Here's Lunch

This place just pays for itself, I swear.

Every few weeks we take a load of stuff to the dump. Sometimes it's broken-up concrete; sometimes it's plaster or drywall; sometimes it's metal pieces that we can recycle. This was a recycling trip.

As part of the old furnace removal-and-demolition project, we found ourselves with a big ol' pile of rusty furnace just waiting to be turned in for cash. After we heaved it into the back of the truck, we looked around for any loose pieces we might have accumulated over the weeks that also need to go out. This time, that included all the goodies you see here. We've got some galvanized water pipe... the manifold from the old furnace... some heavy cast-iron vent pipe... and this old drain pipe with the bell fitting on one end.

You can see how this pipe is all cracked and broken, held together by its own rust. We got about $24 for this load, which was enough to buy ourselves lunch. I even ordered the large fries with mine. Life is good.
