Think about all the memories made at the Dolphin over the years. The one thing I have found in life, nothing ever stays the same. In many reveries, the Dolphin will live on and slip into thoughts every once in a while. I think of a young bride in the late 60s, or a little boy seeing the ocean for the first time. Yes, this has been about destruction, soon the new will cover the old.
Very tough to watch this one, my late wife and I spent 2 vacations there. It was a great little place to stay. Conveniently located in FMB.. Keep up the Good Work on videos. Very interesting and informative to people who have never been involved with something like this..
Great aerial views. Different sights of the demolition, you don't realize what really goes on from ground level. Colt is a true master one of a kind ... You are lucky to have him.
Great job. Professional. Good content delivery. Amazingly sad and sentimental for me but your delivery of the decision making was practical and informative.
My Father and Grandma live around where youre doing the work, he talks about how downhill FM has gotten and that new life needs to be breathed into it. You're speeding along that process so fingers crossed we get a revitalization going on there.
Great video.. I'm in the business. Actually we are the biggest demo company in Virginia and soon north Carolina fingers crossed..😂.. question how is it ya'll can do this job with no silt fencing anywhere..? There is even debris floating in the water. Not trying to be that comment guy but I'm totally clueless..
They are being lax on that because the silt fencing is unsightly and people leave it up forever. However most jobs we do have the fencing. Any advice what would you like to see more of? What is the name of your company and do you do selective demo as well?
Question: This is requiring a total guess on your part, but based on what you’ve seen….if FMB structures had all been constructed to current code requirements, how much less damage would there have been from Ian? Thank you
I'm an american living in the Philippines, they have approxamantly 5 to 6 typhoons a year . Last week we had one in Manila and north. I built a concrete house it's cheaper than wood here .good holding against typhoons . ? Where your at are they working on changes on building there. Concrete holds up well.
The concrete recycling plant would have a conniption fit if they saw the size of that concrete. We’d get a bill for making the pieces smaller or get the load rejected
@@removeitprosdemolition oh ok. I figured they had rebar in them. Even asphalt if it’s too big the complain. See we get to dump asphalt and concrete for free but if it’s too big or bricks mixed in they get mad. Since we buy so much mix from them they don’t charge us but they will complain since they don’t wanna break it up since we are dumping for free.
@@removeitprosdemolition my house was ok. Had to get new shingles. My whole neighborhood was under water except for the house all the house were their own little island but the road was up to the mailboxes
Living in Lee, I have been amazed at how many places here and there are still ... up. But as you mentioned there seems to be some real stupidity in insurance companies sometimes, for some reason. Like in this case, as stated on the older video .. this building was structurally damaged to the point it was splitting in two. There was no way to fix or repair it. Yet the insurance company (I've heard and read) kept fighting that determination trying to find a way to pay out less. I really do not understand how some companies can be so (in my view) evil about things.
@@elkerwin That seems super cheap, years ago I was looking at buying a 2.000 square foot ranch house and I was quoted about $20,000 to $30,000 to tear it down and that's just a regular house, stick frame with siding. Unless that building is smaller than it looks that's a great price.
Is it safe to have that guy walking around in a gray tee shirt with no high vis or hardhat while heavy machinery operates around him? Just to pickup a little metal? Why not put him in a skid steer or something!
Damn... I know this wasn't the intention at all, but I live in Fort Myers, and the sad part is that all of these buildings were local businesses that had been there for decades. After hurricane Ian, the insurance premiums increased so much (like seriously.. look it up) that it became unaffordable for anyone to rebuild and expect to turn a profit. Now, the only people who can afford to build (and they are...Aggressively) are these massive shitty corporations like "Margaritaville" that have no soul and buy up all the beachfront so they can plop down these giant reclining chairs and umbrellas for their MASSIVE pasty patrons to leave our beautiful town just as reflective as they arrived.
No utilities, no traffic, no pedestrian traffic, no unmarked utilities, no live gas mains, no live water mains, no employees in the way. I’ll give credit to the guys that dig in the cities (me)
Seriously I think Colton has the best job ever. Zero stress and if you are stressed, you can go demolish something.
Ain't that the truth?It's, uh, it's fun.

bri has one the nicest looking dump trucks ive ever seen, i remember when she used to live in the bunkers also
😇
"Unscrew" an excavator? I like that 😂
Yeah it doesn't work that way

Thanks for letting me know that. Its encouraging!!
Any advice?
I drove by a few times while the buildings were being torn down, cool to see the project on video.
Thanks for watching hopefully you subscribed
Enjoyed it, Dave! Dig the sign, too!
Thank for watching and for the good vibes!!
5ft down and struck water. lol Love Florida- I always wanted to operate a backhoe. One day, it's on my bucket list for sure. Amazing job guys!
Sometimes, it's three feet. Florida is a big sandbar.....lol
I watch all of your videos, and a great bonus is seeing the island
Thanks for the watching. Any advice what would you like to see more of?
What a great demo team. The excavator operator, Colton, is an expert with that device.. it’s like an extension of his arm.
Thanks for saying so, and thanks for watching
What a fantastic job. Well done.
Thanks for being a part of the community.
Have been subscribed since you had about 5,000. Good to see the channel growth. Still my favorite are the tear downs with the great music!
I'll keep that in mind.Thanks for being part of the community
Very interesting to watch h and see the process from someone who has no idea about this line of work. Very informative and entertaining
Thanks for the watch please subscribe
I must say living in fort Myers it’s so much fun and so interesting watching this stuff.
I love it here originally from Cincinnati mostly sunny rarely cold. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for your service
Appreciate that.
Love watching these videos 😊
Thanks for watching hopefully you subscribed
Awesome crew!!
Yes they are thanks for watching
Great job. Professional. Good content delivery. Amazingly sad and sentimental for me but your delivery of the decision making was practical and informative.
I appreciate that! Thanks for the complement.
Hello, I should have also said I really enjoy your videos and I did subscribe. Thanks again
Thanks for the sub!
Fascinating. 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for watching
You did well Dave….bob ❤😮
Thanks for watching
Hope you will record demo of Strandview. My 92 year old Dad would like to watch it. He spent winters there for many years.
We are filming that will have WINK news out there tomorrow for a walkthrough.
My Father and Grandma live around where youre doing the work, he talks about how downhill FM has gotten and that new life needs to be breathed into it. You're speeding along that process so fingers crossed we get a revitalization going on there.
Its going to take a long time, its looks bad compared to what it was.

from Ian? Thank you
Significantly less. The current way to build these houses is very effective.
Great job
Thank you for watching.Thanks for being part of the community
Outstanding video!!!
Thank you for being part of the community
i remember the last one i watched on this was the city made you stop taking windows and stuff out i'm guessing everything was finally sorted
Yes it was. Just makes things take longer.
I'll bet in two more years we'll never know Ian was here🙂
Might be longer than that for the large construction.
In a weird way, this is the closure I needed - these recent videos. Any idea how 6051 Estero faired?
Yes they are working on that building daily. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great work! How much are they going to list that lot for?
I heard 4.75 million
Nice job. Nothing like free advertising. Our company would get it now and then.
Are you talking about WINK news? Any advice what would you like to see more of?
As for the strandview are you gonna use explosive demolition to take the building down I know you're gutting it so it'll just be a concrete carcass?
No just a really tall excavator. Any advice what would you like to see more of?
I'm going to go to the thrift store when I come down in September
Awesome see you there maybe.
shes got a all natural dumptruck know customization on her dump truck
😎
How long did it take to clear out the windows etc.? News about good work travels fast.
About one week total.
I hope you pay that operator really well. That's an experienct man.😅😅😅
He is well paid.
Colton is awesome at what it do🎉🎉
Yes I think so too!!
Dalton is great

Its mostly all concrete, with strapping wood works fine.
What is the difference between a typhoon and a hurricane?
The only time the top of an excavtor can pop off is if you spin around fast and add mentos and cola to the slew bearing
Funny!! lol
The concrete recycling plant would have a conniption fit if they saw the size of that concrete. We’d get a bill for making the pieces smaller or get the load rejected
Interesting point. Those are floor panels that's lightweight concrete.If you pick 'em up and drop them, they shatter like glass.
Normally a breaker will take care of any pile towards the end of the job.

Escavotors aren’t screwed on so they can’t unscrew

I hear you loud and clear thanks for watching.
Cool vid, but I would minimize flying that drone in circles over the site, it makes me dizzy!
Noted!
Fact check an Excavator can not become unscrewed they can turn for ever one way and not come unhitched.
True that
15 turns and it unscrews the excavator from the base.
Is that right?
You guys are messy demo guys lol.
Is that right?
Capio should have a hard hat. Just saying.
NOTED
Y’all need a magnet
For what? Thanks for watching.
I'm sorry i didn't hear it very well, it's colton,colton is very good
It's okay
Atleast 7 spins and then it pops off. I don’t make the rules.
On the excavator? Any advice what would you like to see more of?
Don’t know whether it can un-screw but you did spell “ false “ false 😂
🙃
Darn that extra u in false. There's so many elements when putting together these videos. Guess I missed that one. lol...
The over head spin moves of the drone are done too quick in the video edit….spend more time focusing on the actual work being performed
Got it
im gonna build coast 2 coast insurance in atlanta and phoenix, prime real estate regions
Build houses, hotels.What are you going to build
Jesus, what does a job like that cost, $500,000?, a million?
He says - $100-150,000.

Not nearly that much. Any advice what would you like to see more of?
@@removeitprosdemolition Everything is cool, you just need to post more. LOL
unscrew lol
yeah they don't work that way.
Get some hi Vis on?

and her curves,geesh itll make your eyes roll in the back of your head

all out insurance

He runs it when it's on site. Mostly he is spraying water.

Why do all the people in Florida dress like they're going to a Greased Pig Contest?
Its a thing......
So the city takes away a persons business because they don’t think it’s upscale enough for the neighborhood? How dare they.
Hum?
You talk all through the video. Bad move. The other demo shows avoid that. Thus I'm not subscribing.
🙃
Figures somebody from Sweden would say that.
Please disregard this person's comment. Your narrative is probably the single most important aspect of the content.
@@jimmirow lol..I do...
Will not unscrew. The center is where the hydraulics come through for the track motors.

No road plates to drive down in the trench, no trench boxes to set, etc. site work is easy
Yea I hear what you're saying.
Yeah, it's a different style of work.The demo is easier in a lot of ways.
