I’m visiting a rural part of the southern US, and I have noticed that about 2/3 of the houses outside the town have yards full of cars and tractors in various states of disrepair, as well as tons of other miscellaneous stuff. Why is that? Is it kind of a culture of self-reliance and a supply of spare parts? Some other reason?
Most of that is “still good. I’m gonna fix it up when i get a chance.” If there is still room, there will be more stuff.
Its the redneck retirement plan. They’ll fix this stuff and sell it for amazing amounts of money someday.
Someday, that old planter will become a fountain.
What are you talking about? That old tire out there in the yard? The tractor sized one? Totally going to become a; work out tire, tire swing, large plant pot, retaining wall/bench combo for a tree, decorative whatsit for the holidays, social spot, pool, etc.
One of these days, just wait, it’ll even raise my (abysmal) property value.
Every time we move house, my office gets smaller. As we have a rule where the work room needs to be self-contained, my space to stash old NICs or HDDs that I need to shred is contracting.
