What project are you embroiled in? It’s it going well? What hangups are you running into? And, dare I ask, are you having fun with it?

    I don’t know if it is ridiculous but the whole ordeal feels ludicrous. Basically, we’ve moved into a house that had been previously flipped. I am not sure who the previous owners were, but they absolutely used their yard as a trash can. We found an entire mattress hidden beneath a large pile of brush. The ridiculous part is our futile attempt to clean up all the glass! I think the only way to get rid of it all would be to dig up all the grass and replace it, but we are renting and I am not upgrading the home for them, so we’ve just been slowly picking it all up as we find it.

      Can you contact your landlord and ask them to have it cleaned up? I can’t imagine the legality of leaving a bunch of potentially dangerous junk in the yard for new tenants to deal with. Maybe it would be more persuasive to talk to some landscaping people and get quotes for cleanup using whatever method they recommend.

        I’m not sure about the legality of it, though that’s something to look into. I am actually fairly certain I am my landlords very first tenant as they don’t seem to know what they are doing, and they bought the house all of a month before I moved into it. They may not even be aware of the issue. I should probably talk to them.
