Although we have great hopes for TerraPlana, it can't be denied that the current condition is a little rough. It's been about 4 years since anyone has lived there (if you don't count the vagrants). In that time, the roof gained a few leaks, which unaddressed, caused rot in some of the wood structure (even some mushrooms... yummy). Inside, it's a moist, musty mess, and that was before the vagrants broke in!

It's easy to have sympathy for the squatters of the world. It's a crime to see so many useful buildings in a city sitting vacant when there are people who would love to make use of them, and it's not uncommon to see buildings rehabilitated by squatters... in some cases even turned into cultural and community centers. However, sadly, TerraPlana was blessed with less civic minded occupants.

| What a bargin. It even comes with furniture! |
From the looks of it, the main activity in taking place in our house for the last few years was drinking cheap boxed wine, and making a fantastic mess. The current state of the house is basically every flavor of disgusting (right down to the used condom in the bottom right of the last picture), and that's before you get to the picture below, which seems to be the room they chose as the bathroom.

Gladly, those days are over. Our first improvement to the house was to add the following security system. It's been a few weeks now, and happily, we can report that the wall shitters have not returned.
