Long term plans, in no particular order:

1) Shore up existing retaining wall around driveway (my garage/driveway back up against a hill). Masonry is cracking, so I'll probably need to rent a backhoe and dig behind the wall, build a frame, and pour in concrete to make sure it holds. That's going to be a big job.
2) Move my shed. Currently right behind the house, and it blocks the view of my scenic forest from the back room. Short sighted placement on the part of the previous residents, but that was pretty much their MO.
3) Add patio where my pool used to be. (Big project off the list this past year was filling in the pool)
4) Terrace back hill.
5) Clear out stable, refinish cement block walls, add pergola and fire pit.
6) Line porch with river rock as a border because wife thinks it will look good (she's probably right).

Got my next few Saturday's lined up...
You might think of installing a french drain on number 1.

I got rid of the river rock the first owners had put down. It was full of weeds. And took too long to take care of.

I spent yesterday sawing up the 4 wood pallets that was sitting along the retaining wall for fire wood.
