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.

From the deck…

From the other side.  I’ve abandoned the idea of replacing all those slats with cabling on the railings.  While I think it would look groovy, it’s just too expensive.  It’s stunning how much that stuff costs… I averaged it at around $60 plus a cable a side.  Since code requires there to be no more than a 4.5 inch gap between them… well, you do the math.  It’s just some damned metal wire and grommety ends.  I don’t know why it’s so expensive.  THE COST OF DECK CABLING IS TOO DAMN HIGH!

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.
