<p>[QUOTE="UserUnknown, post: 67863, member: 622"]I had met people along the years here who cleared out places to be torn down or after renters move out.

I had thought in the past of forming some sort of business to help these people regain control of their homes without having to do it for the whole world to see. Just a "pipe dream" as I know nothing about the legalities of such or how to setup or operate a business.</p><p><br /></p><p>It reminds me a bit of childhood living in tornado alley.
