Ooohhh!  FIRE!  FIRE!  I hadn't thought of that option, though the place 
does strike me as too far gone to mess with fixing up.  Maybe you could 
get some tax kick back for doing that?  It would at least be fun to cook 
something over it, but given all the talk of mouse poo and filth, that 
would not be a good idea.  Throw some stuff on your grill a hundred feet 
away, and give your commendable hard working local fire fighters a high 
five and a burger when it's done  :)
