Curb appeal and Heating plus A/C gates
The home across the street is nuts about curb appeal.
I have tried to keep up although I can’t compete with that level.
I got our home painted and changed the surround from yellow and brown to grey and white. I also disconnectd tons of bushes, trees and raked our perimeter. I even planted some flower beds and stained the wood front porch. I feel I look pretty neat and tidy. The home across the street is so much better. They did everything I did and more. They have a lawn repair come in once a week to maintain their grass and gardens. They have elaborate flower beds, hanging pots and seasonal decorations sited by professionals. They also invested in a gorgeous white gate that surrounds the property. They even sprung for a brick driveway while I am stuck with sand. They even went one step further and put a little white gate around their outdoor Heating plus A/C component. That small detail does make a difference. Now everything looks neat, organized and tidy. I have contemplated getting our own surround for our Heating plus A/C equipment. What has stopped me is cost and functionality. Wouldn’t it be harder for the Heating plus A/C specialist to perform repairs? I also think in the grand rue of things, hiding the Heating plus A/C doesn’t seem appreciate a necessary expense. The people I was with and I have heating and ac. What does it matter if the road sees it? I am still a bit jealous of their little gate though. I am jealous of their whole front yard. I bet the backyard is even better.
