A Big…Block…Wall…

We just had a big block wall put up in the back yard. In case you aren’t from around here and think such a thing would be ugly and separate you from your neighbors – it is, it does and everyone just loves them here. We used to have a fence – just a run of the mill (more like run down by a mill) wooden fence. It was falling apart and it didn’t go a long way toward selling the house (yes we’re still trying to do that).

So down with the old fence and up with a new one.

Right out my kitchen window.

Big….

Grey…..

Blocky….

It’s UGLY!

I just can’t decide if it’s uglier than what we had before. Something about this doing things to a house not knowing now or ever if it will help it sell leaves me feeling uncertain (could it be the uncertainty of it all?). I still can’t decide if the painted kitchen is really BETTER than before or just different.

Who knew doing home improvements could be so existential (I hope I’m using that correctly)?
