Rural living is great for privacy, or is it?

How about a carload of Girl Scouts selling cookies?
can't imagine any of us getting mad at them, even if we say no.
And who can't use a box of thin mints...
they are so bloody expensive now though.

I remember as a kid driving down lanes with magazine subscription fliers, All the neighbors knew me, all took my fliers, and several knew that I was the guy who plowed their lanes with our tractor in the winter. That was usually good for at least one subscription. Pretty cheap back then.

I was always told one should call first before visiting. That is not the norm where I live now, folks just drop by. If I'm in my hot tub in the back, I am not getting up for the door bell unless I hear sirens.

Would this be subtle enough?

great sign, I'd add a radioactive triangle at the end. No one wants to get nuked.

Try a more serious looking sign, but a true one.

Ya'll know a GATE you open/close with a vehicle remote goes a LONG way toward increasing privacy.

It won't keep out those determine to go ahead past signs on foot, but cuts way down on tourists, meat salesmen, vac salesmen, most religious types and so on.

We're at the end of the county road, and used to have an amazing number of 'tourists' that just wanted to 'see what was up here' on a road that is clearly marked "private drive, no trespassing".

Wife and I considered buying one of these signs. It fits our personality

We had some JW's show up to our house right after we moved in. Not sure what the significance of my question. Never got an answer from them so I made me more curious of what the answer is.

We had one of there temples, churches, not sure what they call it near where I used to live. Building was put up with out windows. Then started noticing that most of there buildings were the same way. No windows

So when they showed up and started there spiel, I asked why there church didn't have any windows?

They handed me there pamphlet, turned on there heals and left. Never been able to get an answer to my question But then, they never once came back either

We have 5 access points into our property. We have 5 locked gates. End of story!

Not so easy when you have farmers that require access and Delivery drivers showing up when no one is home.

I love official signage. Problem is, if your house is on fire, the Fire Department may stop at the sign and not come any closer while they call in for instructions. Same could hold true for others that you want to come in.

@ TnAndy So true. We looked at those gates a while back but we are hoping to downsize soon so we won't be spending on that.
