“A doctor can bury his mistakes but an architect can only advise his client to plant vines.”



Perhaps the person that advised the former owner of this home to paint it Vols Orange, later advised them to plant vines. Heaven knows the vine population is never ending. We would pull what appeared to be a little twig, and it would just keep coming and coming and coming. Some of the Vines have been 50 to 60 feet long. Some climbed up the downspouts all the way up the side of the house and into the rain gutters. Invasive does not begin to describe it. We are just glad that we got to these while they were still dormant. Leaves would have made it so much more complicated.

After about 2 hours of work, we declared victory with two large piles of dreaded, awful vines.
