Dumpster away!

You know your dumpster has worn out its welcome when neighbors start giving directions using it as a landmark. "We're two doors from the red dumpster." "Turn left on Canby just past the red dumpster. You can't miss it!"

Thankfully, Loren Fischer, our all-around terrific refuse service provider, came to collect the second of our two 30-yard walk-in dumpsters the other day. This auspicious event marks the first time we have access to the entire driveway and both garage bays. Loren has terrific and flexible service that is perfect for the DIY home restoration generalist! Thanks, Loren.

Loren hauled away just shy of five tons of debris!


With the dumpster gone, we now have a new view of the house and garage.

I worked in Ann Arbor for a year or two for a guy who'd buy distressed properties and squeeze as many student apartments as possible into them. (He also built one model unit for a home show which he dubbed the "condominimum.") He did all the plumbing and wiring himself, there was one painter, and I did everything in between. It was kind of a shoe-string operation, but I'll bet he's wealthy now. Dumpsters were getting really expensive, so for a fraction of that cost, he'd buy a beater truck, I'd pack it to the gills, he'd drive it to the dump, hoping no one would bring up the subject of registration - and then bicycle home.
