π π Living in a House of Horrors! ππ


Meet David Barlow from Swansea, who’s making an unexpected move to his motorhome this winter. Why? Because his house has been overtaken by damp and mould for years! π±

David’s been caught in a frustrating cycle with property management, trying to get his home’s issues sorted. With giant fungi growing outside his window and freezing cold nights, he’s had enough! This winter, he’s parking his motorhome outside, stretching an electric lead over the roof, and making himself comfy inside the van, finding it warmer than his own home. ππ§οΈ
βIβm just existing,β he shares. Sleepless nights and constantly living out of boxes have taken their toll. With last month’s rain soaking right through, David’s had it! He can’t even unpack properly or enjoy a sit-down meal at home. π΄π¦
Heβs holding out hope for a solution, but the clock is ticking. As he approaches retirement, David’s contemplating going further β even considering legal action if things aren’t sorted by next summer. It’s been a long battle, and patience is wearing thin. π°οΈπΌ
The property management company insists they’re doing all they can, facing complexities involving financial aid applications and claims against the original insulation installer. Despite promises of weekly updates and support, residents like David feel left in the lurch. π’π§
As David treks back home from work, the dread of what awaits weighs heavy on his mind. He says, βLifeβs become just about work and finding relief wherever I can.β Itβs a winding road of uncertainty but one heβs determined to navigate, even if it means living out of a van for now. π£οΈπ§οΈ
Let’s hope for a speedy resolution for David and all others in similar plights! π
