Exterior Chair Problems
 

When driving through a neighborhood you are thinking about purchasing a home in it is a good idea to look around very carefully at the neighborhood. Look for any clues pointing towards homes that are not taken care of.

Some of these homes are owned by the elderly and either they cannot take care of them or they don't have the money to hire someone for home maintenance.

Whenever I see two chairs like that sitting outside of someone's house it reminds me of one time when I took a wrong turn down a street into an extremely rough neighborhood.

I'm not going to go into the details about my drive down the street but if you can only imagine two people sitting in these chairs all day long with a possibility of consuming alcohol or maybe some drugs, you're probably in a rough neighborhood.

Please use common sense when driving through a neighborhood and spotting a couple of chairs outside. Some people are actually leaving them for the goodwill or maybe another nonprofit organization to pick up.
