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."

21. Sounds to me as if he wasn't paying her the support she thought she deserved, and then she went berzerk when he let the mortgage lapse. The kid looks sweet, with good intentions, but sometimes good intentions don't have the result wanted!

23. uh, i actually visited this residence a few years ago. the 'pool' had already become a duck toilet (and they actually offered to let everyone 'go swimming' in it).

x-wife was hot in 2003, but was looking seriously worn by 2005.

26. You can practically smell the remnants of crack in the air.

27. Okay,
I just can feel sorry for this kid. I can not muster any empathy. You have a million dollar house and you trash it? There are people in your town sleeping in cardboard boxes. You should be ashamed of the mess you have made out of all the things given to you in life. Not everyone got the 'lucky breaks' you did. Now grow up, straighten your life up and make something out of yourself, maybe dump the vegetarian earth child routine while you are it. Go to Mickey D's and get a real life job (plus they offer educational assistance). Get yourself an education!

Yeah, life isn't all peaches, you got to deal with stuff like heartbreak and golddiggers
maybe you shouldn't have dissed your parents? Why would you take some old chick's reason over the reason of those that birthed you?

Please get some help!!! And maybe try eating a little meat.
