    My girlfriend has a blog/vlog about interior decorating so my house is pretty nice inside.

    But that's because of her, I would have it at around a 6 or hard 7 at best if left to my own devices. Except bathrooms, I have a thing about dirty bathrooms. I used to work at a cleaning company that handled a huge mall and movie theater. The horrors I have seen will never leave me. It's like waking up in a cold sweat in the dead of night because the ceiling fan sounds like the choppers back in 'Nam. Only it's the sound of toilets flushing and plungers plunging that brings me back to the evening of Black Friday all those years ago...

    My shop on the other hand is a 5-6 during the awful summers and a 7-8 during the "winter". In the summer a metal building on a slab in Texas has a lot in common with a pizza oven.

    Actually yes several and one that's open late on weekends. I try to pickup a full load anytime I am out looking for scrap. My last 980LB load I got in a matter of 45 minutes no joke - mostly cause it took so long to load, 1 stove and a BUNCH of light fixtures, it filled my little Dakota up and I went straight to the scrapyard with it - stripped out the copper from the stove at the yard.

    I was going to update - this weekend is an exception. I broke my rule I have had scrap in the back yard for almost 3 days now cause I am just beat LOL and my house inside is now a 6. LOL

    A little snow will motivate a person to clean out the garage and not worry about what is buried underneath in the yard.
    Give back more to this world than we take.

    As hard as I try, my house is never free of scrap, inside or out. Somehow it sneaks in.

    The family dumping grounds ... err '2 bay garage' is still filled with junk.
    I could probably fill a 30 yard dumpster with all the useless crap .

    Personally, my scrap pile is very small ( usually is during winter months ). I'm down to less than 5 lbs of 'high yield boards' and a few wires.
