Happy dumpster day!

So, the 20-yard dumpster looks smaller in front of the garage than I'd like. Hmm.

So, I started loading it up. I threw all of the stuff out of the garage that is getting thrown out (which can be thrown in the dumpster). That leaves a little tiny bit of lumber that I'm keeping, which I guess I will move to the basement for now, and a metric shitload of firewood. I moved some more to the front porch to dry for the summer, but the rest really doesn't have any place else to go.

I got all of the glass out of the windows, and I believe that I got all the pieces of it off the ground. There's quite a bit of old stone, bricks and concrete left about, but I think that will go in best later. It's heavier than hell, and it can fill any spaces that turn up. I have a few loads of old lumber in the basement to bring up.

So, probably by about 10:00 AM tomorrow, I will be on to the big projects:

• Rip down the garage. I'm pretty sure all of the garage will fit, but that is definitely the priority. I'm tired of looking at the listing, heaving structure.
• Gut the downstairs bathroom. Everything is going except for the toilet. At least some portions of the subfloor need to be replaced, as well. There's a bunch of tile and sheetrock/plaster to go. The only thing I'm really worried about though is the tub. Hopefully, I can shoehorn it in.
• Take down the chain link fence. This shouldn't be a big deal. The posts don't take that much room.

Anyone in the mood for hard-core destructifying is welcome to join in. I haven't really picked a strategy for bringing down the garage yet, but I'll work something out. The bathroom and fence are pretty straightforward.
