Types of Fires Allowed All Year
June 1, 2009
- Image via Wikipedia
Certain types of fires are allowed all year, even during the burn ban.
- Recreational fire means an outdoor fire in which only logs or clean wood are being burned and has a total fuel area of 3 feet or less in diameter and 2 feet or less in height for pleasure, religious ceremonial, cooking, warmth or similar purposes, and which is not used to dispose of garbage or yard waste.
- Recreational fires are allowed between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 10:30 p.m.
- No recreational burning is allowed on windy days (10 mph or higher) or on days when the atmospheric conditions (cloudy, overcast, or raining) would cause the smoke to remain low to the ground.
- Recreational fires must be attended by an adult who must be watching the fire at all times. Never leave the fire unattended.
- A water hose or fire extinguisher must be on hand that can reach the fire, and can be ready to use if needed.
- Recreational fires must be at least 25 feet from all structures.
- Recreational fires shall not be started with petroleum-based products.
- Some common sense shall be used when determining if a fire qualifies as a recreational fire. People sitting around a small campfire would be considered a recreational fire. A homeowner with a large pile of brush in their yard and frequently having a small fire is not a recreational fire.

What’s To Say?
February 3, 2009
Sure hasn’t been much to say about Atlanta real estate – or any real estate – these days unless you wanna talk about steals and deals.
So, I’ve written 25 Things About Me over here. And built a site for real estate agents over here.
Thought I should write today to let you know we are still in the real estate business.
Ever Been Criticized?
January 22, 2009

Go get a fresh cup of coffee, I’ll wait. Now, kick back, put your feet up and dream…
If you’ve ever had a dream – you’ve also had critics. It seems they show up right on cue every time that special new dream begins to form. Critics come in the form of family members, employers, friends, and associates.
Interestingly, the only opinion worth listening to is your own. The opinions of others simply reflect their own limitations – and have nothing to do with the achievement of your dreams. Just imagine how shallow the world would be today if the following individuals had listened to their critics:
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s family said, “How long will you go on training all day in a gymnasium and living in a dream world?”
Mary Kay Ash’s attorney advised two weeks before her first store opening, “Liquidate the business right now and recoup whatever cash you can. If you don’t, you’ll end up penniless.”
His teachers to Ray Charles: “You can’t play the piano, and God knows you can’t sing. You’d better learn how to weave chairs so you can support yourself.”
What Diana Ross heard her teacher say when auditioning for a high school play: “You have a nice voice, but it’s nothing special.”
Have a dream? Live it, pursue it, and achieve it – with a passion!
