Immobile home: WVDOT gives owner time to move structure from side of road
However this isn't the first time this house has been a roadside unattractive. Before it wound up in its current location, it had been left for weeks along the Kingwood Pike near the Interstate 68 overpass.
The West Virginia Department of Transportation has been in contact with the owner of the home and has given the owner time to get the home moved from next to the roadway, according to spokesman Brent Walker.
"We are in contact with the owner, and we're working with them trying to give them a little bit more time to make arrangements to move the mobile home, " Walker said. "We are just trying to give him a little bit more time before it'll have to be moved by us."
Walker added several groups have been in contact with the owner of the home to try and get it moved from its current position.
"It takes a special permit " to move it, he said. "We're not able to just get in there and lift it. It's the owner's responsibility, so we're just working with him and letting him know that he has a little bit more time."
Walker added he would like to have the home moved sooner rather than later, but no specific timeframe has been given yet.

West Virginia athletic department agrees to partnership with local mulch company
On the same day Kansas received a record-breaking $300 million donation, one of the Jayhawks' Big 12 counterparts secured a deal of its own. West Virginia has agreed to a multi-year partnership with Grant County Mulch that makes the company the official mulch supplier of the Mountaineers' athletic department, the university announced August 13. Based in Petersburg, West Virginia, about 90 miles southeast of West Virginia's Morgantown campus, Grant County Mulch is the largest bulk mulch supplier in the country, according to the Mountaineers' release. REQUIRED READING: Kansas receives record-setting $300 million gift from donor David Booth As part of the newly inked and undeniably unique agreement — after all, how many colleges have an official mulch supplier? — Grant County Mulch will be racing a West Virginia-themed truck in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series at the Richmond Raceway in Virginia on August 15. The truck is owned by CR7 Motorsports and will be driven by Grant Enfinger. Beyond the company's logo being displayed on LED boards at football and basketball games, as well as on the outfield wall at baseball games, the Mountaineers' post-game radio show for football and men's basketball will award a 'Tough as Mulch' player of the game. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. "Both of us — and our parents — were born and raised in West Virginia, so this partnership means more than business to us," Larry and Janie Berg, founders of Grant County Mulch, said in a statement. "It's about honoring our roots, supporting our home state, and being part of something that represents the pride and spirit of West Virginians everywhere."

CARFAX: Up to 45,000 Vehicles Flood-Damaged in Mid-Year Storms
Buyer Beware: Used Car Buyers Should Watch for Warning Signs in Flood-Damaged Cars CENTREVILLE, Va., Aug. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As Hurricane Season begins to ramp up, CARFAX estimates as many as 45,000 vehicles have been damaged by flooding from mid-year heavy rains and flash flooding between April and July swamped thousands of cars in states such as Texas, Kentucky, and West Virginia, and many of those vehicles are expected to soon resurface for sale in the used car market. These deadly storms may only be the beginning: the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is predicting above-normal hurricane activity in the Atlantic Ocean this year. This influx of flood-damaged vehicles is on top of the estimated up to 482,000 water-damaged cars that CARFAX data shows were already on U.S. roads at the start of 2025. "Flood-damaged cars don't just stay in storm-hit areas; they show up all over the country, putting unsuspecting buyers at serious risk," said Faisal Hasan, Vice President of Data Acquisition at CARFAX. "The same vehicles pictured in one state, floating in floodwaters, can get cleaned up by scammers and sold elsewhere. And while these rehabbed cars may look showroom fresh, they're literally rotting from the inside out."Here are the top 10 states that are estimated to have the most water-damaged cars: Florida and Texas lead the nation in the number of flood-damaged cars already on the road. But CARFAX research shows these vehicles often turn up in states where flooding isn't top of mind for car shoppers — including places such as Pennsylvania or Illinois. Consumers who want to avoid buying a flood-damaged car can use CARFAX's free Flood Check® tool at Used car shoppers can also get a free CARFAX Vehicle History Report on Carfax Car Listings from to see if a vehicle has a record of water damage.
