Abandoned sights.

Once you have come to Montello you'll find some Abandoned sights like this one however there are others out there in the landscape that is really is an ugly sight, (As seen on Geoff's blog) myself I would like very much to see alot of these sights cleaned up but I haven't come across any landfills in the area. With the aid of an old '63 ford 2 ton dump truck that looks like it belongs in the scrap yard but is a good runner for it's age and someday in the future with the (help of some future Montelloians) would like to get together some day and one by one get these sights cleaned up.

Building Ideas.

Back in '93 I bought 90 pallets at interstate brick of this type of block they are seconds and got them for $10 a pallet with 40 block on each pallet and at that time I had this notion of building a good sized garage with them. Well ideas and times have changed and that isn't going to happen at least not on the residence, after building a small structure (way back then) I still have 48 pallets left and have been thinking about getting them out of here and transporting these block to the land and build a structure with them, It's alot of work involved but I thought it would be a good start on something that I already have to build with. I do realise to some folks this may not be a very GREEN way to go as for as conservation maybe concerned cause of the energy it took to produce this type of product however that being said the energy that took to make these block has already been spent. OK didn't really mean to get into to much detail on this and just wanted to share some thoughts...
