  - We don't have a good place to do a fire pit, etc. currently. I'm eyeing perhaps doing something like this because the land slopes down dramatically -- (link*) - oblique Apr 18, 12:18 [Image]
  - the fence thing isn't a big deal until you want to replace or change it, or your neighbor does. -- nm - colin Apr 18, 12:11 2
