Recycled and repurposed materials take Yucky to YUMMY in our backyard hideaway.  Bricks from torn down chimney.  Fencing from neighbor's "free" pile on their parking strip.  Joyful permission to paint our neighbor's right-on-the-property-line garage to coordinate with OUR surroundings.  (The unseen portion that's theirs is painted gray!).  Great place to hide away from the wind and the neighbors and the world!  The cost?  $20 for a gallon of paint.
