If there is any thing that I have learned about my view on yards, it's this: GIVE ME GRASS. I just can't get enough of it. To me, a yard is supposed to be just that. So on a previous foreclosure, the first thing I tackled was removing the more than 100 hundred bricks and stones and pavers from the yard.
This house is more of the same. I just can't stand for grass to be covered up! So I took advantage of the fence being broken and backed my truck all the way into the backyard. And I lifted up all the stones and wood from the ground. It's time to see dirt and let grass grow (I will plant it later in the fall).

Everywhere you looked, you saw more stones! |

I don't even know. A flat area for a shed? |

Get out of my yard!!! |
Judging by the amount of stones and the shape, I have come to the conclusion that they had a swimming pool. I cannot verify this with any aerial photos, though, so who knows. All I know is I don't like stones on the yard!

I listed them for sale. Someone else can have them!!! |
So I removed them all. I trashed the rotten wood, and I listed the stepping stones on a Facebook selling site for $2 apiece.
UPDATE: On August 27, the stones sold! I received $52 for what I considered junk to me! This house has given back already! Woo hoo!
