Fenced Off

We absolutely love our house and where we live. The neighbors? not as much... Soon after we moved in we realized that it didn't matter how nice we made out lawn, our view from the large front windows is pointing straight at our neighbors. I don't want to be disparaging against anyone, so lets just say it's not the best view. Well, we finally did something about it. Due to the odd shape of our plot of land, this side yard is actually considered a 'front yard' by the city. That means that we aren't allowed to build a 6 foot wall unless we get a variance from the city. Talking with a few people, I found out that the chances of them accepting our application for a variance is slim to none, so we didn't bother paying the huge fee to apply. I guess we are stuck with only a 4 foot fence. Still worth it, we decided. We had a guy come out and measure it out and made plans for them to come and build it. The day has finally arrived, and boy are they quick! They had the whole 80 foot fence up in about three hours- wow! We went to go check it out and, of course, Wiggins had to christen it...
