    these trailer house "deals" just keep getting better and better...

    Now just have to bring your own wheels and hitch as well. Windchill yesterday was -20 to-30F but, hey its "free", climb on down there and put them all on and its ours. Whoop-ee!! I wonder how many of these old crates just get torched to get them out of the way. In most rural places in my state, no one would care one way or the other...

    Is that an animal carcass in the front yard of the pic? I hope those scavengers haven't holed up in the building.

    Yeah, looks like what's left after a deer carcass after you take off the quarters and the backstraps. Obviously, whatever critters have picked the bones pretty clean.

    Breakage- I'm sure most abandoned buildings in rural SD have some sort of "scavengers" holed up in them. I certainly wouldn't try to rehab this crate for humans. I suspect it will get burned in the end. Maybe someone will salvage the alum siding and roofing (looks like it) before it happens, maybe not...

    That thing looks longer then 52 ft also. Don't get stopped by DOT hauling that bad boy anywhere.


    Personally...I'd give to the fire dept an let them torch it for training. Probably to much work for the person getting rid of it tho..rather wait by the phone for some sucker to come along an get it.


    Thatr's what I call a 5 dollar job. 3 bucks for fuel an 2 for a lighter or matches.
