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."

61. What kind of gold digger could his ex-wife be if he can't een pay for his hsouse? Has he been on anything since Home Improvement went off the air?

62. I know Taran and have been at that house! It was very nice before the divorce and was a very artistic place! He also has his own restaurant which does well. I guess divorces can be messy but the dude is a very nice guy and good friend. Don't judge by this alone, havent we all had a bad relationship!?! Lates

65. #5: Yeah I saw the show. His parents tried to tell his dumb ass not to marry her. But he wanted his money so he could live happily ever after. Now look at him!! Sometimes you need to listen to your parents.

66. It's so sad what happens to these kid actors. I hate seeing this all the time. Just once, I'd like to see something good for one of them...but maybe that's just me.

67. HIs parents were right. Everybody could see it wasn't right when he wanted to marry her. She was 16 years old senior and employed. Why would a 33 years old woman want a 17 years old boy? Because he was a dumb ass kid with money.

Drugs make you fall in love with old hags. She wasn't even hot.

70. Taran Smith - I've never heard of you, but you made the choice to marry her, now the consequences - live and learn.

75. Not to be picky, but I believe the wall says, "Please view this as a lesson in finality," not "Please view this lesson in finality." Re-read, TMZ.
