Next I found a metal box with a dead wire in it, also covered with that lovely silver stickiness.

Shawn Ackerman keep the pedal to the metal, usually when your feeling exhausted is when your almost there.

This reminds me of a house I sold a few years ago and the sellers could not get a metal bed frame out of the second floor bedroom. 

The way to test it is to hold onto any metallic part of the unit whilst it's in operation and touch something else, like the sink, fridge, cooker, etc.

@Matt F. even if you just sat on it there are still some costs (taxes, insurance-maybe) and right now scrap metal prices are so low (add to it that new plumbing is less copper and more PVC & pex) breaking in might not be worth it.Then there is the question of how long to sit on it as there is no guarantee that a supposedly up and coming area will come up to the point where fixing up is profitable.

Folks,It is possible to build a Passivhaus compliant home (energy consumption <=15kWh/m^2 per annum) using off the shelf materials with a marginal increase in construction costs (~10-15% ... less as the workforce becomes more skilled).Primary heating and cooling of such a home can be accomplished via the ERV/HRV system with a small auxiliary heating source (there's a house here that has a 1500w auxiliary coil to provide additional heat to the fresh air supply during the coldest part of winter ... that's essentially replacing your furnace with a hair dryer).Even a near-Passivhaus construction (or retrofit) can lower energy costs 70% or more in comparison to the conventional (or even R2000) house being built in Canada these days.  

This property is pretty much ready to go (very close to turn key) the wood floors need polyurethane or carpet, roof is metal it needs to be painted and the grass needs to be cut and bushes trimmed.

The tenant claimed she ripped her arm open on the metal railing whilst opening the mailbox.They sent pictures of her arm which looked like she'd been in a knife fight.I went and looked at the supposed accident scene and it was apparent their claim was ludicrous.
