Recently, a fad in my almost 40 year old neighborhood has surfaced.
Painting exterior brick.
Then, I took a ride down to a different area where they are building McMansions, and found brand spanin' new houses are being built with brick that is immediately painted.
What? Why? I must be old. I bought a brick house to AVOID constant maintenance.
So is the new fad to encourage expensive and difficult maintenance? I must really be out of the loop on this. I'm just baffled.
Is this trend occurring elsewhere in N. America?
