We loaded a mattress and a box springs into the back of Pete’s truck and then packed between the upright bed, a dozen or more garbage bags. We took it to the AMR garbage transfer station. It weighed 426 pounds.

This was all the garbage we had collected in the rooms, minus a bit.

We loaded the Pathfinder chockablock full of recycling. Sorted with the lids removed. There was some recyclables that ended up in the dump, but it was the gross stuff.

Every time we make huge strides, it feels amazing, and then I come back to the house and the amount of work seems to be even larger than before.

But we will get there.
