    So I have an olddd Amaco gas station sign, about 6 foot tall by 10ish feet wide.

    Do I hang it on the outside of my shed facing a nice neighbors house who may only see it if he mows or not hang it and leave it semi hidden like it is now? Or sell it?

    All my neighbors are fortunate enough to get the view of one of my two stoplights.

    If my neighbors are even luckier, I will hang my other stoplight near the current one.

    Drop to my knees and thank God I do not live in an HOA.

    I’d hang it if I had one. I’ve got an old stop light that I finally got around to putting up 2-3 years ago. It actually gets a fair amount of admiration and questions about it.

    Only one is hung out in the open.

    The problem with asking them is we hardly talk, which makes them great neighbors:):

    I have a yellow work truck if that helps determining my place
    Ive been past a house that meets that description multiple times, but no work truck. Its either somebody else's house or you were actually working. I dont think I've ever been by after 5 or on weekends though. I think each time its right after work headed to a friend's house. (I get out at 3:30-4)

    Look behind you
    SE Indy? Stoplights?

    I think I just might know where you live now. LOL

    Maybe ask them if they mind?

    Ooooh! Ooooh! I wanna play too!

    Is it bigger than a bread box?

    But seriously, I can think of at least 3 places I see almost regularly that have a 3-way traffic light on the property...
    a.) S Arlington Ave between Brookville Rd and Raymond St
    b.) S Post Rd between English Ave and Prospect
    c.) Five Points Rd just South of Southeastern Ave

    If one of these is correct, what do I win? LOL

    You were close with B.. 7 years ago. The others are close-ish but not me.

    However you configure your belongings, does it add to the value of the neighboring properties or take away from?

    An outside opinion would be of much greater value than your own.

    And thats why I ask :)

    I'm leaning towards selling it if I can find a buyer.

    First off, best of luck to you on the sale, my friend!

    It'd be great to hear how the market is currently. After the craziness of the last few years. Not to mention the effect of today's interest rates.

    Given there's no HOA, unless it's raggedy I would say hang it. Especially if the only neighbor that will see it would be if they are out mowing etc. Your neighbors don't exactly have to like you.

    I maybe biased as I'm certain there are neighbors that can't stand listening to my race car.
