Out with the old.....

After a remodel, you always have a few trips to go to the dump. We had a HUGE pile of crap (old sheet rock, OLD carpet, old wood from the old framing, and LOTS of old nails). Because we knew there were so many nails, we knew the only way to keep the kids from climbing on it, was to tell them the rats lived under there! lol We had been planning on using Eric's mom's truck and just taking it all to the dumb ourselves and then I had one of my brilliant moments! I called the City of Arco and asked them if they could bring a dumpster to our house. The day they brought the truck (the big Tonka and the kids called it), we instantally filled it up and found to our surprise, not a dent in our pile of old crap!!! So I called the city AGAIN and asked them if they would come get it, dump it, and bring it back. To my surprise, they did and boy, are we glad we had a tonka for this pile of CRAP!!! We figured it would have taken us 500 trips to the dump if we used a regular truck!!!


2 loads of this

equals this!!!

I can't wait to put up our huge picnic umbrella and table and just sit there and enjoy!

that is a whole lot of crap! Crazy! I'm glad you didn't try and do that yourself! It would have taken a very long time to get it all cleared! And now, you have somewhere to relax and enjoy the sunshine! =)
