Throwing a house away, one dumpster at a time

We are finishing up demolition of the downstairs.  Last weekend, we pulled off the last of the old drywall.  It is a messy business.  We wear masks and safety glasses and still have black boogers at the end of the day.  We have rigged up a ramp to get the stuff into the dumpster as directly as possible.

The more eagle-eyed reader will notice that although I am raising up the wheelbarrow, nothing is coming out.  Yes, the above is a staged photograph.  The picture below shows what really happened when I had Pop taking a picture of me dumping the wheelbarrow.

One of the planks that I was using as a ramp fell out from under me as I got the wheelbarrow up to dump.  Poppa was ready and waiting and snapped the shot as I hit the ground.  Click on the picture to view the full sized picture to get all the ugly details.  It was the first time that the ramp had failed, and Poppa got the shot.  Also, the batteries in the camera died right after that picture.  Strange.
