Habitat House Demo

House demo for a soon to be built Habitat for Humanity home. This house had been gutted by a fire so we finished it off and cleared out the rest of the lot. A shed, lots of concrete and numerous trees were also removed to prepare this lot. She’s good to go! Oh, don’t worry that broken up sidewalk will be removed and replaced, just not yet!

I enjoyed the video and watching you work. But…
Some young family will move into the new Habitat House (I’ve proudly helped build a few) but there will be no tree for the kids to climb in because they were all removed. That is a shame. I helped with a Habitat house here that had a huge oak tree they kept in the front yard - didn’t impede any of the building at all. It loomed great…and those kids had a tree to climb and explore!

Thanks, I understand, but like most jobs it's not my call. I'm just satisfying the customer. These trees were all ab elm species that is very brittle and they all were pretty ragged from previous ice and wind storms.

@@SteveLawrenceExcavating I got ya. They did look plies they were very brittle.
None the less, you did an excellent job!

What is the average weight of the full rolloff container's after you filled them?

[@SteveLawrenceExcavating]

It varies quite a bit. The first few dumpster are a little lighter because the pieces are usually larger which makes the load less dense. By the end things are pulverized more which makes those usually more dense and heavier. Usually I can get 7 to 10 ton in a 40 yd of standard wood debris.

how do you find work for demo old houses and buildings?

[@SteveLawrenceExcavating]

We advertise a little, mainly just to keep our name out there but most work comes from word of mouth referrals. We have been in our market for many years so lots of people know of us.
