South side Hell Strip
9 years ago
This is the south side of our house. Summertime gets very hot on this side. We need some budget friendly ideas to spruce up this wall and maybe reduce heat in the summer. We don't have the budget for a covered pergola type thing, but is there something we could do to add visual interest and still keep open the sidewalk?
