I felt like it.
Senhako jigoku describes the fact that, ever since moving into the trailer, I've been storing boxes and packing material because I don't want it going into the landfill. Now that I know where a nearby cardboard recycling drop is, life is good. I've also learned that the "I Sold It on eBay" stores will take styrofoam - large chunks or peanuts, they don't care. Bubble wrap, etc, as well. That's even better than dumping it into a recycling system, because the system would require energy to remake it as new - these guys are just re-using it as it stands.
Normally, when I get cardboard boxes in, I toss them into the reading room. Once in a while, I go in with a knife and cut the packing tape so they can be laid down flat. The problem here is that the boxes do stack up eventually, and although senhako was an exaggeration, I definitely did have well over a hundred boxes in the reading room when you count in the cut-down ones.
The next day had some progress, but not a huge amount. Bear in mind that I take these pictures before I start cleaning for a day, so what you see is always a day behind what it looks like by the end of the night.
At any rate, you can peruse these pictures of senhako jigoku. I'm writing this on the 18th, having hauled my third full-to-the-brim load out today. I have high hopes that the fourth load will not be enough to fill up my Pathfinder, but I've been surprised each day for the past three days so I've learned to stop ruling it out.
