I thought that moving the material actually through the house would make too much of a mess, so I decided to use the 8" hose from a server blower I had to get the material from the window to the garbage cart on the ground. At this point I was also very concerned about asbestos since the first thing I saw when I googled "Beaver Bestwall" was asbestos remediation. Based of a lot more googling a lot of people said that drywall never had asbestos in it, and it was just the joint compound, but I still wore a P100 respirator so I wouldn't breath any of it in while I was working as well as putting fans in the windows to create a negative pressure to keep the dust out of the rest of the house. And after more research, it seems the people who get mesothelioma worked with asbestos constantly their entire working lives without a mask, so I'm probably fine.
I also decided to take out that OSB wall, and to get most of the plaster off the wall in that closet I just kicked the wall from the other side, which was fun.
Journey through remodeling my house. The original goal of this blog is to look back on the project 20 years from now, when pictures aren't enough to remember everything, and I thought this was easiest way to do it. But I'm regretting that since Blogger's interface is only getting worse. I only update this periodically even though I'm usually working on something and taking pictures.
