Aesthetic Improvements

This week I want to take a break from talking about the variety of trash that rains down on our yard.  Instead, I'd like to tell you about/show you one of the "upgrades" my roommates and I made in regards to our yard.  So, when you walk out of our back door and stand in the grass, there will be a wood fence on your right.  About 5 weeks ago, a friend was leaning on the fence and one of the boards broke - another was barely holding on.  For a couple of days we lived with a broken fence - however, where some may see a flaw, we saw a chance at perfection.  Four hours and a trip to ACE hardware later, and we have a functioning door.  We bought 4 hinges and screwed them to the tops and bottoms of both boards, connecting them to the unbroken parts of the fence.  Now, instead of having to walk around Thomas in on order to exit, all we have to do is walk out our back door and step onto the 3rd story walkway that overlooks the tennis courts/pool.  It's super awesome and convenient and essentially makes our already awesome yard 3x better.  Check it out...
