    I wish I could have posted this video sooner, but the truth is, it's been a rough couple of months. Almost two months ago, I lost my brother. We were close, as is my entire family. My brother and I lived pretty close to each other, so we saw each other probably once a week. He was my go-to person for help with projects around the house or advice on things going on in my life. He was one of the smartest people I knew. He'd accomplished a lot of great things in his life. At his funeral service, friends and coworkers of his-some people we had never even met before-shared similar stories about how he had helped them. That's just the kind of person he was. Outwardly, he was a fun, happy, talkative, and energetic guy. But inside, he was really struggling. I really can't tell you strongly enough to make sure you tell the people you love and care about just what they mean to you, just how important they are to you, and just how much you love them. We all have our own struggles and difficulties, and it's not always easy to tell when someone is really hurting inside. And if you're one of these people that's struggling, reach out to somebody, even me. Anybody can send me an email or send me a message on Instagram. Just know that people care.

    Brian so sorry to hear about the loss of your brother. Having recently retired with over 40 years in Emergency Medical Services (paramedic) I can empathize with you. My brother and I are very close as well and it is hard to imagine the loss. Your viewers grieve with you. Time will numb the pain but the good memories will last. As for the video, it is a great 3 part series. Sometimes busting up stuff just feels like victory. :)

    My old school is being demolished, it has three big parts tight together, built in 1950, and now the end of it. It was at the best in 2000s still, but when the third part came in '03, it started to be bad airquality, and mold in the newest part.

    There was an old bank in Houghton Lake, Mi being tore down.... Took about a week for them to destroy the vault. All you could see was rebar coming out of it as they chipped the concrete away from it. It was poured concrete walls with as much rebar stuffed in it as you could. looked like a damn porcupine at one point in the middle of the lot.

    Should have tried to use your steel ball ram and wacked the bottom wall instead of putting that much force on your machine. I could almost bet that if you guys tried the bottom idea. The entire vualt would have possibly eventually fallen down into the basement and broken down a little more easier. Is that excavator belong to you guys as well? If so you guys should install a water feed to the end of the boom arm just before the thumb on the side where your hydrolic hard lines are. It works out damn good & you can control the water. You guys did an awesome on the entire bank job. I enjoyed your 3 part video's. Vaults are a pain in the rear-end to demolish. I've done a few over time. Awesome videos though. Thanks.

    Thanks for the video! It's interesting to see how you handle the bank vaults. The wrecking ball didn't seem to be doing much at first, but then you see the cumulative effect as you keep going.
    I notice you didn't save the vault door this time. What did you end up using the previous door for?

    A few cuts with a demo saw to scribe some lines really speeds up demo. You only need to go in as far as the rebar, in this case, both sides.
