I'll have to look to see if I can find an old picture of the fence but looking north from our driveway once used to see a three-foot high fence delineating the northern side of our property and also kept people from driving off that side of our driveway - a drop of 10 to 18 inches.
When I came home the other day, the fence was gone. Carolyn had been talking with our neighbor about the possibility of his replacing that fence. He had had some time that day to demolish and haul away the fence.Once it was down, Carolyn and I rethought the idea of replacing the fence. Maybe what we wanted was just a retaining wall.
This is a view of the dropoff. Obviously we can't do nothing as it is too dangerous now. The red square is where we are planning to put the lamp post.
This is the lamp post. We've wanted to lighten up that area for a long time and hopefully this will do the trick.
Another reason for doing something is that the neighbor's watering has washed away a great amount of dirt and gravel beneath the driveway. This void goes back several feet.
Another view of the gap.
The missing soil has left the driveway to stand on its own, something it really can't do. So we're seeing cracks like this.This is the first installment of our Fence Replacement. Stay tuned for more.
These are some of the elements which you need to be privy. It is not something that happens in a day because if you hurry things, then there is all the possibility that you are going to make terrible mistakes. Complacency is something you cannot tolerate at such times.
