Train Wrecks
"Home Improvement" Star's House -- A Real S**thole

Posted Jul 17th 2007 3:27PM by TMZ Staff

Once you get past the smell of s**t and piss, and cryptic messages spray-painted everywhere and massive holes smashed into the walls, Taran Noah Smith's former home isn't really that bad ......yeah, right.

TMZ got video of the house today -- the place Smith called home until the bank foreclosed on the property 10 days ago. The 4 bedroom/4 bath house is located in the L.A. suburb of Sherman Oaks. The wreckage inside is breathtaking.

The words "Please view this lesson in finality" were scrawled on one of the walls. Bitter, party of one! The real estate tear-sheet on the house reads, "Absolutely the worst house in a prime location," offered for a cool $1.149 mil!
Taran Smith
Smith recently divorced his wife, who is sixteen years his senior. Smith's lawyer told TMZ he doesn't think his client did all the damage, adding, "You can thank his golddigging ex-wife for the debacle he's in."

6. I saw a story on ET or somewhere way back in which his parents were trying to block his assets so the gold-digging skank who he was about to marry wouldn;t get all of his cash. The dude was obviously stoned or drugged out of his mind and defied his parents warnings and concerns. And lo and behold, look what's happened! The skank gold-digger got the gold. And what's the moral in all of this, kids? Don't diss your own damn parents or it'll snap ya in the ass eventually. Hooray for Hollywood!

8. If memory serves.....did he not take his parents to court so he was able to get his $$ that he made while on the show? So he could have access to it earlier? So he could marry the "older woman"? Pretty sure that his parents WARNED him about this but, you know kids now a days.....they know everything. Oh well, lesson learned the HARD way for him. Gonna cost him mega bucks now.

12. WOW, too bad his/her ass can’t be jailed for this. I’m an investor and that’s why I hate foreclosures because 99.99% of the time, the ex-homeowner is non to happy about there property being taken away, so they take out all the frustration on the property. Usually these foreclosures are purchased during an auction and all you really have are pics, which sometimes does not display the worse of the damage. It’s like buy at your own risk.
