We live in a two storey house in Australia. Like many houses of this style, the downstairs area is more of a US style....in that our bedrooms, sitting room, kitchen and bathroom are all upstairs. Downstairs is a converted garage area....looks like what the Americans might call an unfinished basement.
It's got bare brick walls but is carpeted...it's a useful space potentially because there's also a shower room and a laundry room down there and in summer, it's cool.
HOWEVER. DH has filled half of it up with absolute shite. He gets distressed when I try to help organise it or make suggestions about it.
I can't live like this....I've just managed to get him to throw out a broken dishwasher, a broken TV and an old juicer....plus two chewed yoga mats.
But there's boxes of...bits...you know, a box with random crap in them...and other stuff....two bikes, tools...
He has a shed outside...a good one...but in that is a pool table that's blocking up the area so he can't tidy it to put the shit in it.
The pool table is old...and it's broken on one of the legs and it's slate...massively heavy and dangerous. I've suggested taking a fucking axe to it so we can destroy it in situe and then move the pieces but he's clammed up again.
We can't pick it up between us....it needs three or four men. I suggested paying 4 of DD's mates to do it...they're 18 year old lads....but no. He doesn't want to pay anything.
I don't know what to DO anymore. The second issue is that one of the dogs has fleas...we have two dogs and they live downstairs so that area needs cleaning and bombing...but how can I do that when there's his SHIT EVERYWHERE!??
Please advise.
