If you have enough of a space on the outside of the building after you paint it, you should consider a mural of Honeybell and Ruby. It would be an Instagram wall that people would flock to to take photos in front of. More people, more customers.

That was a great idea, even if I don´t use Instagram. And paint the rest in Turquoise.

Within a few months white would be showing dirt, mold, etc. I'd go with a slightly darker color. Paint causes certain types of bricks to start coming apart over time by trapping moisture within the bricks.

Careful painting glass I know it's hard to believe but glass expands and contracts if you paint the whole window it will shatter I learned this the hard way when I painted a sign for Odd Lots a retail store here in Ohio and the glass shattered the window company told them about this and luckily they didn't hold me responsible !!

I'm a Monopoly collector (currently 1254 different versions of Monopoly at home), and know a lot about Monopoly board games. This is almost an original version. This is a copy of the original Waddingtons game. This was created for the Hong Kong market, as Hong Kong used to belong to England. Parker is the manufacturer for the rest of the market. Then there are winning movers. So only the games from before 1950 with a complete print bring around 200 dollars. The game was available in England in 2018 for 40 dollars.

Put that monopoly set on auction I guarantee you it will pull more than $150
@Jjudes96652 жыл бұрын
This Monopoly set may not be as valuable and rare as you think it is. I’ve seen a fair few of these online, at auctions, car boot sales and in second hand shops here in the uk. The rarer sets are the ones that were printed and sold in small numbers with ‘Patent applied For’ which were pre-patented publication by the Parker Brothers until 1937. The better condition of the box, game, all the money and gaming pieces, the higher the value. I do own one of these sets which is near perfect condition apart from very slight damage to one corner of the box. It has been in my family’s possession since it was purchased from a store in Beckenham South London in 1934. Over the years some ‘collectable’ versions of Monopoly have become highly sought after. There are now staggeringly hundreds of different editions sold worldwide in approximately 105 countries in around 40 languages. Somewhere in the region of over 300 million games have been sold across the globe. Not bad for a game that was originally created by a woman (Lizzie Maggie Phillips) games designer in 1903 to help teach and demonstrate the monetary values in property ownership, rental, financial economy and taxation.💷👞🎩

Yes Pete antique white with black columns black around the windows and the window frames in Black to help draw heat in the winter but you might regret painting the front and I suggest just cleaning the front with a muriatic acid it will bring it back to life and if the joints where the border is don't look too good after cleaning you can paint the joints only a color of your choice probably black or white or you can really seal it a lot better with a concrete caulk which usually only comes in Gray and I know you will keep us posted

White or cream is a bad idea as it shows dirt and grime. Go with a nice subtle green color. Behr makes a color called "Nature's Gift" that is perfect for exteriors and people will think "money and prosperity". Check it out. They also make a creamy color called "twinkling lights" that would be perfect for the trim or you could do it the other way around if you're set on a light color.

Check out videos on fluorescent spray paint graffiti. It's beautiful stuff and it really pops out to the eye.
