Plans Afoot

Just in case you are wondering why we have been labouring long and hard tidying up the garage and getting rid of unwanted stuff, it’s not because we have decided to become minimalistic in our old age.  No, it’s because we have put our house on the market, and hope to move shortly.  More details to come later as our plans progress.

We are still getting rid of unwanted things.  Disposing of old electrical items can be a problem, as Op Shops won’t usually take them.  But we dropped an iron or two, a toaster and an electric heater to an recycling organisation called Earth Link.  They have an electrician on hand who can verify that the items are safe and sell them in their shop, or else they strip out the wiring etc for resale.

The local paint factory took all those old half used pots of paint safely off our hands for a minimal fee, so that was one problem solved.  All of the drop cloths used for painting were gladly received at our local garage, they rip them up and use the fabric to wipe their greasy hands on! 

Robin has declared that he has just about sorted out the garage now, and will start on the garden shed.  In the meantime, we have been selling things on Trade Me, and have sold off several lots of unwanted garden furniture, a ladder and even an old radio turn table.  Now, who wants to buy a trailer, or even a house!
