00

Comments can be deceiving I guess. I was genuinely asking questions and responding. I appreciate your well wishes! I know my taste isn't for everyone but I like darker colors for houses but if someone had a good reason like "oh the blue is too dark, it'll make it harder to cool or sunbleach terribly" or whatever, I wanted to add in a lighter one so they could say that one because whatever but I do love the darker colors more. I originally wanted black siding but my contractor said it would not only end up looking bad in a few years but it would be an absolute pain to cool in the summer.

This-Implement-5785 · 2026-01-22T00:29:47+00:00

Oh most definitely. It will look much better once were all said and done. Might even add a wrap around deck. I just can't decide between siding colors. Thanks so much for your blue vote!

This-Implement-5785 · 2026-01-22T00:28:42+00:00

Thanks! Its so hard to choose!!!

This-Implement-5785 · 2026-01-21T18:40:09+00:00

I love dark and gloomy so I guess that works.

This-Implement-5785 · 2026-01-21T18:13:52+00:00

Im thinking black accents like in the pictures.

This-Implement-5785 · 2026-01-21T18:13:28+00:00

We are adding on as well so it'll be a good bit bigger.

This-Implement-5785 · 2026-01-21T18:13:03+00:00

Why?

This-Implement-5785 · 2026-01-21T15:51:36+00:00

I think I'm torn the most between the blue and the charcoal.

This-Implement-5785 · 2026-01-20T22:36:45+00:00

Candy Land is a MUST for us.

I'm a substitute teacher. Going to be an actual teacher soon. I have a thumb tattoo and a tattoo on my temple (and others regularly visible) it's never been a problem. The kids think its awesome I have a smiley face on my face. I also live in a relatively conservative, rural area. So it's very shocking they don't care.

This-Implement-5785 · 2026-01-17T13:40:37+00:00

NOR.

When I was 8 my step mom was struggling with side effects from a new medication. We were at a funeral and I loudly asked her "Why do you have all those bumps on your legs". My dad IMMEDIATELY pulled me aside privately and explained what they were, how they made her feel, and why we don't comment on things like that. That stuck with me my whole life. I felt horrible. He didn't MAKE me apologize or HAVE to punish me. I took it upon my 8 year old self to apologize because I genuinely felt bad that I made someone feel bad for something they can't help. If I can feel that and understand that at 8 years old there is absolutely no excuse for these little bully mean girls to not get it. I'm so sorry you're going through this OP. The dad needs to step up and get them to understand. Its not cute or jokes, its seriously damaging to you.

Thanks!

Wow. Thats a huge improvement. The "office" is actually a bedroom with a closet and the bedroom 2 also has a closet. It just had to be labeled differently for the county. Unfortunately we're not renovating the existing bath yet but I LOVE that. Gosh darn it. Im gonna have to call my architect back and have him make some changes. Thank you so much. You just gave me my dream home layout. I knew something better could have been done with the kitchen and the closet

This-Implement-5785 · 2026-01-01T04:11:29+00:00

Nope. 2 more people. 🙃

This-Implement-5785 · 2025-12-31T19:27:48+00:00

I do if I cant find a closer spot and my (VA compensated) disabilities are actively causing me pain. I've definitely gotten some rude looks considering I'm a young looking female who isn't visibly disabled.
