A couple of months ago we spent about a week with a flooded basement, followed by a couple of after-floods. We moved most of the stuff to higher ground in time, but some things got ruined and in the process of moving everything we found a lot of junk we hadn’t looked at in a very long time. Our neighbor had flooding too, so we decided to split a dumpster and clean house.
The 12-yard dumpster has come and gone. My sister-in-law was here over the weekend and said, “I thought you were going to get rid of a bunch of stuff.” Apparently, removing 6 cubic yards of stuff from our house didn’t make a noticeable dent.
The other reason we needed a dumpster was because we had a small pile of construction debris from the countertop project that the town trash pickup won’t take because they don’t accept building materials. It’s a sad testament to our procrastination problem that the satellite image of our house on Google Maps shows yet another pile of construction debris, from the bedroom closet project. We also had a bunch of leftover siding from the siding project.
We currently have NO CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS. Yay!
