I wondered about that. When it stopped raining, they were all gone.   
SWMBO said she saw them picking up the second 20 yd dumpster and 
dropping the third.  I thought they had the stuff in a pile for some 
scrapper to pick up.  But either that happened, or they went  in the 
second or third dumpster.


Looks like I missed the chance.

I was thinking 2 walkers and a slab of 3/4" plywood could make a 
portable bench.  Or 2 walkers could replace sawhorses.
