At every point of this project I've contemplated hiring some help to get things wrapped up. This was one of them that I kept coming back to. The problem was that I always felt I would run into these points where I would just have someone standing around waiting for me to make decisions, so I ultimately never did get any help moving debris. It made me stronger right?
So to start into this part of the project, I wanted to get as much of the place pulled down as possible before renting the dumpster. I didn't want the dumpster sitting idle in the driveway while I tried to figure out how to tear something down, so I got it to a point where I had as much debris next to the studio as still get around and then I started looking for dumpsters. After looking through several different companies, I was blown away on how much they wanted to for 20 yarder ($350-500). I ended up using Ponce Services. The didn't have the absolute lowest price, but it wasn't the worst. I wish I would have asked if the price was with taxes, since it came up to around $430 once Texas got his cut. So when they delivered it, I was totally amazed that the driver was able to get dang thing in our driveway since it's barely truck width as is. One thing I didn't think about until after the drive was gone was that the bar to open the door to the dumpster was on the same side as the fence!! My only option was to pull out some planks on the fence and see if I could get it open. No joy since the bar would have to pass thru one of the posts of the fence.
So I stopped worrying about that and started loading it up. I was really suprised that the 20 yarder didn't hold as much as I would expect. I got the studio down to the floor and didn't have anymore room, so I called the company and had them pick it back up. Not sure how I will get ride of the rest, but at least it's down to the ground and not a problem. I'll have to finish the job before I can work on the fence....
Finally got the roof all the way down! I wanted to save those door, so I have to be a little more careful the rest of the way.
