New Carport, backyard campsite.

[GCinSC2]

Airforums,

We just had this 18' X 36' X 10' carport built to protect against weather issues, hail and wind damage. It is just about wide enough to have the awnings out fully extended if I needed to dry them out. My backyard is isolated and we have it setup for weekend getaways. 30A service and water, cooking and campfire pit round it out. But after the close calls with hail we had this spring, this feels pretty good. Kinda like the way it blends in with the leaves on the trees.

Now, I know it has to roll also not just sit, working on it.

Wow! We're in love with your "campsite."

LOVE IT... We are looking to do the same kind of setup... preferably near a lake or mountain stream...

What a great spot! You're blessed back there in SC with that 'green' foliage all year long...

You're hide-a-way could be one answer to the high fuel prices currently in vogue - vacation in your own back yard!

Enjoy!

Are you taking reservations for those times you are traveling? :-)

Hadn't thought of that one yet, sorry no mountain view, no pond, just dogwoods, hickory, oak, cherry, wild grape vines, scrub, and of course long leaf pine. Right now we hear the whip-or-wills at night perched on a tree in the woods, calling for a few minutes, quiet for a minute or two then calling again from a different spot in the woods.

We do enjoy being able to just walk down to the backyard and get away, you can't even see it from the street due to downhill setting. About all we see at night is stars and sattelites every once in a while.

I do have the materials for a new fire pit, might be built on a 48" X 64" base, we'll see how it shapes up.

I do like to cook over a fire be it grilling, a big old pot of Texas style chili or smoking some ribs. Oh yeah, my 20" Lodge skillet makes a big mess of pancakes, buckwheat preffered of course with some Buckeye real maple syrup, don't forget the 44 cup coffee boiler for those special breakfasts with a bunch of friends.

Thanks for the kind comments to all.

Chance of a storm tonight, AS looks pretty secure, knock on wood under that carport.
