The house behind us still towers over us with its 3 stories, and the contract for the buyers is still pending. We have been imagining catching the toddlers who might tumble down the 4 foot drop to our yard. Recall that this drop off (the haha) served in long-ago estates to keep the cattle from wandering onto the lawn, without having a fence impede the view.
Arlington Building code did not agree with the "haha" concept. In preparation for inspection, a fence has been installed. It is a sensible fence, as might serve for a porch railing, and it seems to create a simple visual barrier. Our remodel was designed to focus the orientation of the house towards the back yard and its outdoors feel. My adjustment to this view is slow, but the small bunny that comes through the yard does seem to find it a suitable outdoorsy habitat.
