[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]My dad, who was from Italy, was a stonemason and bricklayer. He's rolling over in his grave now.

You don't paint brick.

DC is not Italy. And in DC, we do.[/quote]

And I guess you speak for all of DC.  ??  I'm sure there is someone in Italy who has painted their brick as well.[/quote]

I didn't say EVERYONE does it in DC.  My point simply is that it is done.

And no, it is not a trend.  Most brick rowhouses all over the city, including Georgetown, have been painted for decades.  Same as in Annapolis.

You guys can call it tacky all you want, but I love my painted rowhouse.  I think it's certainly a lot nicer than the faux brick front exteriors you see all over the country or vinyl siding.

Let's see what your house looks like.[/quote]

most houses built after 1920 aren't built with brick including your precious rowhouse. The brick is just veneer.[/quote]

You clearly know nothing about DC row houses.

My rowhouse was built in 1905. Most houses in DC are this old or older. Thanks. And it's definitely not brick veneer. I've gutted it, including repointing and replacing plaster on 2 of the interior walls.

Plaster is terrible and your rvalue is very bad. You also will have a musty basement.[/quote]
