This is a picture from the back door of our new house, "the alley".  There is a semi truck picking up bottles from the shantytown bottle depot behind us.  I just took the fence down, because it was rotten and leaning at about 45 degrees.  Here in the picture, you have paving stones to the edge of our property line.  My trailer is backed in rite against the side fence, and just fits, with this "chicken coop"/ tool shed.  We were going to haul the shed out to Andrew, cause it is half our back yard, but it weighs a ton.  Three of us could not lift one side, so it stays, or gets destroyed.  It will be our new "urban chicken coop".  The roosters can stay in Andrew.

I salvaged the top half of the 6'6" back fence, to make a 4' fence in the front yard, to keep the dogs in.  That is almost done, I painted all the boards after work the last few days, put the posts in this evening.  Michelle has been busy pulling up the "cat pee" carpet, and painting upstairs.  We are talking about making a steel fence in the back yard, Mexico style.  We will see if I can get some cheap steel somewhere.
