Given the very real possibility that I may take a job in my company's HQ in Redmond, WA, I recently decided to clean up my house -- inside and out -- in preparation to put it on the market. So, I hired a handyman to repair a variety of things inside the house, and I rented a large debris box to dump all the stuff that's been lying around the outside of the house ever since we moved in about 2 years ago. I was astonished that within just a few days, the debris box was filled to the brim! The picture below shows the box about half filled, and it's a pretty big box!

   Fortunately, I was able to give away or sell a lot of stuff via Craig's List. Otherwise, I would've needed another debris box!

   Now, the house looks great -- inside and out, and my wife is so much happier, which of course makes me very happy.

   Wow! I haven't posted for almost a month! Busy, busy, busy!

   Still, I thought you might enjoy this .. found at RocketBoom .. in Windows Media Video (WMV) format:
