Planet expertise needed for CL ad

[Bob Dole]

So Bob Dole just bought what he feels is a lovely 16 acres of NE Texas real estate. Tons of deer and feral hog sign, situated pretty much in the middle of nothing. There is a neighbor on the tract to the south, but not close enough that it is going to be any sort of issue.

Where CP comes in: There is an uninhabitable mobile home on the property that needs to go the **** away. Bob Dole would call the Red Hill Volunteer Fire Department and ask them if they needed some practice, if not for the fact that the resulting fire would damage at least 3 pecan trees estimated to be 80 years old. The thing has been abandoned as best as Bob Dole can tell since 1994, so vandals and animals have taken their toll--and Bob Dole has zero interest in doing anything but making it disappear. Surely there is someone who would be interested in the scrap value of the frame and wiring in exchange for just making the damned thing go away.

Bob Dole is appealing to the awesome collective imagination of The Planet to compose a craigslist ad that will make this zero-sum (for Bob Dole) project a reality. Help a clueless old man write an attention grabbing ad that will result in its removal. (Or at least generate some funny email responses.)

And your CL ad will be an invitation for someone to gut it for copper if you aren't careful.

I really need photos to embrace this project, but I am willing to help.

Hire someone to come in with a payloader, dig a hole, then demolish it with same payloader and cover it back up.

A mobile home becomes a safety hazard once its not upright. How is mobile home's foundation looking?

I'd make in a pimp greenhouse for herbs. Such as Parsley, Basil, Dill, and pot and stuff.

Judging by his description of the shape, they are flat.

Would not even matter.. If he is getting that type of land, he will either be getting a tractor or can borrow one.. Drag it, tires or axel wont matter.. Then burn it or have people come scrap it out and burn or bury it..

Maybe they would take it for evidence

Has Bob Dole actually closed on the property? If no, stipulate that it be removed/disposed of by the owner before closing.
If Bob Dole already closed, is there a reason it wasn't dealt with prior to close?

Have Matt Cassel throw a football at it. It'll be off of your field and hidden somewhere on a bench almost immediately.

With out seeing it the best case would be that the axels and tongue were on it and you could slap tires on it and actually get it off the property. Don't really have enough facts though. It could have trees growing through the floor for all I know. That's probably the worse case. Maybe. He saids he was going to post a picture so maybe we'll get a better idea of the situation when he does.

Agreed ...... Naturally, advertise it free for removal.The frame can be used by farmers hauling big bails of hay. The Amish & Mennonite community's close to us are just nuts using old mobile homes for this.
