Shack to be demolished this week. (image © 2005 fugitive247) [see more]
I was looking at the info for the image above on Flickr. It states that the pic was taken January 1, 1980. That can’t be correct. No way, no how. Yes, the tree, a lovely Eastern Redbud (Cercis canadensis), is much taller now. But 26 years taller? I think not. I’ll be taking some new pics of the property this week for some before & after material. Comparison will be easier then.
Anyway, that shack is coming down, baby! It’s structurally unsound. There’s too much that needs to be done on the property, and Pat and I will probably have at least one goofy with us whenever we’re out there working. That decrepit eyesore is a liability where safety is concerned. I’ve got a saw (nope, no chainsaw… yet), a heavy-duty tow rope and a big honkin’ van. The fire pit I started in late November is located just below the image’s bottom edge. Need I say more? Also, all that rusted crap by the tree is going to the property’s side access about a quarter mile back.
nintendo being the nice people they are decided to give the public some concept art. This one here is some flaming moster thingy sticking its tung out. Not to bad, lets hope this one made the final cut.

Xbox Live Hits 60% of Gamer Market!
The population of Xbox live users has BOOMED since the launch of the 360. With a quick number crunch 60% of all owned 360’s are on Xbox Live. A HUGE improvement on the original 10% on the original xbox. Why you ask, two reasons. Xbox live market place, and Xbox arcade. With 30 million Market
The property is gorgeous, but needs a major dose of TLC. The last resident was the son of the former owner. Said son and entourage were not well liked within the community. The land was abused in many ways, including having been used as a salvage yard. The house… I really don’t want to elaborate. I will say that several of the long-time neighbors have cautioned Pat and I to be wary of “getting stuck” when we get rid of all the crap within. Upon cursory inspection we noticed an early 90’s calendar from a nearby Missouri liquor store (this is a dry county), many pieces of assorted unemployment and public assistance info, and an empty prescription bottle from one of my former fave pharmaceutical manufacturers: Lemmon (the fine folks who cranked out Quaaludes).
Since no one has “officially” lived there in ages, the house is in shambles. Still won’t know all that requires basic repairs until it’s empty. The list so far:
* replace one exterior door
* board up other exterior door
* board up holes in exterior walls
* cover broken windows
* check electrical wiring
* upgrade fuse box and outlets
* install new well pump
* check and flush septic & plumbing
* install new water heater
* install new major kitchen appliances
