[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No sane buyer would reject your house for this. They may appreciate having neighbors who take care of their stuff enough to protect it in the winter. [/quote]

Why collect junk outside?  Op aren't there garages?  If not, aren't there basements?  The neighbors seem kind of backward, only doing what they have to to get by.  I can see why you are moving, but I hope the potential buyer doesn't feel the same way. [/quote]

Reading comprehension, PP. OP didn't say there was junk. She's complaining about the look of the tarps. For all we know, there could be thousands of dollars worth of nice patio furniture under there. Or a valuable cord of oak being seasoned for the fireplace. Or a fire pit or pool or whatever. [/quote]

Right - because the way to "protect" something "valuable" is with a $5 trap that looks awful.  You're that neighbor, aren't you?![/quote]

Tarps are actually excellent at protecting things from the elements. You sound incredibly dimwitted if you think that because a tarp is inherently inexpensive it can't do the job it was designed for. Name me some products that would serve this purpose better than a tarp??[/quote]

I can "name me" several.  One of which is a newly composed shed, or any number of structures designed for holding firewood, specifically.  A tarp over anything is slovenly and cheap looking, as if you are looking to spite your neighbor.  Is it you? [/quote]

I wouldn't spend $1000 to build a shed to house my $200 in firewood. And you think they should build a shed to house their patio furniture as well?  LMao you really are that person  :roll: .    I'd rather spend that money elsewhere. Don't be a fool and try to sell your house in winter I guess, hopefully lesson learned.[/quote]
