We always knew the guy across the street from us was a bit of a hoarder. "Treasures" were always appearing in his yard and driveway. Junk that he would find in people's trash, bring home, and store in his driveway for 6 months until you would notice it was no longer there. Broken lawn chairs, an old comforter draped over the fence airing out for a few months, broken wicker laundry basket. Stuff like that. Junk.

Well, over the weekend, there was a bit of excitement over at his house, and some guy was helping him clean up the place, and managed to convince him to throw some stuff away. He filled maybe half a dozen bags with trash, but during the cleanup, he had his front door open. The junk inside his house was about 4 feet deep just inside his front door.

Today, there was a huge orange sticker on the front door saying the house was uninhabitable, or something like that.

Guy has always been a little nutty. But now the local government has gotten involved.

I wonder how they found out? His place really wasn't that bad from the outside.
