Hmm. Most of the houses on hoarders are about to be condemned, or have been condemned and several of them have had health issues and other family members living with them. I've often wondered how, especially once the show airs the condition of the home, how the counties involved aren't coming in and saying that's it get out you're done. Especially those with small children.
But I think they have to give you a chance to clean and fix it first, maybe that depends on location.
When I was about Darrins age we had the sweetest neighbors move into the old ladies house next door. Her son rented them the house when she went into a nursing home. They lived there a whole year with two babies. About 9 months in an odor radiated from the house, I can't even begin to describe it. Mom called the landlord because truthfully it was foul, really foul. The landlord son, evicted the family. But he didn't know what on earth to do about the condition of the house. It was hoarders on steroids. We were amazed such a thing could get into that condition in nearly just a year! I don't think these people ever took their trash out. Ever.
The son needed to sell the house to finance the nursing home because renting wasn't enough. But he couldn't do either with the condition of the house. He tried to hire professionals to come in and they refused to touch the health hazard. (and it certainly was a health hazard) So he ask my Mom and Dad if he paid them if they'd be willing to help.........I dunno what he paid, but it was Mom, Dad, and 5 kids in there for days tossing and cleaning and trying not to breathe too deeply. Mom gave me the kitchen sink as one of my jobs.....and ewww.....hot dogs don't really degrade by the way, they just seem to be an incubator for several types of mold. Working sun up to sun down, we got it clean. I personally think it was a miracle myself. Dad went through and replaced things and fixed things that needed fixed. The garage to the house was just bulldozed and hauled away along with all the trash inside.......it was just too much.
I slept in my spotless bedroom last night with a big grin on my face. One room has been totally re-claimed and is back to normal. Travis is really begging me to help him do his room. So I'm sort of torn as to what I should do next. I'm afraid of letting the downstairs go for fear it will get messed up again......I need to do the yard bad......but his room is over the top and I know there are a bunch of things he could pull out and get rid of clutter by yard saling them. And I can only do it when the boys aren't here. ugh
