Front Yard
- Curb Appeal--look clean and cared for; fit the neighborhood
- Parking for a tenant--no confusion about which door to go in. One parking space without blocking access to new garage
- No steps to front doors (if possible)--okay to go from driveway to door by way of the street
- Hide trash cans
- Hide gas meter
- Fence, gate on west side yard (for a dog?) - maybe the trash cans live in the side yard
- Patio with table and 3 or 4 chairs (Peggy’s concept) - provide security so people don’t steal the furniture, privacy somehow
- Protect Douglas Fir roots under the driveway, but provide smooth drive that can be swept
- Fix the carriage light or remove the brick entry thing
- Install tasteful outdoor lighting (although no one saw it at Eagle’s Nest)
- Modern street numbers
- Maybe 817 ½? If so, add mailbox across the street
Rear Yard
East/BR1 space
- Separate east and west outdoor spaces from BR1 patio door and Family Room patio door.
- Restore the gazebo, add lighting
- BR2 window should not look into West backyard
- Decide whether to repair or remove the water element
- BR1: Lawn leading to gazebo. Gate, paths allows both tenants to reach basement stairs
- New railings on basement stairs when old deck is removed
West/BR3 space
- BR3 patio door is really only for egress.
- Unify the various fences at the top of slope
- Patio with table and 3 or 4 chairs - access from kitchen/family room seems more important than from BR3
East Yard
- Remove metal shed (replace with storage of some kind?)
- Planting for windows, but otherwise keep the weeds off the path
West Yard
- Pave a path to BR3 door (for egress)
- Planting at BR3 window
- Garage man door?

why do both tenants need access to basement?
ReplyDeleteAs we discussed, subsequently, the tenant shouldn't go into the basement--boundaries--but we don't want to keep the gardener, say, from going between east and west sides of the backyard.
