OK So over the last 2 1/2 years I have been completely consumed with building a pool in my backyard. It is not complete and I am turning my sights back to cleaning up the yard and expanding my garden. I have a pond and path in my Japanese inspired garden in one are and the other area I have a shishi odoshi and a lantern and some other stuff. In the back next to the pond I built a clubhouse for my daughter. She has pretty much outgrown it so I want to tear it out and expand the garden. I thought about expanding the pond or putting in a stream or converting the clubhouse to a tea room / shed combo. Any ideas are welcomed. You can view my back yard at:

I suppose I should also draw up a layout of my backyard too.

Thanks George. Your teahouse was the inspiration. I love your yard/garden. How many years has it taken you to get there?

Thanks again!
Frank
