Got that down already. I found this cement bench at an estate sale for $40. My wife picked the spot where it sits, this will be the focal point. Very nice to sit there next to the stream with a cup of coffee in the morning! There's also plans for a pathway and a semi-artificial stream bed where the sump pump and a downspout empty out. Right now it's only a small ditch I dug so the water would empty into the stream instead of pooling on the ground (you can see it in the picture of the wild corner). During the rainy season, that's a lot of water being pumped out.
