I see bicycle and some workbench tools in our backyard. Not a pleasant sight lol. My father is planning to renovate the backyard into a private garden where we would plant vegetables and fruits.
What I see in my backyard...

About the guns and learning to use them! I think the more a parent can teach you stuff like that, when you are very young....it gives the child respect for guns. If i had kids and a gun in the house i would definitely teach my child how to use it for target practice and if you respect your parent you will respect the use of guns. There are so many little kids who have accidentally killed another child only because they found a gun and played with it.
I would also like to add that when i was learning to use gun i was far, far away from any other people's dwellings!

It used to look like this :
My plan is simplicity , it will hopefully be turfed , but I've managed to increase the actual size of the usable lawn & include a 16ft x 10ft summerhouse / workshop into the plan .
I found 300+ unused house bricks throughout the soil , 40 odd driveway bricks & 90 paving slabs !
I want it simple , low maintenance and child friendly .

I'd say the garden was too dangerous for kids , I found glass , metals , hundreds of random nails , sharp edges etc , so it needed radical surgery .
I'll turf edge to edge with 6ft x 16ft decking on the lower flat area with a nice low balustrade onto the lower area . I knew from seeing the garden for the first time what I needed to do , and drew plans accordingly . We've been here about 7 weeks now , but its a slow process on a tight budget .
I have had the help of some brilliant friends who've helped me a lot , we had to move a few tons of earth ;-)

That's what was in our back yard! Gord spent two years taking away junk in his Ford 150 filled to the hilt to get rid of all the crap!
This is approx. 1/3 of our backyard now! The forest behind the cross fence is also ours. The cross fence is there to (hopefully ) keep out the bears! But they make it thru now and then! Where you see that wind chime? The lawn comes back farther and I have a double swing I lay in and read on nice days!
Man plans. God laughs.

Believe it or not we have a huge front lawn too! When Gord used to cut the lawn he did it with a push mower! For about 4 yrs! Finally he got a John Deere ride on! It is so easy even I can use it. Because if I happen to pass out the thing will stop, that is if I fall out of the seat! I am laughing like crazy right now because if i just slumped forward iI have no idea what would happen, but my foot would be limp I hope and it would stop as well! :lol
One day your dream will come true! You will have a ride on for the flattest part and maybe an electric mower for the steep part!
