how to fix crazy batsh1t insane father, and backyard and front yard?

Question

ok my dad is crazy, he puts everthing everywhere in the backyard, he is one of those guy who never throw away anything, so he places rocks, wood, tires, old broken dishwasher, old broken washing machine, and plants trees and flowers everywhere, in the backyard, it looks like crazy person lives here, he thinks he did a good job, I can fix it by removing the trash and re do the landscape, but he does not let me throw away his trash, and he likes the badly placed plants the way they are, so I can't move those, I go insane just looking at it, I know the neighbors do too, he makes it worse day by day, anyone got any ideals?

Answer 1

Sounds like your father has issues but he is still your father and it is his house.

Make a deal with him. Get one of the small storage barns/houses for the corner of the backyard. He can keep anything he wants in there but not in the new backyard and front yard you are going to landscape.

If worse comes to worse, an anonymous call to the Health Dept may solve your problems of getting rid of stuff. But be aware that notice is usually for 48 hours and could involve a penalty if the yard is not cleaned up.

Answer 2

If of age, move out. If not, learn to live with it. What does your mother say? If she goes along with her husband, you have no say in it. Its not your house or yard. My father filled out back yard with stuff also. His were job related , that made it a bit better. I never let my husband follow suit. Good luck

Answer 3

Call the city housing inspectors. If there is one where you live, they will send him citations and make him get rid of the stuff

Answer 4

oh just leave the old man alone you'll be old some day

Answer 5

through it all away he won't mind if he is insane will he?
