Big house little excavator! Lets see how this goes. We demolish this 2200 sq ft house that was built in the 70s. My Kubota KX080 slightly undersized for this height but it gets the job done.
Didn't see any insulation. Wonder if the metals were stripped out of it too. Plus looking at the homes around it, it looks like the area is getting some money around there
With the price of lumber now a days I’d be reclaiming a lot of that wood before smashing the house up……about four to six times what I paid only four years ago ( I’m in Australia) for some very basic stuff .
I enjoyed tghe video. The little Kubota gets it done. I gotta ask, what's the deal w/ all of those Can-Am containers in the background? Are those side by side off road vehicles or snowmobiles in there? Seems like an odd place to be storing them.
Thanks, We ended up pulling it out and sending it off with the concrete. At the time I was trying to keep the mess contained, but yes I should have put it off to the side.
@@srmcontracting , I don't criticize anyone or wish anyone bad. I just have a different way of doing the job. Maybe you're right, maybe I'm right, who knows? Good luck with your jobs and I wish you well.
Just like those guys knocking down those really tall farm silo's with a sledge hammer....you just have to keep chipping away at the base with whatever you got. Little pieces. Like eating an elephant...1 bite at a time 😅
probably someone wants to build from the ground up, or could have been a meth house and the cost to do the repairs for the interior is high Idk i'm pulling thoughts out of my ass.
I had demolished a wall with a hammer abd s crow bar and then to the 2x6 roof frames they wanted to keep the wood and I was taking em off in the weakest plywood ever used the trusses to stay up and take em off orher wise I'd be going through
Here's a chart for rough estimates House Size Amount of Debris # of 40-yard Dumpsters 1,000 sq. ft. 135 cubic yards 3.5 2,000 sq. ft. 270 cubic yards 6.75 3,000 sq. ft. 405 cubic yards 10.5
Smart decision 👍 I don’t like the design too. Try to build something less “too modern”but solid. I mean more classic to fit the theme from your surroundings
It's a hundred+ year old, what I call a T-shaped farmhouse. They used to be everywhere. They are still a lot of them around if you can see through the additions. They were not usually built with indoor plumbing (at least around here), so the kitchens and bathrooms were later additions. We have one on some land that we own. It's kind of cool, but not worth putting money into it where it is located.
How old would that house have been? It's interesting to see such a large structure all made from wood; in the UK nearly all houses are brick. Do old ones get really loose and creaky?
Sure after 60 to 80 years if it's pier & beam. Houses built on a concrete foundation? They are pretty quiet. Homes can last year's and years provided it has a good roof and no termites 😁
Do you do any type of recycling? Where I live, you would not make barely any money out of this job, if you just dump everything in one dumpster, as unsorted construftion material is quite expensive to get rid of. We sort metal and untreated timber out, as you can sell both for money, plastic for recycling, "clean" concrete and bricks (cheaper to deposit) and an as small as possible pile of mixed trash with maybe even polluted materials.
First of all if you're going to make a habit of doing demolition get a fixed rotating demograpple. But when we were just getting started with our Kubota I got the smallest trenching bucket.I could and then put frost teath on it. You can be a surgeon with that set up and pick up any little thing you need to not to mention the thumb Just passes between the teeth like scissors. Lastly take time chewing up the material. We own our cans And we still break up the pieces as small as we can.Within reason and pack the can's tight. Fuel is to expensive and time is to precious for half loads.if those aren't your cans as a hauler we laugh all the way to the bank when guys half load cans and you take 4 instead of 2 or 3
American houses remind me of those old western movies where you have a crappy shack with a beautiful facade stuck to it street side :p Sneeze a bit hard and the foundations may shift lol But at least they are dirt cheap
Please tell us where you live with such wonderful housing that a 20,000 pound excavator wouldn't tear it to shreads ? My "American house" is 200 years old and still quite sturdy
Quand je vois ce genre de maison aussi facile à détruire avec une...pelleteuse...Je comprends pourquoi lorsque un ouragan frappe les etats unis, toutes les maisons s'envolent...
Why don't home owners work with the fire department and burn it down? Fire department gets practice with a real house and less for you to clean up? I'm sure I'm missing something.
The roof comes tumbling down…and then a lawyer and police show up - “you got the wrong house!”- you want 535 Green Lane, not 535 Green Crescent ! 😁
Why is such a lovely house being demolished
The house was not finished on the inside. Very likely it was abandoned and left that way for decades. Either way the owners want to rebuild.
Because you didn’t buy it. St.Paul,Minnesota.
The inside was gutted, It had structural and foundation damage. It was beyond repair to the owner. Thanks for watching.
Didn't see any insulation. Wonder if the metals were stripped out of it too. Plus looking at the homes around it, it looks like the area is getting some money around there
I was wondering the same question. Thanks for the anders guys.
That 080 is a nice machine.
I like the irate bumble bee sound of the speed up sound of the Kubota as it works. LOL
"Flight of the Bumble bees" anyone?🤣🤣🤣

I think you know your equipment! Enjoyed watching.
If he did he would use a smaller. Bucket to make up for the lack of power

Thanks, there's a Can-Am dealer over there. That's actually who owns the house as well.
Nice job , but whatever possessed you to purposely mix upmthe brick with the wood? Especially since itbwas already separated?
Thanks, We ended up pulling it out and sending it off with the concrete. At the time I was trying to keep the mess contained, but yes I should have put it off to the side.

knew u were from Delco. can’t mistake that accent 😂😂😂 i’m doing a job right outside of philly soon at a charter school
No wonder those houses fly away when a tornado strikes lol..
It looks a fun job to do.
No surprise there, I have taken down a wood frame building with a Bobcat 743, How much longer before they build a Mc Mansion?
Probably not too long. The owner is thinking about extending the storage lot but that depends on zoning.
What was that big red metal container at 1:23? I'm intrigued.
That was a heating oil tank, Thanks for watching
Just like those guys knocking down those really tall farm silo's with a sledge hammer....you just have to keep chipping away at the base with whatever you got. Little pieces. Like eating an elephant...1 bite at a time 😅
I want those red bricks!! 😢
Nice vid, Sean. How much do you charge for a job like this where you're at? Just machine time and customer pays for the containers or?...
Thank you, it was about 14k with the disposal. I gave them a quote for everything
@@srmcontracting Cool thanks
@@srmcontracting how much did disposal cost? Subbed
@@Rw-bt1izThank you, it was about 7k
Did you have to get the city permits or did the owner of the house do that already?@srmcontracting
So how much would this cost ? I have a house next to mine that im inheriting and need it down so i can use the land.
I just paid a grand for that stainless steel chimney liner lol
I’m about to tackle a house I just purchased like this is there anyway to keep the fire place? I’m planing on rebuilding and want to keep it.
It's doubtful, unless it's some large grand historic fireplace it's probably not worth trying to save. Thanks for watching!
That house looked fine why demolish it
probably someone wants to build from the ground up,
or could have been a meth house and the cost to do the repairs for the interior is high
Idk i'm pulling thoughts out of my ass.
How much do you charge for stuff like this?
I had demolished a wall with a hammer abd s crow bar and then to the 2x6 roof frames they wanted to keep the wood and I was taking em off in the weakest plywood ever used the trusses to stay up and take em off orher wise I'd be going through
What a shame, wasn't a bad looking house
😂
Covid-19 is deadly, no one will insure it, rent it or sell it , scary stuff
How do you determine how many dumpsters you need?
Here's a chart for rough estimates
House Size Amount of Debris # of 40-yard Dumpsters
1,000 sq. ft. 135 cubic yards 3.5
2,000 sq. ft. 270 cubic yards 6.75
3,000 sq. ft. 405 cubic yards 10.5
@ appreciate the reply fam. I needed that
It's another dry well.
Smart decision 👍 I don’t like the design too. Try to build something less “too modern”but solid. I mean more classic to fit the theme from your surroundings
what did you charge for that
About 25k
HOLY CRATES OF CAN-AM`S BATMAN ! .............. Look at them all piled up in the background ,,,,,,,, DAMNNNNNNN ! LOL ........
That is an odd house. Was it a business before becoming a residence? Or was it a multi family dwelling in a past life?
It was a single family home. There were definitely a few additions put on over the years.
It's a hundred+ year old, what I call a T-shaped farmhouse. They used to be everywhere. They are still a lot of them around if you can see through the additions. They were not usually built with indoor plumbing (at least around here), so the kitchens and bathrooms were later additions.
We have one on some land that we own. It's kind of cool, but not worth putting money into it where it is located.
Nice work brother.👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
Do you have video that's not sped up?
How old would that house have been? It's interesting to see such a large structure all made from wood; in the UK nearly all houses are brick. Do old ones get really loose and creaky?

MY HOUSE WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY HOUSE?!
Do you do any type of recycling?
Where I live, you would not make barely any money out of this job, if you just dump everything in one dumpster, as unsorted construftion material is quite expensive to get rid of.
We sort metal and untreated timber out, as you can sell both for money, plastic for recycling, "clean" concrete and bricks (cheaper to deposit) and an as small as possible pile of mixed trash with maybe even polluted materials.
Is that another covid-19 house? No insurance, cant rent or sell it ?
The house tearing down didn’t look that bad
What would this cost? Just curious.
$10 sq ft including removal/disposal and permit
👍👍👍
What size were dumpsters?
30 yards
First of all if you're going to make a habit of doing demolition get a fixed rotating demograpple.

But at least they are dirt cheap

@@mattywho8485 He's not wrong, most American homes are like 90% wood.
American houses?? Dirt cheap??!! Not these days.
ur not supposed to fill holes with concrete and brick it will never compact properly due to the void spaces
very wastefull way of taking the old construction apart.
"FBI open up!"
Что за дома, ломают как игрушечные но стоят безумных денег.

Sad to see good looking house

7 is my guess
Judging from home in the background, this house isn’t good enough for the neighborhood.
It will take 12 dumpster loads
That thing is a tonka toy
10 truck loads
Need to wear hard hats
6 1/2
wont the x wife be suprized
goofy ahh tractor
10mal die gleiche einstellung, so ein scheiss video!!!!
