Rose across the street fractured her hip and is in assisted living and the house is being cleared out. It is so strange that both of us are clearing out at the same time. Jim is not able to help at all, so it is up to his wife, who has been so very friendly to me; I wish that I could remember her name. A couple of men in a pick-up truck happened to be passing by and offered to take away what they didn't want. They hauled two truck loads for a nominal fee. They had a special pick-up last week and today.
Claude came in the afternoon to remove the legs off the workbench. He had taken the top off and boards from below, but the frame was a problem because the legs were welded and the bench would not fit in his SUV. He thought he'd have to saw off the legs, but he researched how to remove the legs another way. It was a nice day, so I pulled up one of the patio chairs and read while he worked on his project. He had to drill and somehow remove the rivets that held the legs in place. That must have taken him about two hours. He then piled a lot of my trash including the Weber grill into his SUV to dispose of it with his trash and take some to a metal recycling place. Jay is planning to come on Saturday to take my stuff to the dump, but will have considerably less to take. This is all that needs to be taken to the dump.
