A Fire Circle Adds Warmth and Fellowship

There is nothing quite like watching a fire while sitting under the pines and a sky filled with stars.  A fire circle is a great, and safe, way to enjoy just such a fire.  And if a grill is at the ready to be rotated over the fire with a steak or deer sausages on it, this only enhances the ambiance.

"Annex" Adds Unique Value to Property


When we initially bought our property there were no facilities on it.  At first we used a tent, then set up a small trailer.  But we didn't have a septic system.  Fortunately we learned about a porta-potty graveyard in North Georgia, and we decided to visit it.  What a surprise to see rows upon rows of retired porta-potties, all still usable and for sale.  We picked out one that looked ready to be put back into service and brought it over to our property.  With a hole cut in the bottom and placed over a deep hole in the ground, plus a bucket of lime for environmental purposes, this porta-potty was ready for business!

Bill was able to find paint that would adhere to the fiberglass and transformed the porta-potty into a camouflage "annex" that definitely adds value to the property.

Now that we have a septic system in place near our camping area, we have moved the "annex" to a convenient location at the other end of our property.  There it can continue to provide service for years to come.
