"Stealth Haus" has a fresh coat of paint and is, officially, less stealthy.She now sports a putty colored body, black trim, white edges and juicy Bordeaux colored doors, making her, rather improbably, the best-looking house on the block.
These pix were taken on a very grey, gloomy (OK, typical New Haven weather) day.
The house still needs some Indian corn hung an the front door and a new fence, and some plants, but is, non-the-less, a thousand times better!
While I cropped our neighbor's well-meaning, but violent heliotrope paint job from the first photo, you can catch a glimpse of it here, to the left.
It glows, unnaturally, into our kitchen windows. However, they are very nice neighbors, so we forgive them their horrible taste in house-coloring, as well as the collapsing brick shed they are letting decay next to our fence. This later, we are positive, will disappear into a pile of rubble of it's own accord, any day now, and rather hopefully, they accosted our house painter Chuck, the other day, to get an estimate to re-do their house...
I have volunteered my services for color selection, and am quietly optimistic-
no one could choose anything that awful TWICE,
could they?
