HomeAdvisor's CEO is Brandon William Ridenour and his home address is 211 S Cherry St, Denver, CO 80246 and his phone number is (732) 259-8929. Brandon Ridenour's wife's name is Debora Silva Ridenour and her email address is deb_silva007@yahoo.com. Brandon Ridenour and Deb Ridenour also own 730 N Magnolia St, Denver, CO 80220. Their children go to Graland Country Day School located at 55 Clermon St, Denver, CO 80220. The Chairman of IAC and HomeAdvisor is Barry Diller and his home address is 1940 Coldwater Canyon Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90210. All that information was kindly provided by their colleagues. HomeAdvisor are the biggest scammers in US history and need to be shut down. HomeAdvisor are spamming the internet and search engines with hundreds of fake websites to manipulate consumers and manipulate search engine results. Some examples of HomeAdvisor's hundreds of fake websites are home-siding-contractors.com, 1800contractor.com, handymanservice.com, jensonbrothers.com, starsproservices.com, and powellandsons.com. The construction industry and local economies are being ruined by these bombardment of scams, lies, and deceit from HomeAdvisor and it will only get much worse if nothing is done to stop them. Sometimes as much as over three-fourths of the 1st page search results are all HomeAdvisor and HomeAdvisor's fake websites, which makes it extremely unfair for construction businesses and independent contractors. Often all 3 ads on the 1st page search results are homeadvisor.com, jensonbrothers.com, and powellandsons.com, all 3 of which are websites controlled by HomeAdvisor and is blatant gross anticompetitive manipulation. HomeAdvisor are also writing thousands of fake reviews of their competitors and of themselves. HomeAdvisor are also writing thousands of fake positive reviews of themselves on ConsumerAffairs, Google, the App Store, and Google Play. HomeAdvisor is the worst rated company on the BBB in history with over 2,000 bad reviews from the last 3 years and a horrible average 1 star out of 5 stars rating as of the beginning of the year 2020, but starting the summer of 2020 HomeAdvisor has also begun to write hundreds of fake positive reviews of themselves on the BBB and on ResellerRatings to cheat and alter their ratings. HomeAdvisor is by far the most unethical, unfair, dishonest, and malicious corporation in America. HomeAdvisor uses every scam and dirty trick they can think of. Brandon Ridenour, Deb Ridenour, and the rest of the people behind HomeAdvisor need to be at the very least sentenced to life in prison. Angry contractors, let HomeAdvisor's CEO know that HomeAdvisor will not be tolerated.

This Bungalow's got beautiful lines. It would be a crime to remove any of it's historic features, like the brick balusters. To add a pillar in the middle would ruin the flow of the front porch, needlessly close it in and obstruct your view from the inside. That massive span is meant to be there. It feels strong and the mass of the brick feels sturdy - one of the characteristics of a craftsman bungalow. What your house does need is color and some landscaping. The Craftsman style is known by its earth tones - colors from nature. A dark sage body color and a light sage trim with a Cherokee red would be a correct historic look for this house. The main body color should complement the brick, not match it - hence the sage. The Cherokee red gives a nod back to the brick and adds a little punch. A darker architectural shingle would also feel correct. The rectangular details on the top of your pillars are begging for another subtle architectural detail on top of them. This extends the shape and gives these light blocks some meaning. The horizontal band that connects them helps the arch feel a bit less stark and goes a long way in giving your house the interest you're looking for. Shakes on the dormer are a nice-to, not a have-to. But the interest they bring draws the eye up and just adds more architectural detail. Vertical muntins in the windows and a door painted the same color as the window trim help to make this cottage a little more charming and tailored. Taking the storm door off sure would look nice. It does look like it's sheltered enough to do so. Part of the reason that it feels like there is too much brick, is that there is very little landscaping...well, what you've got is a start, anyway. Typical Craftsman landscaping is not too fussy. It's usually hardier plants and bushes that add texture and color. Just flowers might feel a little light and a little sparse in front of so much brick. Different heights will make it more interesting, with the taller plants on the corners to frame the whole vignette. P.S. Reading through some of these suggestions almost makes my heart break. I've seen too many of these bungalows ruined by shortsighted people who try to match these great houses to the latest fads by taking out the very things that make them charming (like the brick railing...I can assure you, it's original and integral to the design). I had the privilege own a 1914 bungalow for 10 years and to nurse it back to health. When we sold it, I was impressed with the fact that we are only caretakers of the houses we own for a relatively short period, and then we pass them to the next caretaker. This makes me want to enhance only if it's sensitive to the original intent and character. Here's what it could look like...

First of all, storm doors do cut down on heating and cooling costs, and they can be a safety feature as you can keep a storm door locked and then open the inside door just slightly to see who is at your door and then close and lock it quickly if need be. It is possible to get a storm door that looks formal enough for the front door. That being said, I would suggest you paint the brick and all the trim of the house white. This will go a long way in brightening up the grey-beige of what appears to be limestone. When the time comes to replace the roof, I would suggest you choose a white or off-white metal roof to add brightness to the exterior color scheme. If you do not care for these neutrals, then add a metal roof in a light blue or light green that harmonizes with the limestone shades. Then, I would suggest you add shutters in the same color as the roof. White-painted window boxes that hold colorful flowers will enhance the appearance of the home too.

Love Bird of Paradise, too. Wish I knew about glass mulch before. I ck.d it out and it is beautiful. " such things as blue sky, enclosed swimming pools and dolphins are like unicorns here" sooo funny. Crotons are so pretty. Thanks to all for the great ideas. Now just have to decide but now have a direction thanks to Ya'all.....

You have to contend with the overhang which prevents rainwater getting to the earth. I would like to see some variety in height. I would look at some tall and smaller ornamental grasses so add visual interest. Particularly in the corner some vertical lines need to be added. can be you base for all year round going from light green to darker green to a lovely straw colour in the winterYou could add contrasting colours such as black potato vine and ophiopogon I would suggst you add perennials in pots and swap them out seasonally to add colour such as purple coneflower and black eyed susans...

Hi Pat, I haven’t traded since Houzz took over, since I’ve been having a hard time navigating the website😕. Couldn’t find a way to reply to your comment. I’ll create new lists over the winter. Are you looking for anything specific?

I've switched to being mostly on National Gardening Association website. If you're not there, you should be and you can start adding in your plant list of plants you have and want. You can also create subcategories called whatever you want them to be (Like Trade List - Have, Trade List - Want) and have the applicable plants show up in that list also. Let me know if you have trouble navigating there. Meanwhile, here's my plant list there and look at the categories I have set up to more easily see my trade wants and haves.

Only problem is, people hardly ever seem to be trading there. I miss the good old days.

Thanks! I’ll check it out since I’ve been looking for an easier site. Yes! I miss the good ole days too! I did a ton of trading on the Garden Forum ”before”. My garden is mostly grown from seeds from the old days and all of my beautiful Miscanthus grasses & cannas (lost all 75+ to my new houses frozen garage😕) are from old days trades❤️

You're going to not like hearing this perhaps but you're better off without the miscanthus. It's a non-native invasive species. I mistakenly planted two plants decades ago, kept chopping pieces out as I saw how it overtook the border then really wanted to toss it. My husband and I fought many many times about my wanting to toss things and he replanted those all along a fenceline.

Fast forward to maybe 15 years later (and just one-two months ago) and he finally realized these had to go. With some "volunteer" labor from Craig's List ad (dig it for free - with a warning) and with his little backhoe and hour after hour of backbreaking work we got rid of most of them. A few are still embedded in the fence line.

Now, there's the "not right in the head" neighbor on the other side who lets every junk tree/grass seedling grow up - because it's green. So I have to contend with huge clumps trying to grow through the fence on that side ... all because my (stupid!) plants put seedlings into his yard too.

Sorry about the cannas, however. Those are nice plants :-).

Wow what a job! I have miscanthus sinensis zebrinus and an unnamed same size variety planted in an island bed for 8 years. They never spread at all.
