but the hummingbirds live there or The Fence: day 2

Well, after two months, C finally convince our unresponsive neighbor to take out her side of the fence. I still don't think she's sold on it. But the vine on OUR property was actually supporting her dilapidated, termite infested thing. So that was a problem. She is really attached to the atrociously crazy and unruly vine. She likes the hummingbirds. She thinks they live there. But I promise no nests were harmed in the building of the fence on carver. A failed attempt at trying to convince C that we should buy her a birdfeeder and call it a day resulted in a few branches left for her. So, um, she gets to the couple of pieces that were on HER property. I better never see that vine again once our bamboo grows in. Or else.

santa's bringing us a new fence

Our old fence was termite infested, falling over and just plain ugly. Work finally started on it today and we are super duper excited for a new fence, gates and a bamboo planter. Now that we've finished the interior, the exterior can commence! Exterior will include: new fence, faux grass, new driveway/walkway, new paint, new roof and a new garage door. This phase is going to be more slow going than the interior, but it will all get done in time.
