These progression threads are great. I personally don't mind the white fence, understanding many times not everything can be changed. We have a BBQ island pergola that is white, although our dining pergola is a brown stain, and I've been trying to think of ways to decorate to distract the eye from the white. That concrete mask on the fence turned out to be a commanding piece. Really nice. And I think the greenery on the fence was a great idea and softens the look, less stark. You've got carpenter bees there and we have black widow spiders to look out for here. Never want to have anyone sit on a bar stool and brush up against a web at night. Kind of freaks me out thinking about it. Nighttime used to be so much more fun. I assume your bees are only an issue during the day (apart from those nasty holes they make)? Hey I have an idea for your TV when you are entertaining and not watching a game. If you can add a cheap DVD player to it you could run an animated scene from an aquarium or ocean with fish swimming. Frame the TV as an aquarium. Thanks for taking the time to check out my build and reply. I like your idea about the TV/aquarium. I may be able to hook up my old apple TV to it and stream various clips. Carpenter bees don't seem to be very aggressive and not an issue at night. Its a tough call between black widows and carpenter bees. At least people can heal... lol. The holes the carpenter bees last forever. (But yeah I'm not a fan of any spider, especially ones that actually do bite.)
