The Fruits of Our Labor
Posted on September 15, 2008 by Ching under Life.
These are the fruits of our labor on Sunday. After working on cleaning out the basement, we ended up with Brian’s truck bed completely full of stuff, David’s trailer completely full also, and then we ended up just piling junk along the side of the house because we simply ran out of room. The funny thing is that David has been meaning to clean out the basement for years now. He just hasn’t gotten around to it. Now the basement is completely cleared of junk. It sucks that it took a catastrophe such as this to get the basement cleaned out, but the upside is that it is. There’s always a silver lining, right?
Obviously, because Brian’s truck was full of junk we just ended up leaving it there for the day. We are lucky that we can carpool. Brian and I drove to work together this morning and then he took the afternoon off so he could help his dad take all that stuff to the dump. I drove him there at lunch and then he just took the truck home when they were finished.
By the way, just so you all know, the city dump won’t accept clothing, fabrics, and plastics. Brian and his dad ended up going across the street to the Waste Management facility to dispose of most of the stuff. Brian said it was more expensive, but worked out better because then they didn’t have to sort through the stuff. Waste Management will take anything. Good to know for future reference. Although, Brian will probably tell you that he’d much rather not have to go there again because the rotting, decaying garbage stank to high heaven.
