The Big Haul

Rick's parents came up on Saturday and helped us do the big construction debris clean up in our yard. Sadly we've been accumulating all that construction debris for 6 months in our yard.
The deck was covered with junk, this is the deck after Rick hauled all the stuff to the back. Remember we had to rip up that section back in April to get to plumbing.

The deck looking the other way with the hideous gate that I have always hated.

A better shot without the gate

The back and shed with all the junk. The shed has been filled with a bunch of crap since Rick moved in, we were even able to get rid of that crap!

More junk

The other side of our house-where we took the very first stuff out-the old bathroom shower door and vanity etc

Looking at the yard the other way

Our first load to the dump was exactly a ton-2000 lbs.

Rick ripping up the deck

Our last load was nothing but wood-2080 lbs.

The side yard after

Looking back at the shed after

and no deck!! We also ripped all the gutters off the house. They didn't even have a downspout so there was zero point to them. I am so happy they're gone!

So this coming weekend we put in a new deck or patio. We haven't decided which yet. We think it'll be a deck, but a little different than the last one. We are planning on having some people over on the 13th of September so we just gave ourselves a big fat deadline. There is still a lot to do before then, but I think we can do it!
