Awesome job. There's so much more strategy involved in tearing down a house then I thought. You would have thought the neighbor could have moved the van over for just in case that side of the house went wrong but you done great and kept it in the footprint of the house👍
They might have moved it for me if I asked, but we were already inconveniencing them a little and I didn't want to ask for too much 😅 hindsight maybe I should have
That was probably vermiculite insulation. Vermiculite was a mineral that was mined. Much of the vermiculite found in old homes has been found to contain asbestos. So avoid breathing the dust created when disturbing it. In our state they require abatement prior to any work being done. The EPA website has a lot of information about vermiculite and how it got linked to asbestos.
Zach nice one day rental of you and your equipment around here we get 9 to a grand a day for machine and operator hopefully a little more for demolition jobs. More wear and tear on equipment
With the amount of dust, possible asbestos in an old building and no water spray, at least wear a mask if not a respirator. As you age, what you do today will catch up with you and your health. Cheers
@@scott5747 I can’t agree more. I wish we would have done this differently. Looking back I definitely would have. I had a client who died from mesothelioma. It’s a real thing and I don’t want it.
Excellent idea! I did check and it was tight. The real problem turned out to be the radiator plugging uo with dust. The radiator on that think is near 4 inches thick and stuff was just getting stuck way down inside. And I couldn't get to it with the blower on the job.
@marymulrooney1334 I've enjoyed all of your comments, Mary 😊 I have a small excavating business, and I do a little bit if tree climbing too. I started this channel when I had a full time tree service and my own crew. Since then I've backed down to just subcontractor work and re invested in excavating equipment. I have more experience in commercial excavating. I just couldn't afford the equipment for a long time. I coukd afford chainsaws though!
Come on falling through builds character 😂 😅.Good job as always buddy. Also I have noticed driving down here in summer time excavators operate with back hatch open bc they hold way too much hot air. Weird design flaw In my honest opinion
Yeahh, I wasn't loving it. I didn't want to just leave it open for fear of ripping it off. The real problem was the dust buildup in the radiator, I think. I wish they were easier to clean out.
@brandon-rustystreecare My skid steer has an auto reversing fan. I think deer excavators do too. Mayne I need to go that direction when it comes time to update the excavator 😅
@@zaccheus would be sweet. Hey question though how you get the bell and subscribe clip at the end of your video I see people doing it all the time and cant figure it out
@@zaccheus everything mate all internals out and separated all waste. I’m from England our Demo rules might be different from yourself across the pond buddy. But here we do a thing call soft strip, which involves all internals to be stripped out and waste separated. Once the building is back to a bare shell it gets knocked. We have timber skips, hardcore skips, metal skips and general waste. And when the building is down we do a thing called picking, which is on the pile picking the hardcore clean of any timber etc, the hardcore then goes into a crusher it’s then either sold or left for the client to use on the next project. Our Health and Safety would shut the site down if we where knocking the building with no dust suppression 😌
And we have a lot of asbestos in our old buildings so there has to be a full survey done by asbestos engineers before we start to identify where it may be and then a azzy team tents up, suits up and removed it
@kylemills3356 We have some regulations like that. A lot of it depends on the local governing bodies. If I were to do this one again I definitely wpukd have put a greater effort into getting dust suppression lined up prior to start. That was an oversight on my part for sure.
@billyword7428 I'd love to shut the door but it's not a sealed cab and the AC doesn't have a prayer of keeping up with the sun shining through the glass and the heat that the motor under the seat radiates into the cab. I probably should have worn some PPE though 😬

Looks like an easy, fun, profitable job
Well done, video production is getting better, the caution tape and safety squints are a bonus! Did the owner mention the age of the structure?
Thanks! I do believe he did.
awww you didn't say TIMBER when the chimney came down. LOL I know it's not actual timber but it would have been funny. LOL
Hahaha you're right! Missed opportunity 😂 I'll have to remember that for next time.
Awesome work sir!!! Keep it up!!
@redbeardtree1776 Thanks man!

@@stevewatr 😬 thanks for that info. I definitely won't allow myself to be put into this situation again.
Interesting to see ya doing this kind of work -- good stuff man
Thanks man!
Nice narration, helps to better understand what you are doing and why you are doing it. Nice ending .thanks for sharing.
@edbartelt4333 thanks for that feedback, I really appreciate it
That dog toy startled me as well
😅
How many loads?
@@herndondumptrucking oh man, I forget how many it was. Two days of hauling with a 20 minute one way ride.
Wow that was really cool man.
@dankotos61 thanks Dan!
A sprinkler working lightly keeps the dust down IF you don't have some one on a hose.
@@scotth5038 absolutely. I did this job hourly and the fella I was working for was responsible for dust suppression. I won’t make that mistake again 😬
Great video. Are you willing to do 1 hour phone consultations? If so, how much? I’m just getting into this line of work.
@@D.KJohnson-yz5ly where are you located?
Kentucky.
@ you might want to reach out to digginglife21. He is down that way and would be more familiar with the market near you I think.
What size is the mini
@@jaythrone1008 cat 305
Probably a 50 the, smallest you want to do the work
@ yep, cat 305 weighs in at 11,500lb. We did it, but an 8-15 ton machine would have been more appropriate.
Next time you do this rent a pump trailer and spray water on all that asbestos dust so you don’t die….
There wasn't any asbestos dust, no worries
Fiberglass isn't much better.
How much you banked from this job?
@@williamloppes3485 as much as the customer would pay
My my my, no wonder houses are always dusty. Dust makes me overheat too. So, I quit dusting. (LOL)
😂😂😂
Zach nice one day rental of you and your equipment around here we get 9 to a grand a day for machine and operator hopefully a little more for demolition jobs. More wear and tear on equipment
Wow, that's pretty good! Does that number include your hauling and dump expenses?
@@zaccheusAbsolutely not machine gets $500.00 operator $400.00 normal 8hr day
@robertvannicolo4435 ohhh, I misread your first comment and I thought you said nine grand 😂 I was trying to figure that out.
What did this house ever do to you?
😂 it looked at me funny.

Check the fan belt tension. If it’s too loose the machine will get hot

@@zaccheus makes sense. I have the same machine and those radiators can be tricky without a blower nozzle
@@midstatelandsolutionsllc1515 Absolutely I feel like I can never get it all the way clean either.
thank you
I just found you on TH-cam a few days ago, didn't know you did demolition also, I just saw you tree falling.

Looks fun until the dust particles find their way to your breathing passages.
Yeah, my lungs have a hard life between this and saw dust. I'm not a fan. In the future, I hope to get a machine with a sealed cab.
No dust suppression, soft strip on internals not complete
What would you have further stripped on the inside?

Good morning Wendy! I hope you have a wonderful day today!
Shut the cab door ! Or wear a respirator 😊
@billyword7428 I'd love to shut the door but it's not a sealed cab and the AC doesn't have a prayer of keeping up with the sun shining through the glass and the heat that the motor under the seat radiates into the cab. I probably should have worn some PPE though 😬
