anything in your house make you say, "what were they thinking?!" ?

    @pregnantbee: I continue to be amused by this thread, but I think your house for giants took the cake for me...!!!

    I don't have a pic but the previous owners installed a ceiling light and just ran the cord to the plug without even wiring it through the wall. So it was a light on the ceiling with a cord dangling in the middle of the room. We were definitely scratching our heads at that decision.

    @TemperanceBrennan: @mrs. wagon: Haha. Glad you enjoyed hearing about my house. I'm only 5'2", so you can imagine how funny it is.

    - They kept the hedge so wide, the previous owner had to crawl into the middle of the bush just to cut it - he told us this!

    - He built a reclining sunbed out of leftover wood from the deck into the deck. There's gaps in between the wood where leaves and debris fell into. We found years of decaying leaves underneath/inside that thing! So the person laying on it was laying on top of dead leaves. Nice!

    - Someone buried a metal vase with mesh covering it underneath a tree in the backyard. It was a mosquito spawning site and it took us weeks to figure it out!

    - We found a small marble etched tile with a name ESKY on it. Near it was the remains of a pet wrapped inside a plastic bag(!) near the bushes right beside the deck.

    - There was numerous plants in the garden that was never taken out of it's original plastic container. As in they buried it in the yard with the container.

    I'm sure there are a few more I've forgotten over the years, but those were the big ones!

    @SugarplumsMom: OMG someone wanted Mosquitos to reproduce in their yard? Gross!

    Our previous owner planed jagger bushes in the back. Idk what he was thinking?! And some other plant that was supposed to spread like ivy but it didn't. The second half of our backyard was a hot mess.

    We had someone remove 16 trees & clear the brush last summer and when they were done we found the craziest shit in the back. Like a chain connected to a railroad tie, but these people never had a dog. Weird metal things and tons of old beer cans. And a circle made out of bricks that we thougt could be for a firepit, but with so many trees.....

    It made me think this guy was even creepier than we originally thought. I kept saying "what in the hell was he DOING back here?!" I told my husband it was like some f*cked up ritual place back there!

    @Mrs. Jump Rope: It was the weirdest thing ever! I don't know if it was intentional or a freak accident because the mesh on top of it was kind of like the chicken wire they wrapped in between the hedge to keep their (hunting) dogs in. But why in heavens would anyone dig down a metal and rusting vase? They were so weird!
