We're getting to the pointy end of our tourist cottage settlement ... after only starting negotiating in April 
... but that's another story.

... about collecting "junk" over the years and having to dispose of it in a hurry ... the vendors of the cottages asked if we wanted to keep any of the "building materials" he had stored down the back of the property. Hubby and I went for a look and, realistically, asides from a few bessa blocks and a couple of fence posts, the entire (at least) 20 skip bins worth of stuff is nothing more than 30 years worth of complete rubbish.
Broken toilets - sinks - rusty metal - rotted timbers - glass panels - warped doors - you name it ... he now has two weeks to remove it all - plus the two shipping containers - plus the 4 bay shed stacked to the rafters with "junk" ... glad I'm not in his shoes.
An important lesson - keep on top of managing your horded "junk"
