Five Hours Later

Last Thursday, after my Craigslist contact collected his appliances, we talked about him returning to relieve me of the kitchen cabinets, pedestal sinks and anything else he could find throughout the house. So today, at 10:30, he returned with cash in hand to gather his things. Five hours later, he was done. He made note that he somewhat got himself in too deep, but appreciated our hospitality.

For us, it was a win-win situation. Considering we were planning on ditching all the items in a dumpster behind our house, the little money we collected was pure bonus. And, now that our contractor doesn't have to remove the items, he can begin to focus on another project within the house (though, we're somewhat restricted as we're waiting, of course, on the city of Chicago to approve our permit).
