Anticipating the new neighbours, being young bachelors, may not keep their surroundings as clean as EJ would like them to be, EJ decided to take action a few months ago before they shifted in.
There was a gap at the lower part of the dividing chainlink fence between EJ's and neighbour's porches where dead leaves and carelessly discarded stuff can move across when the wind blows.
Luckily EJ did not discard the remnants of the plastic mesh (considered junk) used to cover all windows and grills in the house to deter the cats from sneaking out. These remnants were used to line and cover that gap along the dividing chainlink fence.
The work was pretty fast. It only took only one whole morning to put together using plastic cable ties.
Less dead leaves and other stuff migrated to EJ's porch now. Dead leaves are still on the neighbour's porch on the right while there are none on EJ's on the left.
EJ is pleased as nothing was wasted. All remnants were made use of as well as less sweeping and cleaning of the porch.

May your new neighbours be animal people!
Not exactly, sadly. Wouldn't allow them even a glimpse of my cats. Once they wanted to borrow my cats to catch rats (and other vermins) in their house to which an adamant NO was given.
EJ - seriously???????????
Well done for using up the plastic mesh to bolster up your fencing!
Here's hoping your neighbours behave themselves!
Glad to know your kitties are very safe with you! Yay!
take care

Um, maybe a 10-foot high solid wall between you and the non-animal-loving neighbours?
You have worked hard, but the result is great.I hope people there are our kind of people, I mean love animals!
Happy weekend

Sorry to read that the neighbors aren't animal people but great job on the fencing! I think that's super creative. The most important is that your kitties are all safe.

We have the same problem here, not with leaves, well that too, but our neighbors hate cats. And my dumb cats go over there all the time but they run home when anyone comes outside.
Hope that Pebble gets all right. It is scary when they lose weight and you don't know why.
Have a great day.
