Action 1: After waiting outside house 7 for a while, Max decides to go back to house 3. He tries the door and it is still unlocked. Inside, the dead guy is still where Max had left him. It seems like this fellow wasn't very popular.
Action 2: If Max is going to bash down doors, he's going to need an axe or something, so he searches the house with a focus of finding a hatchet, axe or perhaps a sledge-hammer. Max rummages through all sorts of junk for a while but came up empty. However, he did see a couch that looked quite comfortable, so he lay down and had a sleep there.
