I like how you exercised your right, as the owner of all that scrap, to do with it as you please. People romanticize refurbishing a lot of old stuff but in the end 99% of it ends up sitting there rotting before one's eyes.

Was looking at 11 acres that is completely covered in scrap... They want way too much for it though. It's been up for sale off and on for 5 years. They must not be very serious. Between vehicles, scrap metal, abandoned trailers, etc. I'd have to spend $30k on equipment to use to clean it up. Probably spend another $20k to actually get rid of everything. Then the all cleaned up and replanted with grass it might be worth what they are asking. It's insane. Probably take a year to clean it up.
