I have gone through garden furniture outside and made choices about what comes with us and goes. The hibachi, properly cleaned, will come with us, but damn did it rust over the last few years. I scoured the grill down with a wire brush until I realized that it was mostly oxidization. Lawn chairs were tossed in the garbage. I don't have a lot of use for the yard tools out there, and may offer them to the landlord for when he moves back.

Everybody switch browsers to Firefox. Google is doing some shitty-ass stuff with Chrome that will FORCE their ads onto your eyeballs, and if you don't go along, they won't LET you use Chrome. Good. Tell them to go fuck themselves.
