$179k in OK, not sure what they were going for here.

Year built: 1985
It was simply abandoned 40 years ago and never finished. The persons who were paying ran out of money?

It's interesting that it's $179K now. Two years ago they were asking $500K. Yeah... no.

40 years vacant and presumably unheated and cooled is not good. I can’t imagine what it would cost to salvage this. I don’t see the vision and I don’t see it as worth fixing. Tear it down and start over.

There are a couple rooms with furniture like someone was sleeping and watching TV there. Huh? Oklahoma is a hard no for me anyway.

We’re starting to look for our last house and I was searching for Elgin, IL but somehow ended up in Oklahoma. The prices were attractive but Oklahoma is never, ever going to happen.pipistrelle wrote: ↑Sun Jun 23, 2024 9:23 pm There are a couple rooms with furniture like someone was sleeping and watching TV there.

Thinking of this house, never do metal siding on a house in Oklahoma. The tornadoes will think it’s a mobile home and target it.

I especially enjoyed the shopping cart with garden hose and the canon behind the recliner. An eclectic mix of furnishings and decor. Quite a tinderbox, though.

The makeshift accomodations are likely from squatters.

The shopping cart sort of makes sense but I can't explain the cannon, and can only assume the suit of armor standing guard is to intimidate people?

My dad had a suit of armor. It was a drink thing too also, if you lowered the chest plate there was a Lazy Susan on the plate and a rack to hold bottles in the back.

The caption on the photo was that the gas flex was pulling 275 amps and measured 1200 degrees. I have to wonder who was brave/stupid enough to take the time to grab a photo and measurements. I would've killed the power and gas and ran. I don't know how much heat flex can take but I think 1200 degrees can't be far off. The only thing keeping that flex from becoming a fireball is a lack of oxygen. It looks like the very not up to code Romex stapled to the floor may run under the back of the cabinet and a wire rubbed bare energizing the whole thing. But it's only a theory.
