This weekend is the start of the annual "Cleanup days" which happens twice a year, Spring & Fall in my area.

From certain days that the city picks out (example Sept. 17th-24th), residents of the city are encouraged to put unwanted items on the curb. Before the city comes along, people come with their pickups, etc. to look for "tarnished treasures". This continues on till Sunset for most. The diehard people still come around with flashlights, still  looking for stuff. Most people just come back in the morning & start up again. The city pickup starts from the East side of the city working West. Majority of the "good stuff" is already taken, before the city gets it. I've found this a great resource of free haunt supplies for my haunted maze. Over the years, I've collected scraps of wood, plywood, over 25 wooden doors, & even outside lighting.

 Today I went out for an hour & came back with a full pickup box of wood! Lots of scrap wood of different sizes & shapes, 2x4's, & even 5 more wooden doors, that I couldn't pass up.

I was looking at another pile of stuff next door to this guy, & he brought out a single wooden door. Was still going thru stuff when I saw that he came back with another wooden door. I went over to check it out, even though I didn't need any more doors. I went to check them out & they were too good to pass up. So I grabbed both of them to load in my truck. He was coming back with more stuff when he spotted me. I said thanks for the doors! He laughed & said thank you. He told me that he had seen the first door in my truck & thought he would hurry to get rid of two wooden doors that he had. Thought that I might possibly take them too. I thanked him again & said they were for my haunted maze. He just smiled & waved.
