    Everyone Wins

    I had a lady contact me about a cheap/free washer. I told her my washers are $10 delivered (she's in town) and I could be there this morning to drop it off. Well I get there and in talking as I unload the washer, I find she's a single mother of 3 kids and is renting the place. Come to find out previous tenants had left quite a mess in the side yard and the landlord was looking for someone to clean it out for scrap trade. well there is a good bit of scrap including fridges vacuums, recliners a pull out couch a dilapidated camping trailer shed full of junk ext ext "some" dump items and few bags of trash seems about 40/60 trash to scrap.
    Well there is a little bit too much trash fee's for a straight trade but the work is not an issue (previous guys who looked at it were scared of the work). The lady says I can take a load off my rent here and there for the dump items and can burn all the wood. PERFECT!!!

    she get's a good washer cheap/ a cleaned up yard (was worried about wasps and other stingers/biters) and in good with landlord

    landlord gets the mess cleaned up on the cheap

    I get a little work during slow times and enough scrap to justify my time.


    So I'm gonna tear that place up have a game plan already and no real timeline. Just gotta refresh my memory in the old threads on campers (no ac unit.. that I remembered) and git er done.



    Everyone wins.
