Upstairs Hallway

The blown insulation on the floor is about six inches thick. Fun times

My father pulled this cap gun out of the wall after he knocked it down. It is the same type my father used to play with when he was a kid I guess

Hornets Nest

While working we have found some interesting items including the biggest hornets nest I have seen directly above the exterior door

Piles of Garbage

My second dumpster is completely full so my house is full of piles of wall debris. I can't get another dumpster until next week so work has been slow at the house

R.I.P Sad Fan

On a sad note while I was working my father took Sad Fan down and threw it into the dumpster. I argued that we should keep Sad Fan so we could have some of the home's original charm. My father argued that if we are looking for character he would dig the shit covered mattress out of the dumpster and bring that back in the house. Looks like this is the end of the line for Sad Fan

Progress Update

So even though I haven't been able to get over to the house more than a couple times these last few weeks my father has been on vacation and he has been going nuts on my house. In the last two weeks my father has demoed 70% of the upstairs and has demoed the entire downstairs bathroom. We have set the lofty goal to have the entire house demoed by the end of January but we just filled up our second dumpster and it looks like we will need at least two more before the destruction is done. In other house related news I just received the bill for the first year of county taxes, The property was assessed at about $30,000 and while the overall bill isn't that terrible I know my house is not worth half that amount so on my next day off I am going to go on an adventure to challenge my assessment. I am sure that if the myriad of feces pictures doesn't convince them to lower my assessment the fact that I have to pee in a shack will do the trick.
