We’ve only lived in our new home for 2 months, but I’ve enjoyed a few exploratory walks with the dog in the surrounding woods.  From the beginning I’ve been aware of some old discarded objects that appeared to have been sitting half-buried for decades.  Easily identifiable were an old hot water heater and car rear axle, both completely covered in heavy brown rust.  Adjacent to the water heater were an old wheelbarrow and rectangular, cabinet-like box.  They too were heavily corroded and nearly completely buried in dirt and not as easy to identify.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The old metal objects were ragged and sharp, posing a hazard to people and wildlife alike, not to mention being an eyesore.  On Thursday, October 18, 2018, I decided to load the pickup truck with the first of what will certainly be several loads to haul to a recycling center.  The water heater and car axle were too heavy to move by myself, so I loaded the truck with the wheelbarrow pieces and the boxy cabinet thing, which fell apart as I carried the disintegrating pieces to the truck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
