This sounds like a good idea. I'll look into this.

Other ideas: Can you put a shed there to store things you'd normally store in the garage? Park your cars there? (maybe allowing you to convert the garage to living space) Alternatively, can that be a play area for kids?

I wonder about the liability issues of having a swingset or other toy/play structure there. Wouldn't that attract kids other than yours?

Using it as a parking lot is genius. Pave it and then you don't even have to mow!
