Heavy rain washed away a hillside in a metro neighborhood last spring and the effects are still being felt. The unstable land has forced the city to order a second family to move.

Since videotaping their neighbor's deck collapse last May, Jeff Barnhouse and Angie Larsen have worried what might happened if there is another mudslide.

Angie says, "It can be more than a deck. It can be more than a house. It could be a life."

They've been waiting for State Farm, the developer's insurance carrier, to offer a buyout or build-up plan as the land behind their home erodes away.

Jeff says, "It's frustrating to be in the same situation we were a year ago when we thought this would be resolved and get on with our lives."

The couple says there's more urgency because of the growing crack in their basement and a hazard that's moved to the front.

While they wait for an insurance settlement, Angie and Jeff are concerned about their own liability. Last week, city inspectors declared the couple's home unlivable, just like neighbor Tim Riedesel's house.

Riedesel has an updated engineer's report.

He says, "The structural engineer says, 'in my opinion the slide area will continue to grow to the west taking this house with it.'"

Though still making payments on the $150,000 house Jeff, Angie and their six-year-old son are moving to his mother's basement. The city says their home rests on dangerous ground and the backyard is no place for children to play.

State Farm tells Six on Your Side that adjustors are actively working to resolve the claims but it's a complex situation. The insurance company says it has been in contact with attorneys representing the homeowners in an effort to speed up the evaluation of each claim.
