Looks pretty good, and it pops out well (but not overwhelmingly).
Also, just saw this as top post on Reddit. :P

I came in here expecting some good Irishman shitposts, but this thread really let me down.
Paint job looks nice. A touch brighter than I'd prefer on my own space, but it's not so extreme as to be gauche or anything.

That Reddit post was not me. It's weird someone took my pic and posted it there. I'm guessing it was someone here? Whoever posted it claimed it was there house.
LOL, I was just about congratulate you about it blowing up on reddit.
Top reddit post:
"This is actually crazy! This is my grandparents old house. I've mowed those lawns so many times lmao. Friendly hello from one of the younger Randich's, I'm glad to see that you've really made the place your own. Much love "

I might DM that poster because they sound legit. The Randich's did live in my house and they're an awesome and well respected family in town.
Thinking about how my Dad just painted his house neon green (rave green Seahawks colors) and how his neighbors all asked him to redo it lmao
You are making a few leaps of judgement here Andrew. I didn't suggest that someone with a flag is a Trump supporting racist.
As you suggest I live in England, and it might be our cultural views on patriotism differ. I am suspicious of anyone who is overtly patriotic. I think being proud of your country is weird.
Flags are rare here. If I saw someone with an England flag outside their house (outside of a major sporting tournament like the world cup), I would assume that they are a racist. If they had a British flag I world assume that they at the very least hold extremely Conservative views.
I certainly do find some aspects of American overt patriotism weird, even troubling. Pledge of allegiance is some weird level of indoctrination, and singing the national anthem before domestic sporting events seems unnecessary. If I see someone waving an American flag I would be suspicious, what is so great about America?
i think it looks good, but i wouldn't call the original green and brown drab, i think it looked cool
also i agree with this lol
I don't know man, in Sweden it's also popular to have the swedish flag on your house.
Or even on a flag pole
that flag lol. I always thought it is a cliché that americans do that.
But I love the colour of your house. nice.

Most probably they're really their grandson/daughter and they got duped by the reddit poster lol
It looks very nice, OP.
I hate the flag with all my heart though, it looks so tacky, but that's just me
Quick question:
Why isn't the front door touching the ground? It looks like it's levitating, i think it looks odd

Hey I saw your post on reddit! I think it looks great.
Edit: Or I guess I should say, I saw someone post your house on reddit!

Really, where?
No one flies flags outside their house here (apart from the queen!).
That flag is everywhere over there - it flies outside a significant number of houses, businesses, probably every municipal and regional governing authority, banks, etc. And every time it's flown from a house it's always a massive one. What colours do they use for bunting when it comes to town events? That's right, the colours of the flag. What colours are strewn throughout classrooms? The flag. Along with a few flags. A town celebrates its history, what colours will every street be decked out in? Two guesses only.
The only time I see Irish flags flying from houses is when we're playing in some international game of soccer or something. And when people do have the Irish flag outside their home for whatever occasion, it's almost never as big as the one seen in the OP. The Irish flag flies from government buildings but not always local town halls and whatever. The only businesses I see flying them are hotels - and not even the majority of them, and again they'll usually only fly it because they have flags for guests of visiting countries. The only time I can recall the streets being dressed up with the Irish flag was during the 1916 100 year commemoration ceremony in Dublin.
They're obsessed with the stars and stripes. I don't know why but it's probably coming from the same place as having children chanting a pledge of allegiance to the country every morning.
