Privacy Barrier 1

Completing the privacy barrier on the back deck.  We doubled up on the fabric because the single layer was just a bit too thin.  The cat isn’t going to appreciate us cutting into her deck sun rays.  She’s gonna have to learn to go into the yard I’m afraid.

Aaand, if that’s the worst of your problems you’re doing a-OK.

Next projects, not necessarily in order: redo the deck railings, fixing and or replacing all the way around, building a fence hanging raised bed for some herbs, building a privacy structure for our dining room window that overlooks the neighbors dining room.
