Making progress!

So last week we made a mad dash to good old St. Johns. My brother called me and said they were having a city wide clean up day and that you could take 5 trucks/trailer full for only $15.00. I did a post awhile back on the house we bought in St. Johns that flooded. We had to gut to gut the whole entire house on the inside and all the stuff was basically put in our back yard. We have been chipping away at it here and there. It is WAY EXPENSIVE to dump. They charge you by the pound so one big dumpster would cost over $500.00. We had already dumped 3 f those big ones. So it was a no brainer that we had to go and take advantage. So we worked our tails off! We took 5 big trailer loads full and they only charged us $10.00. Sweet! We also took 2 trailer loads full to the green dump area.
Funny because when we came back to dump the second load at the green dump someone had already taken all the wood we dumped off. I should have just said free wood at my house. Oh well. I am so thankful my brothers decided to call me and let me know! It was a royal job for rob and I. We had the whole family help, but with cousins there the older ones didnt want to work so much. So I am posting some before and after. Please tell me that it looks like we made a dent in the big mess. Sad because we still have about 3 more loads or so to go. At least we are making progress right! Someday it will be our beautiful second home to go stay at during the summers!
