The seller filled two dumpsters (skips) full of stuff. The first was removed on Friday, the second sat from Saturday through Monday. So on Sunday after it appeared that the seller and her family had finished up and left the house, I did a bit of diving and among a number of items, I filled half the back of my truck with clothing to take to Goodwill, as I said yesterday. There were tools, CDs, blankets, and all kinds of stuff. Just because I have a house now doesn’t mean I need to acquire stuff, but there were some useful things, along with a fair amount taken to charity. It’s a pity I didn’t get to the first dumpster.
At any rate, the seller arranged for a third dumpster to be left after the second was removed — I guess she felt there were things left that I might not want. Good deal. So today I spent:
12 hours – cleaning the garden shed and clearing its gutters, fixing some of the back yard water drainage, trimming large single branches, removing some stumps of rotted ponderosa, separating out reusable cinder blocks and bricks; beginning to dissemble the fence. With the dumpster here, I have a free opportunity to get rid of large items that wouldn’t easily fit in a garbage bin. Started cleaning the garage so that I can use that space as a staging area.
1 trip to Home Depot – drain pipe extenders, except I got the wrong adapter sizes, so will have to go back. Monsoon season has begun and there were thunderheads towards the Rim. It got overcast here which broke the heat.
