what's the deal with pack rats? I have a very dear client begging for my help with the clean up of her's father's house (I really didn't want the job). Its vacant and the neighbor's have had it up to their necks and finally by court order, they are going to take the house because the damn thing is falling apart and filled with trash, so much so that one can not walk through the house and the rest of the yard. The homes are worth 1 mil around this poor guy.

I hired a clean up company and started with tossing whatever is in front of them into the two dumpsters and a large dump truck. As soon as I leave, the poor old guy, owner, stops the workmen dead on their tracks and started taking his trash back onto his property. I am talking about broken bed springs, broken wheel barrows, and rotted lumber and corrugated metals. I hear he has three other properties that are like this and they are all in neighborhoods that are in the million dollar range. How do people get like that? You guy know someone like that and what did they do to clean things up? Better yet, who's like that here? I didn't realize this but its very common and it happens all the time to folks. I can't wait for the rehap to start. He already specified that all the walls will be patched and are not to be taken out. what the heck did I get myself into?

Do they start that crap up at a young age? I have only seem older folks do this and usually senior citizens.
