Destruction is Easy; Cleaning Up, Not So Much

The demolition of the old pig barn is in full swing. I wouldn't say destroying parts of the old building was all that easy, but it was -- as Bruce Charlton often notes -- much easier than creating the new building will be. 

​Cleaning up the destruction is another challenging factor, and that's exactly where I am with this pig barn project. 
Picture Roof is down, most of the walls gutted. Nearly ready for the "creation" stage. Picture All the "stuff" I removed from the building to get it to the nearly ready for creation stage (roof beams, cross beams, planks, concrete, bricks, etc.). It goes without saying that this all has to be cleaned away before construction can commence. Picture The green container in the background contains the 8 cubic meters of rubble I have hauled out the building thus far (all by hand, over two days, using nothing but two buckets, my hands, a shovel, and a wheelbarrow). I have about another 8 cubic meters left to extract. Other junk includes broken lawn care equipment, bags of polystyrene insulation, old rabbit hutches, and so forth. My construction office is visible on the right (the snazzy red coffee table with the executive chair behind it).
