Had chains on the gates since October. <br /><br />What is UGC?Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632520557553405790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-41037606420981326962014-02-03T12:59:22.797-05:002014-02-03T12:59:22.797-05:00I had not realized that you left Brooklyn for Harl...I had not realized that you left Brooklyn for Harlem since I had not visited your blog in a while! Welcome - there is a thriving garden community in the area. I'm on 131st and Lenox - just a stone's throw away - with a very similar deck to yours. It does lack privacy, but I hope you will find, as we have, that it fosters community. There is a lovely community garden on 132nd between Lenox and ACP - I hope you get involved. The UGC is great - they will take good care of you there I'm sure.

It's not enamel, it's just a waterproof coating. So it's temporary and will peel if scratched hard. I gather it cost around $360 for four hours of work (most of which was protecting, and stripping - the spraying took maybe ten minutes).<br /><br />Yeah - went back to Cobble Hill today to see the vet. Lump in my throat. I loved that neighbourhood. I mean, I am liking the new one, but the other one was in my heart.Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632520557553405790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-38141866249846939132014-01-30T15:01:59.694-05:002014-01-30T15:01:59.694-05:00In the south here - Texas - but no matter, its col...In the south here - Texas - but no matter, its cold. I wil be exploring using /making a bamboo screen to block out a too close neighbor. Look forward to seeing your birch branches. Mine must be lightweight - just enough for a not heavy vine.
