Oh my GOD! You don't like old abandoned houses? I feel like someone just punched me in the gut. I didn't know it was possible for anyone to not hold any appeal for old abandoned houses!

Oh well, life goes on I guess.

There are so many reasons why this could have happened...

Imagine, the owner dies with no heirs, close family, or instructions on how to deal with the house. The furnishings are sold to pay debts, but the house costs more to renovate or keep up than it's really worth, so it sits...

Or, the house is left to a surviving son or daughter in another state. They can't move their jobs and families to this big old house, they can't afford a live-in caretaker, they can barely afford the property taxes on the house. It goes up for sale, but dad never put much money into renovations and it needs new wiring and plumbing to get up to code, and probably a new roof. The house sits on the market, no one willing to take on the challenge for such a large house so far from town, needing such expensive repairs.

One late winter evening, a short in the wiring sparks a fire that burns fast and hot, collapsing the roof before the fire department can arrive. Several states away, the family gets the phone call - their inheritance burning - and there's little they can do about it. So the house sits, too expensive to repair, too far away to worry about.

Funny, I've got three of those in mint condition! Now to find what to do with them.

I can imagine people sitting on these chairs.. :0
