Concrete Part II
In a conversation with my mom the other night I told her the need for concrete disposal, and she suggested posting it on Craig’s List under the free section. I pretty much thought she was nuts, but decided to placate her for fun…and pretty much said as much in my add:
“No idea why anyone would want this- but my Mom suggested it so here goes nothing... we have plenty of pieces of broken up concrete from an old sidewalk. Land fill? Broken concrete sculpture? It's all yours if you can haul it away. (We're really just trying to avoid the $300 to rent a dumpster)”
Come to find out- she wasn’t crazy (or at least in this one instance anyway) :). So far I’ve gotten a request for some for an art project (I was kidding about that, but ok), to buttress a river bank, and to use as driveway base. We’ll see if anyone actually shows up and takes some away, but at the very least I got two offers to haul it away for considerably less than $300. Who knew?! Oh yeah, and the bricks that were mortared into the concrete- the guy who bought the shed is coming back to pick them up tonight. I judiciously warned him that they aren't real pavers, they have some type of mortar substance on the back that I found impossible to get off, and in some cases they're still connected to the 5" of concrete, but he still wanted them. I guess it's true what they say about one person's trash.
