Maybe you could modify the inside. Remove the drywall or paneling and replace it with plexiglass. Put a sign outside that says "Bat Observation Center" Sell tickets for $25 a pop. Just trying to think outside the box and turn lemons into lemonade... I'd love some.

I would not give a warranty for it! I offered one,,,,,,,,,, 10 YEAR........ \ Maybe you could modify the inside. I tried to convince "them" to do that on a Nation park job, but because the home was donated by the family of the original owner(or anyone for that matter) The (the NP's) had to maintain the building or it could be reclaimed by the downers.. If you can provide a few more detailed photos I could give more of a definate answer. What details would you like to see?,,,,,,Remember the "key" is modular construction..... If you know or have looked at later model "modular" homes in the past,,,,,you can see every detail from this photo,,,

I would start with taking off the gutters so I could see where they are gitting in on the top, than I would use bat netting or cones on the "active" openings and caulk wire or what ever is appropriate to the rest, this dont look that bad the structure looks like it is in good shape, I dont like doing the homes that need repair.
Some will wait for what they want, But this is much more slicker, WORK REAL HARD for what you want, and you will get it much more QUICKER ...

LT GREY, I knew better than to bite that initial bait! It didn't have enough muskrat gland in it. Overall, an excellent teaching thread.

The proper term for the materials installed is 18" #1 wood SHINGLES,,,,,,,The are not my first chose in building materials,,,,,, Wood shingle often need to be trimmed to insure proper installation,, You must determine the moisture content of the material and "gap" the wood accordingly.... The material must be examined for imperfections (bad saw cuts, staining, and cracking ect. ect) If you don't know how to install the material,,, I is time consuming,,,, I had "spece'd" the job using a different product,,,but the owner saw a home,,,,,liked the "Look" and asked to have this material installed,,,,, Chewing in,,,,,, Not on this one,,,,,,,,
