Looks like an inverted-L antenna :) Should "work".
I must be missing something: Why are you not arranging the legs as such:
The feed point being the V. The | being the power line, and the / and \ being the leg(s)? And, I wouldn't try to smoosh too many bands on there. Beyond 3, it looks really ugly.Code:| \ / | \ / | \ / | \ / | \ / | \ / | V

I had a similar situation one time. What I ended up doing was making a dipole for 80, then using a staple gun, I fastened the elements to the edge of the fascia around the house in opposite directions. It ended up being an L in each direction if you can picture that. I used some 24AWG. You couldn't see it, and it worked reasonably well on most bands with an antenna tuner. It was all I had to work with and I was able to get on the air.

yea right now I have a 75 dipole laying on the roof (made of rg-59 75ohm) 3.9mhz its 1.1 without tuner. but i just pick up way to much noise I can use the tuner to get 1.1 on 7.2mhz but I RFI the hell out of things in the house... (RFI issues will = me not able to have radio) if the damn house was oriented north-south. in this lot. id be in heaven (house just fits on the lot east-west by inches its so close to being over property lines.

Do you have a good tuner?

If you have a tuner, you could always build a end fed longwire...... Easy to hide and you could snake it to where ever you needed it to go. Here is one to consider: ---> http://www.wa0itp.com/longwire.html
