Free house- by Wade

Dad woke the boys up early one Saturday morning, packed us into the blue station wagon (the one that was 2 cars that had been cut in half and welded together) and hauled us to The Palmer's old house. Dad had been given this house by his friend Alan Palmer. According to Chad and Dyke, dad thought we could go to the house and strip it of all of it's 2X4's and then take it down brick by brick. Then the boys would sit on a street corner and sell the old house off, brick by brick. Dad did tell us it had a swimming pool which instantly increased it's street cred.
We arrived, and the street cred imploded. The house was made of cinder blocks and was not ever fit for human inhabition. I remember walking up the stairs, the walls weren't even sheet rocked. at the top of the stairs was found "Donny and Marie" and "Oak ridge boys" 8 track tapes, which turned out to be the only treasures pulled from the house. Once up stairs we got a full view of the "pool". More like a Cement pond, the Palmer's had run out of utility money and the garbage had not been picked up for what looked like a year. They had piled the last years garbage into the cement pond till it was filled to the brim.
It seems we made more than one trip out to the free house but our attempt at making money off of the cinder block house was soon abandoned.
