Personally, I'd go with the Colonial as it will definitely "age" better than flat moulding.

A 6" colonial trim will have a much larger flat space, so do not think it would look very "busy" at all. Flat moulding may look pretty boring but without knowing what the trim looks like around the shutters, I think the colonial 6" is the best choice.

Exactly. Never did we ever fertilize the lawn when I was growing up. Push mower through THICK st Aug on a summer day and water from the hose pipe.

Mandeville for public schools, and some are better than others. So, name your price for house and will give more specific details on where to live.

Agreed, after getting the shot for prevention, still getting covid and dad's health improving, we said screw getting multiple boosters later on. But in the moment and at multiple doctor's prompting, it was a mitigating risks decision when he was at his worst.

Lol.you got the clot shot.
Well, it wasn't a choice I made without much reflection, but my brother and I were balancing work life and health care for our 92 year old father who was battling some heart issues at home and in the hospital. He was on hospice and required around the clock care. We decided to not risk the unknown and since we weren't able to fully quarantine, it was a health decision for our dad. We did get four more years out of dad and worked him into assisted living and no hospice where he lived out his life, going out on his terms. He was a tough and resilient man who was sent home to die, and wasn't ready to go out like that.
Now I ask you, would you do everything it takes to minimize risk for a loved one?
And for the record, I got one "clot" shot and one booster during the time caring for our dad, and had covid 4 times, lol. The shot, in hindsight, was worthless, but I was not going to be the reason my dad died.

Sorry to tell you, but ole mom and dad more than likely dragged your arse to the doctor for your school shots, and the micro plastics you ingest every day, and steroid shots, and anesthesia if ever you've had surgery, etc.

Kinda sounds to me like maybe they just changed their mind and are using the inspection as a cop out.
While I agree, I don't think it's a cop out. The buyer is just trying to get their best deal, and looking at upcoming major expenses is not a bad negotiating tool.The seller can just say no, or negotiate if wanting to sell.

ETA: Update on Order 7/23/2026...
Brandon with Mr. Bundle's contacted me vie email and apologized for the "lost in transit" package and not responding more promptly. He immediately packaged up the items I ordered and expedited shipment, which I received yesterday. I wanted to follow up on my previous post as I commented about the lackluster performance prior to that.
I placed an order online for some cigars from Mr. Bundles and they charged my credit card and then received notice from USPS on June 18, awaiting package and they would be shipping from Miami. I never rcvd cigars. I reached out to Brandon on July 2, he was going to look into the issue. I reached out again on the 6th, no reply. I reached out again on the July 13 saying if I didn't here back by Friday the 17th, I would report the CC charge as fraudulent. Today I disputed charge with my CC company. Totally underwhelming customer service and no communication.
Would not recommend Mr. Bundle's.

but they are a ton of work trying to maintain the temp in the fire for a long cook.
Can attest to this. Young me loved sipping whiskey all night and waking up every few hours to check on the fire. I was running pure hardwood at that time.
Older me said screw this shite! I have sold off most of my equipment and run on a weber for all smoking needs. But it's just for the wife and I now, no more tailgates and cooking 20 butts for friends, family...
ETA:
Get a WSM, look up the "Virtual Weber Bullet" forum and it will handle most of what you will ever need!
