(Community Matters) Dad asked to see the garden – here you go
the building in the background is the pool house
ughh, next project replace the south fence? gotta do it before the bamboo wall fills in. We’ve just trenched the south and east borders of the back yard and inserted a bamboo barrier 2.5 feet in the ground. It’ll create an even denser wall of bamboo. Imagining we should replace the old fence prior. Though, might be able to do so using another material – gotta work on that.
The retaining wall and the gate into Wheatsville have been bears – but, they’re nearly done (the previous retaining wall was 70ish years old and not constructed to today’s standards. The new one stands from 9 feet at the south end to maybe 6 on the north – topped by a 6-foot fence (yards of concrete & rebar? we don’t even want to go there). A lot of time and money trying to get it right and to save the huge pecan tree between us, Wheatsville and our neighbor. The last bit of fencing left is in the tree well. I can’t even remember whether our side, their side or down the middle. Thankfully, the wall is on Wheatsville’s landlord’s property and they paid for the project.
and, then . . . move pool equipment under the stairwell.
