    Trash picker uppers

    My folks are both realtors, so I know this is true.

    Summer time is when MOST families move, because kids aren't in school. If you pick up metal from trash nights, take (mental)notes on houses with For Sale, or Sold signs in their lawn.

    Also, garage sales. A lot of people throw their leftovers away, so if you're not comfortable getting your hand in the cookie jar before the sale is over, go back to that area the next trash day.



    (I have not had a day to rest this month, have a pick up truck full of christmas lights waiting to be snipped :|, and trips to the yard every day....)
