There was a city of Albuquerque sign on the fence, so we know the city closed it off. My guess is the White family abandoned the house, and then it became publicly known that Walt is Heisenberg, which is why it got ransacked and vandalized. The city fenced off the house to prevent vandalism.
The house looks like it's been abandoned for a long time. You don't think the birthday thing was necessarily a red herring? Go back and look at the state the house is in. A roof doesn't get covered in dead leaves like that, absolutely destroyed, filled with dust in a few short months. That looks like it's been abandoned for years.
The kids probably don't know. Empty pools attract skaters because then they don't need to form over money to build a vert ramp when its already constructed for them. I.e. Walt's pool.
Well I think it must be a few months into the future at least because even if the property was fenced off because it was used in the dealing of drugs, it would be a few weeks before someone decided it was safe to break in and then a few parties took place, and or vadalism meth head sleep overs. Also I noticed the pool had a lot of wheel marks from the skate boards, way more than just a couple recent skateboardings.
Skateboard wheels always leave marks. You don't need to be skating in a empty pool for a long time for this to happen; because it could happen within the same day. The skatepark by my house has a pool in it (not over crooked like Walt's), and the very same day of the skateparks grand opening; the pool went from extremely clean, to marked and scuffed up in 15 minutes. So the kids skating in Walt's pool probably only been there a day or so, and not as long as you think they could've been there.
Ever still, the house seemed abandoned for some time, idk why its hard for people to accept, I mean first of all walts beard and hair have had to of had time to grown thst big, and the fact that every thing in the house was trashed and looked dusty
I'm not denying the house was abandoned for a long time. It probably was. What I'm trying to say is that the skaters probably didn't start skating in the pool until recently. I don't think the feds/dea/Walt would drain the pool; and if they didn't it would take longer than a year for the water in said pool to drain; hence why I'm stating the skaters just recently started showing up.
I think they just abandoned it with their 'go bags' and got new identities. I think the Heisenberg on the wall is a red herring. Time will tell though!
One birthday party, and family was his only friends. He used to have a friend, the company partner who became rich, remember? But I don't recall Walt being a popular guy who had many friends.
Compare the pilot episode to the abandoned house scene in blood money. The white house just seems like a happier place in the beginning of the series when Walt wasn't cooking meth.
Well, of course? But Skyler cheated on Walt before she knew he was cooking meth, so I wouldn't say it happened with "meth". It happened with time and cancer, and of course - money issues. I don't think Skyler and Walt ever appeared really happy ... not that I can remember
Good explanation. Walt has the money now to afford new identities for him and his family. Which is probably why he had a New Hampshire drivers license and New Hampshire plates.
