Love your porch furniture and all your lights. I know about people not getting fences done. The lad next door decided he was going to redo our falling down fence (wind damage from a year or 2 ago) and took down the old fence and is still putting up the new fence months later. He is working with his Dad so I guess they have to work on their paying customers first. He is paying for it all because he wanted to do something nice for his Mom and for me because I have been a good neighbour all these years. It really isn't a problem waiting because I use my front yard more than the back yard so all is well.
I see your cat roaming about the yard.
My mother needed to have her roof reshingled in Toronto =- guy came over last Tuesday for a quote and today she is getting a new roof. Guess we didn't have the wind damage on roofs here that we had last year and year before or her roof is small and won't take much time. All I can say is she is happy her roof won't leak anymore.
Aww that is so nice of your neighbours!
I would use the backyard more (I use to) but without a fence, on a corner lot, everyone sees us. Ugh... We will be putting in 6' posts and paying for the dig & set. Our neighbour will reimburse us half the cost of a 4' post. We strongly feel the 6' posts look better and will be a stronger support. We get a lot of wind. He's flipping the house and doesn't realize how much wind comes across in the winter. Once the posts are in, we're both paying half the costs of the wood and both of us (he and his son, myself, my husband and son, maybe my Dad) will put up the fence. Hmm... maybe we'll still get it all done before winter. I hope so.
Yeah, Marbles my cat. She loves being outside but I won't let her roam free. She gets put on a harness and lead on the front porch when I go outside. Sometimes I'll let her stay out there herself as long as she's sleeping on a chair and not roaming the grass. I just keep checking on her. I'm really hoping the fence will be up before winter. She use to be allowed the freedom of the backyard before the fence came down. She'd love to have the backyard freedom back. Since we all thought she was going to pass away during the winter (but didn't!) I'm just not sure if she will make it through this winter.
