There are so many things....
A chicken coop
A small garden pond
Oh - I forgot the pond (completely impractical, but I want one)

I am very fortunate to have a pond. It happened by chance, actually.
When I moved here there was a low spot in the backyard with wild
roses, wild raspberries, and soggy soil. After removing the
vegetation I found seven springs that kept the ground wet. I built a
pond--no liner, no pumps. A PVC pipe was buried to catch the overflow
to a nearby stream. The pond is about 8,000 gallons and the water
runs during a drought. I use the water for watering the garden and to
breed goldfish.
That is a really nice find.. I don't have anything like that here.. Best
pond I can hope for is one via EPDM liner slapped into a hole.. Which..
Is on the list of things to do..
Already have two preformed "ponds" by the side entry, if you can call
them that.. It's hard to call anything less than 5-6k gallons a pond
IMO.. More like a water feature.
Hoping to do around 2k gallons or so with the liner. Who knows.
