No matter where we went, our tour guide seemed to know somebody.

In the episode " Melty", the house is destroyed by Experiment 228 ( Melty) in an alternate timeline. Gantu has opened up or even blasted the roof in several instances to access the inside; this even led to Jumba adding hinges to the roof to prevent having to repeatedly repair it. In " Mr. Stenchy", Gantu also runs straight through the front door so he could chase down Stitch and grab Experiment 254 ( Mr. Stenchy) inside. However, despite both the repeated damage and its working-class appearance, the house is more technologically advanced than other houses on Earth, thanks to the aliens' presence and Jumba's upgrades to the house; Lilo and Stitch's tower bedroom is probably the best example of these upgrades.
