another (multi) weekend project

What drew us initially to the Centenarian was its amazing backyard.  It was the perfect amount of space for what we wanted to do - which in the end will include a deck, vegetable garden, potting station, patio, fountain, fire pit, outdoor kitchen with BBQ and wood-fired oven, a fern grotto, split rail fence, native garden demonstration...and maybe even a vineyard if we can find rain-loving grapes.  

But the one thing we didn't like was the crummy chain-link fence separating us from the neighbors.  Its no big deal when no one's hanging out in the backyard - but now its summer, and our backyard BBQs were clashing with their backyard BBQs.  It was about to get ugly in the urbs.  So we collaborated with them to build the beautiful 95 ft long viewing obstruction you see below.  Garden before-and-after pics only add to the dramatic effect.
