I found another opportunity to salvage for reuse

This property that had been hidden in the woods was being demolished while making way for a new housing development. I raced the bulldozer to get as much old iron fencing as I could carry off.  Sally intends to use some of it for trellises in the backyard. I was asking the demolition manager about the history of the house and I learned that a family abandoned this house about 1970 and it appears that they never came back for  any of their possessions.  The demolition crew gave me as much time as they could to take out the fencing and I was able to retrieve seven sections.

 Sadness overwhelms you when you look inside...  life possessions scattered all over the floor. There was just no time, to try and save the railing on the loft  or the bathroom mirror, etc.
