The remodel has officially begun. 8 hours in and I have already generated more wast than I had anticipated. We looked into getting a dumpster but that ran around 400$ so that option was out. We decided to get the biggest garbage can our service offers and simply throw a little away each week. I am now thinking we will be throwing away construction garbage for the next year!
The first step was reconfiguring existing walls. I replaced a door rough in with a wall and moved an existing wall about three feet to give our rec room some more space. Next step is insulating and framing the outer perimeter walls.
Very exciting! I think we have the option of hauling construction waste to the recycling center to get rid of it. May have to pay for it, but much less than the $400 for a dumpster. Not sure if you guys could do something like that?
ReplyDeleteWe also have that option but it is a minimum $45 charge so it's not something that is cost effective to do often. I was thinking that we will probably run one load on the trailer when all the rough in work is done.
ReplyDeleteHey Erik!
ReplyDeleteDave and I borrowed a trailer and filled each project. The $10 per dump fee was worth it. We lucked out occasionally falling on a seasonal overflow day for garbage collection at the curb.
Best of luck to you and Julie!
