The Baggage Room Basement - We Got It All Done!

While we started off with a small crew of only 3 people at the start of the morning (me, Steve G and Cliff), by the end of the morning we had one of the largest crews we had ever seen since we started draining the swamp (me, Steve G, Cliff, Brad, Bill S, John W, and George M).   As a result, we got all of the dirt moved out of the baggage room basement!  Hard to believe that we only started the job at the beginning of September and, only working on Thursday mornings (and a few of those were short Thursdays!), we managed to achieve what we did.  Only way this was done was through some teamwork.

Last week, I posted this photo of where we started and what we had accomplished at the end of the day.

By mid-morning, we had that pile down quite a lot.

And by the end of the day, it looked like this. The dirt is all gone!

Quite a difference, eh!?

Here's the mug shot of today's crew.  It was a real team effort with George M and I on the shovels filling the pails, Bill S throwing them out of the baggage room basement.  Sometimes Cliff, sometimes Steve and sometimes Brad hauling the pails across the waiting room basement.  And all of them sometimes trucking them up the stairs and dumping them outside, ably assisted by John W.

Of course with all the work that we had done over the weeks, George M insisted that I put the last shovelful into the proverbial pail - sort of akin to pounding in the last spike?

A job well done, gang!
