Move out, clean up day 5
I ventured into the shed to clear all the stuff that had been stored there.
It was an jungle of bicycle parts, old toys, and a stack of storage boxes all belonging to Cameron. Everything was covered in old walnut shells, the floor was inches thick in them. I laid everything out on the grass whilst I swept up the floor of the shed.
Kelli came out and had a fit. “You can’t leave that stuff there, we’ll get into trouble with the city”
“Well that was the point of clearing out the shed” I retorted.
Earlier, on our first donation run to Goodwill, yes imagine, we were actually taking thing to the place instead of carrying it away.
We stopped off at City Hall to pick up a couple vouchers allowing us to take crap to the city rubbish tip.
“ I have an idea” Kelli announced, “we will put the bike stuff on Marketplace and take the rest of the boxes to the dump” So that is exactly what we did.
The bike stuff disappeared into a truck shortly after it was posted, now if we could only do that with the old TV’s.
“ You threw my old toys away” Cameron cried, when we told him, and as a consolation we said which dumpster they were in.
At the end of the day the shed had been emptied out, so mission accomplished.
Amongst Kelli’s selling triumphs of the day was finding a buyer for a pair of old windows that she found in a skip. We were busy dumping our rubbish, when she made the discovery.
One again she showed me that money can be made from anything, if you are prepared to dig deep into a large smelly skip.
Another Lifetime to go
