I took a pry bar to the corner of the room and worked until I filled a trashcan.

Day 3 Demolition

This makes a huge mess.  Luckily I am just going to roll up the carpet and trash it.

Dumpster

The dumpster is bigger than my car in all dimensions other than height.

Day 4 demolition

The first night I had the dumpster I had made a pass along the longest wall and the width of a sheet of gypsum.  Probably about 80 sq ft.

Day 5 Demolition

I worked for a few hours until I got really tired.  I did another pass length wise.  I started again on the far right you can see above.

This shows how I rolled up the carpets and used them like drop cloths.

Day 6 Demolition

This shows me beginning the smaller section of the basement ceiling.

Day 7 Demolition

This shows the finished ceiling.
