DemoBags to the rescue

DemoBags, a renovator's best friend.

Kevin Kelly's Cool Tools site has another awesome equipment tip today that I feel the need to pass on: DemoBags. Made of tightly-woven plastic fiber, the bags are supposed to hold anything you throw at 'em, and withstand the abuse that's typical of demolition and renovation waste disposal -- which makes them perfect for the 400 to 500 pounds of broken-up concrete that I need to clear out from beneath our backyard deck. I ordered a batch of them from Absolute Home, and I'll let y'all know how they work out!

We discovered contractor bags a few weeks into doing plaster demolition. They saved us unmeasurable time, being able to bag stuff for later instead of having to fill and then empty our 3 trash cans... The bags easily held more stuff than I could lift, though sharp pointy things would poke through.
