Knowing I was going to be tearing insulation out of the wall, I decided to come prepared |

Yikes, this house is certainly in need of help |

Dagger was excited to have us there |

The uh.. stairs |

Nice ceiling |

It actually got much much worse than this as we pushed insulation down from upstairs, but I wouldn't take my camera out at that point |

We had to work upstairs first because there was no lighting up there, so we work with the sun! |

Pile of debris |
 |

You don't want to be breathing this stuff.. |

We think it's mostly shredded newspaper, but maybe with some fiberglass too |

Dagger hard at work |

Reibello joined us! It was fun to work with him outside of Minecraft |

Swing that hammer! |

Removing the larger pieces of debris |

We had to get the sticks out before we could shovel the insulation. Otherwise it made a kind of composite polymer that was impossible to break up |

Take that, slats! |

Ben tears through the wall with an axe.. but with good reason! |

Ripping off slats by hand |

Ben looks upstairs |

As you can tell by Reibello's breath here, it was pretty cold inside |

The view from the foyer, which was pretty much intact |

Nerds at work |

Topaz had to keep the mask under his nose or his glasses fogged up |

Ben continues to work on his wall |

I thought this respirator would be ridiculous overkill, but I'm glad I brought it! |

Deciding what to work on next.. |

Munchkins! Eat them before they all get coated in insulation! |

The only heat source in the house, a crazy kerosene.. jet.. engine.. thing. It belched fire at random times |

Topaz is ready to rock |

Look at the breath! |

We filled well over a dozen of those giant garbage bags |

Even dagger eventually put on a mask |

Ben carefully navigates the second floor |

Rachie works on removing some insulation |

Walking around up here was pretty scary. You had to check your footing with every step |

I wouldn't advise walking near the hole |

Various debris removed from upstairs |

Hard at work removing the crusty old insulation |

All these giant piles of it were eventually pushed down through the hole, making a giant mess |

The hatchet worked really well here |

Rachie continues dismantling the wall |

Dagger collected the larger pieces |

Rachie's glove slipped off, and her hammer along with it! Poor Dagger got a faceful of hammer, but got off pretty light |

I decided the respirator wasn't enough and got some safety goggles as well |

Reibello looks over the menu for a well deserved post-cleanup meal |

I caught Chris off guard |

Topaz got some of that Scotch Ale he loves so much. He was bummed I wasn't a fan |

Closeup of the bubbles |

Waiting for our food to arrive |

The wide angle adapater catches Topaz's stupid face |

Dagger's feeling better with some progress made on the house and a bandaid on her head |

The adapter is also useful for artsy pictures like this! |
