Backside air

The back fence was torn down this morning, affording for the first time (on my camera, anyway) a view of the entire rear of the house. The empty area in the foreground will be filled with gravel, an island of decomposed granite with some teak benches, a storage unit for all my crap, and a patch of grass.


I like how you can see through the front door from the rear sliding doors--and vice versa. It's not quite transparent, but it's very open.


After the roofing and electrical details are finished, a final inspection by the city will take place this week. The landscaping and fencing should progress rather quickly once certain details are finalized.
