Tarped Out

Nestled away in a quiet setting sits this oddity. I was hoping it would turn out to be a century home, but instead it was a relatively new house. On the approach one finds the usual cliches of the old beater car, van and assorted bicycles. There is a huge stack of plastic containers which contain hundreds if not thousands of vhs tapes beside the driveway. Obviously we didn't have time to check each container, but it did seem like an odd place to store them. Front door is locked tight with broken doorknob. Broken window allows a hand inside and an interior shot or two, but whoever vandalized the door has ensured it remains closed for now. The other ground level entrance is also locked tight. A third entrance entices you from above, but I wasn't in the mood to climb up and check it out. The roof is rotten, with the insulation cascading down into the living space. Tattered blue tarp surrounds the house, and it looks like someone tried to access the roof via a ladder propped up against a tree. Lots of articles inside, perhaps a time machine of 80's and 90's decor and technology. Will have to try again sometime as it did seem intriguing.
