Bin There Dump That: One Man's Trash Blog

There’s more to holding a successful garage or estate sale than waking up early and compiling all of your junk, I mean treasures.

To attract the most buyers, it needs to be organized. A well-planned garage sale not only helps you get rid of your clutter, but it also makes you money.

But before we share how to get all of your ducks in a row for a garage sale, let’s make sure we are on the same page about what it is.

Finding the motivation to clear clutter from your house can be difficult. But, what if you had a financial motivation?

Take a second to look at all of your clutter, and think about how much you spent on each item: The realization can be a bit overwhelming and alarming.

Instead of letting the unwanted items continue to pile up, turn them into cash. Here are four reasons decluttering your home will save — and even make — you money.

The warmer weather can leave you itching to get outside to work on your landscape.

But there’s a lot you can — and should — do inside your home, too. There’s a reason it’s called spring cleaning: it’s the perfect time to complete all of your projects and make your home look its best.

Here are four indoor home renovation projects you should tackle this spring.

Working on a residential site has its own set of demands and requirements.

As the general contractor, you need to keep the site clean, have the right skills for the job, understand the space limitation and be reachable for clients.

Not only do homeowners expect all of that, but you should also look for the same things when choosing a dumpster rental company for the project.

Here are four reasons general contractors should consider using roll-off dumpster for residential projects.

“Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.”

It’s okay to not like Murphy’s Law. Honestly, I don’t know anyone who does. That’s because it makes us think about the worst case scenario. And no one ever really wants to think about worst case scenarios — especially when home renovations are involved. It just sounds costly and dangerous.

For some peace of mind, Bin There Dump That likes to inform our customers that we’re a licensed, bonded and insured dumpster rental company. And anytime you invite a skilled laborer onto your property — roofers, plumbers, electricians, etc. — it’s wise to hire only those that are licensed, bonded and insured, as well.

Generally speaking, the relationship we have with our bathrooms can be a bit rushed and, at times, inconvenient. When we’re home, it’s the kitchen, bedroom and family room that tend to get most of our attention. And that’s totally normal, but maybe not for much longer.

As many post-recession homeowners continue to invest in their homes rather than pack them up and look elsewhere, the bathroom is one room in the house getting some spa-like attention after all and topping remodel lists for 2015.

2015 is a big year for you and your home. It’s the year you turn that nursery back into a guest room or finally finish the basement – think of all that rec room potential. No matter the size of the project, it always helps to get a little free help and inspiration to get the ball rolling.

Enter the Internet.

Interested in knocking down the dining room wall to open up the kitchen? There’s a website for that. Ready to turn that third floor attic into a home office? There’s a blog for that. From before-and-after photos to how-to videos, home renovation websites are abundant, but where do you start?

A home renovation can be one of the most rewarding and frustrating experiences any family can go through. Combining work, school, pets and kids with dirt, noise, workers and rooms that can’t be used — and you’ve got a recipe for family discord, stress and even temporary mental breakdowns.

Our best advice: Visit an all-inclusive resort for the duration of the project. All right, that might get a bit expensive. If you don’t have a wealthy relative willing to share a wing of his or her mansion, then you’re going to need to figure out how to live in a construction zone. It won’t be easy, but with the right attitude and well-thought-out strategies, you can make the experience more pleasant.

It’s time to build that dream home. A beautiful half-acre paradise is located on the perfect spot on the cul-de-sac, on the perfect street, in the perfect community. You’re just not satisfied with the split-level colonial that currently occupies that space. It’s time to knock down that eyesore and build your own mini Versailles.

Home construction is an involved and varied process, but there is one constant companion you can have through the entire process: a Bin There Done That dumpster.

Your new home will require contact with a number of professionals, who will do everything from demolishing the old structure to putting the final touches on your home decor.

Home improvement projects add value to a home and improve the lifestyle of those living in it. Whether it leads to lounging in a luxurious bathroom suite or enjoying Mother Nature on a backyard patio the pleasures of home renovation projects are varied and many. The decision for homeowners is how to get those projects done.

There are a number of variables to consider when deciding whether to do the project yourself or hire a professional: Skill level, finances and free time are just a few.

But unless you do renovation for a living, there are some projects that its better to leave to the professionals.
