Duck Pond Redneckery


My parents house had orange shag carpet. Two different shades of orange. It was gross.

Then in like 1994 my sister hooked up with some "rich" boyfriend whose parents had a "normal" house with "normal" carpet and she was too embarrassed to have him over so my parents ripped it up and replaced it with boring gray carpet. :thumbsup:

All that for a boyfriend? My dad would say, "tough shit, deal with it" lol
 
I'm sorry, you were deprived!! Maybe it was just in the town I grew up in not far from here. We had that ****ty green shag carpet before my dad built an addition on our house, neighbors had it too, either on the floors or the walls somewhere in their house. Maybe there was a special on it back then, or some carpet salesman roamed the neighborhood selling it as the next new trend. 🤔
Nah, I grew up with weird colored shag carpet at my neighbors of course. There was avocado fridges and stoves. Pink colored bath tubs even.
( I left the u out of color because I am a good person)
 
I bashed my loader's hydraulic pump on the dumpster cuz there ain't no friggin' brakes. :mad:

It actually pulled the threads right out of the casting.

Yeah that pathetic joke of a dumpster is the biggest they'd let me load heavy stuff into. :mad:

$325 :mad:

Anyway I cleaned up the threads with a tap and put a new fitting in. Finished scooping up the burn pile ashes.

Is that even a 20 yard dumpster? Doesn’t look like it from the pic. When we demo concrete the biggest we can get is a twenty yard. Thirty yard would be too heavy for the truck.

That's a ten yard.

It's full width but in length it's only about as long as a typical 4 door car.

I like the low sides though. Easier to load.
 
ATV is about 5 or 6 feet closer to the camera but it's still good for scale. I ain't pulling a tape measure.

Especially since I'm 3 miles away parked in the ditch with the ATV and lawn chairs waiting for it to get dark.

I can tell you don't reddit... it's banana for scale, dammit!

Hey so they ever give you crap about it being loaded over the top?

I could hop up there with a rake and level it out. But I don't want to.
 
Yeah man get in there and rake out the concrete.
I've already decided that if they don't take it, it's just going to stay right there in the yard until they do. I ain't unloading it and I ain't giving them any more money either.
