re: Removing Above Ground Pool - Resodding Area
Posted by gumbo2176 on 12/9/24 at 7:27 am
If you don't want to break it up and haul it in your truck to a landfill, then rent a small dumpster for a few days and put it in that and they will come haul it off.

Well, considering she only lasted 1 season on "The Andy Griffith Show" and left because she felt there was no chemistry between her and Andy, I'd say not so much.
Now, Helen Krump is another story, and they carried on that relationship outside of the show if I r...

Well, what's the plan??? I've seen many bears killed on those Alaska survival type shows and those folks eat the meat from the kill.

I graduated Chalmette High School way back in 1970 and have probably only gone to 3 Friday Night Football games since then and just out of a fit of nostalgia.
