Painting the Exterior Brick

This update will depict how I made the very dated brick on the front of the house look modern. The only real option here was to paint it.

Step one was to determine which color I wanted to go with. I had done this back when I had gutters put on the house. I looked through the sample colors available for the gutters (which I got from the gutter contractor), and picked what looked the most appealing at the time.

Block Retaining Walls

I started with a real mess. It's hard to tell from the picture, but the original wall had separated from the house. It was cracked up, and had sagged.

The concrete that ran up to the wall had sunk several times in its history. At some point someone had repoured concrete over the original stuff, in an effort to raise it back up.
