The house next door

Feb 19, 2011 09:37

I came home yesterday to a large dumpster across the end of the alley. I managed to get my car into the garage and a fellow popped around the corner and asked if this was my house. It seems that the garage that is only a foot from the back of mine had succumbed to weight of snow and ice on the roof and collapsed.

I have not seen the fellow that used to live next door for a couple of years now. Since his mother died six years ago the house has been more and more neglected. There was no heat this year and I really hope that the water has been turned off. I really hope that the basement doesn't look like a swimming pool because of a broken water pipe.

Since I never saw him take out the trash since his mother died I think that the house might not be salvageable. Updates to follow if things change.
