Ask Tara about how heavy that freakin' chain was.
So, to add to our totals over there on the left: for iron, in the two loads we took another 1920 pounds of iron, making it now 22,460 pounds, or 11.23 tons. For the precious metals, which I am not counting towards the total of iron, but which certainly count for the total amount of junk leaving the property, we took away 610 pounds or so (guessing for the catalytic converter, as it was marked down as one unit and not by weight), and another 265 pounds yesterday, though yesterday's precious metal run netted almost as much cash as the earlier one, since there was so much brass in it (87 pounds). So that's another 870 pounds of stuff gone.
There's still more.

"There's still more"
Of COURSE there is!
Hopefully one day though, there won't be.
I have to believe the stuff is actually a finite amount. I don't think all that junk has been off making like bunnies; but who knows.
Maybe there's a copper mine under the house :)
Yes, there's still more. But finally we can see the end of it. I think the thing that makes the biggest difference now is that once we get rid of the stuff, we are getting rid of the crappy cabinetry that holds the stuff (and to be honest, most of that also came from the dump and/or is severely rusted or rotten).
Gaining back the actual space, and the freedom to think, and better yet- be able to work on the cool things that I'd like to work on (restoring furniture, the cool cars, etc..), is a great feeling.
Well I'm not sure so much about being able to see an end to it yet, as there really is so much still, but I am getting to a point where I can imagine that it does have an end and is not in fact infinite.
Perhaps you are an optimist and I am a pessimist? :)
Tara! It's good to hear your voice on here.
I'd love to see a post from you sometime.
Thanks. . I just forgot my log in info for a little while. I'm slogging through a LOT of old photos that show just how much worse it all was in years past. Just gonna take some time to make them into some kind of coherent post...
