$330, $163, $30



$330: The cost for the 30 yard dumpster we rented for 2 weeks. We were hopeful that we could work fast enough to get the demo done in 2 weeks. Unfortunately, we didn’t ever think that we would fill the dumpster by day 3 of our project. Needless to say, we get to pay more to have them come and empty it out (so we can re-fill it with more junk).

$163: The cost for the permit we had to get prior to starting work on the house. We purchased this from the building inspector (who works for the city). We get the privilege of purchasing 2 more of these permits through the course of our entire project.

$30: The cost for the tetanus shots we both maybe, sorta’, definitely should have received before we started (but we didn’t).

We’ve worked hard every day after our regular jobs on the house. The photo below shows the bathroom that I have spent the past 3 days hitting, scraping, and tearing the ceramic tile away from. Let me tell ya’….they call it manual labor for a reason.

  1. I'm just impressed it didn't fall off the house when you were doing all of the hitting, scraping and tearing! ;)

  2. But man how awesome is being able to demo something! Have any pent up emotion, give the lady a sledgehammer and let her go!
