If it’s a standalone, asking the local FD if they can demolish it for training might be cheaper and less stressful than the cleanup… from what you say, I suspect the amount of work needed to put it in shape may be less than what’s needed to build a new house in that tract.
Oh I dont know. I’ve seen people cleaning out a hoarders house before. In one case I know of it was the kids cleaning their parents house and they just opened the windows and thru and sometimes shoveled junk out.
If you dont even bother to sort stuff and just toss things into a dumpster it doesnt take long. Next you rip out the carpet and possibly the drywall. Really gut the place. Then you rebuild.
The roof is collapsed, I suspect it won’t be the only part of the house that’s got integrity problems. My brother has had to rebuild a house with integrity problems including a collapsed roof by the “gut and remake” method because it was embedded with its neighbor so it wasn’t possible to tear down and rebuild: the cost and time for the second method would have been about half and about 1/10th.
If that’s what your dealing with by all means tear it down and rebuild.
Yes, good idea.
To those suggesting the fire department or fixing up part, did you read the above quote. The houses, more than likely, will not be Grude’s to do anything with.
