Check Out Our Salvage Expedition at "Gator House" Wahooooo!!!

I had passed by this house and property that sat next to the interstate a billion times. It was a three story house, and from the highway you could see one of the two big ponds that sat next to it. The house looked huge and very rustic and I could only imagine what the inside was like. But in all of my imagination I would never have imagined what I saw when I finally got to see this house up close! The contractor for the new owners was also the volunteer fire chief for the area and a personal friend. We got the heads up that they had scheduled to burn the house down and told that if we wanted to salvage anything from the property we could but we had to leave the firemen a safe way to get to all three floors. Early Saturday morning, (the week before the burn) we met our friend out at the property. When we arrived this is what we saw.
But you won't believe the interior of this house and some unexpected visitors!!!

      @Phoenix Richards-Bingham It was very cool. The new people are putting up a metal building for an antique shop. I probably would have tried to figure out a way to make this one work somehow.
