Dumpster rental...wtf?

I did split a lot of the new scrap 2x4 for starter kindlin for the wood stove...
 
I called a recycle junk hauling place to see what they bid to remove it all...waiting on a quote ( they will come actually look at it)
 
Well, Here is the deal. Dumpster is $460 with their price increase...geeze, and then trying to get these kids to help being they have school and work 2 jobs after school with the only day off for them being Sundays....
So I got some more bids, I found a guy who has his own box truck and trailer with a crew, going to start wednesday morning at 8am... I dont have to touch anything and it will be cleaned out $750

My wallet is smokin, but my back wont be hurtin.

Hope you have a chance to double check before they arrive that there is NOT anything left in there that you want to keep.

I sure like you comment of "My wallet is smokin, but my back wont be hurtin." Sometimes the service is more valuable than what you would save in money by trying to DIY.

That's true. Sometimes saving time and physical well-being are worth spending some extra money. :)
 
My wife said the same thing, I told her what the Bid was and she looked at me and said:

So, its $300 more for them to do all the work?

I said, yep.... then she said, I dont want to move all that crap, Ill pay $300 for them to do it...lol

We were going to pay the kids but they would stroke that job till we ended up doing it ourselves anyways, so, I hired the crew.

There is nothing in there I want, its all molded/mildewed and junk...
So, once the last piece is loaded, I will give them cash in hand and they will never have to look back as they leave. Next month, I will finish the roof on it, then my wife can get her stuff out of the storage locker and we can empty the house of clutter, just in time for the holidays.
 
and get this. Sunday we get a knock at the door. Its some old country fella from a couple towns south. He said he was stopping by as late saturday night he ran into my shed, it was late, all the lights were out and everyone was asleep so he didnt bother us to wake us. He just wanted to stop and make things right. So we walked out and looked, didnt see any damage, so all was good and he was on his way. I like honest people.

Did he say if he had had trouble getting by because of where your neighbors were parked by any chance?

I wish people would do that here someone keep putting boxes in the recycling bin taking up space . You can only dump some on your neighbor's yard and say the wind blew it over.
 
Nah, I wont stoop that low... they will get whats coming to them. Karma is always a "dog gon nit" and when the poo hits the fan on high, its going to spread like wild fire!
Talking to a couple lawyers in the works to see what we can do.... going to be fun.
