Tearing out the Chimney

This weekend our goal was to tear out the chimney that is on the inside of the house. We had to box up everything upstairs and move it to the recently cleaned up downstairs. We were thinking we were going to be able tp store everything in the house, but now are unsure. We may have to look into renting a pod. Mr. Ronnie, Mrs. Twilla, Mom, and Dad all come over to help us. What a dirty job! There was a continuous cloud of orange dust coming out of every window of the house all afternoon. We were throwing things out of the hole in the roof, through windows, and taking bricks and dirt out by the buckets and wheelbarrows full. We had masks on and goggles. I just knew I was going to be so stopped up but I was not too bad surprisingly. Here is the progress to report as pictured in the photos above. We still have to do half of the downstairs to the ground level. At least another days work....
