I bought a fixer-upper, and boy does it need fixing! To start with, the yard was totally overgrown. Blackberries and ivy everywhere! You could not step more than two feet out behind the "workshop" as the realtor's description called it, because of all the blackberries and junk. In reality, that workshop was a tiny little tool shed about 8 x 4 feet, no more. The weeds were getting very close to the front yard as well. Beside the carport was an old white car, also overgrown.
When I got possession of the house in September 2012, the previous owners left junk everywhere. From couches left on the front lawn, to old furniture on the rotten deck, and eight or nine mismatched-old tires hidden under the foliage. Inside the house was no better. It reeked of cat urine, and had old furniture and junk all over the place.
My son Daniel and his wife Becky started by clearing land outside. Here they had cut down the blackberries beside the carport, and were moving junk out of the way.
