Whatcha doing with your isolation?

Arlington County Virginia has just asked homeowners to please stop it with the spring cleaning during the Coronavirus lock down.

They are being completely overwhelmed with garbage pickup, and have announce that they will temporarily suspend collecting mattresses, furniture, and appliances.

I have to laugh because it's true. On our street everyone is doing heavy spring cleaning and Marie Kondo-ing all their shit. I grabbed a nice office chair being tossed out across the street. I needed one too, because the cushion on mine was breaking down. I left the trash picked chair on the front porch in the sun for a few days before bringing it inside. It's perfect. Gives good support without being too comfortable.

I never would have thought about that but it makes sense.

A few years ago, my son dissembled his tree house, and neatly stacked all the lumber on a picnic table we never use. It's all rotten wood now and looks like hell, so I considered as recently as yesterday tossing it in the trash. I guess I missed my window of opportunity.

If it's clean rotten lumber, no paint or treatment, you can compost it or simply cover it with soil. It will improve the water holding capacity of your soil. If you have any yard...

Yeah I was thinking all the thrift stores are going to be overwhelmed here when they reopen. Our trash collection will only take what's in your wheelie bin. Anything else you have to take to the landfill yourself and pay a fee. They don't get off the truck when they pick up.
