The wife's parents built a new home for their young family back in the 70s. The old home was supposed to be pushed into a hole shortly after. It's four decades later and the old house is still there, right next to the new house, still blocking the view from the kitchen window. The large pile of dirt from excavating the "new" home is still out back of it, too. Covered in trees.
The old home is basically pigeon housing now. The roof is coming in. The stuff left inside has been destroyed by snow, water, and evil birds. Even if any of it is still salvageable, anyone trying to go in there will fall through what's left of the floor pretty quickly.
I give the place another decade before it falls in of its own volition.
