We had been brainstorming for awhile what we should do with this little corner in our yard.  We wanted to increase the useable space but we are not ready to spend too much money.  So we finally came up with a long term temporary solution.  Stuart and I had been working on it a bit whenever we could; Stuart removed all the old yucky plants then I cleaned up and leveled down the ground.  We lined the area and covered it up with rubber mulch.  Now the corner looks cleaner, however it does not really seem very useful.  We wish to build a cool fort for the boys, but with the money constraint, we now decide to try a dome climbing structure.  It is on order now and we will see how it will fit in.
