25 YEAR COLLECTION

 

GOOD MORNING.

So today is PURGE DAY.

I'm getting rid of all my 'rusty bits'!

Not something I ever thought I would do. But I've lugged them all over the country for 25+ years.  And I'm done.

They are just too big and cumbersome to have in the MUCH SMALLER garden we will end up having in our new home.  (provided we get said new home eventually!)

It is going to be a job just fitting all our garden pots in the new place in fact.  I might even have to re-home some of the bigger pots too.

Today's mission is to load all the rusty bits on our trailer, and take it over to a local scrap metal merchant.

After that Stew and I will get the house ready for the Open Home this afternoon, drop dogs off at Steve 'n' Bex's, before getting ourselves ready, and off to our friend's wedding.

9 am:  And it's done.  

ABOVE:  The last thing to go on the trailer, our letterbox.  That letterbox has been with us for over 28 years.  My brother Vern made it for us.  I'm sad to see it go, but also happy that we never have to move it again.  It weighs A LOT.

We took 6 big items to the scrap metal yard, and combined it weighed 620 kilos. That is 1,366.8 pounds!

Moving on, we are now in 'get the house ready' mode.
