OK, so we traveled a littler farther than we would normally like to, but I wanted to see if it was worth it to use our truck and guys to pull the junk out. The trailer we use for jobs like htis is 250 cubic feet. That is 5ft. wide by 10 ft. deep by 5 ft. high. That's a lot of junk! Our worst to this day was a storage unit that was a 10 ft. by 20 ft. unit with junk piled 8 ft high....we were shocked!
So, this job was a foreclosure property. We were hired by the Realtor to come in and do the clean up. The distance to this job made giving an estimate a little difficult and not cost-effective. We eneded showing up on the job and opening the garage door to find the junk shown in the picture above. The Realtor had guessed we could get it all in one load. I personally believe we have excellent pricing. I can also understand the Realtor wanting to save money, but THIS was definietly not one load. If I rolled in with a huge dumptruck we could have pulled it all in one load...guess what that would do to our pricing. Belive me, we make every effort to make the junk fit...including tearing items apart or bending them into shapes they were never intended to be in. Items in this JUNK EVICTION (tm) included the sleepr sofa you see in the pic, yard debris and dog mess you don't see, two metal pool ladders, carpet rolls, a TV, mirror, two huge metal boards used for flooring, bicycles, a porch swing with metal frame and tons of just "stuff". The stuff is usually not a problem...it is when you we have to shovel items up that the job tends to slow down. Debris and gravel like this can be very heavy and can typically cost more when go to weigh in at the landfill. Debris, gravel and dirt also take considerably longer to load thus increasing our company's manhour costs.
Anyways, this job went very well. My point in telling the story is to prepare Realtors for the reality that some jobs are bigger than they appear. You know as well as i do that many people abnadon the junk they have been carting around for years, or they see no point in cleaning up when the cards are stacked against them. Maybe it's there way to get back at the bank. Unfortunately, I would really guess they just feel defeated, and their feelings regarding cleaning up for the bank are a little bruised. These situations call for our wonderful group of guys to come in and help everyone (including the bank) move on with life.
