It would have been a lot more than a basic clean and touch-up. They probably had to strip out and replace all the carpet, seal the structure, repair the drywall, and repaint everything. The work itself probably didn't take long, but it can be very hard these days to schedule and coordinate the various contractors, especially if they're any good (and therefore busy).

Even so, the fact the Chandlers lived there for less than a year and a complete house renovation had to go down to make the place safe for human habitation again, the same would likely be required for anybody (who were upstanding citizens and not trailer trash like the Chandlers) to want to look at 14BC as a solid investment let alone someplace to live.

Can you see the weens continuing to take such interest in the address once Chris is no longer living there and they're not getting feedback over the internet for their "trolling"? Also some places let you establish a "code word" to prove your bona fides - restaurants run too tight a margin to turn away legitimate business. Likely Chris isn't smart enough to remember a code word, or the Papa Johns knew him too well to offer the option.

I merely said "the work of weens" to clarify that all the phone calls to that Papa Johns had largely been weens and not Chris himself making them. Naturally I would believe that once 14BC is finally free of the residence of any Chandler the weens will vanish into the woodwork and everybody in C-ville can forget he ever existed if they can.

I vote we move to turn 14 Branchland Court into the Museum of Natural Christory. See exhibits made from toys and other hoarded junk and take guided tours that recreate the house tour videos Chris made. Put in a small entrance fee and a gift shop and it'll make money hand over fist.

Can you imagine anyone paying money to walk through a retards toys. What will they sell in the gift shop? Bob's guest host appearance on CD set?

If anything that house is cursed, haunted by the ghost of a bent duck fucking barb.

Oh you would definitely have to strip out 14BLC as well, and that could also take months to finish.

I'm just saying that most of that time would be spent waiting on contractors to show up, not on the actual work itself. Barring logistical delays, a good crew could finish it in a few weeks of solid labor. But in these days where you can have a six month lead time just to get a painter in, the total project time would be much longer.

The work itself wouldn't be too much different between the rental and 14BLC, just more extensive: it takes the same amount of time to strip out a carpet regardless of whether the dogs have been pissing on it for one year or ten.

Naturally I would believe that once 14BC is finally free of the residence of any Chandler the weens will vanish into the woodwork and everybody in C-ville can forget he ever existed if they can.

But that's my point. Any inconvenience with living at 14BLC would be over soon enough, probably before the property gets flipped. The flipper would be wise to see to it himself, so the eventual owners likely wouldn't notice anything amiss.

And they'd probably have VERY good relations with their neighbors, simply for not being Chris and Barb.
 
If anyone were to buy the house after it's taken from the Chandlers, the neighbors would see to it that the new people moving in would know the horrors that they witnessed when it was inhabited by Barbara and Chris. But I see Chris as being the reason why most of the neighbors didn't want to socialize much with them.
I think now that Chris is gone some of the neighbors might be sighing in relief at the thought that this manchild won't be back. I don't remember if it was mentioned but are there any kids living in that neighborhood? From one of Chris's stories, I know a kid questioned their gender identity from seeing him, but I don't take Chris's stories seriously about the neighbors.
So while Chris was there I wonder if the neighbors kept their kids inside in fear of the sweat trans manchild trying to play with the kids if he saw them.
I wish we could find out why Chris didn't go after that ball he was kicking around in that video he posted. I wonder if the neighbor told him to stay off the property. But if that were the case we would've heard Chris bitch about it on Twitter.

But we'll never know as Chris isn't coming back anytime soon unless his luck and the autism card lets him escape punishment.

The other thing I question is if Tom and Harriet are at 14 BLC every single day helping Barb or if they're there on the weekends. I don't think anyone gave a straight confirmation if Barb is still there now as we speak.

There's no reason for an exorcism, even pre-tomgirl Chris would've scared Lucifer, Indrid Cold and the Hat Man away. Honestly, I could see it operate successfully or semi-successfully for 10-15 years. It has infinitely more potential than other weird roadside attractions like Ponyhenge or the Doll's Head Trail.

"Kids, this house is the reason your mom and I met. We watched a high-functioning autistic human being slowly sink to the bottom of the Mariana Trench of debauchery in there. Isn't that right, honey? Now go stand in line, I've been hungry since we left Charlottesville so I need to buy a bent Sonichu corn dog and some Minute Maid lemonade."

The biggest thing going for 14BC not being leveled as soon as the bank gets full ownership is the post-fire rebuild. However, we should not underestimate what damage the Chandlers can do - the rental they stayed in while 14BC was being repaired was, following the departure of the Chandlers, noticeably left vacant for months which for a rental property is obscene as that means it isn't making money, and thus there had to be something truly wrong going on such that the landlord wouldn't want paying residents in it. Sure, 14BC's structure might be serviceable still but between what ungodly bullshit has been left to fester in that house since the rebuild and the rest of the cleanup work on the grounds such as what to do with Mr. C's abandoned dreamshack, a complete refurbishment is not out of the question simply to purge it further. Patti's doghouse is almost 100% going to be scrapped.

In fact, it may not be entirely out of the question that what we're seeing now, with the fans and lights, could be the house being prepared to be put back on the market since cleaning it out as much as possible will improve the price the realtor might offer. Without a doubt Barb is no longer in control of what's happening at the house and getting rid of it would be a massive problem being taken off the hands of whoever is taking care of Barb, and Chris is just a matter they've washed their hands of entirely.


I recall some time back Chris ended up making an angry facebook post about how he tried to order pizza from Papa Johns and was told point blank they don't take phone orders for that address anymore, so he 'had to risk his life by getting into his car and driving there' (his words) only to have a three page packet filled with nothing but fake phone orders specifically for 14BC (all the work of weens of course) shoved in his face as proof.

That's hilarious.

Imagine if the kid in question was actually trans and had a breakdown after seeing Chris.

"WILL I TURN OUT LIKE THAT?!"

Short answer. Yes. Long answer, probably worse. Troonism is a terrible disease.

Minute maid? I was thinking Fanta. The house is small, so it would have to operate on tour groups. I can see a lot of freaks paying for an air B&B at that address.

Spend the night in Chris's old bedroom! The lols from the ween videos would be worth it.

He worked out with that brand once:


I was thinking of guided tours plus a concession stand too but dig the Airbnb idea as well. There's certainly some gold in them thar hills but the knowledgable portion of the neighbors would probably freak out if they'd imagine what sort of people the house attracts after it's renovated. Chris was the first brony after all, I envision a mandatory hajj of degenerates to Brony Mecca. Although the FBI could stake it out, it would be like shooting fish in a barrel.

I've seen some shit, lived with some disgusting flatmates but I can't even imagine what the inside of that place looked like, you could've probably leaned on that thick musk like a counter.
 
Remember at one point Bob was quarantined when dying due to a bug infestation.

There will be legitimate hazmat level removal going on, and local contractors flat out may not want to touch the mess. They may know the reputation, and a quick google of the residence to get an idea of 'how bad' reveals truly horrifically bad it is.

This isn't just like food hoarding, but chris-chan hoarding his fucking sperm in freezers etc.

Perhaps the 2014 fire destroyed that. If only we could get lucky.
 
There is the possibility of Chris having the charges upgraded to a felony, or managing to commit a felony charge in Jail, thus ending up with 10 or more years.

Then after 10 plus years of long periods of solitary, briefly interspersed with times in gen pop which lead to swift sperg outs, only landing him back in solitary, he will be released.

The internet will have long forgotten him by then, so any residents at 14 BC will have no idea why an old, insane, troon manchild, is banging on their door demanding his lego.
 
I remember when Chris and Babs were living in the rental while they were waiting for 14BC to be repaired from the fire, there were several photos and videos that Chris had posted where you could see how filthy and disgusting the floors had become. There were all manner of stains, food crumbs, insects, and even rodent feces deep down in the carpet fibers. It didn't take long for the carpets to get to an unreasonably dirty state, and they just got worse and worse while the Chandlers lived there.

I can only imagine the atrocious condition that 14BC has become today. We already know about the hoarding, the pets pissing and shitting wherever they want, and even Chris using the floor as a toilet. Imagine all the horrible things that we AREN'T aware of. When the bank takes full legal ownership after the foreclosure, if they decide to refurbish the house instead of razing it and starting over, a lot of work will need to be done. The house will likely need to be completely gutted to the frame. The actual floorboards and at least the lower 1/3 of the sheet rock on the walls will need to be replaced due to animal and human waste (and possibly fluids from rotting garbage) soaking through the carpets and pads down to the wood. All the carpets and other floor surfaces will need to be replaced. Vermin will need to be exterminated and cleaned out. Any offensive odors that have seeped into the structure itself will need to be dealt with. The deck might need to be repaired or replaced, depending on its structural state. All the outbuildings like the Dreaming Studio, the gazebo, and the dog house will be demolished and removed. The lawns and gardens might get ripped out so new landscaping can be done, especially if there is a sprinkler system installed that is damaged. And there could be even more work required that I haven't thought of. It'll be a lot of work and very expensive. And that's assuming the contamination and damage isn't to the point where it would actually be more cost effective to demolish the house and start all over fresh.

At this point I think the house has a decent chance of remaining standing simply because of the cost of lumber in the economy right now and the fact it got a full refurbishment following the house fire. If an argument was to be made about demolishing it, it would have been back then as the house had been accumulating Chandler crap for decades and was in no question a worse shape at the time of the fire from the negligence of the Chandlers and the herd of unhousetrained pets shitting and pissing everywhere, then it would be now with a slightly reduced load of the stated above conditions in a shorter period of time.

What works against 14BC is its actual design as a split level. If the new owners want to sell this plot to retirement couples given it's in the boonies and not really near anything, split levels are not exactly the best option for elderly knees.

Not only that, but the house style and location is very undesirable to the younger middle-class. Not many young couples would be interested in beginning their new family in a tacky split-level that's located so far from anything interesting or meaningful. They would rather buy a newer home in a development located close to fun or interesting attractions, or they'd rather have an older house that's built to a higher standard than a split-level built in the 60s. A multi-generational immigrant family will be the most likely occupants of 14BC after the Chandlers, and it'll be a complete crapshoot whether or not they actually take care of the house and yard.
