After yesterday's post about Crime & Trauma Scene Cleaners, some commenters wanted more, more, more (and maybe a reality show). Eric Westerman, who documents the CTSC work had provided us some more scenes inside the workplace. Do I need to say that these may be disturbing to some readers?

Westerman writes about the terminology: "'Gross filth' is basically a generic term we use for jobs that have exceeded anything Molly Maid would touch. Think the house from Fight Club -- that's a gross filth house. We're basically the last line of defense before you bulldoze a place. That house took something like 5 or 6 dumpsters to empty, and I mean the ones that are about 8 feet tall and 26 feet long. One place took 11. Good times.
