Fortunately I like saleable color schemes for the interior!<br /><br />My dad thinks I should leave the fence like it is too. But like my husband said, "We have a fence out front?" It's pretty invisible against the mostly-brown Nevada landscape.Funderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358687366401205336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-83756144089988873272012-01-11T15:19:23.853-08:002012-01-11T15:19:23.853-08:00I agree with everyone else about leaving the stall...I agree with everyone else about leaving the stalls as is. You never know what kind of critters--or needs--the next owner will have. I kind of like the funky little fence as is (OK, I'm weird--I like things rustic). I would hate it white. But then, I don't like white fences under any circumstances (for a multitude of reasons). Again, my opinion should be disregarded, though--I seem to be drawn to small and humble houses with a "charming shack" quality--and I bet most buyers don't think like that.Laura Crumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15200878892304748308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-48736916625564565992012-01-11T13:52:44.164-08:002012-01-11T13:52:44.164-08:00I like the small stalls too!

That way it'll look like three stalls, ready for move-in.<br /><br />As for the front fence, I actually like it the natural color but I can't tell how much blue paint is visible. If it MUST be painted, I'd go with a green. Is there any green on the house? If so I'd match that, or go with a subtle green. Anything too bright is going to stand out awkwardly against the browns of the ground.jenjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01737679332792618499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-69305595437776753222012-01-10T20:52:12.842-08:002012-01-10T20:52:12.842-08:00Glad yall agree about the small stalls!

When I was on acreage, the old barn had all the stalls ripped out except one. First thing I had to do was build new ones to accomodate two different species of barn residents. <br /><br />As for the fence, I would tend to paint/stain it a natural wood colour - like cedar.

I'm afraid it would look out of place. Yall like the trim color, huh? You don't think it'll be invisible against that dark green juniper shrub thing? <br /><br />I reused a couple of the other 4x12s as erosion control steps. (Wind erosion, obviously!) But now I am trying to be ruthless. I'm not hauling nasty bug-egg-covered lumber to a rental house in California, so away it goes! <br /><br />Anything that's untreated and not TOO full of nails is getting miter saw'd into fireplace lengths and burned. There's still an awful lot of plywood and questionable wood that has to go to the dump though. At $23 a pickup load, OUCH.Funderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358687366401205336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8773599297895528113.post-71916592246241571482012-01-10T17:22:59.205-08:002012-01-10T17:22:59.205-08:00I agree with Bill...Leave the shed as is (but tidy...I agree with Bill...Leave the shed as is (but tidy as you can) and let the new owners choose (and do the work, if they so choose).
