Hopefully you can see the plant hedge of bamboo and bottle brush, reinforced by me with a green mesh fence from Lowes till the hedge grows patent. This runs between lanai and garage, and av and pool eqpt on the left are obscured for neighbors by the plants. This could serve as a win-win for all.

Isn't it ridiculous that dog owners can't do something like this that is permanent? Really -- what harm does it do???

Ale, you're the best! And Kitty, that looks lovely - what a great job, so tastefully done. Can't wait to meet Emma sometime - she looks like a sweetie - oh, and you too, Kitty!
