Junk and grass

This past weekend with the assistance of friends I was able to get the garage cleaned out enough that a construction dumpster can be put in there. I am hoping that it is delivered sometime this week and that the demolition starts soon after.

All of the metal objects (ranges & some heaters of varying kinds) were loaded up on a trailer and taken to Grossman Iron & Steel for recycling. It was pretty neat watching the crane with a magnet empty the trailer and toss the items up onto a huge pile of metal junk. The photo above was one of the nicer ranges starting on the journey to meet its maker (or at least a giant metal shredder). I got a whooping $25 for what we took down there. I guess that is better than having to pay someone to pick the stuff up.

Tonight I mowed the yard with my new reel lawn mower. While it cuts the grass pretty well, it does not cut the plantain seed stems. This is a problem as that is mostly what needed to be cut. Hopefully I can make it through the summer with the reel mower and by next summer have the yard landscaped and/or plantain free.
