I dont get what you do with the "garbage"? Do you throw it in the garbage? I'm confused.

Dave said...

Ahh yes, you've put a fire under my butt to get a FAQ post up. I''ve been maintaining a list but need to post it. When I say garbage, it means it goes in the garbage box in the basement, not out to the curb. It's still down in the basement, just organized. If you click on what's in the basement, you'll see what's all there for each month.

Just want to say - you're awesome. And, jeez, I didn't know anyone else in Southern California actually HAD a basement!

Hey Anonymous,
Thanks. It's funny how many people are more shocked by the basement thing than the garbage thing.

Thanks for the note
