When I do something like that wife meets me at back door, "You might as well throw them away, cause you are not putting them in MY washing machine!"

When WE got a new wash machine last year, I decided to put the old one in the basement.  It’s a garage clothes only machine now.  It works great, but it would occasionally hold on to some bleach during white loads, and stain the next dark load.

We have a yard and a half for our weekly dumpster.  Most weeks, it fills up.  Some times, Grandpa or old man Jerry swing in and toss stuff.  Sometimes, other friends down the way too.  But for the extra $15/month, I say it’s worth having!  It stays in place and the truck backs right to it.  No weekly trips to the road.

How do you get it so cheap? I just checked and it's a few hundred around here. Am I missing something in my  search?

The following is a summery of my take on this thread:

 

The things a guy keeps for way too long…

 

 

 

Better keep the right fender.  It's only got one chunk missing!

 

Kevin 40 feet and you’re still looking for room. Simply amazing how we can collect so much stuff over the course of a few years.

For several years my wife and daughter had annual garage sales.  I mentioned that the stuff they had to sell represented many trips to Walmart.  I have learned to keep the comment to myself "Oh! we must be shopping for next spring's garage sale." 

 

 

I have a philosophy about clutter. Whenever I buy something, I pass on or toss two... buy a coat - donate two. 

Totally agree.   

 

The bibs will likely need a trip to the car wash.

At  least Kevin isn't taking them to the public laundrymat!

I got one full racking shelf opened up.  My mom will be moving in to a new place soon and will be able to fit some of her totes too, so these shelves will be empty in the next week or so.

I figured someone would say that!  They are in the dumpster until Friday Bill… 

 

I still have those tires for you sitting here too.  

We are spending a week in Ky.  Early Thanksgiving get together with our kids.  I'll try to contact you later next week about the tires.
