Re: Check This Out
Looks ready for 10 gallons of gas and a road flare, that should remove the hideous blemish from the hillside rather effectively.
To make a long story short...kill it with fire.

Re: Check This Out
Bet it leaks like a sieve. And if it doesn't yet, I bet finding and fixing the problem will be costly at the least. High upkeep. I remember trying to keep a boat deck varnished.

Re: Check This Out
Did anyone check out any of the links to other houses. They are to the left of the article.
