    You should have went to get a tin can and a few pennies, stand outside on a corner and beg.

    Bet you could make a few bucks looking like that

    did some demo work last week ...

    Funny, I looked just like that a couple of weeks ago after smoking some pork butts.  It took a couple of days to get all of the soot out of my nose and ears...

    You were demoing a ceiling on a house formerly heated by coal.  Well I kinda looked like that when I did, except for the coating of rat turds and pidgeon poop mixed in with the inches of coal dust.  At  least there was no fiberglass insulation, (well no insulation at all except for the petrified rat turds).

    What were you demoing? For all the demo i've done the last time I was that dirty (strangely enough) was demoing a roof. This roof had four layers on including the original shakes under the layers of shingles.

    We took so much weight off the top if that house when we got ready to go home we couldnt shut to door due to the house shifting.

    Good thing it was a flip and not a clients house.

      nahh ...

       

      good buddy DanteO said he had a nice easy job for me to help on ...

      somehow he got busy that day? ... actually that week.

       

      job's so close to home I begged for it ... see ... home for lunch!

       

      I usually do my own demo anyways ... couldn't do it for a living ...

      but like doing it every now and then.

       

      dirt makes ya feel like a real man.

      brings me back to my roots ... good old days of dad sealing us inside an old house with prybars and shovels ... by the time I was 12 I had the lungs of a 40 yr old coal miner ...
