Bill...Be careful..Did something similar only it was stucco , old plumbing fixtures , pipe , etc...The driver couldn't get the roll off back on the truck and we had to lift the end of the 30 yd dumpster with a loader to unload some of the debris...What a pain in the ass...I would not load it with dirt and call the dumpster company before you get too far along...rj

Thanks RJ and Werner. I won't be around when they try to pick it up so I better stop where I'm at which is not quite half full with most of the weight on the end being hoisted.
Is the dumpster half-empty or half-full?
I will ponder this as I dress the load out and get back to landscaping.
---edit to say thanks Nah000 and NutAgain!
What you said tells me to stop here and pay for another trip.

did some quick googling...
while different bin providers have different limits [some as low as 3000 lb for a 10 yarder] in general the limit for a 10 or 11 yarder was 10000 lb.
depending on moisture content, soil is usually between 2-3000 lb per yard... which means half full is probably all you can conservatively get assuming dryish dirt and without knowing the exact weight limit from your bin provider...

You can weigh a fixed volume sample of the material you plan to load, then extrapolate the weight for the entire volume, and compare to what is stated on the container or truck or the company that performs the service for you.
HV- beautiful interior.
JB- that gives me a Q-bert flashback. I hear that plunger sound as he hops around. It would be cool to add little MC Escher-like figures moving in different planes to mess with one's sense of perspective.

The kitchen cabinets that I made will hopefully go in before I leave for 10 days starting Thursday.
Edit: While I am certainly no Edge
I thank you for what I'm sure was meant as a compliment, but it's undeserved. I get inspired and learn things from most every post on this thread, including your beautiful work. My wife and I should be closing on Friday on our first and hopefully last Colorado home, and I'm sure to keep checking in to pirate some details from any number of these posts.
We have an amazingly talented community.

Chief, that is pretty cool. I'm filling in as the geography nazi until someone more qualified takes over:
either she is looking east from her porch in Alturas, or those aren't the Warner Mountains. More like the stuff by Lassen/Lavabeds/Shasta.

During my final year at Olympic n.p. I recreated three historic cabins at Rosemary lodge at lake crescent. Technically I was on the trail crew at the time, but the carpenters shop liked to use me because I didn't do much hand wringing over preserving historic fabric too far gone to save.
The original structures had deteriorated thru benign neglect to the point that they were basically standing duff. Consequently I salvaged what windows and doors that were still sound then built an exact (or close to it) replica of each building.
I know the color schemes suck, but that is what they historically were. I liked them better before they were painted.

I'm finishing the attic of a 200 year old timberframe.
Not much to show, but it is a pretty fun project.

Brandon,
Looks like those original rafters sure are spaced out, amazing how little wood there is holding things up in old buildings sometimes.
Before I tore down the original version of the pink cabin in my last post the porch and posts holding up the roof had totally rotted away leaving the whole porch roof hanging with no support. It had been that way for a long time before I got there so it was sagging pretty good under its own weight and probably close to a ton of moss and leaves it collected over the years. You could easily wiggle it up and down with just a finger and as near as I can tell all that was holding it up was fewer than 20 nails where the skip sheeting was nailed to the main roof deck.

Those old frames stand the test of time. Rafters are around seven feet on center, but they are oak. A floor jack took some of the deflection out of the purlins when I sistered them, but they were in pretty good shape. Most still have the bark on them. I really do love working on old buildings. There is so much to learn, and creative problem solving is the crux.
