Ok I'll get a darker brown and redo, and go over some of the original green again. Too much gray....

I never thought it would be so hard to pick colors.  Here is yesterdays work. I replaced the tan with a browner color. It blends in ok but still too much gray I think. May have to bring out some of the green?

Go behind the house and take a pic looking away from it and then paint in the pic on the front.

Starting to look real good.  That is a good color brown.

Yesterday I redid some of the green palm fronds. It is hard to see in a pix. House disappears in the evening. Looks like a black hole! :) :)

Nope, I get some good stares though. A older Lady [80's] down the street stopped yesterday and said "I know what you are doing your making that house disappear so you don't have to look at it anymore right?"

Smart Lady.

Hopefully my Son and I are going to jet a well in soon for the garden.

Looking good. I see some need to break up the green solid line of the facia, maybe with some vertical colors. And if some of the background trees could be dropped onto the house front as dark "trunks" they would make it blend with the skyline.

But just a wild thought.   Something like:

I've watched a few of Bob's lessons.

He makes it look easy, but the brush just doesn't do that for me  :-\ :-\

Ya know what I'd do for added camo?   Get some spray adhesive and a leaf blower.  Spray a wall, then blow the yard in that direction

I'm glad a stumbled on this thread.

Bill you would be fun to have as a neighbor.
But it doesn't sound like your neighbor's would be fun to have as neighbors.

I Thought of some good books for you. Check out Tim Dorsey, especially Triggerfish Twist. Might have been written about some of your neighbors! Takes place in Tampa.

It's pretty much done the last pix is where it stands now. I may dab a bit on it with another shade of brown then some black lines but truthfully I have lost interest now that it has disappeared from my view.
City hasn't said anything maybe because they can't see it anymore. ;D ;D
