Clean Sweep Week 19

Clean Sweep had a good week at the Risk household. We took three more bags and two boxes of stuff to Goodwill and completed our de-cluttering of the house for our realtors. The biggest success of the week was our trip to the dump. We dumped 440 lbs of garbage to the dump. Most of it came from some old ceiling tiles that we had planned to use when we finished the basement. Since it doesn't appear that we will be staying, I decided it was a good time to get rid of them. If counted individually, we probably got rid of more than 150 items. I am guessing that total rises to more than 225 items if you also count the rails that the ceiling tiles hang on. Because they are made of aluminum, and the price of aluminum is good these days, I let our friend Patrick have them to recycle in return for the use of his truck to go to the dump. All in all, I was very pleased with our progress this week, as were our realtors.
