they cant say much about shingles here, they all go to the same place, as a mater of fact shingles come in to our dumps form other states and canida.
my can is a mini dumpster, if it werent for that I would not be able to give them to the garbage man either. them things are just to heavy to lift. a quarter bag will weigh 50+ pounds with nails.
my mini dumpster is a 1/3rd yard can, the trash truck pickes it up and dumps it in to a hopper that goes in front of the trash truck and from there it dumps in to the top of the truck insted of the back.
a lot faster for the trash guys, they just drive up beside the can and an arm reaches out and a couple bands rap around the can. kinda cool to watch.
the shingles was nothing to what I filled it with one time. I filled it with shattered class, "pea size" peices that I crushed from a half dozen or so sliding glass door frames. that truck grabed it like it was nothing, the plastic can did show signs of reaching just a little past its weight capasity.. LOL
I figure there was at least a half a ton of glass there, to bad I couldnt find a recycle place for it...
thats a big 10-4 on that dumpster thing. I would have had to pay double, it would have taken twice the allotted time for me to get all the shingles in to it, not to mention I would never have been able to get the shingles over the top. cant roll them in with a wheel barrol, tires and nails dont get along....
the summer apples are in up this way, I baked one in the microwave the other day.
been a while since I had grapes, don't you wait till the frost to pick those?
I never got around to getting them to harvest, between me and the birds we kept eathing them long before they were ready. ya I got a belly ache.
I planted three verieties of the seedless concords, red blue and white, the white was the only one to produce the other two died out, the white hasnt produced a pickable grape in years, lots of blooms just no sets...
It gets a lot of swamp abuse, they dammed the swamp behind my house and it flooded my back yard, and that was the end of my grape vine, lots of wild vines in my yard and they dont produce either, the stalk of the vine I cut down this spring was 6 inches in diamiter at the base. the vines were treemendous, it covered and entire roof of my car port. I didnt mind because the roof is plastic, but it had to go when I did the house roof replacement.
I think I might make you my go to guy if I ever make it down to Tenn and a little dryer ground.[
