What do a funeral home, a furniture store and a dumpster have in common?
Scrounged resources for revving up my Ragtag Yard!
Yup, that's cardboard alright.
The one on the bottom is a protective insert used in shipping coffins to funeral homes.
The one in the middle served a similar function for a large piece of furniture.
The last one was a bonus. I spotted it when I was disposing of 'dog walk debris' in a dumpster. I couldn't resist that pristine flattened box perched on top!
What in the world has me chasing cardboard in such unlikely places?
Mostly, it's because large pieces of cardboard are hard to come by, so I had to expand my range a bit. Granted, the furniture store was not much of a long-shot. The issue there is getting to it before they shred it. I got lucky with this one, plus now they know I'm looking. Helps to have an inside track.
The one from the dumpster came from a local gas station which uses lots of cups, so it's tall. That was, for want of a better term, a windfall.
But, a funeral home? Really?
Well, why not...? Ragtag requires thinking 'outside the box'!
I'll admit this was a stretch, but as I talked to the manager, she warmed to the idea of what I was going to use them for. As a matter of fact, she called me back within two days to let me know she'd found some.
So, what's the big deal about cardboard?
