A Fine Mess

Monday, October 24th, 2011

Down the road from me a ways is a lot that had a couple old trailers on it, and some other ramshackle buildings.

The owner died a couple years ago and it looks like his relatives finally took an interest in cleaning up the place.

The first thing they did was spray paint FREE on the trailers.

The trailers disappeared pretty fast. They probably went for scrap.

BUT, whomever hauled them off must’ve dumped the entire contents out in the yard.

It’s a real mess.

I don’t believe the family can handle the new mess all by themselves. They’re going to need a Junk Removal Company to come out, probably with a front end loader and a roll off dumpster in order to take care of that mess.

Whether you’ve got a little mess to clean up (abandoned barns come to mind) there’s always a company around that can help, both here in the US as well as Junk Removal Canada.

Once they get that lot cleaned up I suspect they’ll be able to sell it for a pretty penny. It’s right on the corner of the highway!

When it’s time to upgrade the little girl nursery into a little girl’s bedroom, you tend to go all out.

One way you can add a big impact in a small space is by the use of mirrors.

Wall mirrors in just the right spot reflect the light and make a room seem larger, brighter and more inviting.

And what Mother wouldn’t love this sweet mirror for their little girl’s room?

Wondering ‘what’ you’re gonna get all those kiddos on your Christmas list this year? (And those never-gonna-grow-up adults!)

You can go searching high and low for the latest gadgets or you can visit Discount Deal Codes and Geeky Gadgets. The reasoning behind that is that you can’t be privy to all the fads yourself! You’ve got to rely on other people to scout (at least some things out) for you.

For the items that you know you can score in town, be sure to look online for those Walmart Coupons and those Target coupons too!

I’ve recently started shopping Target again, and I don’t know why I stopped. Except now that means one more stop I have to make on Saturdays!

But, I can’t do without my bargains! This past week I bought desk fans, clearanced out of course since fan season is really gone, for under $2 bucks a pop!

Fan season may be gone, but I get hot in the office…

We won’t go there.

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg! You can find printable coupons for most stores online! Print them out ahead of time (when you make your shopping list) and carry them with you, and you’ll be ahead of the game!
