amazing is an understatement.

but it IS affordable California housing! I can hear the ad now—”bad credit? no problem! no job? no problem! have we got the house for you!”

what I first noticed was what appears to be a 100ft yellow extension cord hanging out near the service box. What’d they plug into? Something had to have run the 2 fridges, microwave etc.

was afraid you’d found a freshly dead cat in the mix…now I understand the cat is just ticked at your use of the cat sleeping arena (read that as anywhere a cat could possibly snooze).

you are so good at walking around with a camera WITHOUT bumping into stuff – even in a trashed cabin…and weren’t you afraid someone was going to jump out of a dark corner — been watching too many CSI/Criminal Minds episodes.
Which kitty is this? (sorry if I’m confused) How’s the Tai budda book going? ;0
I liked the 1st shot of the cabin. It must of been a real nice home once. :(
& thx for the very nice comment on the B&W combo. Made my day.

Ooooh… I got scared just watching that video. The cabin reminds me of something out of LOST. And was that a pink bra on the floor or something else?

You’re mighty brave and cool, PA.

It looks like my house from the renovation so I have to think they’re refurbishing the place.

I would be afraid to do that, or is it in an isolated spot and you didn’t have a racing heart? Nice haul, it all looks to be in great shape.

I guess I should post the free green pvc pipe I got when we got a crazy deal on a new chipper/vacuumer. Our pecan leaves don’t stand a chance now.

Tova looks fake the way she is laying there! She’s the best deal in the bunch even though she is the non-free item.

It still looks like someone lives there, or at the very least, moved out quickly. I think you were verybrave to walk in. Are you telling us that you got the cat out of the trash? Or is it a trashy cat? Or the cat just likes to sleep with trash? Or….

……….
Installment Three of my series examining the “Secret, Feral and Concrete”

Trashed and Feral Cabin

I believe this cabin must have been the family residence on what was once an avocado and citrus grove. It’s amazing how small homes were at one time. Laura Ingall’s “Little House ~~on the Prairie~~ in the Big Woods” is palatial compared to the family cabins preserved in our hills. Do check out the fireplace. The ceilings couldn’t have been higher then seven feet, maybe less.
