That backhoe sure saved a bunch and was nice of the neighbor to help out there. I know ya will be happy when it all gets gone....sure is a lot of work to be just dealing with trash, and ya have to keep asking yourself....What was they Thinking?....of course it is obvious they didn't care and didn't mind leaving it for someone else to deal with.....doing really Good work Mike....I wouldn't be able to stand it either.

Just to show we have made some progress in the last couple of days. Teresa took a picture of the 1st pile after most of it is gone. There is still quite a bit to pick up since I had the neighbor stir it up also.

And on a more pleasant topic, my baby made it a point to supervise those young men that she doesn't know
very well.

such a good baby girl. watch 'em close maisy, watch 'em close. and yes mike if my piles of trash looked like that and all the world can see it i'd have to be hauling it out. i'm just lucky mine is out in the woods and out of site.

Geez Mike, looks like what you needed was a crane with a huge magnet!!

We made a pretty good dent in it this morning. I would have liked to do more but the waste transfer station closed at noon. I got the boys coming back Tuesday so between what I get bagged up before then and their help we should knock it out then.

By now the transfer station operator is saying
"Him AGAIN!!!"

 

[Mike CHS]

I doubt he bothers Bruce since all they do is point you toward the dumpster that I "transfer" the stuff out of my truck.

I was talking to him and he says there has been a large influx of people moving from other places and it seems they are less tolerant of having an exposed dump in their yard so he has seen a lot of folks like us.

 

[Bruce]

Well that is good, no place needs a lot of trash strewn about and metal rusting away waiting to snag some unsuspecting soul ... or their pets or livestock. All that metal can go somewhere and made into new products.

I guess I am really lucky I haven't found a dump ... yet. I have found a couple of odd things, might just be a matter of wanting to dig a hole in some new place though

You definitely win! You have WAY more trash than we did! It sure feels good to get it cleaned up and GONE. Good girl Maisy. Keep watching and let them know they are being watched. Mike, you might want to casually mention that she can jump fences......when she wants to.

I've done that quite a few times! I think between the dogs and the evil turkeys, we are all set.

Mike, y'all have done so much! We have had to do the same. Still so much trash! We actually had to move all our compost to one field in particular, to help cover the glass. We've picked up so much already, but everytime it rains we find more Have you found a cast iron bathtub yet? What about concrete stairs?

You have put in so much time and effort to get to where you are. So happy for you!
