[VICAR OF DIBLEY]

We went from a small designer to a cyv.

My husband has breathing problems and we needed to cut down his exposure to grass.

We no longer have a "kissing lanai" which we are extremely happy about.

Our annual expenses have decreased;
no lawn service
no lawn maintenance service (bugs, fertilizer, replacement of lawn, etc._
bond is lower on cyv
more usable garden area
freedom to leave lanai and kitchen doors and windows open
and not have to close them and reopen them everytime we left our home
Privacy and then some more privacy
QUIETER - in our designer home we heard the lawn mowers going at 8 am, here in the cyv I haven't heard any commercial lawn mowers - gardeners use hand mowers
our electric bill went down
irrigation water bill went down due to less lawn
have a beautiful vista - in the process of having an 87 foot mural painted
and I guess I can list more things.

We could not have moved into a cyv when we first came down here. We were used to wide open spaces - neighbors were acres away.

What ever you buy I wish you lots of luck.
