Totally hyped for Chris representing himself in court.

Mr Chandler, are you aware you're not wearing pants?

The results of Chris wearing women's clothes to court would be so fucking special I would love to see it. The chances of the judge letting it go are miniscule, I don't know if they hold you to the same standard when you're self representing but if you're an attorney and you don't wear a coat and tie it's pretty much the express line to getting chewed the fuck out. What's really strange to me, is that they actually seem to care more about wearing a tie than a jacket, even though the jacket looks way dressier to me. If a judge did allow it they'd probably be a hippy and make some remark about how Chris is " so brave for transitioning" or some such, and then he'd get BTFO over being accused of being transsexual.

A good theory, but with all that fire and water damage plus it being left with no power/water/heating/AC since last Winter, the cost of bringing it back up to Occupancy has to be astronomical. It's a circa late-60's/early 70's Split-level house that the Chandlers couldn't even sell during the housing heydays of the 90's.

Depending how ironclad the insurance policy is, they may just declare the house a total loss and cut Barb a check for it's seriously hoard and bug-infested value. I doubt Barb has Rob bell representing her on this, so how long can she keep stonewalling the inevitable?

And keep in mind the immense jungle that's growing around it. If they were planning on doing an overhaul of it, they would have cleared all that growth to make room for the renovation crews. It looks more like right now they're just tossing stuff out in order to reach the drywalls and strip it of it's plumbing and other metals before bringing in the bulldozer and raze the whole place. House, garden shed, Gazebo, and Patti's doghouse and all.

Unless the house has tons of asbestos in it or anything that would be worth salvaging, I've seen demolitions where they just bring in the backhoe and just tear down the whole thing, even if there's salvageable stuff inside.

As for Barb, I'm sure she rejected FAR better offers...she probably wanted them to do ALL the repairs to 14BLC while the insurance company declared it a lost and was prepared to give her a check that they could demolish the house and rebuild with.
 
I've seen people bring up asbestos numerous times. It was phased out around 1975 or so...14BC was built in 77', at a time where for the most part, asbestos use was already minimal.

So in essence, Barb is demanding a huge payout regardless of how shitty the house really is?

Where have I heard of a similar situation before?

These pictures are like from the documentary Life After Man(Child).

Actually, 14BC would be interesting as a short term/small scale Life After People type study, but I do not think that the house will be standing long enough in order to complete the study. I'm guessing that it will be torn down eventually, either through its own collapse or some other factor.

Barb doesn't have the wherewithal (mental or fiscal - especially the way the Chandlers waste money) to rebuild the place, but there's no way in hell she's going to have it demolished either, so most likely she'll just leave it to moulder while she and Chris move from their current luxurious insurance rented home into some extremely low rent, shitty accommodation barely better than the ruins of 14BLC. When and if 14BLC is demolished, it will most likely be under orders from the county (I don't remember if Ruckersville is incorporated, but I believe not).

Yeah, Ruckersville, as with most "cities" in Virginia, is not incorporated. Virginia has a weird local government structure with counties and independent cities serving basically the same functions. As Ruckersville is in a more rural area, it will likely take longer for the county to order 14BC brought down than it would if it were in, for example, Arlington County.

I was just talking about the state of Chris's house with a friend of mine, and I suddenly realized something that may be kind of critical. I'd almost forgotten that 14BLC is one of those houses where the downstairs is actually partly underground (I think someone in the thread called it "split-level"?) to keep the lower rooms cooler.
Click to expand...
The fact that 14BLC has an entry floor midway between two proper floors is what makes it a split level, not that the lower floor is below grade. A lot of split levels have below grade lower floors on one or more sides (even lower than 14BLC with isn't very below grade at all), but not all of them.
With that being the case, would that then mean that when the house was doused by firehoses, the water had nowhere to leak out and was just left to pool in the bottom?

It was built with adequate foundation drainage (or it wouldn't have lasted this long). Whether or nor the Chandlers maintained those drains…? I wouldn't worry about it, though, because the home got wet enough from the fire hoses without needing to become an indoor cement pond.

That's extremely unlikely. While 14BLC does have its own particular (and particulate) hazards, asbestos probably isn't one of them.
or anything that would be worth salvaging,

The copper is worth salvaging. Chris could buy a lot of legos with what's sitting in the walls at 14BLC.

If it's the owner having the demolition done, and they hire a crew of amateurs, and they don't give a shit about salvage, and the local waste disposal laws are very lax, maybe. But even then the demolition crew will probably take a day to strip it (as a little bonus to themselves - hell, they may even include salvage rights in their bid).

But that's not the case with 14BLC; it's going to be torn down by order of the county or some such, not Barb, and there are procedures necessary for that. It's going to be gutted first.

Yeah, 14BLC could very well sit there mouldering for years before it finally goes down depending on how aggressive Greene County is (and how tenacious Barb is).

Do you really think there's any copper left at this point? I mean, aside from Chris neighbors knowing that the house is sitting empty, many people online all over the country do, too. Fuck, there's a thread where someone set up a time lapse camera for a day and all sorts of people walked by. Personally, I do not think it's the Chandlers that have been digging through the front yard dumpster. :ween::ween::ween::ween::ween::ween::ween::ween::ween::ween::ween::ween::ween::ween:

Well, I haven't witnessed a ton of home demos, but I remember seeing a small but looks-to-be-still-serviceable kitchen with spices and other dry condiments on the shelf...and then it was gone. The house wasn't like 14BLC, it was just in an area with rising land value, with other homes within a mile radius being torn down left and right.
