Driveway Be Gone!

The actual removal took about a day and filled a 20 yard dumpster. Not too shabby! We thought we had it all figured out. But not so fast grasshopper... We've been moving so quickly that inevitably - we've begun to make a few mistakes. Mistake number one was not listening closely to what we could and could not put into the dumpster. All I heard was "No appliances" and all the missus heard was "No dirt" - when we'd finished filling the dumpster we were about to call to have it picked up and it hit me... I don't think we were supposed to put all that concrete and asphalt in there. Doh! And we weren't. There's no way they can haul that puppy up on the truck. It probably weighs well over 25 tons.

Tomorrow they drop off the "low boy" (intended for concrete, dirt, etc.) and we get to move half that asphalt from one dumpster to another. Yippie! The guy at PS Disposal was actually really great about the whole thing and hopefully - most of it will end up getting recycled.
