My mother in law lives in Hamilton. Nice area as Jim Price would say.

I would kill for one of the ranch homes in the shadow of Lambeau Field. Lots of the ones with views of the stadium are going for millions.

The only way for them to declutter is to move out.

When we sold our house about two years ago, we moved a bunch of crap into the garage and parked on the street. It wound up costing us some money (tree fell on the damn car in a storm) but on the other hand we got over our asking price. It was good prep for living in our current place, which is smaller. 

These people, though...

The best part of this house is the portrait of Abraham Lincoln in the 3rd picture. It's pretty much the only non-Michigan related decoration in the entire house lmao

Very cool. We just moved into our apartment though and have Michiganized it in every room. Including a large fathead of the Go Blue Banner in the hall that we run and jump up to touch as the hall is a straight line to our front door. It’s perfect.

I want an 80s style 2 story house with the garage connected to it. Painted Blue with Maize shutters. 20 foot flag pole and that giant 6x10 foot flag hanging on the ceiling at MDen in the front yard. 

Getting married at The Big House is our next step in the next few years.

As much as I appreciate all the Michigan memorabilia in the house, there is a ton of updating that needs to be done. The walls need to be stripped of all paper and painted. The kitchen appears to need a full update across the board. Also, hoarders don't normally take great care of everything in their home, so I don't even want to know the things that will need fixed that we cannot see in pictures.

I have to respectfully disagree with the hoarding comments.  It's obsessive but the level of detail to the layout of the items is actually impressive.  I don't think they arranged those mugs just for the pictures, I have a feeling they are like that all of the time.  If you look at the actual aspects of the house they seem well cared for, although outdated.

I tried to strip paper from our current house. It's a horrible job. After doing the entryway I just painted the wallpaper in the other rooms. If you seal it up with oil-based primer first it looks fine and holds up. The problem with stripping wallpaper is that you basically have to put a skim coat of drywall mud over the entire wall once the paper is off because the removal process pits the drywall underneath horribly.
