A simple project that ended in utter happiness.

in #family6 years ago (edited)

These posts seem so simple.... sharing about life. But I know someone out there needs to read it and that is a motivation I get from sharing my family.

Today we spent about 4 hours cleaning off the back porch. We threw away a dresser and a wooden storage cabinet. All contents had to be emptied and sorted.

Today was trash day in the country. We have "trash centers" that trash is hauled off too. We had to make two trips in the van.

The end goal...Elliptical machine on back porch
by request of the wifey


Before I get to these pics

Project is semi-completed...we still need to do some final cleanup. But...we are 90% finished.
I had no intention of posting this project and missed some awesome porch toss breakage on furniture going to the trash. But after listening to my daughter for 30 minutes working out...breathing hard...working her muscles...
I just felt like I wanted to share this

It makes me so HAPPY to hear her doing a constructive action like working the body!

One Last Piece of Trash to Throw Away


It's simple stuff. I know. Didnt snap a pic of Lily using machine. or van loaded up with trash. But it happened.

A simple project that made me happy and daughter ended up working out for about an hour total.

That's a good day

with a view like THAT, even I want to get on the damn machine and workout :D

also,with children being imaginative, in her mind she is probably running a marathon to see what's on the other side of the hill ( adult brain just goes straight to the image of what is actually over the hill )

if that makes sense at all

just noticed this comment. the child marathon comment is awesome. She has run 5ks too! With her mommy. THanks for the wonderful comment.

Yay for a major goal achieved and for such a happy outcome! Well done!

Thanks aunt-deb. Hoping to add more workout type stuff in the future back here.

My cleaning out old trash day amounted to throwing it in the bottom of the old silo foundation and then filling it over with dumploads of rotten wood debris.

Sounds strange to some but I've heard of that being done before. At least you're not throwing it over the side of a hill like some ppl do way up in the mountains around here. Sometimes, I go picking through the trash up there. I needed a part for my GEO Metro about 7 years ago and found it out of an old GEO that was tossed over the hill up there.

Last place I lived, that's what the guy did... just found remote spots on the property to dump everything. At this place I was moving a dumptruck load of old rotten firewood and found a trash heap underneath it. Underneath that, probably six yards more of rotten slimey wood and decomposed pallets... under that: a nice gravel pad. Go figure.

There are some interesting things that happen on properties around the world. EPA and FDA would have a fit if they interacted with the Appalachia or the outskirts(where I am at). Thankfully we have States that try to keep the Feds out of it

This pic is day after

its about 11am and she is already at it again!
