Winchester TN: Rhonda Holt Interview – Part I
March 27, 2009 by Meth Lab Homes
In 2004, Rhonda and Jason Holt bought a home in Winchester, TN, never knowing that the home they were buying was a former meth lab. For the last 5 years, they have been living in a contaminated meth lab home with their 3 children.
Last month, Rhonda introduced herself to me through an email and we have kept in touch over the last few weeks. Although Rhonda told me some of what her family had gone through in her emails, it wasn’t until I spoke to her by phone recently, that I began to gain a better understanding of what she and her family have been through and continue to go through today.
If you are thinking of buying or renting a home and you have young children, Rhonda and I strongly encourage you to listen and learn from her testimony, which will be presented here on Meth Lab Homes, through a series of podcasts.
If you missed reading Rhonda’s first email to me, you can still read it in the Viewer Letters section of Meth Lab Homes. It is called “Family sickened by chemicals in former meth lab home asks for help“.

Channel 5 Video about the Holt Family
We are dealing with a meth lab cleanup on our property, courtesy of previous occupants. We have demolished the contaminated structure and are building new, which has drained every last resource we have. Now, we are faced with the dilemma of how to decontaminate our furniture- couches and mattresses, mainly. We can’t afford to replace them, and after the nightmare we’ve gone through, just don’t trust second hand or donated items. Does anyone know of a proven way to do this, without exceeding the cost to just buy new items?
