"Use it up, wear it out.
Make it do or do without" ?
I think my husband has taken it a bit too far.
This is our garbage can.
Funny story behind this duct tape beauty.
The garbage truck claws broke a hole clean through. We were doing some heavy yard work in the vegetable garden getting it ready to plant. We had lots of corn stalks and stuff to pull out and throw out.
The other garbage can was full and we really needed or 2nd one to finish cleaning up. My "macgyver" hubby decided duct tape would take care of the can.
Well, after the neighbors saw our lovely red neck can, there were comments galore. It was no longer just a garbage can with duct tape, it was a pride thing for Paul. He thinks that can is the coolest thing he has ever had. He won't let me call the city to replace it.
The neighbors keep telling us they are going to do it.
In fact, one of our neighbors saw the city truck with the new cans driving down the street just outside our circle and chased them down...yes, I said chased, and told them they missed our circle, that we had a can they NEEDED to take.
He failed. They wouldn't take it.
Not only are our neighbors humored, but apparently word has traveled to the neighborhood just south of us. Some friends over there have heard about our can too. They have even heard that the duct tape is partially coming off and dragging behind it as we roll it up and down our driveway on garbage days.
Oh boy. Pride sure is an interesting thing.
My husband wonders..."who WOULDN"T want this in their yard?"
ME!
And duct tape may be able to fix everything....but come ON! I hope the neighbors stop giving Paul the attention he loves with this can so he can bear to let it go.
