Today I did same route again. First few places a bust. Last apts I stopped found large metal something (lol), was told by maintenance where I dryer was hiding under steps, checking last dumpster found a few small things (lamps, wire, etc) and a tenant came out and asked if we could take another dryer. OF COURSE! When went to back of bldg to load she asked if we could take an old metal/wood picnic table...OF COURSE...then grabbed a broken sat. dish from neighbor of hers and pulled sleeper sofa frame apt. Those things are heavy!!!! Truck/trailer full (more on this in a second) Took pics...off to the scrap yard:





Before leaving the scrap yard my android beeped at me....6 new emails from freecycle, 4 were 1 guy with all kindsa stuff. I answered and prayed. He called me back! Went right over and picked up 4 dishwashers, 4 lawnmowers, brass fans, sink, heater, misc scrap metal, and offered to take rest to dumpter (only a few things) and got a new ceiling fan for bf's moms porch (kissin' butt). Leaving on trailer until tomorrow. A pic:

Time for tacos, was hungry

While sitting at Taco Bell..the tele rings...craigslist ad put this morning in WANTED--Want to buy old OEM catalytic convertors $40 and up..WALA..Infinity owner with 2, picking up before weekend.

Total made on 1st load was $110. plus sold a dryer to appliance store bf hooked me up with for $30.

Second load still on trailer.

Copper fell again, dangit.

I was really having a good time until I met up with Mike...I wish I had taken a pic! I don't know why I didn't...was too busy telling him about my day I guess. Anywho, I thought my truck n trailer were full....OMG...I don't know how he got all he did in his...it was like 4 times stacked taller than what I had fit. I need to learn how to pack truck and trailer.

Tomorrow...staying home. Going to work on flyers and cold calls. Getting up at 430 is for the birds. BF wants hot dinner tomorrow night..take out last 2 days.

If you and your bf were closer, I could help you learn the tricks of packing a trailer. One of the few things that my ex partner taught me to do real well to maximize space.

The better you pack, the more you can haul.

One piece of advice I can give, is anything really big and has room to shove small things in, do it.

If you get some where, and you need to move things around, do so, to where you can still open it up and toss smaller things into it, etc.
