entrance is blocked the courtyard is blocked every inch of this house is overc capacity the only way I can get into the house is now through a step ladder into the kitchen the kitchen is probably 15% functional living room which is 2 and 1/2 stories in height beautiful fireplace which we can't see living room furniture that is buried somewhere David can hold on to a dollar store wine glass an old electric blanket that no longer works he can hold on to absolutely anything my name is Samantha and I am David's [Music] daughter I was going through a divorce and we became friends we used to meet at
