Please don't let the "stuff" crush us.
At one point the accumulation of “stuff” on the property got to be so great it started to encroach on the edge of the road. The town cited the previous owner frequently, and after he left, they cited the bank that took it over. Before the bank put it on the market, they removed at least 30 cars from the property. Even so, the town wanted the inside of the property cleaned out, as well.
Because we saw so much value in the contents, we offered to clean it up before we closed on the property under the condition that we could keep anything we removed. Everyone was in agreement, so in June 2009, Chip and his helper drove up to NY and started sifting through it all, separating the good from the bad. It was a two week process just to get it to the point where you could walk from room to room without fear of an avalanche.
After they returned, saving excellent treasures from certain death, we closed on the property in early August and clean-up began in earnest on Trip Two.
