well looks like i need help loading the photos... anybody?

melah, you need to use the "html" link to add photos here. I'd love to see them and help if I can.

melah, are the photos on your computer still? If so, you need to upload them to a photo hosting web site to share them. Photobucket is popular here, but search around for some others.

HI!

I'm NO techie -- but hope these hints might help!

1)Create a free account and album at Photobucket and upload your photos.

2)Then simply move your cursor over each of the uploaded photos -- and four codes will appear.

3)Click on the HTML code -- and COPY on your system.

4)Then open a message here at GWHD -- and PASTE your photo into the body of the message.

5)Add details around each photo - budget? timeline? Garden Zone? (check for your Garden Zone online on the Web) -- always helps us to help you!

Your house sounds similar in exterior to mine except mine is a split entry. I have brown T-1-11 top and multi-colored brick bottom. We're going to paint the T-1-11 (yes.. I like it. lol) and leave the brick as is, and do something with the trim boards.. what that is, I have no idea. Our house is in the country, so I want to keep the more rustic looking exterior.

You need to upload your pictures to photobucket to post them here. :)

Or tinypics.com easy to use

Melissa, I've attached some pretty thorough instructions for uploading to Photobucket and posting online.

I would stain the wood as close to the brick as possible. You have a beautiful home.
