Thanks.  We have about $60k worth of upgrade in the kitchen alone - we only paid $35k because my father and I did the majority of the work.  We're listing at about $4k more than what a house two down from us (same floor plan) sold for without all the upgrades, so we're hoping for the best.  As long as we break even, I'm happy.  Next home MUST have at least 1/2 acre of unwooded property and room for a greenhouse!!

I converted this to use squares of leftover "well seasoned" lattice from someone's back deck.  In a very short period of four weeks and a couple of rains with extreme heat, it has warped heavily.  I am not happy with the weight of the wood on the wire, it makes me nervous.

I placed all of my cuttings rooted a couple months ago outside in the mostly shaded area of this, so you see my flock has increased and the growth is also going great.

I purchased camoflage netting ("hunting blinds") to replace this lattice.  I will re-run my wire with two parallels and a cross, like:   |X|

I will post pictures of the hunting blind material after it comes in and is installed.

Monster deck is definitely in order for the new place we've got under contingency contract.  There is currently a 2nd story deck with a hot tub.  Hot tub is gonna go, maybe I should keep the tub portion there, fill with soil and plant fig trees.  :)
