The demolition continues, and now there is definitely more sheetrock on the floor than on the walls. Ben decided that we should rent a dumpster after all (rather than taking the rubble out to the city dump truckload by truckload), so we're hoping to have all the demo done by the end of the weekend. The house is looking kind of scary right now ... basically each room is just studs and a pile of garbage. Once we're through with demo, the sub-contractors can come in and work on the electrical and plumbing. Ben says it'll be another month or so before the place even starts resembling a home again. Oof.
Here are some more things we found in drawers and walls throughout the house:
-- a marble and a spool of black thread, both in the wall of the master bedroom
-- a full set of silverware, tucked in one of the kitchen drawers
-- a packet of Ritz crackers, unopened
-- a box of Nilla wafers, opened
-- a huge pile of rat poop, in a basement wall (Ben was the lucky prospector for that one)
Again, I am promising pictures in a future post. It's getting late and, frankly, I'm exhausted.
