We had a look at a house a few weekends ago that from the photos on the real estate site didn’t look too bad. The backyard actually looked like it had quite a nice outdoor living area …

Unfortunately though the first thing to hit you when you stepped outside in the yard wasn’t the nice outback veranda, but rather we were overwhelmed by the stench of dog poo!

I don’t think that these people ever picked up after their dog or dogs for all the years they lived there. It was certainly the overwhelming memory that we took from the house when we left that day, and didn’t really encourage us to want to go back and have another look…

So a bit of advice if you are selling your house, clean up the crap!
