Use them on most jobs. Fantastic bags. Rated for 3300 pounds but I've had as much as 4400. Same driver always picks them up. He said in 4 years he's only had one break open. Pick up happens within 72 hours and you get a discount for multiple bags

No bedroom stuff. A couple columns but it's all from the master bath suite

Looks like a hell of a large shower. There's a lot of water proofing material. And apologies, I misread the title as "bedroom".

I'm getting ready to swing my demolition hammer on a bathroom in one of my rentals. It's going to be a nasty job.

At least they're green.

Green Kevlar Hefty bags. No whimpy bags!

Damn, what did they not like about that? They must have more money than brains. But I guess that's good for you.

From the photo of debris in the bags it looks like the last slimy contractor didn't install a RedGuard moisture barrier & stuck tiles to plywood instead of cement backer board. They slapped lipstick on a pig so another contractor can squeeze more money out of them 5 years down the road.

Ditra is 100% waterproof. And what you see isn't plywood its concrete.
If it was tile on plywood I could have knocked it all out with a painters 5way rather than a mini jackhammer

They want white marble and black floors. 12x12 tile is dated. In the last 5 or 6 years I've only done one job with a 12x12. Mostly it's all 24 to 48 inch products now. 30 seems to be the sweet spot.

Goto harbor freight and by an electric demo hammer. Work smart not hard

Get an air hammer. Electric hammers suck. They will just fuck up your kidneys, spleen and pancreas.

Use a spade bit to remove tile.

I ditched all my air equipment years ago. The only thing I have left is my framing nailer for big jobs. I have 2 electric demo hammers and they work great. The new one has shock absorbers in it. But yes a 3inch wide blade is a must if you're not tearing out mudwork or concrete

The problem I've had with the electric demo hammers is that when you get to about 60 pounds, the motor is so large that it is super convenient to just lean into it with your body, and that vibrates you internal organs. Then you are pissing blood the next day.

For me, a cement mason, it's better to just get a 90 pound air hammer because they have more power and a lower center of gravity than a 60 pound electric hammer. So they are easier to use. The only downside is that you have to tow along an air compressor and hoses.

I don't want to bring down the whole house, cause it ain't insured. It's an old brick home with Plaster on Wood Lath. I learned to keep the Wood Lath on the walls & re-plaster it when I can because it's difficult for Tenants to destroy & it don't get moldy.

I wish we could get PURPLE Hi-Impact XP wall board here in Missouri. I got some cheap at Lowes in Florida & used it everywhere. That is Tuff Ass Drywall that won't mold even in Florida where mold grows everywhere even inside vehicles.
