dumpster driving
we filled up our 20-yard dumpster, so we had to have them come and haul it away and give us a 15-yard dumpster. switching out dumpsters is an interesting ordeal when there's just one guy and one truck. he had to drop the new dumpster off up the street, pick up the old dumpster, dump it off in the zoo, pick the new dumpster back up, drop it off in our driveway, and then pick up the old dumpster and haul it away. the whole process took almost an hour. i was kind of amused by this:
last night matt and i plowed into removing the horrible tile from the bathroom (well, the outer layer of horrible tile, anyway). we made some pretty decent progress:
assuming we get all that tile out by this evening, we'll start tearing down this wall:
i also hopped up onto the roof last night to further investigate the chimney and the fireplace flue. originally i was going to seal everything off myself after removing the fireplace, but now i'm thinking i might have a chimney dude handle this one, as it's a little different than the chimney designs i'm used to seeing and i want to make sure i don't totally screw things up.
