It’s such a challenge to get any work done when it’s cold and rainy in January. BUT that didn’t stop us from taking one of the first steps in cleaning up the BONEYARD area….aka trash removal!
Now, we want to repurpose things any way that we can, but Frank and I have been stumped on what to do with some of the rather random furnishings (sinks, bathtub, food processor) left on the land from the last owner. (Serious head scratching….like… what were they thinking??? 🤷♀️)
After a year ….we have decided that WHEN IN DOUBT – HAUL IT OUT!
So, Frank posted an ad looking for anyone willing to take it all away for a $100. AND THEY DID!
Amazingly, there were quite a few people willing to come and take the junk off our hands. I’m not sure if they planned to just take it to the dump or if they were going to repurpose it. Either way, I was just DELIGHTED to see it gone!
And…not surprisingly…we ran in to some challenges in the process of cleaning up the junk. The ground was just too soggy from the rain and the extra weight in the trailer bed, so the guy’s truck got stuck in the mud when he was trying to leave.
Fortunately, Frank was able to use our truck to pull him out and get him on his way. It left some decent size ruts in the ground, but nothing the tractor can’t fix.
There is something that is so freeing about being clutter and junk free. We can actually see the trees and the land again, and that brings me joy.
