  • Tearing down a burnt house. This house caught fire a few months ago, it was a total loss and the owners wanted it down to start construction on their new home. I didn't tear out the concrete because they plan to build the same style of house back on the foundation. It took two days to tear down and load out in trucks. It was 28 loads in 3 dump trucks to get it hauled off. Thanks for watching! #EliteEarthworks #Takeuchi #housedemo

    Simple little house tear down. Oh, don't hit the two sewer cleanouts, don't hit the water supply line, stay off the concrete, don't cave in any of the berm wall and don't let a little blown insulation bother you. I think a second round of burning would have probably helped you. The berm house style always looks like the house got swallowed up into the earth. Strange. It looks like a cool beverage after work project. You made the best of it. Great job, as always.

    I grew up in and have now inherited a house similar to that. Great for temperature regulation, storm resistance and so quiet. Just have to keep humidity in check here in north carolina. The design must have been featured in Popular Mechanics or Mother Earth News back in the 60s. I'm too lazy to research that right now, but I think that is where the idea came to Dad. I'll have to ask his little brother who is still with us.

    I've seen earth homes but this is the first berm home I've seen. Kind of different, to say it nicely. The front looks normal but the back is........well, the back. Good point about the Letsdig18 method. You and the 2150 handled the demolition nicely.

    You did a good job on that cleanup!
    I built a house like that (about the same size) in 1982, my next to last home I built before going into heavy construction. The south side was glass and the other 3 sides were bermed up with dirt, almost identical as this house. The owners said their utilities were really cheap. It's still being lived in today.
    It was a fast 6 week build, no bracing required. A concrete floor, 3 walls of concrete, wood interior framing with regular cabinets, carpets, doors and windows, just like a normal home.
    I'll go away now and quit 'tootin' my own horn...lol.

      That’s cool! I figured the utilities would be pretty low. Pretty much like having a full basement 65 degrees year round. Thanks again for watching

    Fun! Looking good as usual.
    There is a house like that that I pass on the way to the farm. It's perpendicular to the road so there is a clear view of it. One floor and dirt on three sides. I think that they are a poor man's answer to the full earth contact homes of the 1970's.

    Every summer we have a couple new dumpster companies jump into the business. They always under cut all the competition trying to get established. Most never last more than a few years tops. One company several years ago were into their second year and closed the doors. I knew of a handful of people that had dumpsters on their property/jobs and were stuck with them sitting there for well over a year. While the bankruptcy courts figured things out. Could you imagine having a brand new home that came with a permanent dumpster for the front yard!🤣 They were scattered all over 3 counties!
    Have a great and safe 4th of July,Elite n Fam!🇺🇸🇺🇸

    When you first drug that mattress out, I was hoping you would save it to clean the floor with. I used one once to dress up dirt after I took some trees out in a backyard. It worked surprisingly well on dirt.
    Ya did good brother, stay cool when you can.

    • @eliteearthworksllc
      @eliteearthworksllc  2 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Yeah the mattress is fantastic for cleaning up debris on concrete or even yards. Sifts everything out and leaves the grass

    These videos are always special. Experieince it's what it's all about and we liked your thinking about "slow & steady" being the best way to do this, plus you were very careful working around the house so that worked out nicely. The pile really compacted up better than I thought it would, too, and we always get a kick out of using the old mattresses as a "mop". You should have video'd when you blew it out - I;m sure you were in a big cloud, LOL. Glad you got that interior pic of "before" - the fire really destroyed the place. Did they say what caused the fire? Electrical malfunction? Have a happy 4th, Brandon.

      Yeah I use to have a different outlook on it and it was a huge mess to clean up so now I take a little more time. lol the mattress works so well 😁 oh yeah you couldn’t see anything when I blew the basement out. I’m sure the neighbors were pissed. I believe it was an electrical fire she said. Luckily no one was home or hurt. Thank you! You guys have a great 4th Of July too!
