- Tearing down the concrete block building. Back for day 2 and it's time to take the old out building down. I got a little inside footage and didn't lose a camera lol! I think we had 5 or 6 loads of wood debris on this building and 8 to 10 on the concrete. I took everything but the slab out today, I'll get back tomorrow to do that and do my final grade of the property. The 2150 is perfect for demolition work, it has awesome reach and the pro link thumb is great for picking up the small pieces. Thanks for watching! #EliteEarthworks #Takeuchi #Demolition
Awesome job Brandon.
Thank you!
The tearing down part is the best part, l think.
I agree!
Different. Enjoyable. Nice change from usual stuff.
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Fun watching,like the broom you used,stay safe.
Thank you! It worked pretty well lol.
That looks like a lot of fun!!
It’s a lot of fun!
A typical house is 8 to12 20-25 yd semi trailer loads. 2-6 tons per load. Hoarder houses and when everything is left behind are the worst. Hauling demo is fun until you arrive at the landfill, then it becomes real. Such wonderful sights and smells 🤣
Cool thanks man that is good to know. Oh I bet 🤢 that’s a smell you don’t get use too 🤣
Good video.
Thanks!
Gotta love some demo work!
Oh yes it’s fun!
Great channel 👏👏👏
Thank you!
Good work bud, good idea with that pine sweeping the concrete, haha, 2150 made quick work of that trash, thanks for sharing man 💪🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks man! It’s a beast of a machine! Appreciate you watching
Looking good. Didn't stand a chance. Have a great day be safe.
Thank you! It took it down pretty easy
Skills!👍🏻🤘🏻
Thanks buddy!
Nice work Brandon, love the green sweeping brush attachment.
Thank you! Lol worked pretty good I usually use a mattress but I didn’t find one there.
Finally… a use for cedar saplings!
Ditto on the Intro and nice drone shots, too. Beautiful day. Hey, was that my old BoomBox I saw there? I suppose it's with your GoPro7 by now!!!!
🤣🤣 that was a nice boom box. Appreciate you watching
Great video!!! I love how it started. Action packed!
Not my style, but I am sure you could’ve gotten some good money for that door, with all of these people who are adding these types of doors to their barn-styled or “farmhouse” home renovations. That thing had “character!”
Thank you! I appreciate that. That is true
This would have been the perfect job for Mrs. E, you could have set up a lawn chair with an adult beverage and supervised 🍺😆
🤣🤣 no kidding! I like that idea
It great to have Barn door Tailgates less fuss Dat way all our Dump trailers & Road truck have Barn door Tailgates less fuss Dat way for we move a lot of Big stumps & Brush as well as Demo materials ect.
I have fought my share of hung loads it is a real Bear
Yeah that would be really handy. I plan on getting one someday on the Pete
They are definitely worth the investment saves something fuss & a bit more safer
Some of those little trees are tougher than the big ones....thats whatIi have found...LOL
Yes they are! Thanks for watching
Demolition jobs have to be one of the most fun, for the first few minutes. lol
I agree! The clean up gets kind of old 🤣
Awesome intro and I loved the bush at the end used as a broom.
Thanks man! I usually use a mattress to do the sweeping but I couldn’t find one there lol
Loved the "cedar tree whisk broom!" Great idea.
It worked great! 😁
Pleased you left the concrete pad and didnt tear it up, great flat and dry place to store material and equipment on when re-building, it can always come out later. Good vid mate.
That was my thinking but the homeowner had me tear it out the next day. I guess it’s where the new house is going. Thanks for watching
Who built that block. Astonishing!
I have no idea 🤣
Great intro! I totally agree with you, that stinks to get to the landfill and then have to deal with the load hanging up in the truck. Then, you have to hope the guys at the landfill have some equipment to dig it out for you or do it by hand. I would hate to see your dad have to fight that battle. Great video! It is so much better than watching the Superbowl! Thank you for sharing the video, quantities of debris removal, and information with us!
Thank you! Yep that’s what I was worried about much better to load a touch less and have it come. I appreciate that! I’m not a football fan either lol. Appreciate you watching
@@eliteearthworksllc your welcome! Anytime Brandon! Lol, I understand, I just never did get into foot either!
Looks like it's time for new sideboards on Dad's rig!
Ol' Cedar Broom was a nifty idea! 😂👍
Yes lol it’s in bad shape. I think he has more at the shop. It worked pretty well. Appreciate you watching
Great job Brandon
Thank you!
😊
Thanks!
Yeah, like everyone else, "LOVE THE INTRO"! It started and in a minute I had to check the channel I clicked on! GLAD you had fun tearing down and sorry you guys had to clean it up, but hey, ya know! DIRT BRUTE made a nice BARN DOOR on his DUMP MOBILE. Too bad it wasn't easier to have the gate open at the bottom also! THANKS!!!
Thanks! I thought it made for a fun intro. I remember seeing that. Appreciate you watching
You did an Awesome job! Its always nice to change things up every once in a while. I have a cousin that owns a small excavation business in Florida and he just recently started demolishing old homes. He said it kinda therapeutic to demo an old house every now and then.
Thanks! It is very therapeutic I enjoy it! Thanks for watching
The tree sweeper was a classic. Keep smilin
Thanks! 😁 appreciate you watching
Glad to see your getting bigger jobs with the 2150 Brandon.
Thanks man! Me too makes me feel better than just having it sitting there lol
Looking good. Your next machine...88,000lb. Cat 336F and you'll be "getting out of the frying pan and into the fire"...give it a try it, it's fun!...lol
That would be awesome! Maybe some day!
Our construction and demolition fees went from $70/ ton➕️ to $90/ ton ➕️
Everything has gone crazy. That’s what I big part of the price comes from the hauling and dump fees
👍👍👍
Thank you!
Glad to see you sweeping up after the mess you made.
🤣🤣 got to keep it tidy
wait all the blocks are in a row and not staggered lol is that why the wall pretty much wanted to fall over so easy
Lol I know I have no idea what it was built that way. Absolutely no strength
I can just hear you saying in your head as you snap those trees like twigs with the 2150 “F*kn Aye!!!” More of a phrase from my past, but I have my nephews (all adults, or at least 1y for the great nephews) saying it now. I hear their friends say it too!! I laugh so hard, but their parents,,, my siblings or in laws (outlaws??) are not as impressed???? Hahaha. Oh well,,, F*kn Aye!!! I’m definitely feeling much better, really like my old self even!! Haha.
That little shop was actually very well built!! I know I said brick shops were not the best in my region of the world, but if it didn’t need insulation, or not much,,,,, a clean, some spray foam to the underside of the roof, some hard insulation up against the inside brick and maybe it would work,,,,, you would definitely know much better than I would for your area. Simply put it didn’t work in the instance of this yard, you made some fill and it’s all good!! Not much destruction left now before it becomes a preparation for the new homesite for a family!! Sweet!! The trees all around are great!
You knowwww, if you were going to take on an employee, or co-worker in this case I think, (it’s none ma bidness) your dad was probably the last person you thought of, but it appears that he was the right person to work with!! I like what I see. Don’t know how it is off camera and don’t want or need to know. If it were my father and I it would not be good,,,,,, might be great for TH-cam!! Get millions of hits from seeing us hack on each other in very bad ways!!! If we worked together, we were oil and water, always were. If we were away from work, we were good friends!! We fished together, camped together, (drank together) it was a great thing!! Go figure. I really hope you get along with your father in both cases. It sure looks good here.
There still was a lot of debris other than the concrete etc in this shop. Surprising! I think you are doing some really nice work here.
I told my wife about the idea Mrs Elite floated about the fuzzy masked bandit that ran from the house. Once I said that you have 2 cats, she lost it!! She decided if the raccoon made it into the house, between the cats and the raccoon, you would be needing new furniture, carpets and maybe flooring by the time the cats evicted the raccoon!!! Hahaha. She loved the slapstick affair it would be!!! Hahaha.
You and the family stay safe, Eh!!
Lol I was! That 2150 is a beast! Dad and me get along way better now. When I was working for him years ago it wasn’t so good. We hit heads a lot but after I was on my own for a few years I think he finally saw what I was capable of and we are getting along better than ever. He’s been great help and it’s back to being fun to work together again. 🤣 oh yes the raccoon and cats would have destroyed everything! Glad she liked it. And I appreciate you watching
The 2150 didn't even break a sweat. Nice work!!! 👍
Nope it’s an animal! 💪🏻
Cool stuff...I need to demolish an old cinder block building and foundation, 3000 sq ft building... lots of concrete. Between equipment rental or hire out, demo, haul off and dump fees I dont see a way to keep this project under $25 grand. Plus, if its anything like my other projects it'll cost me twice as much as I budget for. Any better methods or tips to keep costs down and make this thing disappear?
If you had an area on site where you could dump the stuff that would help. I’ve even smash the blocks with the excavator before and used that for a sub base on a drive way. Demo is just expensive that’s the bad part about it
Great video! Still trying to land my first demo job. Looks like a nice break from slinging dirt! Thanks again for sharing how you do it!
Thank you! It was fun definitely a nice change of pace. Appreciate you watching
How on earth is that block building even standing
I honestly have no idea. It can’t be very strong without staggering the joints
wow. its amazing how some people build stuff and they get away with it. i have experience in brick laying and that my friend was built all kinds of wrong. probably a home owner seeing it on face book. 4inch block and not 8. the joints are suppose to be staggered. joint in row 2 is suppose to be half the block length of row 1. i could go on but wont. glad your tearing it down bud. great vid.
That’s what I was thinking I’ve never seen one with the joints not staggered. Definitely a weak design. Lol I agree a novice must have built it. Thanks for watching
@@eliteearthworksllc I was going to say something but this guy covered it all I'm amazed that it was standing must have been the roof trusses holding it together, don't know how he got them up there without knocking the walls over.
@@barryhansen6854 exactly the roof must have been all the strength. It’s crazy they built it that way
@@eliteearthworksllc I'm amazed that they got away with it, no building inspector I suppose.
@@barryhansen6854 yeah I doubt they had one. It was a ways out of town
I hear you knocking, but you can’t come in!
🤣🤣. Here’s Johnny!
Looking good.😁
Thank you!
Bet you watched letsdig18 demo vids. because you and Chris demo the same way !!!! 😂😂😂 Lol. Nothing more satisfying than a building demo !!!! 👍👍👍👍
Lol thanks man! I enjoy the demo work too!
I love my little E35 but man, it would be nice to have as much power and reach as you have with the 2150. That machine is nice. Great job brother.
It’s a joy to run. So smooth and quick! I’m spoiled now 🤣
I thought you were coming to get the camera at first!
I could have used that barn door track! I’m gonna put one in my shop and use it as a painting partition. Slide it out of the way when I don’t need it. Next time… there’s alway hope for the next time!!
That thumb and bucket work great for chomping up dry lumber… if you install a throat behind them… you could just let the Koochie chew and eat. Might save on landfill fees!!!
Are you going to take out the concrete? I thought you mentioned wanting some for a fill job you had.
Gonna warm up for a few days…. Enjoy it before the rain!
Dang sorry if I would have known I would have saved it for you. Yes I took the concrete out the next day it came out pretty easy. Sounds like Wednesday evening and Thursday are going to be a bust. Appreciate you watching
Great job guy , not only does the wife now realize that you can pick up after yourself , but you also know how a broom works , you sir are toast ! Lol .
🤣🤣 maybe I shouldn’t have showed that 😁
It’s always amazing the power that hydraulics give to machines. That would be a rotten job by hand.
I agree it’s amazing what they can do. Appreciate you watching
Well sir, when you opened with that inside shot with the go pro, I was wondering if it was going into the truck with the garage scrap and you had to go fish it out😁. Nice power broom at the end there young man, I’m thinking your dust pan was kind of pricey though!!!!🙄😂
🤣🤣 I luckily stopped before I buried the camera. The tree worked well. Yes it was lol. Appreciate you watching
When you first got the 2150 was it a demo? Or did you bought it.
I rented it first then bought it
First Comment 👍🇺🇸
You are back sir! 👊🏼
In my area the average is $10k per every 1000sq foot . Give or take a few !
Cool I was curious what some places got. I definitely struggle trying to get a price on them
@@eliteearthworksllc everyone I know struggles with bidding demo jobs! Like you said it depends on where the dump is and The trucking situation!
@@DirtBrute yes lots of variables
Whomever built that garage, sure didn't know a thing about laying block.
🤣 no that is for sure. I hope their not still building
💣💣💣💣
