One Man's Junk....

After being in the garage for over a year, the oven is finally gone!!

'One man's junk is another man's treasure'

  How true that is.  Our neighborhood clean-up is tomorrow
 which means that for the last week people have been
 putting all the stuff that has been cluttering up their
 houses, garages and yards that they can't fit in the garbage cans and
 is not  worthy to take to the D.I. to the curb
 for Sandy City to come pick up. 
 This is done in the spring and the fall each year.
  This also brings  a variety of people driving around
 scouting for the best 'treasures' in the piles
 that they throw in the back of their trucks and take with them.
Who are these people and what do they do
with all the stuff the find? Do they have piles of useless stuff
all over their yards?  Do they have to park their
cars in the driveway because the stuff is packed
in their garage?
 I guess it doesn't matter.
  Our cars can fit in the garage 
and the stuff is now gone from our house.  
So it is no longer my problem.  
  You would be amazed at the stuff people take.
  Before I had a chance to take these pictures there was
 also a big quarter pipe skateboard ramp,
  about 6 small skateboard ramps, a bike and a basketball hoop.
  All of which were completely broken, cracked, chipped or warped.
 There is a reason we are throwing all this stuff away... 
it's broken!!!
   As we were eating breakfast Sunday morning we sat
 and laughed as we watched these 3 men 
 rummaging through our pile deciding what they would take.
There are still a few things left in the pile, but there is sill one
day till the big dump trucks come and take the rest away. 
Happy scouting my friends.
  I hope you find what you are looking for.
  If not come back in the spring and try again!!!

Did I also mention that this is against the law?  
But we won't tell!

That is funny, at least you get rid off all your junk. It always feels so good to get rid of all that stuff.
