Saturday morning I enlisted my pal, Jesse's, help (and his truck and trailer) to move 800lbs of scrap metal from the basement to Oneonta Auto Crushers. Between the copper pipes and the aluminum window frames, I ended up leaving with a check for over $600 for all of it. That afternoon I spent picking up shingles and debris from the re-roofing project.
Sunday saw us back at 509. Jesse stopped by with his family during the morning and we did a little hiking and played in the field with the kiddos and his dog. After they took off, I added another coat to the front door and picked up more debris. At some point, our contractor stopped by and dropped off a giant magnet on wheels, which I then used to pickup bucket fulls of roofing nails out of the grass. I'm pretty sure I'll be picking up pieces of shingle and roofing nails for years! I also spent some time pickup up crap from the driveway (more nails and old coat hangers and broken glass and god only knows). Another project that will last me for years. After that, I fired up the tractor and mowed along the driveway, around the barn, and in the backyard.

A giant magnet on wheels? Who knew home improvement was so awesome.
