Today we visited our local transfer station. We made one pickup truck run of bags, then a full-load (one filled minivan, a full truck and full utility trailer). All told we dropped off 1.1 tons of drywall and non-burnable wood. That's a lot of garbage. We still have another trip to make tomorrow, but only a truckfull.
Since the house is a construction zone, lunch for the under-5 group was served in the garbage hauling minivan.
Also, we drilled a lot of 2" holes in the ceiling joists of the kitchen and the laundry room for wires. Mr. Forstner (guy who probably invented the Forstner drill bit) I love you. Drilling so many 2" holes in such a short time with such little effort is all due to Forstner and Milwaukee Electric Tool. That team allowed fast hole drilling.
The window is outlined in green tape in this picture.
Second shift work tonight will be hole drilling for wire in the garage.
This picture is from the road between our house and our apartment. It helps remind us why we are here.

1.1 tons? That is the same estimated weight of 1 million dollars! The breathtaking views are a driving force behind "country" living, and I am elated to see no signs of snow...ours is almost all gone. One downside of snow melting-MUD!
BIG hands you know you're the one!
cali-gal here ... just wonderful pic. absolutely wonderful view. (this weekend, i'll see what pics i can snap so you can see the 'standard footprint' of that east bay/california suburb for which i am somewhat captive.)
