My redneck neighbors caught their house on fire over Easter holiday. They almost nominated themseleves for a Darwin Award! We've been irritatingly facinated with these neighbors for a long time as their erratic behavior and the poor upkeep of their property makes them poorly matched for our middle-class neighborhood. Another neighboor reported the cops had to wrestle the teenage son to the ground, but I'm not clear on why. The next day, my partner and I decided to throw caution to the wind and go see if the inside of the house was in shambles, like the outside...and that was BEFORE the fire!

UPDATE: March 2006 - Neighbors have renovated the entire home and it's on the market. It looks great, but you can still smell the smoke odor from the street. Pictures from the "extreme makover" at the end of the album.
