My home is currently a literal construction site and my fenced in back yard is full of debris, rusty nails, ladders left propped up against the walls and my patio furniture and BBQ grill thrown about as if they were trash.

Unless your property is rented as a furnished unit and it says that in your lease I would treat it the same as a barbeque grill or chair left by another Tenant.

However, we meet at Michael's Charcoal Grill off A St in Midland and we meet in Odessa as well.

You can't install a return air grille into the room if you have water heater and or  furnace in the room due to the exhaust the give off. 

I applied everywhere and Chipotle Mexican Grill was the first to offer me a crew position at $8.50/hr. 3 weeks in I was offered a kitchen manager position.

We have a large grassy area and are thinking about adding a covered picnic area where our residents can grill, congregate, eat at picnic tables, etc. 

A great group is Eddie Gant's get together at the Texans Grille.  

He tells me that one county over it can get crazy in court.For instance, one particular magistrate makes him spend tweny minutes proving his case, grills him pretty intensively, and requires that he produce every piece of paper that might be remotely relevant.Worse yet, even if the defendant does NOT show up, the magistrate still makes the LL exhaustively prove his case and jump through the same hoops.Maybe I'm spoiled because locally I've never faced that kind of nonsense.But here's my question: is that type of goofiness the norm or the exception to the rule?

I get home, say hi to my wife and, she tells me the neighbors invited over for brats and burgers on the grill.

When a seller makes the effort to call they are not likely expecting to be grilled.
