    I think its so sad that peoples love and hard work along with hours of dedication end up in the corner unfinished and abandoned. It is a kind of art as it tells a story.

    I saw such a place once in Perth,-- A smallish yard by the side of a river. It had many of these abandoned projects in all materials. Rusted Roberts in long grass were every where. It was know locally as the "Grave yard of dreams"

    Jack,

    There was a similar place on Terminal Island in Los Angeles-Long Beach harbor that many called "Trimaran City". There were acres and acres of projects "under-constuction" or abandoned. Many had become full time residences of the builders with shacks built under and around them. Few boats ever saw the water. I believe it was cleared and paved over for a container terminal.

    Kind of sad.

    Now that is ugly. Looks like nothing more than a box with a red square in it to me;)
