My inlaws have a home they purchased in the 1970's as a fixer upper. They moved in and started a family never finishing the home. It's become a point of contention for their now fully grown children and their father who has never completed the work required. The home has an unfinished floor, walls, electric, no central heat or air and the rear is missing siding. Basically it's been inhabited for almost 40 years without anyone finishing anything notable.
We came out to the home for the holidays this year and they have a live outlet dangling from the rear of the home with a power cable plugged in and sitting in the snow. This receptacle itself is dangling from a rear awning where the roof has given in to the elements so the outlet is even exposed to the world. Forget a GFI outlet, I don't even know if the home has a grounding wire. Basically, its a disaster.
I posted this same story over on the HGTV forums asking how to best repair the home but they think it's more serious than a repair given the mess inside.

So, what kind of help is available for folks who turn their home into this: http://imgur.com/a/OCxCb#0
