Greetings all,
Sorry to those on auto-email that just got a bunch of emails. I wanted to share a bunch of pictures that Mitch and I took over the weekend as we went into the old farmhouse. For the most part, the inside seems pretty stable, but has some squirrels making nests out of old clothes and magazines that line the floor. It has been suggested that this property poses an "attractive nuisance" liability, and would be in Grandma's best interests to tear down the house. This would aide in 1) cleaning up the property and 2) discourage the vandals that make their way through the farm from time to time. My opinion on that is if it doesn't look like an abandoned farm site it won't be treated as such.
At any rate, please peruse the various pictures in the posts. Ideally we can clean out whatever might have value to the family and look into dis-assembly in the near future. I realize winter is upon us (it's sure cold in the Twin Cities today) so we might have to wait until Spring to do much, but let's get thinking along these lines.
See you all soon,
Matt
