Default Love 'our' wall

We have a Wisteria with a wall directly in back. I do not remember the exact measurement to the wall, but my guess is 12 feet from edge of lanaii. I have never lived anywhere where people could look in the back of my home, so having the wall prevents that and made us feel more comfortable living so close to other homes. After a little landscaping it is very peaceful (when two dogs in CYV behind us are in their house) and private.

One small thing to consider. Keep an eye out for where the electrical supply box will go (the big green one). In open space the hummmm is often not noticeable, but depending on the location of the home a wall will tend to 'enhance' the noise.
