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

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."

48. You have to wonder if his parents, who he sued for emancipation, are thinking, "We told you do."

Everyone around him new she was a gold-digging ho, but he refused to believe them and cut them out of his life. I feel no pity for him, because his family did care and tried to guide him. He CHOSE to IGNORE them.

51. Please people! He was gay, gay, gay! That's why his wife left his butt! And I love how his lawyer says that his ex-wife or soon to be ex could have trashed this house. Give me a break! He is just nasty!

53. I'm so sad that this happened to that beautiful house. I am heartbroken that Heidi permeated his life in such a negative way. Taran, I miss the old you, and our silly times, our puppy love, our times at the Equestrian Center, Joe playing your drums, all three of us swimming in the pool all night. I hope you're okay.
Love,
Gretch.

54. wow, someone went totally psycho. it looks like the damage to the wall was done with something small, so it would have taken a long time to do all that damage.

57. I seem to remember his parents trying to talk him out of marrying the ex-wife but he was "in love." What a sad ending to what could have been a long career.

58. What's even sadder is that they have a young son. I checked imdb.

59. At such a young age, we was in an adult situation by making so much money. I think with that, he thought he was mature enough to make other decisions such as getting married and having access to his trust fund. And in essence this decision caused a rift between himself and his parents.

It's sad for a number of reasons, one being he has a child with his ex-wife. Now he is all of 23 and this story will loom over him for the rest of his life.

There is nothing a 17 y-o boy has that a 33 y-o would want except money. I would have told him that if she really want to be with him, she can wait and she can sign a pre-nup.

I wonder what happened to their business?

60. When a polesmoker turns into a pipesmoker, things get kinky.
The ex-wife will be dead in a year, and this kid will be working SM Blvd for pocket change.
HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
