I did a little Spring cleaning in the yard this weekend and was amazed at some of the forgotton storage auction treasures / junk that I unearthed during the cleanup. Here are some of the items that went in the trash pile or were given away for free on Craigslist:
1. Iron back of a piano (400 lbs) that has been laying in my yard killing the grass for 6 months - Free on Craigslist
2. 4'x4' piece of frosted glass (100 lbs) - Free on Craigslist
3. Lake union fiberglass boat cover with wood inlay - Free on Craigslist
4. Upright piano - garbage pile
5. Portable basketball hoop missing parts - Free on Craigslist
6. New Home sewing cabinet - Free on Craigslist
The best part about cleaning up is gaining more space for new inventory :D What type of junk / items have been laying around your yard for the last year?

I have a few large items that i need to get rid of but haven't. About 6 months ago I bought a new engine for a Cadillac I was fixing up. I kept all of the valuable parts off of the old engine, I was determined you recoup some money. So needless to say, I still have a bunch of parts laying around my garage.
I also have this huge library globe (3 feet wide) from the 1950's that I have been saving to hopefully one day restore.
We don't have a problem with outside clutter at my house, it's inside. My wife is a clothing/shoes hoarder. She needs a separate room for her clothes. Thank God I'm not buying as many units as I used to, I wouldn't be able to walk though our bedroom.

If anyone here doesn't have items cluttering up at least one room in their home, they're either not buying much or they are a very organized and efficient buyer indeed.
My problem is just getting rid of stuff so REGULAR spring cleaning can take place !

Lol - I started this a few weeks ago when a Sunday found a light breeze and low 70s. Found a few boxes in the back fo the shed that I hadn't sorted yet. Found a old metal desk that I sold the next day for $10. A few other odds and ends. Working on a nice big trash pile now - will be time to hit the dump next week.
Rain all this weekend so may just sit in the shed and sort / scrap some more. I prob have $100 or more in electronic scrap I need to send out. Getting a nice size stack of clean copper, alum heatsinks, etc. All of this is part of my rainy day fund when low on money or want to take a vacation.
Already done one trip to Goodwill and have another truck/trailer full I'm sure of stuff. Once done with that shed, I have 3 others and the house to do.
