Dust, Dust, Dust

Attached is the first video footage from Oak Street. It's riveting (note sarcasm). In short, after spending the week removing plumbing, duct work, electrical, tile, flooring, and everything else nailed down, we spent the weekend removing plaster. Neither one of us had any idea how filthy it would be. Apparently, the former owner of this home was a smoker. We have been covered in nasty black dust all weekend and now the little Flip camera is also covered in dust (thanks for letting me borrow it, Dad).

Removing plaster from the walls is back-breaking work. However, when we got to the ceiling in the kitchen Trent had an idea. He went up to the attic and just started beating the plaster and insulation down. I went for the video camera.

We still have more walls to remove in the house, but the demo is on schedule to be completed by this next weekend (which is good, because I just can't handle being this dirty).
