This place is next door to my shop. Those of you who have been by or know me well enough have heard the stories and seen the clips of the previous owners and her “performances” we’ve been getting for 4 years. Well her kids finally moved her down with them, and we snatched the place up for cheap. The plan is to completely level the property, re fence 80% of it in with our current yard, and leave a very small piece out near the road to eventually build a barndo duplex or something to rent out. Here are some pics:






She had hoarded herself out of the house and was living in a tent in the driveway. Pretty sad situation

At this point we have just piled up all the trash, hauled a little bit of scrap and the vehicles, and loaded one 30 yard open top to haul. That single open top is maybe 1/10 of what’s in the yard and cost a whole bunch of money, so tomorrow I’m picking up a 15 yard dump trailer that this will pay for. We’re less than 3 miles from the dump, so between myself and my guys we can probably make 4-6 loads in a day.





The family found over $6k cash stashed in the house. I had no intentions of going through it but now I’m thinking we will empty it out and see if there’s more. I won’t post the stuff we’ve found in there so far but you can text me for them, didn’t have water or electricity for over a year but she sure was keeping the love shack in business.

Can of gas and match, wait til it’s raining.

Wow, looks like a tornado hit it.

Call the fire department and see if they want to do a training burn on it.

Wow! It's amazingly sad how some people live their life. Good on ya for cleaning it up.

Glad you got it

We did that with an old farm house in east Texas. Had to disconnect all utilities first. Not just have them turned off, had to physically disconnect them.

your life wil be even better soon.

It's like an episode of hoarders, I hate it so bad but am completely mesmerized that people live like that. I can't hardly stand one thing on the counter that doesn't belong.

Congrats on getting a handle on the situation. Will look so much better once leveled and fenced.

looks like you could have an estate sale, come and get it for cheap to those in the area. might save you a few minutes on the clean up. I see a couple of pickup tool boxes that might help pay for some of your troubles.

refer over to the other thread regarding how to sell something.... put up an ad on FB market place to come pick & choose, you load, low ball offers accepted

Roll off dumpsters are in your future?

I have zero interest in dealing with fb marketplace people



I filled up a 30 yard in 7 minutes. Going to pick up a 15 yard dump trailer today and I’ll have one of my guys hauling loads to the dump several times a day when we can spare him.

Wow, buddy! You got your work cut out....but I am thoroughly happy that you got the place and it can take shape over time. Very curious what you've found! But almost scared to see what you found! LOL

My thoughts exactly. Looks like a tornado except the house is still standing.

We went through 4 20 yard dumpsters on a typical 1150sf house renovation, and we didn’t have the junk yard that you do. Good luck. You’ll need that dump trailer and it will quickly pay for itself. I would’ve went that route, but I was 55 miles from the dump.

Burning it and then cleaning up the remains would be a lot faster.

I'd accidentally throw a cigarette out near a gas can that just happened to be sitting on top of that pile of junk and wait a couple of hours before I called the fire department.

I can related, we hauled off over 80k pounds of scrap metal from my FIL place, mostly all hand loaded, several trips to the dump and several large burn piles along with 2-3 20 yard roll offs that was all out around his shop/barn. Took us several weekends and many trips to the scrap metal place with only having access to my 20' GN pipe top with plywood sides installed. It's not a fun task ... but the temperatures are better now than come the summer!

there was a lot of stuff that we could have taken the time to sell but just needed to get it done pretty quickly.

It rhymes with bilbo, lots and lots of bilbos. Also a few nutt bugs

Was she a bread maker- Dill dough?

Picked up the trailer a bit ago, we won’t have a skid steer back here until next week and then we’ll start making runs.

Do yourself a favor and smash out all windows and removes all doors to prevent squatters

Once we get done rummaging through it we will smash in all the entrances

Dude!! Would be cool to see photos of him loading them in a dump trailer with all the other trash, joy kill bruh!


Great pickup sir, lot next to your place is almost unheard of, or overpriced, great score.
