Bed of Straw

thomas burgess

the satin looked good but it was cheap/i dont think that thay went the extra mile and embalmed the poor souls to save on time and money only if the body was shiped out to keep the smell down for the family/ the box is made of pine it would last about 2 years in the ground thats why alot of the old grave are sunk in/ i came across a casket next to a grave i was diging years ago it was buried1880 the box was cherry and wallnut it looked like the day it was put in the ground it was unreal

Goodbye Lonely Chair

thomas burgess

the buildings were built with old school carpentry and masson skills and solid oak and the best hard woods fresh cut from the forest thay were built to last hundreds of years not120 150 it would cost multi millions to try to copy and replace the buildings /let alone the cost for the skilled labor to do the work/we have plenty of parking lots /emty lots dont make jobs /or put roofs over peoples heads.give someone a place to live.and save the old woman and have her stay arounde for another 100 or 200 years look at the cost to replace them in 100 or so years verses the cost of the interest on the dollar/to repair them
