Dump Day: Don's Window Box

Dump-Day with Mr. Dump

Hello, Friends.  Welcome to another installment of Dump-Day with Mr. Dump!  For our newest D and D followers, Dump-Day gives me, Mr. Dump, an opportunity to share a different perspective on this crazy hobby that my wife and I enjoy.

 

So let me tell you about a place that Sarah and I like to visit:

 

It's a place where hubcaps go to die...

 

A place where junk piles are never-ending...

 

A place with buildings upon buildings, full of J-U-N-K!!!!

 

Where radioactive trucks are something to laugh about...

 

We call this place Don's (revealing the real identity of this place would create competition and therefore is not allowed).  Don's consists of about ten to twenty acres that are dedicated to one man's junking habits!  There IS a method to his placement of product, but Sarah and I have yet to figure it out.  All we know is that you have to wear long pants, boots, (next time we will wear gloves) and sometimes a hard hat.  Be sure, too, that your tetanus shots are up-to-date.

 

Cline's Antiques... I mean.... Don's is so vast, that you can't carry around all the goodies you find.  You have to put your merchandise in a pile (notice the gray coat and sunglasses claiming our turf!).  

The more merchandise you have, the cheaper Don's prices tend to go.  Fair warning:  Don doesn't haggle.  He gives you the rock-bottom price!!!!  If you don't like it, he'll tell you to move on!  Below is the start of our pile from our most recent trip...

  

We consider this a small load!!!!

 

We found this window box at Don's!  It was already blue...which means NO PAINTING!!!!  The top window was broken, so we decided to use some old materials to fill the void.

Chicken wire and Windex (what a great country song title) is all this needed!

 

Where else do you enjoy junkin'?  We've shared our secret place, and we'd love it if you shared yours!

Now if we could only think of something cool to do with old hubcaps...

Happy Junkin'!!!!
