    Instead of it being a trailer park ,you'd have a bus park. I like the idea of landscaping it. I'd stay there. Nice job.

    If you have a plenty of those platforms, do a cimi circle from the front to the back of the bus and bridge the space in between then around the perimeter of your camp.
    With railing.

    These cooling units have adjustable legs and the hand rails that were under the units are for the top along with the stairs you have in other places around your site so you can gain access to the top and have a railing to it is safer to be up there.

    I can't tell you how much I'd like to help renovate that bus, and I'd make some kind of crow's nest up in the large tree that's behind it.
    I thought the bright orb in the beginning of the video was the sun. I guess it was actually the moon.

    As a kid I got to walk on board a railroad caboose at a transport museum in St. Louis, Missouri and ever since I've always wanted one to live in or at least have as a man cave. It had a pot bellied stove, two bunk beds, two seats in the cupola, and a built-in table and desk area. If ever you get a caboose I'll be first in line to buy it.😊😄 😁😄

      I've wanted to live in an old caboose also. I first got the idea when I walked through one that's parked as a permanant exhibit at the Allegan fair grounds in Michigan.
      Every time I see a caboose, I have to stop and check it out. Lots of them in northeast Georgia, where I lived for two years. All the old wooden ones have pot bellied stoves. I imagine the newer steel bodied ones would be hot in the summer time.

    Here’s my fish story. Years ago I was going fishing with some friends. Someone said, let’s go the lake. No luck, let’s go to the river, no luck. Let’s go to a different lake, no luck. We went everywhere we could think of. Finally we gave up. On the way home we passed by some piles of dirt that were from holes that were dug years earlier. Supposedly the holes were dug for basements of a row of houses that someone was going to build but never did. As we passed by, just for a second I thought I saw water behind the piles of dirt. I said hey there’s water back there, let’s go check it out. So we drove back there and sure enough there was what looked like a small lake, or swimming hole. One of the guys started getting his rod&real out of the trunk. I said, what are you doing, there’s no fish in there. That’s just a hole in the ground. He cast his line out and he got a bite right away. We couldn’t believe it. We all started fishing and soon we had a bucket full of bluegills. Then we went home. On the way we were discussing what we should do with the fish. When we got home, my mother was sitting at the kitchen table looking depressed. I said, what’s wrong? She said, dad is going to be home soon and I haven’t got anything for him to eat. We didn’t have to say anything. We all knew what to do. Someone got the fish out of the car. We gathered around the kitchen sink and started getting the fish ready to cook. We gave the prepared fish to mother and she started frying it in our 100 year old cast iron skillet. Just when it was done, dad walked in and said what he always says when he gets home from a long day at work. He said, what’s for supper. Mom put a plate full of hot freshly fried fish on the table. Dad started to eat, we all looked at each other and smiled. He said, this is delicious. I think it was a miracle. We didn’t feed 5000, like it says in the Bible, John 6:1-14. But we fed one dad and he was full and happy. We all ate the leftovers and my friends went to their homes. Matthew 6:25-34

    Silas my great aunt used to swear by rubber tires, she had so many uses that you better not even pretend you was gonna take an old tire out of her pile of what everyone else called junky breeding grounds for skeeters lol. She never let water pool up in even the "havent decided what im gonna do with em yet" pile. She accomplished this by keeping holes drilled in them and so they never became breeding grounds for yuckys. Anyways when you spoke about your perimeter wall idea it made me think of her as she would cut a tire in half and then put semi circle tires in rows by digging a trench the width of the tire and only deep enough for a few inches to go down into the ground. She would then fill the trench with concrete mix around the points where the tires touched the ground and filled the rest of the trench with dirt, covering the concrete with the dirt as well. If she wanted a more ornate style barrier she'd put a flower pot, also made out of a tire (these are so cute in my opinion) in between every tire arch or every 2. She would also make staggered stepping stones by burying tires lying on their sides halfway into the ground and filling them with concrete. Then if it was me i would take a sledge hammer to the broken granite, marble, etc and use the crushed pieces in the concrete for ornate purposes and the rest around the outside of the steps on the ground, also for ornate purposes. Speaking of ornate my great aunt would paint all the tires white. This wouldn't have been too bad, but she also
    had to paint the rocks white, even the white ones 😂 Im not talking about gravel sized rocks, just larger sized rocks that was everywhere on her property although my grandma, her sister, swore up and down if she could figure out a way to paint the gravel ahe would😂 Needless to say my grandma despised my great aunts rock painting lol. Anyways, i found a video that has most of the things i talked about in it, maybe itll help!❤
