Typically if a house looks like that on the outside, it's hell on Earth on the interior. Even when you watch a show like Hoarders, the outside of the building is often somewhat maintained to give off a better impression. It's very clear that Bob was the only one concerned about what the neighbors thought. The resident hoarder and slow-in-da-mind have only exacerbated the overwhelming hoard problem.

So let's use the fridge as an example. Say Chris woke up today and decided to take a break from the lovequest and get one thing taken off the family property. He'd have to arrange a trash pickup, borrow a truck and physically move it to the dump himself, or call a local business or service that specializes in fridge disposal. Pretty reasonable, easy things to accomplish but for Chris it would be hellish agony to get rid of something he's already used to ignoring. That's just one thing on the front lawn, so imagine how long and drawn out the entire cleanup process would be if Chris EVER even started?

The Chandlers have 2 options:
1. Ignore the hoard, like usual
2. Call up Lifetime TV or TLC to send cameras and a cleanup crew

Is there hoarder help that doesn't require a TV episode documenting it? If so Chris should seek it. If Barb and Chris got some help, the last few years of her life may be better for both her and Chris.
 
Oh dear lord

RED ALERT RED ALERT! The hoard has breached the barrier and has contaminated the outer area of its cage! Requesting for SWAT help immediately!

I gotta' get a move on then! It'll suck if all this buildup happens and it's gone. :c

As much as we'd all like to see the Chandlers on Hoarders. I think that would make Barb deny even more help. It should be private help.

You forget the fact that every time Bob or Chris moved even one dirty sweater on any of those piles, Barb would turn into a shrieking mushroom-cloud and threaten to kill herself. She's so far gone that even Chris can sense something isn't right about her.
 
Refer to my post in the Bob's Filing Cabinet thread... it's likely that Rocky will have the congregation at least partially pay for Junk-B-Gone and Orkin once Barb is gone.
 
The hoard has come outside now. The house and yard's condition seems to have exponentially worsened. I've always wondered how people live like this. It's obvious by comparing your own yard to the surrounding ones that you are a lazy slob. I hope these 2 don't have questions in their minds as to why no relatives come by.
 
Damn, what a shithole. The hoard has filled the house and is spilling into the yard. I bet their neighbors are pissed.

I forsee the immediate post-Barb era to have Chris in extreme Mooch Mode. He will get some help in getting the estate affairs in order and maybe some cleanup, but Chris will always see that inch and try to grab a mile out of it, wearing out the altruism of his congregation quickly.

"Thank you for helping to clean the bug-infested piles of junk from my house. Hmmmh. Yeah. Now if any of you LAY-DEEZ would like to fully know and welcome my most sincere and heartfelt appreciations, you can strip and lay down on my bed over thay-ur."

Oh, they'll be pissed all right when they want to move away, but no prospective buyers can get a bank loan to buy it because their houses have plummeted in value.

If only Rocky was actually a positive influence, she'd do just that, come hell or high water, Barb or no Barb.
 
All those dead Bothans.

For a five second roll-by clip of one of the redneck-ist lawns of all south of the Mason-Dixon line.

What a depressing galaxy we live in sometimes.

:heart-empty:

(I do find it ironic that every single other lawn in that video is nicely manicured as far as I can see and then . . . shit hole central, 14BC is all it's glorious disrepair.)
 
Holy crow, it's somehow even worse than I anticipated. Maybe it was the refrigerator sitting in the yard that brought the sinking feeling in my stomach.

Reminds me of childhood.
 
I cant imagine all of the large vermin, snakes, and critters that jungle attracts to the house. Their home must be inundated with more infestations than just bugs.

Trolls?
 
My grandmother used to live across the road from a lady who obviously was hoarding. She had several cars parked in front of her house and a trailer in back that stored a ton of God knows what.

The difference between her and the Chandlers: She kept it clean. Her yard was always mowed, house repairs kept up from what we could see, but I believe as her health declined, her sons did the work. This would take some time to try to convince them to change their ways, if it didn't fall upon deaf ears.

I wouldn't honestly be surprised if neighbors haven't complained yet, or a trickle only has gone through to the city to get the place cleaned up.

Ruckersville is a census-designated place and unincorporated, so it would be Greene County.
