Nice picture i really like it!!

Love how the fan are positioned to really circulate through the car. It must have worked.

Surprising how intact the seats are with this so close to a road and easily accessible.

Those beds do not look springy at all compared to the older ones.

Or they were going for the bamboo tiki hut design!

That one weaker door didn't make it...

A bad idea for the next Cialis commercial...

Very true on the devaluing of the site. We see so many of these places just rot, hauled to a landfill or just burned that it's such a waste. No question that copper and similar salvage essentially destroys a building.

If they don't reuse the building I hope they salvage the wood. Those solid support beams and the ones above the 2nd level are amazing. I think I will say away from dope_mexican_chick's insta page though...

Motts - was it chilly in there with one of the radiators laying down on the job? OK, I'll show myself out now.

This was probably less traumatic than we think. Prior to the 40's/50's most of the country was very rural. It would have been normal for families outside of the large cities to raise a few animals for their own food needs or trading with other families.

Raw materials used in casket making vary greatly. The Peace Box is made from card-board, and a deluxe coffin for a head of state may be made of solid bronze. Wooden caskets may be assembled from pine boards, or use an expensive hardwood such as cherry or mahogany. The most common American coffin is made from steel. Still others are made of fiberglass.

Most caskets, except for the most simple, contain, in addition to the outer shell, an inner lining. This is typically made of taffeta or velvet. The lining may be backed with a batting material, usually polyester, and cardboard may back the batting.

Other materials used in the manufacture of coffins include steel or other metals for hinges and accessories; rubber, if a gasket is used to seal the coffin; and paint.

It would have been great for this wood to have been reused. You can't even buy quality wood like they would have used anymore.

I know there are so many issues with this, but it would be nice if the states would let licensed scrappers go in and remove wood/doors/fixtures once these are officially abandoned. There are so many board feet of very high quality trim that could be reclaimed and reused.

My first thought seeing the pic is that they were raising birds as one of the therapy programs. Nice craftsmanship and probably built by residents.
