Two homes and two families in Wellington are teetering on the edge, after a slip last week left their houses unsafe to enter.

They are facing an uncertain future after the council 'Red Stickered' their homes indefinitely on Friday.

The Philips family has spent the weekend in limbo unsure about what to do or what options they have. 

Jaime Philips told Māni Dunlop they would be out of their house for at least three months.
