The Rest of the Exterior Paint

As promised, here are the results from painting the other two sides of the house.

Yes, the color does change from blue to green to gray depending on the lighting - both strength and angle.

These two sides of the house were challenging because the kitchen windows are original and everything was painted brown. She did a fabulous job of painting around the panes.

I am looking at 3 different colors for the front door:

Benjamin Moore AF-505 (Blue Echo)

Benjamin Moore 2136-40 (Aegean Teal)

Magnolia Home MAG011 (Sir Drake)

Yes, this post was started yesterday, but after 3 different errors when trying to upload the pictures, I gave up.

I'll anxiously await your photo showing how your "new front door" looks with your new color scheme. I saw that Benjamin Moore had over 400 hues in their blue palette and then noticed that Sir Drake is not Benjamin Moore.

Don't hold your breath or wait up at night waiting for that front door picture. That may not happen until next year at the rate I'm changing my mind between them LOL

OK, I'll try to keep breathing ; )

Hi Bogie, Ole Phat Stu here.
Our houses in Germany are different from your bungalow.
In your top photo, there apper to be 5 or so open pipes coming out of the wall.
What are these?

[bogie]

Hi Stu. I have two pellet stoves and a high efficiency, direct vent combi-boiler. So:

The open pipe between the two top windows is my main floor pellet stove exhaust. You cannot see that it has an Outside Air intake in that same plate at about 5 o'clock. Those pipes openings are currently sealed off (you can see the exhaust end sitting on the ground below and will be installed when I remove the cap).

The open pipes beneath the bay window (basement level) are the exhaust (left) and Outside Air intake (right) for that pellet stove. Again, those are currently sealed off and the exhaust end is below.

The white pipes near the corner are the exhaust (left) and air intake (right) pipes for the combi-boiler. Those are open since the appliance provides my domestic hot water.

This house was built in 1960 so is not reflective of current houses.

Not to knock the house, but I'm thinking it is not even reflective of 1960 practices. OTOH: Although Vesta, built in the 1950s, differs widely from your house, it could be more reflective of the area of the country in which it sits than the time at which it was built.

[bogie]

I'm unsure as to what you mean by "not reflective on 1960 practice".

I'm not taking offense (not like this is a castle or high end house - LOL) I just don't know to what you are referring to.
