To end..I dont need to walk the property lines...as I am within 50 feet of the house and I can stand up and see the entire .3 acre.
Life is great in my wild back yard!!  
Back on topic...I second the idea of milling you own lumber...maybe a little time consuming...but well worth the effort! |

Another fun one, if the kids are old enough is identifying species on the property. Map out the tree stands and densities.
Identify a good tree to build a killer tree house. Bring an alaska mill and cut your own wood to build it. You could also build some camp furiture and a common area for grilling. That was one of the first projects I got my wife involved with after moving here from FL. We helped build a common area and furniture for the Nature Conservancy. She still talks about how much fun it was.

All great ideas. 8 yr. old has plans for a treehouse from his book dangerous book for boys.
Also have detailed outhouse specs from my outhouse thread. Buddy is doing the building, I will dig the hole.
Have been talking about the bridge idea.
