Leaves for insulation

[retired54]

Don't you mean inside a box? I'm not knocking trailers. I lived in one when I was in my 20's. I would never use leaves as insulation. I though this thread was a joke.

Oh, I dunno. I live alone, so on a regular basis the last tomato or two in the pack gets mushy before I manage to eat it. Rather than see it go to waste, I open the slider off the kitchen, and set it on the edge of the deck. Something usually eats it within a day....

I assume you're a bachelor, we have strange habits.

If the little woodland creatures didn't come visit me, I wouldn't get any visitors at all. Better in their bellies than in the landfill. I don't garden, so a compost pile is pointless. (aside from the annual multi-ton leaf pile against the fenceline out back, but that is so I don't have to bag or burn.)

Next time you're in the city, prowl around behind apartments to find a three-sided aquarium, usually next to the dumpster. Take it home.

Line the three sides with reflective film. Fashion a lid from scrap wood. It is now a bird feeder.

Install your new bird feeder in the window next to your breakfast table. As you have your morning coffee, sprinkle some bird seed - or crunchy bits of your waffle - in the feeder and enjoy the birdies sharing your breakfast.

People who live in trailers are, by an large, frugal.

This whole thread started with the observation that leaves don't grow on trees.

Come on HeyBub. How about a little balance on trailer residents. There are many fine small businesses run from trailers. Here's a fellow on a conference call for instance:
