Remove the metal awning, make a lattice enclosure for the trash can  if there is nowhere to put it already  and please make a proper oil tank enclosure (if I am guessing that is what is on the side of the house) in white to match the house.

For the past 8 years I have been working rotational shifts in the oil industry.

You just have to plan for it from the beginning.Besides you'll sleep better.Don't be the used car dealer hoping they won't notice that engine noise if you pour some motor honey in the oil.

(not interested in maybes or hypothetical guesses)Reason being - New Jersey is loaded with oil tanks and a septic system is not uncommon.

You should see a nice bump in value after it opens barring disasters on other fronts like interest rates, oil and world peace. 

Looking for information about the area as to the oil  industry and the housing situation there past and a little forward thinking.would like your opinion of the housing situation in the general areas  of the oil industry.
