Shoveling rubble

The bathroom demolition began yesterday, and this is how it looked today when we got there:





There was a big pile of demo trash on the ground outside the window where the guys dumped bucket after bucket of plaster, lath strips, nails and tile. Keith went to work with the skid loader to clear away that pile before the rain comes. I started to pull tile off the ceiling and walls, but I was pretty slow at that, and thought my efforts might be more useful elsewhere, so I pulled out the rest of the lath and nails and started filling trash cans with the debris.

When Keith finished, he pulled the skid loader right up to the house with the bucket raised just outside the window, and we shoveled all of the rubble right into it. At the end of the day the bathroom was cleared out.
