Containment Random Thoughts & Questions

Well there was a fire, and even if insurance fixed that, there is still shit all over inside. We can also be pretty certain they don't care about maintenance, so there may be leaks given the age of the house. All the shit you gotta do to get the house sellable again is going to bring down the price, right?
I think it was pretty well repaired after the fire. That was pretty much a fresh start, both in terms of the general appearance of the house and the damage the hoard had on the house (pet shit and things).

They'll do some more damage to the house up until Barb kicks the bucket, but not enough to justify letting Chris live in it indefinitely for $100/month.
 
The idea of a $100/month mortgage payment is hilarious. No bank would accept that. Right now we estimate Chris' mortgage payment is at least $550, and that's assuming they got a great interest rate. It's more likely in the $600-700 range. Possibly higher.
 

Cineplex cinemas in Canada are now holding Lego Dimensions tournaments every few months where kids can compete on the big screen with the best Lego battlers in each city for Lego prizes.

I really, really hope that there aren't similar Lego Dimensions tournaments in the United States, or at least not in Virginia, unless there is a strictly-enforced upper age limit for potential battlers.

I found the address of the rental house Chris and Barb lived in after the fire on a dox site.

Heres what the inside looks like, having survived Chris and Barb.

I can only imagine what the owners thought when they saw the condition they likely left it in, remember the ebay listing with the rat shit in the background.
That must've cost the owners a pretty penny to clean up.

It really would depend on when they got it. Banks will look to the credit of the person(s) applying for the mortgage. Since Bob was retired, even though he had a pension and whatnot, he likely didn't get the best rate (if banks know you have a better chance of paying it off, you get a better rate). However, rates have changed so much in the past decade or so, so it depends on when they got the mortgage.

It's likely a fixed rate mortgage and if they got it leading up to 2008, the rate is likely pretty high. Unless they (they being Bob) refinanced it after rates went way down. I think $500-$700 is the likely amount.
 
what were the Virginia abortion laws in the early 80s? I guess Barb wanted another child while Bob didn't, we don't know Bob's views on abortion but many old school republicans were/are pro-choice
