It looks like it might be a rail road car.  Or maybe a dumpster.

Looks like an old train car to me. On a side note, I never realized how much Axel looks like Hunter.

I just noticed that too, especially with Axel's current haircut.

And another unappetizing food-pic. If you'd like the recipe... Well, just google it 😉

[DakotaJustice]

So cutting vegetables thickly turns them into "steak"? Pass the A-1 sauce...

Even with a baked potato and garlic bread on the side, I'm just not seeing it. 

[Pickleinthemiddle]

I've done the roasted cabbage steaks before.  They were okay, but not something I would make again.

I have to give her an E for effort.  At least she tries to eat healthier options.

I love cabbage and will probably try this.  I grow it and eat it all the time! 

[laurakaye]

For a gal who doesn't know her veggies, she sure puts away a lot of cabbage.  Good thing she's got a nice Plexus cocktail to chase it down with so she doesn't get those dreaded digestion issues anymore.

[WhatAmIWatching]

"Digestion Issues" 💨 💨 💨 😆 

It amazes me that she's not at all in tune with her own body.

[iwantcookies]

She probably drowned it in salt 🤣🤣🤣

[Gramto6]

Roasted cauliflower steaks are also really good. I make it at least a couple of times a month. Basically made the same way, olive oil, s/p sometimes a pinch of garlic powder, other times more exotic spices such as Persian Advieh, or Japanese Togarashi, or Egyptian Dukkak. Amazon is my spice friend!!

Janelle's rental house was just put up for sale today.  

[DakotaJustice]

What's the asking price?

$699,000!

[DakotaJustice]

I just found the listing. All I can say is based on the photos... Janelle is kind of a slob if this is the best attempt of staging that can be done.

She moved the exercise bike away from the fireplace.  But, it also looks like they're in the middle of a move - in addition to her being a slob.

Where does that put it in relation to Christine's and Meri's homes?? I know Meri is still renting, but just in perspective...do you think they will buy Janelle's home?

Interesting catch Smarty! Can't wait to find out where she's moving to . . . again. In with the king and queen perhaps? I heard they are into plural living, you know, the "lifestyle". Man these guys. Cannot imagine moving this much and the money they blow moving so much. Dopes.

Oh, the back yard. She'll have to leave her tomato thatch.

[DakotaJustice]

There are other pics - I don't think we're allowed to give addresses here, but it came up easily when I googled Janelle Brown Flagstaff Az address. 

Back yard gone to weeds, screen door out of its track, a bed in what I assume is the in-law unit right up against the stove, bins and boxes everywhere. Not like they're packing up, more like they're living out of them.

At first glance, I thought...Oh she's just being uncooperative with the realtor and not bothering to tidy up, as resentful tenants sometimes do when selling the property is inconvenient for them. 

I tried to give her the benefit of doubt when I saw the boxes in the living room and wondered they were from clearing out her mom's house and she just hasn't had time to disperse them yet.  Then I noticed the clutter and disarray throughout the rest of the house, notably the top of the dresser in the master bedroom and came to the conclusion that she just lives this way.

It seems to me that it's indicative of what goes on in Janelle's mind, on the surface she appears calm and steady but once the door is opened, the turmoil is revealed.

[iwantcookies]

Wow her house is a cluttered mess.

Well, since they move every 15 minutes I can see why she wouldn't bother to unpack.  Saves time.

[CouchTater]

What a dump.  She really needs to raise her standards for herself and her children.  And raise the cleanliness bar, too!

*I'm not saying the house is terrible, but at this stage in her life ("career woman," "tv star," a husband and 3 sisterwives with waaaay better living conditions), she should expect more for herself and her children.  It's kind of sad, really.

Janelle always stands up for Kootie, even when he's an arrogant prick.  She stays his buddy that way, and it IS sad that she demands nothing from him for herself and her kids.

Sucks to be her.

As usual, Janelle doesn’t know how to tidy the place up for photos. The homeowner should have waited until the lazy slob moved out and then taken the photos. 

The last thing potential buyers want to see is this kind of shit.

I wondered about that! How does it work, exactly? Elevates the legs?

And she was a real estate agent! You think she'd know. But I'm guessing she is trying to stay as long as possible.

It puts you in more of a squatting position. Your knees are then higher than your hips, depending on your height. It’s supposed to ease the strain of going.

I took care of a woman that had one. She had a high toilet, but she was short. It was comfortable for her because then her feet didn’t dangle.

She had a real estate license. They preach living "the faith". You'd think these two items would give her a bit of professional and personal respect for other people and their stuff. Hope the landlord had a huge deposit.

At least it is not the beginning of the school year and she should be able to find another rental.  Or maybe a mobile home to save money.

It does suck to be Janelle, and she sucks, too.  Here's just one reason (besides being a lesser wife to the douchebag ex-brother-in-law and stepbrother):

Unless she is going to buy this house (unlikely, based on price and its being listed at all), she will be moving a third time within Flagstaff, within 2-3 years, all while Savannah is still in high school. 

Yet, they moved to Flagstaff for Robyn, to whom Kody promised that she'd never have to move again.  Janelle got really angry when Christine suggested that the family return to Utah and accused Christine of wanting to be close to her children.  Every wife owns an actual habitat (Meri's in Parowan), except for Janelle, who doesn't worry about the instability it may cause her children.

Maybe Janelle will optimize her finite resources and set up a teepee and the trailer that her sons are refurbishing on Prairie Dog Plague Pass and replicate this rental's main house and guest house.  

Also, the next season may have to be based in Christine's and Robyn's houses or the Prairie Dog Plague Pass picnic tables, if Janelle's next rental is in a no-filming zone.

It's either a Squatty Potty or a step-n-go.  With her complaints about digestion, I am not surprised she has one, but I am horrified it is included in the picture.  I know about them as my daughter and SIL received one as  a gag gift from some friends.

Janelle moved from her first rental to be close to two wives, one of whom later moved.  Both Meri and Robyn had houses sold out from under them.  I am wondering if any of the three owners offered to sell the houses to them.  My theory is that they wanted to get rid of the Browns as tenants, possibly because the neighbors complained about filming or about Brown behavior.  There was a scene at Robyn's one time and they showed all the cars in front of and down the street from her rental.  Janelle said that her landlord was okay with her moving--and, presumably, breaking the lease--but my theory at the time was that she was asked to leave.

I’m confused there’s a stove in the bedroom or a bed in the kitchen right on top of the stove???

It’s a separate living area in the house, with it’s own kitchen.

 

This is the main kitchen:

That is considered the mother in law suite in the house: per the listing "features five bedrooms, three bathrooms, AND A SEPARATE GUEST STUDIO OR IN-LAW STUDIO".  Other than being a big room with a small kitchenette and its own tiny bathroom I usually picture a MIL suite to have it's own door to the outside, which this doesn't seem to have.

[Cetacean]

Oh, geez, Janelle likes to live on the edge.  She has the dreaded Killer Toaster in her kitchen.

That’s a separate apartment in the house. That’s a strange place to place the bed haha.

[deirdra]

Christine is the one scared of toasters.  Janelle is the one who should be since she puts weird things with drippy toppings in hers.  I noticed Christine now has a huge red toaster.  Perhaps her psychologist (or Gwen) is having her do exposure therapy.  The pink elephant in the room is a red toaster that is the first thing you notice when you enter the kitchen and you take deep breaths until you can remain in the room with it, eventually getting to where you feel safe enough to put bread in it and toast it.

Why are they taking pictures of the house while she is still living there? Is this normal? It seems incredibly intuitive. 

[Absolom]

I probably wouldn't worry about doing anything to make the house look better if the owner was selling it while I was renting either. On that one I can't blame Janelle at all.  How many of her sons are living with her?  Two?

The owners may not be able to afford to have the house sit vacant and perhaps they were hoping the renters' clutter would distract people from seeing the brass around the shower & closet and plywood kitchen cabinets. It looks like the last updates were done 30+ years ago.

It does seem intrusive but it may have been a condition of her lease when she first rented.  It's usually worded something like...with 24 hours notice to the tenant, the property may be show to prospective purchasers and realtors may be allowed access for the purpose of assessing the property...Having showings while the property is occupied means less risk to the landlord of having the property sit empty and not generating income.  If she is on a lease, the occupancy date for new purchaser could be coordinated to the end of Janelle's lease.

If she was originally on a lease that has now expired, she may be on a month to month rental agreement with similar terms and conditions written into the rental agreement.

In this instance though, if I were the landlord here I would wait until Janelle vacated, giving the owner an opportunity to clean, repair, and paint where needed.  The $1,000 +/- that she is paying in rent plus the cost of rehabbing is peanuts compared to what a prospective buyer would deduct from a purchase price given the condition of the property.

Property values must have skyrocketed in Flagstaff this past year.  It makes Robyn's nest at $900,000 seem like a great investment if the realtor and owner think this place is worth anywhere near $700,000.

Unless the rental situation has changed a great deal this past year, rentals are scarce in Flagstaff.  The first thing I would do as a prospective landlord to Janelle would be to check out her previous rental, one look at how she had disrespected this home would cause me to shuffle her application to the bottom of the pile.

[Irate Panda]

On the upcoming season of Sister Wives as told by a disgruntled viewer :

Janelle has to leave her “rennal”.  We don’t know why, but let’s blame it on polygamy.  As we know, rennals are scarce in Flagstaff.  Of course, we don’t know if that’s for everyone or just people looking for a 23 bedroom and 16 1/2 bathroom home.  Gabe and Garrison live in the trailer, which they surreptitiously park in Meri’s 85 car garage because she’s too busy petting Mosby to notice. Savannah moves in with Christine to keep Truely company.  Kody wonders who this new child is during the one time he visits. Unfortunately, it’s a toss up as to whom he thinks is the new child. Janelle uses this time to make a power move and sets up a tent at Coyote Pass to stake her claim on the drainage ditch beautiful pond. Unfortunately for Janelle, it is not a power move because there is no power or water or utilities in general at old Prairie Dog Pass.
