I recommend scraping loose paint and sealing all painted surfaces as they most likely contain lead.

John, John John...
THANK YOU! All kidding aside, I am going to incorporate this photo into my defect recognition / report writing class. The exercise will be NOT to write about something bad, but describe something GOOD in the photo. I always take a photo of something horrendous, and challenge the students to observe and write something good. It is truly an observational challenge, and a writing challenge. We then discuss what the students write. It's fun, and truly educational. |

It really was a nice house until they had a big family reunion one day and a chili cooking contest. The next morning the photos shows what the house looked like. No one seems to know what happened.
NOTE: East Texas Rednecks cannot smell their own toots... To them, all that gas smells like roses... Everyone had to move to the nicer part of town.... ![]() They made the move just in time to put up the Christmas decorations. ![]() To save money, they have figured out a way to cook on the grill in the same location that they.... well, you know what I mean. Well, that is all the news I got for now from East Texas, where they even name our dogs "BUBBA".... And... always remember, to us in the deep south, the term REDNECK is still considered a compliment to each other. Ya'll come back and sit a spell when you can. We be havin a bowl of chili for ya, when ya come.
