Garage Sale...Kind of

This weekend Duncan had a city-wide garage sale as part of "Summer Fest." We decided that we might throw some junk outside for a little while and hope that wecould get rid of it. Originally we had thought we'd just put the 4 big items on the sign out front and stay inside....then we went up into the attic and found a few more pieces of furniture that we decided to see if we could get rid of as well. So we ended up staying outside until around 11. We actually did pretty good, we got rid of the washer, dryer, entertainment center, desk, office chair, two butterfly chairs, and a double stroller(from the neighbors). Our landlord actually bought the double stroller and was confused on why we had one. We had jokenly said we should put this marble countertop for the bathroom out too, our landlord bought it last year and put it on our front porch and said they would install it later, after a few weeks of sitting on our front porch we moved into the shed in the backyard.....needless to say the countertop is still sitting in there. I guess it's a good thing we didn't have is out there since our landlord came by :-) Below is a picture of the cheesey sign that we had in front out the house...we also made small signs to put at the end of the street with the address and an arrow that said furniture and washer and dryer. All we have left are two coffee tables now...which is better than we expected. Our garage seems so much bigger now that we don't have all that junk in there.
