A friends home is just a few doors away from a home thats about to

the backyards have gone from 15 feet to just a few, and that home
close by is about a foot and is for sale for 5 grand. Its vacant since
the gas company terminated service and pulled the meter for safety
reasons. its a nice ranch in a so so neighborhood. it makes me wonder
how the pros do it, theres over a 100 foot drop to the valley below.
it last sold for 6

Rappeling would be necessary to work behind the home

buddy showed me another house like this, the home currently sits above
ravine street. the foundation is undermned and collapsed.

that is you can look under the footer and concrete slab. maybe 1/4 is
exposed, i was afraid to get too close for a good look.

both homes are pretty nice and might make a nice investment for
someone if they could be stabilized........

I heard on the news a very convincing show about bankruptcy that said
that most buisiness owners try so hard to avoid it bankruptscy and
wait too long to do bankruptcy and that's why they can't do a good job
of it.

Similarly, I think this owner waited too long to try to sell his
house. Earlier, maybe it could have been moved to another location.
Althought since it's built on a slab, maybe there is hope yet.


They should build the houses with beautiful views on the other side of
the mountain, where the land is less likely to collapse.

If you want to see the long term results of hills sliding into
valleys, drive down the Shenandoah valley.
