Those trap houses at Sparta, can they be fitted with eyelets and lifted or dragged out? Are they reinforced concrete? Can a forklift get the blades under one and just pull it out? If Illinois wants to make Sparta a retirement home, I doubt they'd mind if someone cleared out the castings.
I heard from a very reliable source that they have been sold and they are shipping them to Greece.The only hold up it they can only pay $60 per day till they are paid...... so it might be a while.
