This was the backyard Lisa and I built at our Bonney Lake house while I was working for Boeing. Took us years to do but was glad when we moved back to NH to get away from such a crowded environment. When we bought house, there was just woods behind us so it was fine for a couple of years. Neither of us could live like that again.

Western Red Cedar for fence and trestle. I coated with Australian Timber Oil and it worked well for maybe 4 years. Lisa got the carved salmon from local guy.

This was probably the nicest backyard we’ve ever had.
