Put some wheels under it, I'll pull it with my CTD!

Actually got to pull a house down with my CTD. House across street burned just before hurricane Ike, We wrapped a cable around the remains and pulled it to the ground with my truck, they were trying to minimize the amount of flying debris during the storm. Wished I'd videod it!

A friend of mine had a couple of old trailer houses that were on a piece of land he bought that he tried for quite some time to give away, without success. Finally he ran an ad in the paper selling them for $50 OBO, and had them gone in less than a week, he said people were calling non-stop wanting them. Sometimes it's easier to get legit people when you sell an item rather than give it away. Try putting it on CL for sale for like 50 bucks and see what happens.

Plus I’d most likely forget to lock the shop with all that beer in the Beererator.

Man ... you really know how to sugar-up a deal .

Well if you really wanted the lumber B.E.R.T. or not . I know this old fat guy with a icebox full of shiner, a 35' goosneck and a 09 3500 to pull it to Houston . I'm not up to tearing this thing down but once a truck driver always a truck driver.

You never know, out in Lubbuck or up in OK that might be considered a manison. You might wanna run it on Craig's List up there and ask a couple of thousand for it.

Now the add keeps getting flagged and removed. I guess I’ll have to repost and this time put a price of a few hundred on it. It seems that people can’t believe that something does not cost anything.

not necessarily... living in alaska, perhaps he's more concerned with freezing and just goes for a nip of bourbon to keep him thawed.

Tell him to send the cousin over to pick it up.
