I am here now.
Sorry the lower fence was never part of the scope so not on my radar.
I walked down to the lower fence and I see that it had been pushed down in places and kind of a mess all along behind the trees.
I see a few spots that seem low enough for dogs to jump out.
Hunter- can you meet tomorrow to look at it with me?
The masons are starting the terraces today  but we can still hold off on other items .
Thanks,
Thorne

If Kathleen talked to the neighbor that's great great-but I highly doubt that the neighbor has the same sense of urgency we do to have that fence replaced - so please have a wire fence put in place of what is there now as a part of the "back yard design." If it costs more than what was agreed upon take out whatever is the equivalent - stones trees bushes I don't care -  and put the fence in. If you have any questions I'll be home tomorrow. I assume you already started as that is what I sent a check for - so it will be great timing.
