De "Freegan" Masters get a storage unit

G-2 Days
2 days until the garage rolls away under the cover of darkness.  That means we needed to get our buns in gear and clear out any materials stored in it.  Time for a storage unit!  After 2 loads of plumbing supplies, we are officially moved in... to the storage unit.  With each new item loaded in, all I could think of was how much the unit would sell for on Storage Wars.  Addicting, right?

Almost as impressive as the Kohler Design Center.

How far would you go for a free toilet?
Our answer is, "Ramsey."  Today's adventure was an hour round trip to pick up a clean, rarely used, year old toilet for free.  It is the same model we had specified for the kid's bath.  We tried to force some cash on the nice man, but he wouldn't have it.  (You can see it in the picture above, farthest to the right.)

Ding! Ding! Ding!  SALVAGE BONUS!!!
Out of curiosity, we called up Bauer Brothers Salvage to see if they would have any interest in the remaining materials in the house before it gets demolished.  We met Kevin at the house this morning and ran through together.  He made a list of appliances (mostly harvest gold), cabinets (circa 1970), doors, furnace, etc.  All items that were destined for the landfill are now going to be picked up tomorrow by Bauer Brothers - and we get $300.  Sounds like a pretty good deal to me.
