My hubby has some old vehicles in our yard. If you came to our home, you would probably think you pulled into a wrecking yard, sigh.
You see, my husband LOVES his vehicles. He loves rebuilding them, tearing them apart and making them run (not in that order). It is not a business, it is just his hobby and he enjoys doing it.
Me on the other hand? Ya, all those ‘yard ornaments‘ hanging around my yard? I do not enjoy my hubby’s hobby, AT ALL. I want my yard back. Gah.
Anyways, I married the guy so he is not going anywhere (thank heavens because I do love the guy ;)), so what am I to do? Apparently nada. Frustrating but whatever :/
So with all his vehicles lying around, some of them have to be covered, because they are torn apart and the motor is exposed, etc. So, my hubby has to have a car cover on them. Other cars he has, are covered with gorgeous tarps. Lots of fun stuff in our yard! Yay!
When we first moved in, I was SO excited because the yard was SO nice and the view, oh my goodness was amazing! It still is at least that is there.. Oh well, things could be a worse, right? My family is healthy and we have a nice home with a yard so I should just shut up 🙂
Does your significant other have a hobby like my hubby? Is your yard littered with old vehicles and car parts? Please make me feel better and say yes, LOL!

Reminds me of the Jeff Foxworthy quote: “You might be a redneck if…. you have more non-working than working vehicles in your yard” That was my yard growing up!
Idaho PBS collects broken down vehicles for donations and I know their are many other charities that do too. Check your local PBS or local charities if you ever want to talk him into donating.
Bonus: Tax write off!

Our husbands would get along quite well. I will warn you, they wont stop if the love cars and trucks its a lifelong thing. We have a small yard in town and my husband is forever in a fight with the city – covering, putting them on blocks whatever.
On the other hand, they can usually tinker and get almost anything going and you save a ton on car repairs. You also usually have a part extra to fix allmost anything and their buddies come over and get parts too.
If we had your yard, it would be worse…. mine LOVES cars and trucks and you name it.
Ya gotta love ’em (most of the time) ha!
