I had a beautiful 1920s cottage-style house, maybe Craftsman-style. I repainted it inside and out, and sanded the hardwood floor in the living and dining rooms. Woman approaches me and said she wanted to rent it for "Mama", a retired teacher. Sounded good until I went by to collect the first month's rent. In addition to "Mama", there was a daughter with three boys under ten, and two adult males.
I'll skip the usual drama, but when I finally kicked them out I found that the gas (gas water heater) service had been off for three months. Electricity had been off for two. No drain in the house would flow water. They cooked on a charcoal grill in the dining room, leaving a large charred circle in the oak flooring. The living room floor they had destroyed by dragging furniture (legs broken off, sharp screws protruding from the bottom) across it and leaving gouges a quarter inch deep. Windows were broken in every room.
When they left they left all that worthless furniture and all of their filth behind. I filled 72 large black garbage bags with their offal. There was just really no place to start in fixing the place up. But thanks to divine intervention from a merciful God I didn't have to. While I was pondering what to do, I got an unsolicited offer from a realty company for my two lots. A seven-story hotel now sits on the site.

Today's Featured Article - Seeing an Old Friend - by Joe Evans. Dad had a concrete contracting business starting in 1960. One of his first pieces of equipment was a Ferguson TO-35 with a Davis loader. Dad replaced the TO-35 with a MF 202 Workbull, essentially an industrialized Ferguson 35 I am told. Dad bought the 202 new in 1962, and I recall quite clearly going to the dealer with him to sign for it.
