3 Years Cleaning Up Inherited Land — Hauling the Last Natural Stones to Another Prefecture

Three years of cleaning up the land I inherited, and this is the last of it: natural stones. The only place that would take them was in Niigata. My truck has Ishikawa plates. I've been cleaning up this land little by little for about three years. Concrete, wood, all kinds of junk. The several tons of concrete are finally gone. What was left were natural stones, and the place that took my concrete wouldn't accept them. A local person told me about a yard that would. But I didn't know if they accepted loads from regular people, and I was coming from another prefecture. I figured asking online wouldn't get me very far, and on the phone, my dialect might just make them wary. So I drove there and explained everything in person. It took over 30 minutes. I filled out the paperwork, mentioned the local person's name, and somehow they let me dump the stones. Until I got there, I honestly wasn't sure it would work. It was about 500 kg, and I paid around 5,000 yen. I lost the receipt from that day, but the rate is 8,000 yen per ton. A fair price. Mostly, I was just glad they took them. I inherited land. The junk came with it. And I'm the one cleaning it up. I'm not a clever person, and I don't have any special talent. I've just done what I could, one thing at a time. The land looks very different from three years ago, and maybe I've changed a little too. It's not all over yet. My parents' house still has a lot of natural stones. That's next. I've also started translating these videos into several languages. In Japanese, it's just a video of a man loading rocks. Still, people from different countries have started watching. Someday, I'd like to make multilingual translation part of my work.
