I skipped morning mass at 0800 this morning. I busied myself with ironing and was dragging/wondering until I remembered what I needed to do – quality-control inspection of the four/large/over-stuffed garbage trash bags!
At 0800, I finished ironing and immediately inspected the trash of the tile workers. I found six regular water/one soda bottles of plastic and two aluminum cans: these are prized at a redemption value of whatever!
I found a BJ’s pizza box and retrieved more white-colored cartons/cardboards of DaTile brand for recycling in our city bin! Then I finished using the electric blower out back.
When Dad arrived at around 0920 from shopping at CVS with Mutha, he helped me retrieve more recyclables of construction paper and pieces of loose plastics and PVC gray/thick liners.
We then sorted and organized the three trash bags near our chimney/air conditioner unit according to materials dumped – two wasted bags of “mud” (fucking assholes), wasted white spackle/grout (double assholes), old cement boards/particle boards/wooden wall trims with nails, broken white tiles for “errors”, bits of dust/grits, one insulation aluminum foam, etc.
The last/fourth bag upstairs was reduced to EMPTY after we retrieved/recycled a LARGE construction-like paper, which used to line the initial passageway of tiles.
I managed to manually sweep up dust/grits from the work site and our carpet and discarded those in our regular garbage bin. They have an industrial vaccum, which really does the job of sucking up particulates nicely for “health and safety”.
I further bagged old faucets/plumbings for dumping by the plumber later on this week. I also “saved” smaller/unused tiles in case of emergency when/if we need repair of broken/loose tiles in our new shower/bathroom!
Thanks Dad, who helped me and in returned thanked me, of course. We’re like “Chinese” who don’t mind digging around the construction trash for recyclables. That’s how responsible we are to our environment.
After we finished at 1100, I kept repeating to him – shower! He complied hours later and I caught him naked in his bathroom after coming home from the evening choir mass today. Bahaha!
