73% Less Redneck

The former porch couch, which then became the driveway couch due to our grouchy mailman, is GONE! W00T! After multiple ads on freecyle and craig's list, and someone who flaked on picking it up twice, we got a taker. I had to protect it from the rain a couple of times. What a freakin' saga this turned into. I'm sure our neighbors are happy too that it's gone. Now, if we'd only get around to hanging the eave that fell off of the house and is still propped up on the porch, we'd stop bringing down the property values.

Ding Dong, the couch is gone!

Lois: Chris, what happened to the couch? Chris: Dad dragged it out on the lawn because he said "that's what rednecks do!"

Yep, we still have a couch in front of our house. It's no longer on the porch--thanks to a nasty note from the mailman. However, it's not quite on our lawn, but has been taking up residence in our driveway, in front of the garage. I think when we are parked there you can't even see it from the street.

When it rained recently, I'd covered it with a thick plastic. Well, it got wet anyway so we uncovered it in hopes of it drying out in the few no-rain days we had. It got pretty cold that night and a light covering of ice formed on it. It never completely dried and now it's covered again for the rain that returned.

The reason the couch has remained is that there really is no way to move it into the space we had hoped to. And now it's wet and probably moldy. Ew. So, we will be the ones that have to take care of getting it picked up by a charity or putting it up on Freecycle.

Um, anyone want a wet, moldy, and a little bit furry couch?
