Notes: New homeowner, Ericka Smith was happy to finally have a yard of her own. She dreamed of flowers and a sitting area to rest and sketch after a long day of work. When she opened her eyes, this is what she saw. Her neighbors RV butting up to her chain link fence! Tom and Jackie Pratt, her parents arranged for her surprise makeover. They said Ericka wanted a new wood fence to privatize her yard. We had 10 hours, a lot of work to do and a very modest budget. No problem. Pre-cut white vinyl panels to the rescue! Secured to the chain link fence, the lattice panels functioned as an attractive screen and provided a wall to hang pots.
