    A few years ago, while I was delivering parts to a vendor, in Parkland Washington, down by Tacoma.
    I drove past this amazing front yard, of an obvious gearhead, that had literally pushed the limits of his neighbors patience and tolerance, with this amazing array of Beech 18's in his front yard.
    So lets see what you all have stashed in the front yard or shots of what you have seen in others front yards.

    I hate gardening , mowing the lawn, landscaping, watering , weeding , trimming , etc . I can’t stand any of it . But I do it as I don’t want to be “ that house” in the neighbourhood. I got the Merc on jack stands right now as im getting it ready for the season and it bothers me slightly.

    growing up and the stupid stuff I did in my dads driveway and him freaking out , now makes sence to me . Sorry Dad for making your house “ that house “ in the neighborhood !!!! Lol

    Burt Munro, mastered the art of dealing with yard work!
    Live in a simple cinder block shed, let the weeds grow, light the weeds on fire when the neighbors complain!
    Perfect!

    Im 63 years old and I live in “that house” at times it’s gotten out of hand, I had a tilling business so there was always implements for the tractor around plus an extra car or two, a car trailer a boat and jet ski trailers and a 30 foot camper. Yes I had “ that yard” but no more. It’s just the camper car trailer and My Ford, oh yeah the tractor also.

    Actually a "side yard'...and yeah, if I did not live in a secluded rural area, I would not torment the neighborhood with this out front. Get off my weeds. IMG_6379 (2).JPG

    @NoelC
    Yes you are correct, the yard was kept up and neat and clean and organized, so I may have misspoke, when I used the term

    " Pushed the limits of his neighbors patience and tolerance "
    Obviously they thought it was okay as well.

    I speak from current experience, none of my neighbors have complained about the Cessna T-50 Bobcat fuselage I have in my own front yard, that is a great matrix to hang cool stuff on, plus it lights up at night from the solar powered strings of lights attached to it !

    That fuselage wouldn't bother me. It's artsy.
    My limit for pain actually wasn't the cars ( althought I'd have parked them straighter to the yard), it was the loose garbage, unkept weed infested foot long over grown lawn it became, shopping carts in the front yard and all hours foot traffic looking for a place to get high.
    That car was stolen (?) shortly after by one of his late night friends as the story's told. The truck, towed away a few weeks later by the cities by law people (turns out it was a room mate who owned it so Phil didn't care), but the stolen Ford that Phil bought from another guy in the bar... that was the beginning of the end for Phil.

    Nothing in my front yard. All my vehicles are under a roof except my tractor, motor home, and run around Ranger pickup which are in the back yard. Some more stuff hidden behind the back yard next to the woods, I've got 8.5 acres total, about 1.5 in yard, part of the rest cleared, other part is wooded.
