I've been in places worse than that.. I remember this house that was alone out in the woods and had growth from the outside coming inside, and needless to say, the power was never turned off for some unknown reason, and the house looked like it was abandoned for at least 10 years.. We went there at night a few times, and the garage was soo filled with junk up to the ceiling that you had to walk through to get into the house seeing how the front door was boarded up.. It was a great location to film a horror movie.. Like one of those early 80s Low B slashers..
A few years after, I remember driving by and seeing the woods around it gone and half the house was torched..

No ceiling fans.. Ceiling light fixtures, typical globe fixtures that had no globe, just bare light bulb.. don't remember if any lights were already on. I don't think so, had to turn the light switches on..

Interesting how just about everything in the house is gone except for the Lagunas and a few toilet fixtures (and that hot water heater). I didn't even notice any regular light fixtures. I wonder why no one took the fans (even those taking copper)?

Hmm, that probably is one of the many reasons why I never see ceiling fans on the side of the road anymore.... Those are smaller and still hanging.. They figured it's probably not worth the couple of bucks.. But then again I think they would need to take the motors apart to get to the copper windings out.. May not be worth it, even just found off the side of the road.. You put a TV set out on to the curb in these parts, you come back outside within minutes later, and see the cover had been taken off, tube busted, copper yoke gone, power cord cut off and gone, along with anything else that has copper windings..

Some people go CRAZY over copper in places that get abandoned.
