My wife and I have taken over her parents family farm. She and her brother grew up on it but neither has lived here in more than 25 years. He got his inheritance early, wife gets the farm when MIL (in care) passes. FIL passed three years ago and was a voracious packrat - I’ve spent a lot of the last 3 years getting rid of his stuff (a lot of obsolete electrical parts, junk vehicles, scrap metal, etc). BIL still has a bunch of stuff here from when his parents were here - cars and parts mostly - that I’ve never asked him to move out because he says he wants to take them for retirement projects in a couple years, although I’ve tried to get him to help ID exactly what he wants to keep with little success. Right now he seems furious with me and I want to know if anyone thinks he has a right to be. He has his old Freightliner parked next to my driveway in the bush where it’s been sitting for more than 20 years collecting dirt, moss, being overgrown with blackberries and essentially being (in my eyes) an eyesore. I’ve asked a couple times if he could make a phone call or two to try to start the process of getting rid of it, and he started dropping F-bombs on me last time. I intentionally didn’t set a date or time to have it gone, just want to get the process started. I understand it’s emotional for him that I’ve taken over his dad’s property and am likely doing stuff he doesn’t like, but I feel like I have to do what I feel is right, and making my home less of a junkyard is a priority for me. AITA?
