North, South, East or West? We are sill in PA, planning to move to TV in 2011 so we are trying our best to think most everything through. Here in the frigid North we enjoy a Southern exposure in the front of the house because it helps to melt the snow and helps keeps the kitchen back yard cooler in the Summer all the while lighting up the front rooms of the house very nicely.
When we lived in Tampa many years ago, we had a Northern exposure in the front yard so sun would hit the pool in the back yard. I remember, however, that we had some issues with the trim paint on the house starting to peal in just a few years, and were limited as to what we could plant in terms of flowers in the front. Having done it once, we are thinking of skipping the pool this time around.
So the question is... What kind of exposure do you have, and what do you like or dislike about it?
While we're at it... what do you see when on your lanai... another lanai, a road, the back of a community center, a golf course, etc.? And, what do you like or dislike about that? I once lived close to a road and hated it, but was surprised to find that lots with a back yard facing the road in TV actually cost a bit more.
Thanks in advance for you comments! The more info we can gather... the better!
