end of week one
One week down and we seem to be ahead of the game. The main body of the house is pretty much gutted out and most of the sheds are emptied and down.
Contents of house and sheds so far have been carted away in three 40 yards waste bins (roll on/off jobbies). Bit of a result with the scrap metal though. We had in mind another bin the same size - which means another 500quid plus the labour to fill it. However, Computer Boy has been at the house this week doing a bit of labouring and he managed to flag down a passing scrap man. This bloke was delighted at the bounty on offer and returned with two others, many times in fact, to clear the garden of all the metal waste. This meant that in fact we had 8 men doing the clearance, halving the job time. The scrappers were so delighted that with their haul that not only did they remove it all but they bunged CB 40 quid for the privilege - this was quickly invested in greasy spoons all round. So you see, there may not be such a thing as a free lunch but breakfast is clearly another matter…
