Isn't their insurance company being charged a standby fee for every day the dumpster sits out in front of the house? I mean the companies that rent those out don't let you keep them for as long as you want.

I don't know a lot about insurance shit, but I do know a thing or two about how large companies like State Farm handle certain things. They tend to have service contracts for that sort of stuff if it's something they need frequently. In other words, they pay a flat annual fee to the dumpster rental company and get unlimited or heavily discounted dumpster usage for that year. Maybe insurance is different because of the way policies work and whatnot. I don't know.

Personally, I'm still convinced that's just Chris and/or Barb overreacting. Considering they think anyone who doesn't sweep in and solve their problems is a naughty person, it stands to reason that they'd consider simply estranged relatives as mortal enemies.

I really doubt Chris was exaggerating when he said his family wanted nothing to do with him or the Hoard Matron. While Borb and Chris did/do have a tendency to blow things out of proportion, they have always been adept at alienating people. Between Barb demanding that people treat her autistic spawn like royalty and being lawsuit happy, Bob going along with said craziness and his willingness to file the necessary paperwork for it to happen and Chris' not knowing how to act around other people and his own gigantic sense of entitlement I'd say after the funeral his family took one last look at Charb, said "good riddance" and haven't bothered to get in touch with them since.

The Hoard releases vapors which cause people to forget what they were doing when they draw near. It's a defensive mechanism.

There was a real story about a hoarder about 15 years ago, he was massively obese and lived in a small apartment full of garbage and food wrappers, and they discovered he basically suffocated from the foul air. He had also 'grown' into his recliner over time.

Is that what I think that is??

It's a shame that this nice little enclosed porch wasn't used for anything but more hoard. The Chandlers had a nice house but never appreciated it. Bob must've lost the will to care because at one time he or someone who lived there kept it up. I would have loved to grow up in a house as nice as 14 BC could have been.

That sort of reminds me of the Collyer brothers.

There is an image of one of the brothers dead amongst newspapers and filth but I thought it was kinda graphic.

Maybe I'm just getting ripped off, but storage units are pricey. I just have a small one and that things runs me north of $100 a month.

I'm willing to bet that over the past 6 months, they've spent enough money on a storage unit for their old ruined furniture that they could have just purchased a nice new set of furniture.

IIRC, one brother also booby-trapped the place so the other couldn't leave. I now have the image of :snorlax: setting up traps in the Hoard to "protect mah treshurs!"

OT: I watched a show on them, apparently there was rumors that they were hording money and priceless antiquities etc. because their parents were wealthy so some neighborhood kids tried to break into the place. Afterwards they got even more paranoid, boarded up the windows and the brothers placed booby traps. The younger brother died due to one of the booby traps triggering causing the horde to fall on and suffocate him, while the elder brother died a few days later from a heart attack, blind and confined to a chair in an alcove in the middle of the horde. It's a sad way to go.

Charb have similarities to the Collyer Bros. mainly due to being a pair of deranged, paranoid hoarders. The biggest difference is that the Collyer Bros. were actually well educated siblings, just extremely paranoid to the point that they snapped and became secluded hoarders. (Their paranoia could have probably been treated today).

In Charb's case they're just too egotistical, entitled and stupid with a side of paranoia that came later due to the aforementioned problems.
