I have a small problem...
Now with everything going on and waiting for the second pack to arrive I was worried about one thing...
When we get our house there, what size flag should I buy, firstly I thought stupidly about a small door flag to hang from the porch area, then I remembered what peeps have told me about submersing myself in American culture, so I'm now thinking of a full sized pole say twenty feet high and a six feet flag, and at night light this up with spotlights, Friday nights fireworks...
So what do you all think, too much, not enough, I don't think so sunny Jim..

No, not the everyday norm. Around here a few homes have a mount on the house where they can put up a flag if they want to. Around the 4th or Memorial Day it's most likely to be the Stars & Stripes, otherwise I see seasonal flags (Spring, Autumn) more often. There are a lot of rules about how you're technically supposed to fly the flag (never wet, lit at night, etc.) so maybe many don't bother.

This one should look good. Don't want to overdo things when you're new to the neighborhood, after all!
