Our New Winter Hometown of Sparta, Georgia
Presently we are in the process of eventually making our House in Sparta, Georgia our permanent Winter residence. Next Nov 1st 2015 we will officially move to Sparta for 6 months Nov 1st - April 30th. We will come home (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) for 2 weeks every Christmas to spend it with our Parents, Siblings, Children, Grand Children and Friends. We hope to put our current home in Carleton Place, Ontario on the market in late Spring, early Summer 2015. From May 1st - October 31st we will live at our (not winterized) beautiful Cottage on Big Gull Lake, Ontario. The following are pictures I have been taking of some of the homes and surrounding area of Sparta, Georgia and will add to it every few mon

Building of the Perfect 108 sq ft Cottage Bunkie
I turned 50 years old on December 29th 2012. For my 50th Birthday my parents gave me $1000.00 towards a Cottage Bunkie, plus my fathers free labour to build it. My father and I (mostly my father) did research on the perfect Bunkie, we toured a few other Bunkie's fellow cottagers had built, and we finally settled on the plans from Cottage life magazine, with a few modifications my father made to accommodate the fact I am 6' tall and wanted to be able to stand up on the 2nd floor loft. Here is the progression of the building from June 2013 until finished October 2013. Enjoy !! The total cost was approx $2500.00 and the results are amazing. The biggest Thank you goes to my Father Bill Hindson who spent the whole summer building, most of the time on his own, every once and awhile he got help from my Mom, Norma Hindson, my son Tyler Hindson, my brother Dan Hindson, my sister Sue Mckean, and Me of course.
