Went to the scrap place this morning

and did half way decent.  I guessed about $40 to $50

and it ended up being $102 for what little scrap we took in!

After the scrap place we went down to the flea market.

That was sucky and we didn't get anything.

Half the vendors weren't there today.

Got paged out as we were walking to the truck

and spent the next 4 hours at hubby's work

replacing 2 hot water heaters.

These two hot water heaters sit in an outside

shed side by side and it wasn't the easiest

to get to both of them in a shed the size

of a small closet.

I helped when and where I could.

In my spare time there I was trying to find

5 gallon empty paint buckets and was cleaning them out.

I managed to find 3-4 with lids so far.

Hubby said next month there's something

like 40-50 move outs so I can get a lot more then

when they go to punch out those apartments and paint them.

My gutter garden could use up to 29-30

of these 5 gallon buckets and because I'm cheap I don't

feel like spending $2.50 to $5.00 per 5 gallon bucket

from Menards which could really add up

when you times that by 30!!

Hubby asked me what I wanted for Mother's Day.

I said dirt, lol.  I need something to put in 

all those buckets, lol.  I got 8 tomato plants,

4 bell pepper plants, 6 potato plants, a celery plant

and 10 strawberry plants and 4 Dianthus flowers

 that need a planting, plus I have zuchinni and

cucumber seeds to plant

in the near future. Dirt would be good, lol.

Instead of buying good quality potting soil

that can be expensive I'm thinking about making

my own mix which will include

composted manure, top soil, peat moss, perlite and epsom salt.

7:20pm

The pager has been quiet so we went out

and visited hubby's friend in Groveport.

On the way out there we passed by McCutcheon Rd

at Sunbury Rd. and it was shut down.  You could see a bad

accident just up the road with many flashing lights.

Found out what happened just now on Facebook.

Read about it HERE on channel 10TV.

On our way home we went through Gahanna and

stopped by the skate park they had there.

I sat in the car because I was cold.

Now that I'm home I'm ready to fire up the

heating pad and crawl under the blankets

for the rest of the evening.
