My kitchen demolition was bigger, of course, but my contractor dealt with all the debris from that, to my great relief. For the porch, I\u2019d just made a pile of junk &#8211; the four old posts, all the vinyl from the ceiling and surround, and all the railings, plus the pieces of ceiling I took out. It was a pretty impressive pile, and it couldn\u2019t stay on my porch forever. My city gives you two free dump trips as a resident, so I applied for the pass and planned to head out early on Saturday to get rid of the junk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I borrowed my mom\u2019s car (again &#8211; thanks mom!), and loaded it up. Loading it took almost an hour &#8211; some of the pieces were pretty heavy, and it took some careful stacking to get it all in. Drove (carefully) out to the landfill, which is about 20 minutes from my house, got to go through the \u201ccars and SUVs\u201d line, bypassing the much longer \u201ctrucks and trailers\u201d line, then with a little assistance from the guys directing traffic, backed the car up to a metal ledge leading to very large dumpster. It only took about 10 minutes to unload the car, with a few moments of glee as I shoved a 50-pound chunk of railing over the edge to land with a resounding thump. Once the car was empty, I returned it to my parents\u2019 house and headed home to enjoy my newly clear porch &#8211; or rather, to install the rest of my porch ceiling, now without the massive tripping hazard I\u2019d previously been working around.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the first project I\u2019ve had that\u2019s made enough trash to need a trip to the dump.
