Home is where the heart is?

Hmmm. . . if they say home is where the heart is, then what does that means if your house is a terrible piece of crap and is in a serious need of remodeling? On the television show called Ugliest House on the Block, a bunch of remodeling experts(consisting of designer, painter, host, carpenter) pick on certain individual's home on a certain street somewhere nationwide and remodel that particular house. Another question that keep creeping in my head "Is how do you allow your house to become in such disarray?" Some people stated that they were "too busy" or "when the weekend comes around they just want to relax", that is a darn out right shame. I also blame some of the neighbors for allowing that one particular house on the street, to go to hell in a hand basket. Hey, you know that this house will ultimately bring down the value of your own home and yet you continue to allow this eye-sore to get deteriorate as the months go onward. So you are just as much at fault as those idiots who decided to live in that eye-sore of a home. To make matters worse is that in some of the homes(if you really want to call them that), the parents allow their children to live in such a place. If you see mold and mildew to spore all over your home, that is not only a health hazard for you as a parent but it is also bad for your little children. *Sigh* Stop being lazy people and take pride in your homes.
