It's a very serious problem. I have not had this much eye pain in ages and headaches. I have had to cut way back on the time I spend here because of it. I have had headaches every day since the change over. These are not coincidence. I think it should be top priority for them to get this adjusted so we are not in pain using the site. Everything else is trivial if we can't even stand to come here to read and participate. Only action I can take on my android tablet is to change the browser to night mode. That reverses the black and white, so the text is now white and the background is dark. That's not a very good alternative. My eyes are just too valuable to keep straining them this way. Please help us out here!

have you checked with the utility company about raising them? or doing something else? It can be done. As for the yard, I think doing something w/the fence and overgrown shrubs and such, would make it 'prettier' to look at so you won't notice the wires. you could try more mature bamboo kept in planting containers and try putting those along the fence. they grow quickly and might hide some of the wires. your neighbor has the right idea w/his evergreen tree. But it was prob planted when the homes were built.

The couch really doesn't fit the room well and I don't like it on that wall. The angled piece is odd and very difficult to work with. Can it be put on the wall where the kids mini sofa is? You need larger art to go over it. You could try switching the mirror and the two small pictures. Then put the TV on the current couch wall - You may need to rotate the rug 90 degrees. The chair could be angled in about where the current angled piece of the sectional is. It costs nothing to try and move the furniture around. There is also a lot of pattern in this room. Curtains, chair and rug.

Where in Minnesota? If Emerald Ash Borer is there, the ash trees may not be for long. A weeping hemlock would handle the shade now and the sun later if it comes to that. I’d go with the serviceberry behind the box. tj
