I know it really has been awhile…but remember the fence situation?

The aesthetic and security issues brought on by the above monstrosity?

and then the eventual demise and collapse. I believe the fence died of ugliness.

The “fence hole” has been present since I blogged about it in – WOW – October. We have been living in a certified dump for over three months. No wonder I’ve been so depressed…

There were rumors and murmurs around the ‘hood about the possibility of a new fence being paid for by the REO bank to sell the empty neighbor house. One night – like a fairy tale – we came home and saw the posts installed and the skeleton of our brand new fence! Hooray!

I couldn’t have been more psyched…until the next day. It became clear how the bank planned on saving some money on this little adventure and what happened can best be described as “frankenfence”.

I need to grab some shots of it in the daylight in order to express its profound strangeness. More to come…
