The slab part of the cleanup is done. It is a good thing I got a 15 yard (a 10 wasn't available) since I filled more of it than I expected. A good portion of the leaves had blown off before I took this picture, so hopefully the rest of them will vacate the premises before tomorrow.
I even picked up the back yard which had styrofoam blown into it again. It really needs mowing, which I plan to do tomorrow, though this section isn't really mowable with either the push mower (which I still haven't fixed) or the tractor.
The dumpster is perhaps a touch over half full.
The only garbage remaining up on the slab is one of the old mattresses. I left it on its side to drain. It was so badly waterlogged I almost couldn't lift it this morning. And despite being in the sun with a breeze all day, it was still draining enough water to leave a puddle.
I will probably finish filling it tomorrow when I go to cleanup the old foundation. I also got the discharge chute for the mower. I started to install it, but it came with no instructions, and while I figured out how everything needed to go so that the spring was loaded correctly and so on, it was being a real pain so I figured I would look up some directions online. It turns out you are supposed to remove the bolted clip on the deck to install it, which would make it a whole lot easier.
Just squeeze the mattress out like a big sponge!
