A day for a skip

Note to self, if ever (and this is highly unlikely) I am buying another place to live always check the garage has been emptied before you sign the dal.

The excitement back in early September was dulled ever so slightly when we opened the garage door and found a lot of items that we did not ask for.

So we hemmed and hawed over taking it ourselves to the dump in the back of the rental car or hiring a van locally and doing it in one run. Or finding a man who'd take a 50euro note to deal with it all.

There was sun-chairs, washing machine, three front doors no less, acres of wood and a raft of other smaller items. After much deliberation and meetings the chair and company secretary decided a skip was in order.

The wonderful people at South West Kerry skips promised and delivered a skip on time and in

exchange of 350Euros.

And the team got going and clearing out the garage making sure we maximised the space and kept under the very clear notice "do not fill above the top"

And so two hours later we had an empty garage, well nearly empty and a full skip.

It didn't stay that full for long. The plumber the following day asked if he could take several items out of it for the local football club. Same the world over eh. There is always someone who will take what you don't want.
