Garden and Guns?

WHAT?

While waiting to get my hair cut, this was on the table in the salon.
I have never seen this magazine. Great concept, something for most guys and gals.


While looking through, this tree house caught my eye and when reading further I found it's right here in Atlanta.

Environmentalist Peter Bahouth found a sliver of forest and built the ultimate retreat - 50 feet above the ground. He is the former executive director of the Turner Foundation and now the executive director of the U. S. Climate Action Network. He has helped preserve some of the most beautiful places on earth. He said, "there's no place he would rather be than in his tree house perched high atop some tulip poplars and an old southern shortleaf pine."
He bought a vacant wooded lot with a meandering creek next to his modern glass house.
The whole thing took 6 months of planning and 6 weeks to build out of spare lumber and old windows that had been thrown out or bought at antique stores. The result, with a built in platform bed overlooking the creek and a whimsical bridge held in place with ship rope, is the perfect place for a nap or large parties! Balmouth says that at the end of the day he enjoys getting up there to enjoy the sunsets that filter through the trees. Pretty tremendous!"
Now...just WHERE in Atlanta is this house?

After further investigation I found this magazine has been around since 2007 so you true blue southerners probably knew this already. But I love finding new things and learning even more!
Go here to check it out online.
