If you are a parent, you probably have read the children's book, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. We need to replace a damaged front door, frame and all.  For that purpose we rented a dumpster.  The door was fixed in a few days but we have the dumpster until Monday. If you give a homeowner a dumpster, it is amazing how much stuff you suddenly feel needs to be expelled from the house.  Stuff you thought you were "storing" for future use.
