I Didn't Clean the Garage This Weekend But...

I have tons of apples! We went apple-picking instead on Sat. It was a really beautiful fall day, a much-needed break from the record heat we have been having in NE Ohio. Even into the end of Sept, it has been super hot! Well, I had really planned on cleaning the garage, as I stated in an earlier entry, but then got distracted by going out to pick apples.

And it was really fun. We rode the wagon out to the orchard and we picked 1/2 bushel. After that, we got a few things in their bulk food store, like a cookie mix and cupcake decorations. My son and his friend also picked out pumpkins.

But I do intend on cleaning next Sat, got 5 days to psych myself up! First step, instead of renting a dumpster (which costs too much $), we found this alternative solution below:

I had never heard of it before. Basically, it costs $30 at Home Depot. You fill it (I think it's up to 3,000 lbs.) and then schedule an appt. for them to come out and pick it up for $89. So compared to the price of a dumpster, we thought it was a good deal.
