Marsborough, AL — Darvin Lundquist, local electrician and town council member, recently sold the floor of his garage for $20,000.
Lundquist, 40, of Marsborough, said he noticed an odd shaped oil stain on his garage floor last week, when he was leaving to go to a volunteer fire department practice burn of a Wiccan church.
“It was the darndest thing,” said Lundquist. “There was a stain on the floor that looked exactly like God looking over President Bush’s shoulder. I could tell it was God, because he was talking to the President. I immediately took some Polaroids to show the guys at the department.”
Lundquist then placed the floor up for auction on e-bay. Friends helped him get the item ready for the auction. It was a son-of-a-gun to get it out of the ground and onto the truck, but with the help of my neighbors and some of the other volunteer firemen we did it!”
The removal of the concrete slab and truck rental ran approximately $30,000, which Lundquist had to pay. His neighbors did not donate anything toward the expense.
“It’s OK with me,” said Lundquist, “I’m just happy that lots of people will get to see it now.” The slab was purchased by the congregation of a local Pentecostal church.
Lundquist said he plans on recouping his expense money by playing the “big” dollar slots at the nearby Choctaw Casino.
