When you do the work yourself… [Filler]

… you have to dispose of the packaging yourself, too. Last year we had our kitchen remodeled. New appliances. New cabinets. Boxes for tiles. But the contractors hauled away all the cardboard and cushioning material.

For this $540 half-bath update, we are responsible for getting rid of all this cardboard — and all the cushioning material inside — for a small mirror, the vanity top and a toilet. It'll take a few weeks of city recycling pickup (or I can haul it to a city recycling dumpster).

Packaging is a problem. You should see the stack of boxes in our building from Amazon!

@thewatersphotos At what kind of business do you work?

@rhoing The boxes from Amazon is at our home! My wife has an online Etsy business and orders lots from Amazon.

Actually I am just retired, as of Monday! I was a speech/language pathologist for 40+ years and worked in a private speech and hearing business for the last 38 years.
