Bursting your Bubble(wrap)
By Brian | December 15, 2008 | Share on Facebook
As my three loyal readers are aware, we recently completed a major home renovation (the last set of pictures coming really soon now, I promise). Anyway, this weekend’s project, hanging up all of the artwork, framed photos, etc. around the new house, was the last of the “get rid of this pile of stuff stuck in the corner” jobs that we’ve been at for so long. With it, I officially feel “moved in.”
Anyway, the side-effect of this particular job is a smallish mountain of used bubble-wrap, which now needs to be thrown away. Simply stuffing all into hefty bags would require enough hefty bags to justify another home equity loan. And given the current state of the financial markets, we were forced to look for another solution.
The first few batches were taken care of by me and my sons, each patiently popping the bubbles until the plastic was flat enough to be thrown away like normal trash (OK, I popped patiently; my kids put theirs on the ground and “danced” (read: stomped) on them until they were pulverized flat). By the end, though, there was so much of it (and my hands were legitimately getting tired), that I was in search of a new solution. Then, it hit me: THE CAR!. “Honey,” I said to my wife, “I’ll get the car keys, you get the video camera. This is exactly the kind of thing that always winds up on YouTube…”

Jeff – I’m happy to report, no damage to the car; serious damage to the bubblewrap…
