I'm about to demo a house that is beyond repair from termites, water damage, and mold. I will be using a track hoe with a thumb, placing materials into 40 yard roll off dumpsters as I go. I'm figuring $3000 to $3500 total cost.
I had fell into a septic tank while demolishing a mobile home. My mistake was assuming the hole in the front yard about 4x9 feet was the old septic tank. I thought someone had already taken care of it prior to my agreement to demo the structure. When I went around back my left track fell through the tank lid and the contents spewed up all around but I did not get any on me but the machine sure got it good.
So curious as to when that house was built and when it was last lived in. Probably never know. I’ve seen houses like this off the highway taken back by nature so much demolition is practically unnecessary.
I know this may be a daft question but , if you are going to have a burning pile, why not just start a fire in the center of the house and let it do all the work for you . You just tidy up whats left . Merry christmas , stay well stay safe.
How sad. If this house could talk. I wonder what stories it could tell about the families that have lived there.The birth of the home and it's death.The first wife to walk into it, And the first baby to come home to it.
Like killing a mosquito with a shot gun!!! When he first started the demolition he was right over the septic system; I was waiting for him to fall down into the septic tank!!
Spending to much time trying to get the Roofing Tin than knocking the house in, I have seen much Better jobs, but then again he didn’t have a Thumb on his..
I wonder how much it would cost to repair the damage to this house ? General Patton was remembered during a "tank" display, after driving into a house disappeared. minuteslater emerged and said : "Nobody said there was a basement".
There are lots of reasons to build a new house and tear down the old one. The layout in old houses are boxy. Often times they have additions added all over the place and not often well done. The bathrooms are small, usually there is only one. They have no insulation and no central air and heat, drafty and expensive to heat and cool. They could have toxic building materials. They leak. Often they have termite damage and rot. The kitchens are cut off and the laundry is just stuck in some random place. So once you have the new house or your going to build one. You cant let the old one just sit there. They grow up and get snakey and animals move in. Also kids like to play in old buildings so its dangerous. Its better to just knock it down if you have no plans to use the building. Unless its historical, get rid of it.
That was so satisfying for some reason.
Wow still stood up towards the end like a champ.
Demolition of old homes make me so sad. All those memories were made there.
SandyzSerious me too.
First thing I thought of too.
No problem. There will be more memories in the new house.
what if the memories were bad?
I see this all the time where I live. Lovely old house demolished and replaced by graceless garbage. Or they just drag a mobile home onto the site.
My grandmother's house I had to have it towed on also to keep the squatters out
Good!
I would have already been finish 😆 🤣 what he waiting on
This video hurt me!!! He destroyed an exact copy of the laz-e- boy recliner I'm sitting in while watching!

I can't believe you let that stove and two chairs go down with the house.
+Randy Kolb I know, it hurt me.
and lamp
@@mkriglet Rookie 👋👋👋
I hope the place wasn't full of bedbugs!
Even though this video is six years old, I wonder if the owners ever rebuilt on the property
Love your channel.
+SandyzSerious Thank You

It would have probably been easier to dismantle that house by hand ... at least there won't be a mess to clean up!
I thought the house is made out of wood? But its cardboard?""
Thank you, I love watching a good demolition. xxx

What did they do with the land?

I thought the same thing. It wasn't my house. I just filmed it. Thanks for watching.
In most states it's illegal to burn while standing but ole boy on excavator didn't waste much thts for sure
So sad

All those parts from the demolished house now have to go in a shredder.
That house looked in good condition still , I live in a piece of crap house with my dad ..fkn divorce fkd my life up I wish I had a house
Poor choices cost a lot.
@@mwdca7810 wrong way to look at divorce
A shame the operator didn't dig up the flooring of the house as well. Otherwise, he did a decent job.
Karen Huston & Michael Shurts House Demolition

A JCB to knock that down ? A box of matches and oily rag would have done it and less mess
That ain't a JCB it's a John deere

Good Jon tho check out icetime construction
Needed a thumb. And a few tips from Chris LD18
If you can't keep the debris inside the foot print, your not a demo operator!
