Since we filled up the container so quickly last weekend and still have a whole lot more stuff to toss out, we ordered another container for this weekend so we have some place to put some of the remaining junk. I almost can’t believe that we’re on our second container already because when we got the first one I remember thinking that we wouldn’t be able to fill it up very quickly. Boy, was I wrong. I’m sure that we had a way to compact the trash we end up throwing in there we would be able to get more in there but they charge by the weight and not the volume so we must be better off this way lol.
I went to the house today to have the new container delivered. I got to meet yet another driver who I thought looked a bit like Robbie Williams and was probably about his height as well. I was hoping he could set the container down a bit further on the property since we still have a lot of things to bring out of the attic and wanted to be able to get by the container carrying a piece of furniture but it wasn’t a possibilty because the crane arm they use wouldn’t clean the gutters on the hay loft. Go figure…but I’m sure it will still work out ok if we manage to get that far.
The game plan this weekend is to continue where we left off last time. We still need to empty the rest of the junk from the workshop which will be the new office & kitchen. We need everything out of there by October 1st at the latest because that is when we hope to begin construction…assuming the architect starts getting in bids soon and doing his job finally. Luckily the family had a set of blueprints from a previous addition to the house and we can save a little money there because we would have needed a full set for the house for the construction project. We will still need plans for the attic and probably the workshop too but at least it should be considerably less.
It should be another full weekend and hopefully we won’t be so exhausted this time around when the weekend is over…
