Car in living room a conundrum

Good heavens!!

Have you heard any explanation for the accident yet? Was it just that he was speeding, or was there anything else involved, like alcohol? That's going to be one expensive accident. It's lucky that the homeowners weren't sitting in their living room at the time. Yikes. They need to build some kind of fence or wall at the edge of their property.

No explanation was offered at all, so far. I'm sure we'll eventually hear about it all and I'll let you know. It does look like the family will have to vacate their home for some time. I'd be awfully tempted to sell! And yet, who would buy the house with that history? The poor owners!

There's a house just a few miles from me that's on a sharply-curved portion of a road, and just to make that house even more vulnerable, it's below road level. Fortunately, there's a very sturdy rail (built by the county, I think) that protects drivers from flying off the road, and through the roof of the house.

I think that's what these poor people need -- a major barrier from any further potential disaster, once they get their house fixed up again. If nothing else, they could plant a border of fast-growing trees. I know I would!

I'll suggest the rail to the house owners through the CTV connection. Excellent point!

One night many years ago (different house) we heard a horrific crash followed by a huge gushing noise. Ted and I ran from our house to the end of our cul-de-sac to find a Corvette mounted atop a fire hydrant at the corner. The two lads inside took off, running like mad. They had taken that hairpin curve too fast and didn't make it. We watched as the police came in, had the car removed and apprehended the two very drunk boys who were wandering around the neighbourhood. Shortly thereafter, the owners of the house with the hydrant at the edge of their property, sold. I would have too.

OH my gosh!! We literally almost had a car in the living room here as well. I was sitting in the front room wiht the kids during a snowy slick day. Our street literally runs right into the driveway so if someone can't make the turn quite right well ... yeah .. Any who this person had tried to turn but because of the snow they could not make the turn very well. So they almost drove right into the front room. However, lucky for me and them they stopped just short of my pretty oak tree.
