No walls between us

Completed removing the walls - well, at least those planned. The dumpster is full.

The remaining walls are for the 3rd floor stairwell (to act as dust containment), the second floor foyer (need scaffold), and the master bathroom tub. Forgot to mention yesterday, but another surprise. The bathtub has a tile half-wall around it - thought that it was cement board, but it is not. Not only is it drywall, but Chinese drywall, so it has to go. The trouble it that it is behind the tub. So, I think the tub probably has to come out too in order to get at the wall. We decided to procrastinate on that one.

Back to work tomorrow; dumpster to be changed (hopefully, request by voicemail only); nail removal to begin and once dumpster is empty, ceilings on first floor. Both David and I expect that to go fast - the big sheets are much easier to remove than the little ones. By the way, we pulled 333 pieces of drywall - a "piece" ranging from a full 4' x 12' sheet to 4' by 6" door jamb. All were photographed and recorded (thanks Judge Fallon) - so I'll be able to share a percentage by count in the coming days after I get the list put together (probably after the ceilings too - they're CD - we can see the end tape now).
