House Falling Down WOULD YOU BUY IT?

Hey folks, today I came across a video that really got me thinking. Titled "House Falling Down WOULD YOU BUY IT?" it takes a deep dive into a home at St Helena, Danby Head in North Yorkshire that's literally slipping away due to landslides. The idea of buying a property like this might seem wild at first, but as a plumber, you know I love a good challenge. Imagine stepping into a fixer-upper that’s more ‘fixer’ than ‘upper’. We all know that every house has its quirks, but what happens when those quirks include a foundation that's fighting a losing battle against nature? It could be a DIY dream, or it could turn into a plumbing nightmare. For my fellow plumbers, this is where our skills come into play. A house like this might need everything from stabilizing pipes to fixing up damaged drain systems, not to mention dealing with moisture issues and priming the heating system in a home that’s struggling to stay upright. Now, for the DIY warriors out there – there’s something undeniably satisfying about taking on a project that others might shy away from. Just think about the plumbing challenges you could face and conquer! However, before diving in head-first, it's crucial to take a good long look at the overall structural integrity of the place. Because let's face it, a plumbing overhaul is a lot easier when there’s a roof over your head that’s not about to collapse. In the end, buying a house like this is a big decision. So, before you make a move, consider all the plumbing, heating, and structural repairs it might entail. It could turn into a fantastic opportunity if you’re prepared with the right knowledge and tools. Let's keep the conversation going – what do you think? Would you take on a house with such a slippery foundation?
