Deleting multiple objects from usr inventory, anyone?

Player picks up a block of wood, which has the verb "craft_lumber". This creates a board and some wood scraps in player's inventory, then destroys the block of wood.

Player then decides to use the wood scraps to make some paper. Wood scraps have the verb "craft_paper", which is supposed to:
See if the player has bleach
If he has bleach
Create a sheet of paper in his inventory
Destroy the wood scraps
Destroy the bleach
If he does not have bleach
Tell him to go to Wal Mart

Not going to waste time pasting my malfunctioning code in here (considering I still suck at writing it with out good examples I dont have to track down), so I hope that the duty diagram above will help someone lay it out for me so I can understand.

And before Crashed yells at me, I have downloaded many well comment demos and have found nothing that covers my specific issues that will work. As I search through the code with all its surrounding functionalities and technical tidbits, my eyes water and the screen goes wavy. 8P

obj
    wood
        verb
            Craft_Board()
                set src in oview(1)
                if(!(src in usr.contents)) return
                usr << "You craft a board!"
                new/obj/board(usr)
                new/obj/Wood_Scraps(usr)
                del(src)
    board
    Wood_Scraps
        verb
            Craft_Paper()
                set src in oview(1)
                if(!(src in usr.contents)) return
                if(/obj/bleach in usr.contents)
                    usr << "You craft Paper!"
                    new/obj/paper(usr)
                    del(/obj/bleach) in usr.contents
                    del(src)
                else usr << "Go to Wal-Mart!"
    bleach
    paper

Should work, but is not tested

There are no object types in the contents list. What you want to do is
var/obj/bleach/O = locate()in contents
if(!O)return

In response to Loduwijk
Thanks for your invaluable assistance. With your examples and my limited knowledge of coding (I cannot find my copy of the Blue Book), I managed to rearrange the code to fit with the way I need it to work. Thank you again Stolidus and Loduwijk!!
