Hi fellow Hiveians,
Today I wanted to share how important it is to remove and keep junk at bay!
Trash Cleaning Weekend
With the incoming nice weather we have for springtime, one of the most prevalent sayings we have around here is "spring cleaning!" and that's absolutely what we did this past weekend!
The little man and I went to the lakehouse and we were out there looking for some fun and to get around the outdoors while we were aiming to do some cleaning. We got into more than we bargained for that's for sure!
With the lakehouse, one of the things is that there are several parts that are kind of falling apart. One of the was absolutely the deck! Granted it was probably 30 years old or so, so it certainly had spent its time properly. It was time to replace it so my wife's family contracted some guys to come replace it. What we didn't realize was we were going to get access to some of the trash that was underneath the deck! Here's a good example of the swill that accumulated underneath there over the years. When things get past you, it's hard sometimes to get in there and pick up the pieces. That's certainly what was going on here, time flew by and things just accumulated.
We got a bunch of the stuff cleaned up and loaded into the car so we could toss it in the dumpster at home. We filled the trunk with half broken junk lol it felt great to finally get under there and purge some of the shit! We know he won't know what the heck was there among the small stuff. Hopefully we can convince him to get a dumpster to get rid of some of the stuff but if we could at least get a bunch of the broken floats and stuff we'll be happy with that progress.
What astounded me was someone let this giant barrel just float around the lake for a while! Lol I'm hoping that it was just attached to somebody's dock as a floatation device to help keep it going but in any case, it was just roaming around! I thankfully got ahold of it after someone in a boat splashed it a bit closer to shore so I could grab it!
The barrel was heavy as hell but we managed to get it onto shore and put it into a decent spot. If someone was driving around the lake in their boat they will certainly see it from a distance and hopefully come pick it up. It was pretty heavy so I don't think someone is going to be a jerk and push it onto her family's land but you never know with some people.. One thing I wanted to enforce with our son is that we can't expect somebody else to clean or pick things up. Sometimes, more often lately, you have to be the person to do the cleaning because it's good to take care of something ourselves instead of waiting for someone else. If we took ownership of things and cleaned ourselves, I think we would be in a much better place overall!
