[Magdalen] Need to blow off steam

[Marion Thompson]

The main fence work is updating existing wood fencing that is falling 
down and is a pain for the neighbours on two sides.  The privacy fence 
is simply a single line of fence running down toward the sidewalk, no 
barbed wire.   Won't be happening any time soon, that is clear.  If you 
saw the set-up, you'd understand the fishbowl aspect of it.
