86'n It

Yep. That's the name of my new band and a tribute to getting the dumpster all loaded and taken away!

Honestly, we probably could have filled 2 dumpsters, but Marc wants to salvage the rest of the concrete chunks to use to make a wall on the side of the house. (I think he's high off the success of the first reclaimed concrete wall.) So the yard is not as clean as I'd like, but still much better.

I was not looking better. I was sweating buckets, lifting close to my body weight and getting "dirt mittens". Oh, dirt mittens, I missed you! (Actually, it is more like clean mittens considering my hands are the only clean things.)

We did however get rid of the old rotten railroad ties, our old black-painted plywood countertops (Can you still believe we had those around?), real counter top miscuts #1 & #2 (We gave up on the idea of doing something with these. We have too many projects already.), a huge pile of rotten wood and lath, lots of broken concrete, the old swingset, old rotten lattice, etc. etc.
