Neighbor Bob has been removing the ivy from our mutual fence, so we can tear down the fence and replace it with a new one. He has been kind enough to dodge wires stretched between his house and the fence which have been holding it up for a few years. I'm sure he looks forward to walking upright again when he's in his side yard. We have a lot of Ivy to remove, so this project will take a while, but I'm looking forward to the work, and to the nice new fence!
