This thread Will never die!

This one is pretty nuts. Its a smallish farm house thats about 100 years old and ate up by termites and such, not worth that much. As I understand the owner payed 5k for the house where it is and has to move it about 40-50 miles so is paying a bunch to have it moved plus a second person she has to pay (the tree guy I work with who also has/runs a crane) to remove the entire roof from the house and move it seperate to avoid about 20k in expense for moveing lines and such then get it in place and put it all back togeather as well as putting up a new foundation for it. The are probably going to be paying around 60k+ by the time its all said and done and still have to repair the stuff done to move it, like cutting holes about 3' x 5" all the way through the house in about 4 places for supports to go through and bolt into the walls and so on. In our area you could buy a decent newish house of similar size on a couple of acres for that price if not less, but its a paycheck for a while. :dunno:

 

Yeah cost of living around here isnt bad at all but pay isnt that great either especialy unless you are realy specialized. I gathered they poured the foundation yesterday or some such and we still have a few days before can jack it up not to mention a week or so of tearing off the roof and cutting it loose from the walls and moveing it in probably 4 sections to a trailer. So far its still setting on the foundation and Im not likely to be in on it when its actualy got wheels under it but I tend to try and avoid being in the path of moveing objects that much bigger than me. lol

 

Thank you Tracy...

Very Much....

 

Well, the boy came home from school today and let us know there was a new noise on the monkeyman farm. Ouw younger female had goat had her kids today! This was her first ones and one of the twins didnt make it but the other one seems to be doing well. Her older sister should pop anytime this week so we now have one baby and should have from 1 to 3 more by next week! The bunnies are also starting to produce babies for us and they are out running around and trying to dodge the cats.
Pretty cool day today all in all.

 

Goat boinger.
