Bear Jr's Backyard Project
I mentioned a few times over the last few months about this project, and I finally got all the pictures together.
Bear Jr was getting sick & tired of trimming weeds from the bank along the pond & under the Deck.
He designed this all himself, and he helped with all the steps. All of the guys who worked on this were Buddies of his, and guys he gets to do their thing on the Tower Sites that he builds. The Back Hoe guy is his best friend. The Boulders used range from 3,000 pounds to 14,000 pounds.
After Winter breaks, he will be building a Pavilion on the patio, in front of the Fireplace.
He will also be getting rid of most of the Lily Pads!!
He's also thinking about an outdoor kitchen.
This should be a Great Picnicking place!!!
Thanks For Looking, Guys!!!

Thought I should add these two pics of the Pavilion Bear Jr just put up in his Back Yard Project.
Finally got the Pavilion up in Bear Jr’s Back Yard Project:
Here’s a close-up. Pavilion is 16” X 18’. All he needs to do is put stone on the bottom of the posts to match the Fireplace:
