With a little help from our friends

Saturday morning



Saturday Evening





All in all, the demolition went better than we expected. We started at about 9 Saturday morning and finished by 5 p.m. We finished loading the U-Haul about an hour later. The next morning, the two of us took the load to the dump and managed, in a little more than an hour, to get rid of the three-ton pile that had taken us a day to make (actually, some of that weight was the bricks from our fireplace that we removed months ago). The guy at the dump told us it was going to cost $75 and asked if we still wanted to dump it. What else were we going to do? He told us that people who bring U-Hauls to the dump often get sticker shock when he tells them the cost. But to us it seemed cheap. We could have paid $300 for a dumpster (not sure whether our home owners' association would've allowed it) or $2,500 for someone else to do the demolition and haul the stuff away. The cost of the U-Haul and the dumping was under $200. A bargain.

Without the help of friends, and father-in-law, we never would have finished in a day. It would have been even more overwhelming than it was. At all times we had a work crew of 3 or 4. That seemed just about right. It was a big job.
