465 pieces of Chinese drywall on the wall, 465 pieces of Chinese drywall, take one down, throw it around, 464 pieces of Chinese drywall on the wall...
All drywall off the wall. Outside possibility that there is still some under the master tub - need to crawl under there tomorrow to verify - but none anywhere else. All ceilings down, all walls, all hard places.
The blown insulation was ridiculous. We had it piled up in the foyer, no joke, 5 feet tall, wall to wall. I created a blower from the foyer into the dumpster with a leaf blower, 20ft of dryer duct, and 1 ton of duct tape. Worked like a champ for a while, but the insulation was full of drywall, nails, PVC pipe, and other hidden treasures, so eventually all of the impeller blades on the leaf blower broke and the system died... We got it "all" in eventually... one snow-shovel full at a time. We are on our third dumpster. Should be plenty.
Curt arrived from Chicago to help for the weekend - great to have three again - seems to be a magic number for dramatic progress in a day. Looking forward to a productive weekend.
Tomorrow is de-dust day. Getting the rest of the blown insulation still up in the rafters, air-washing, and shop-vac-ing. Probably get the carpeting out - we'll see how clean we can get it - if worth the risk to keep through new drywall installation - it is a nice barrier for the hardwood floors.
