Wall of Vines

Dan is a good steward of the house.  He has changed all the lightbulbs to LEDs, has a strict eye on the water heater, has equipped us with a fancy thermostat, and a thousand other things I don't even know about. He realized that the South side of our house gets a lot of sun, so we figured vines would be a natural and simple solution to keep the heat out.

Building frames with chicken wire stapled onto it

Ta da.  We planted some Boston Ivy and are hoping that once it grows it'll really leaf out and turn a lovely red color
