You always have this when you work in the dirt. There is a substantial quantity of concrete around the property that serves no purpose. I am going to have to get rid of it. I already had to pay to get a pile of detritus hauled off. I get hesitant to get out the stuff because of the trouble and expense. But I have made up my mind. I am going to get it all out of the yard. When it is all up I will call the man back and he will make it go away. I will write him a check and that will be that.
I am thinking that I will construct another screen to screen the smaller chunks to get some large gravel. I can use that for fill under walk ways and other projects.
