If for some reason you want it in slightly better shape, make it empty but not abandoned. Someone inherits from poor rural relatives, and it is on the edge of a woods with good hunting, and they are hunters, so they pay electricity and property taxes and do really minimal maintenance like taping screens to use a couple of times a year for hunting.
Also metal roofs can hold up forever, though they don't always. So you can plausibly have the roof in good shape if you need to, even if it is abandoned.

People daring to be well-spoken and literate in public! It's a brave new world.

Word.
I like that it's just one-word, though. Very nice. Though I also like that I was able to vote "No" on cilantro and olives GENERALLY, not just in guac and muffalettas. Because that's my feeling all around.
Hey, hivemind! I've been applying for jobs like mad (currently have 4 tabs open for jobs I'm applying for), and some of them ask for salary requirements. Do I send what I'd like to make, the minimum I would accept or do I shoot for the moon and add that it's negotiable?
Thoughts?
