Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

         On March 17,  2004,  our wholly  owned  subsidiary  Tyler  Construction
Company, Inc., sold 16,000 feet of 6-inch natural gas gathering pipeline located
in Pleasants and Tyler Counties,  West Virginia for $70,000.  Tyler Construction
also sold  30,096  feet of 4-inch  pipeline  located in  Pleasants  and  Ritchie
Counties,  West  Virginia for  $130,000.  The buyer in both  instances was Triad
Energy  Corporation of Reno,  Ohio.  Following the sale, we retain 16.3 miles of
6-inch pipeline in Tyler County.

         The sale price was determined by  negotiations  between the parties and
was considered fair and reasonable by Tyler Construction. Of the total proceeds,
$161,391 was used to pay off the bank debt of the  pipelines and the balance was
used as operating capital.
