Nichols we just want to get your side of the story can you talk with us Nichols might be camera shy but he's definitely not shy about having cameras this one is pointed right at Barnes's backyard and the lawsuit calls for it to be whoo-hoo for Barnes it's more than the loss of land for her gardening is a religion and I talked to my flowers I pray over my flowers they mean that much to me now the attorney for the condo association has not returned our phone calls Barnes's attorney meanwhile says he'll continue to try to get her fence and her backyard restored to its original layout if not lawsuit could end up in court Chris Horne 10 on your side
