It doesn't LOOK like your tree is in any immediate danger of expiring, but symptoms made manifest by ongoing limitations commonly lag the cause by weeks to months. These photos are from Fall of 2015.įor the most part, plants decline and die in situations where the amount of food/energy they're able to create (with the help of the sun) is less than they are expending to drive their metabolic processes. My next moves on the exterior will be to change the ground stone, and add a garden to the left of the right column with some evergreens, hydrangea for summer, and some annuals. We also added top and bottom molding to the columns. We also took away the original 2 round columns, only one of which was a supporting beam, and we squared them off, added some extra lighting, we also hide the old gutters behind the white drop down from the roof. The new entry door brings a ton of light into the inside entry way, and we also added 2 light tunnels inside that room. Added a dark grey garage door, and a dark grey stone wall to balance out all that one sided-ness of the house and hide the electrical box. So above is the old facade with asphalt roof, white garage door, white front door, and the long expanse of white with the stupid electrical box dead center of the white wall.So we added a dark grey tile roof, a skylight over the outside entryway to pull more light because it is the north side of the house. I am very pleased that I had a 3rd architect that was great we worked well together. Wow just found this thread and see I never updated with a photo of the new exterior. (And that applies whether the brick part was built on or not.) It's not a medium-sized house with build-ons, it's an expansive house and it should look like that. But whatever you do, please marry the centre of the house with its extensions.

Maybe someone with more sophisticated software than mine could give it a shot. I wish I could do a rendering of your house with shingles, but I've tried and it just looks phoney.

Good thing, bad thing, that would be for you to decide. I don't know enough about American architectural styles to comment but it seems to me that although they may look attractive, they would change the feel of the house from "country grand" (I've noted that someone disagrees with me about that) to "comfortable country".

You probably gathered I love your house pretty well as it is. And don't remove the tree on the right, it's beautiful. If you pull everything out to replant, it will take a good decade to get anything this precious by way of mature growth. They do need tidying, by a very skilled and sympathetic hand - to the level where your porch is opened up, and the sides more or less match that. When people sweat planting, that is often what they dream of. I very much agree with Pgeis - don't hack back at the plants. Here is a link that might be useful: link before you have to pay hundreds to have it done professionally. Īll this can be summed up by looking in the dictionary. wherein there are about 20 near mini conifers. you need to get rid of all your conifers. where they have a 10 acre arbīased on your list. this is where you can get just about anything you want. make a pilgrimage to hidden lakes just west of tecumseh. to get away with stuff peeps north of us cant grow. where we get away with a lot of stuff peeps south of OH.
