among many, many things she has a couple hornets nests buried in her yard. her eaves are failing. house sits on a water table so she has massive draining/flooding issues. she's got a couple dead trees that need to come down. her neighbor (formerly best friend) and her are warring.. which resulted in the crazy(ier) lady next door spraying grass killer along the fence line... suspiciously only on my mother in law's side of the fence.
she hasn't raked or mowed the lawn since late last summer. she "needs a dumpster" to clean out the house. which almost doesn't really matter because she had a lawn service come out a couple years ago to "fix" her lawn. they killed it. it's barely grass.. full of moss.. sinking in spots and bone dry in others.
"we" volunteered to help her with getting the place back in order.
"we" are going to inherit the house when she passes (allegedly) so "we" are starting to realize that you can't sell a house that's not been kept up for 10+ years. so "we" have a busy summer ahead.
