All 3 are good, Tim's "street" view probably is the clearest, but my choice is "in the cab" where we can here you talking. It was also cool to get multiple angles of your BOO-BOO hitting the roof :) What separates you from other similar video creators is your narration and commentary. (More is better) I too run equipment and find watching you kinda therapeutic.Fancy cameras and drones anyone can use, but your videos are made entertaining by you being yourself, not acting. Stick to your guns and make videos the way you want. And keep up the "talking", nothing worse than crappy music covering up the machine sounds and crunching of wood.
It would be cool if you made an "oopsie" video, but my guess is that it would be very short. I've only seen a couple since the beginning. Unless your hiding them from us. @@letsdig18
Agreed. The commentary is part of what keeps me coming back to watch the videos! I did have a chuckle at the "oops" a very short time after the comment on keeping it tidy. Keep doing what you do!
This is absolutly the same thing I would have sayd. All vids are good, but the in cab has your commets and the vid wouldn't be the same without them.Keep going as you have done and like MrDugbo171 sayd., no crappy musik to cover any machine sound. If we would like to hear musik we would go to some one else chanel :-)
Waiting for the power company? That's crazy talk! I didn't see the Raccoon until Tim mentioned it. Chris, Tim needs a raise! Camera man, reporter, heavy equipment operator...
Mr. Dig, I am looking to rent one of these excavators to clear some property. I had been unsure how these things would be at clearing trees. After watching you gracefully destroy everything, from houses to trees, I'm sold! Thanks for the sweet videos!
The critter from yesterday made his final escape to day @14:10 or so lower left.....scrambling for his, or her, life! Nice cozy house all to itself....gone. A sad day for Rocky, and friends...lol. That's got to be really satisfying, tearing into a house like that. Demo is a great way to vent! Thanks for the videos.
So much wood in American houses, and not to much bricks, termites have been eating all the wood , nice job again Chris, Merry Christmas and a happy new year Chris ! 🎄🎍🎋🌲👍
I love watching your videos from any angle but the commentary is the best. I also feel that you are having "TOO MUCH FUN" when you demolish a building.
Would have been so much better with a wrecking ball, lol. But one heck of a mess. Nice work. Always a pleasure watching you work, although I fast forward a bit. Can be a bit redundant. But thanks for sharing. Love your methodology in your ways to accomplish the task most efficiently.
Chris sitting here on a friday night with my son in law Anthony who is an operator with us. Having a few beers watching your videos. Great time. Better then tv for sure
Chris.....never a dull moment in your videos EVER but,watching the same part of the same house be demolished 4 separate times?....THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME!!!!
@@keithbrettell2058 Tim cam started at about 12:04 until the cam is mounted on the excavator. It was him holding the cam. He does a great job of it. He's done it in few of the videos.
In the cab also, really is best! have you thought about placing a cam on the arm, encasing it in a thick plexi type case way above the bucket? Just an idea...Really like the Rowdy Racoon fun Run.
My vote goes to the camera mounted on the outside of your excavator. You could overlay the audio from your in-cab commentary for the best of both worlds. AWESOME video! Thanks for sharing it!
All three but if I have to pick one it's inside the cab. I like to learn about what you're doing and why. But sometimes the other angles are good too. Thanks for the video!
there is no power hooked up to that meter socket, there were no wires running down weather head and mast pipe. had there been power boom would have lit up like a Christmas tree at least until transformer kicked. Easy test use a multi-meter check in coming power on main side of main fuse. I agree with most in cab view with commentary is my favorite also. Keep up the fine work letsdig18!
couple of things about these old houses....if the electric is still on, cut the clip and pull (literally) the meter out of it's spot....only the incoming lines will still be hot. Also, when it is as old as this, no matter if it has been extensively remodeled and sheetrocked, there will still be buried old lath and plaster....and it almost always has asbestos in the plaster. (made it smoother, don't ya know...or whatever) Speaking of the white devil dust, probably any furnace, hot water heater vent etc. will contribute to your late stage cough....I did notice the fireplace had no liner, which is really fun when cracks or joints in the brick open up. (that is how my aunt's house burned down) Isn't construction fun?
One thing about this project, you do not have to take care of any asbestos .Here in Australia nearly every old building is full of the deadly crap .I had a new roof put on my Workshop after a hail storm destroyed the asbestos roofing >it took two years (!! ) for the insurance company to accept the quotes to remove all of the asbestos roofing .
Hi again from the UK. The camera view I prefer is from 23.17 outside the unit, as its unobstructed with better depth of field. Down side is you would need to do a voice over or have a mic inside the cab. Love the videos no matter what you do. Great work.
I'm left wondering if as a kid you used to run along the beach kicking sandcastles down. You seem to be having so much fun doing this demolition .. LOL. Excellent finesse with the bucket and a clear demonstration of the power you have at your fingertips. 🚜 🚧
It would appear that the local Electrical Company works on their selective schedule, which is, we will get to the problem or the clients request when and if we decide to. Tim's camera view is much better to watch, inasmuch as it shows a wider field of view, but the excavator in-cab camera gives a more closeup detailed view, so together with the excavator's roof camera, they all serve to make a very interesting video.
Smaller house, bigger excavator. What's next, the 250 taking down a garden shed? Or the new minni taking down a Walmart? Lol Just bustin on ya Chris. Love the videos!
I hit the wrong button and posted before I got done, bout the time ye hit the stoop and knocked it across the yard. With that view ye can contemplate yer next move while listening to the hum of the engine’s drone. Now I’m done. Thanks
Best is outside the cab and off the machine on a tri-pod is second. I like both for different reasons. Inside the cab gives a tunnel vision kinda thing.
Idkw but for some reason that machine makes me think of a dinosaur I guess because it’s just this huge beast of a machine that destroys anything that gets in its way
Here in Belgium all houses are made of brick & concrete. Inside walls and outside walls, ceilings/floors. We do not have wood in the house construction, except for flooring & furniture. Only sometimes drywall is used. (houses are expensive here)
I've only had the opportunity to knock down 1 house and it was with an older 235 with no thumb but I didnt have to load it out, yah it was fun and it was a sure stress relieving task, can only imagine the fun to be had in a more modern machine with a sexy thumb LOL
1- Cab cam. 2- Tim cam. 3- Boom cam. Seems like they all could have their uses for great shots. If you could send your commentary to the outdoor cams in realtime that would be cool. They got a wireless mic for that?
Bet the wiring in that place was still the old knob and tube style. Just remodeled a house that was till knob and tube. Loads of fun taking that shit out and re wiring it.
FYI, next time you tear down a building, have Tim man a water hose to keep down the dust which is a requirement on most demo jobs. Asbestos, silica, and fiberglass dust are worse on your lungs than smoking. Also take caution when burning pine cause it is very toxic to breathe.
Hey Chris, Looks like you pissed off the occupant. At the time stamp around 2:43 there is either a really big rat or a ground hog that can be seen running out of the front of the house on the left!!
Close the door and put your A/C on recirculate.A Water mister can help in these applications.We like All the views,but I like your commentary during operations.
At least the roof you hit was on a house you were tearing down! Try hitting a new construction home! Lol! I like all 3 camera angles I say just keep mixing them up 👍🏻
Man I no I have gave u a couple crap comments messin with ya but man u one hell of an operator and if u ever went somewhere else your uncle would be in a mess
Hey their @letsdig18 would that be the house that got flooded ah month or so ago? That you know of.?? And camera number #1 in the cap, so we'll listen to you talk about upcoming job sites, a some other stuff also a's in b,s which is funny to listen, at least to me it is..lol and camera number #2 on the hood so we hear the sounds of stuff breaking a ah touch sound of the machine in the background. So good work a's always mister chris👍
Good vid as always sir. I'm curious what the hour meters are showing in your machines. Your bucket pins are getting a bit lose or it's just the thumb moving it's hard to tell on video. But the way those machines put out the work I'd expect some wollerd and stretched pins.
Nice job sir. I always like demo jobs well.... most of the time anyway. How many loads u figure 20 or more. We run tandems so not sure whst ur quads carry
I love your videos, I have never tried to run any large equipment, I am amazed at how fierce they can be an how gentle they can be. I have a question about the power (force) of that bucket when you are pushing or pulling material, also that thumb it crunches wood like they are toothpicks how much pressure does it apply ? Thanks again for the great videos.
totally saw the raccoon, but couldn't believe that they hadn't got the cat outta the house... makes sense now but geez, how long had the demo been going at that point
Is it part of your gig to remove the debris from the site? In other words are you going to supply a truck and load up & haul away the debris? I appreciate you have to/want to separate the brick from the wood. Would you gain any efficiency getting the haul-away truck (presumably a dump truck) and chew off the second story & roof and load it right into the truck? Seems to me you could probably get a good dumptruck load from the 2nd story & roof and whatever you can grab from the ground floor. You haven't touched any brickwork yet. Next you go after the ground floor and you have the irritating wood/brick separation exercise. But there's only half as much wood involved.
Thumbs up for Timmy's play by play on the wildlife. When a man says "Sorry Boss." to a fleeing racoon, well...that's a good person right there.
Trash panda can be seen 14:17 in the vid . I would have missed it Thanks Tim
Don't forget the first one at 2.40 or round about.
@@alfadoofus There was one yesterday too, up stairs near what looked to be a bath tub...
I saw him at 4:17 before I read the comments! LOL!
In cab.. then we can listen to you while we watch.. the commentary is priceless!
He could be fancy and cut between all 3 with the audio running over the top, but i like this format anyway just running all 3 in order.
wow, love sitting in that cab watching the machine work

Agree 100%. the difference is like just watching the activity, compared to spending time with a friend at his work, showing you how its done..
Waiting for the power company? That's crazy talk!
I didn't see the Raccoon until Tim mentioned it. Chris, Tim needs a raise! Camera man, reporter, heavy equipment operator...
Mr. Dig, I am looking to rent one of these excavators to clear some property. I had been unsure how these things would be at clearing trees. After watching you gracefully destroy everything, from houses to trees, I'm sold! Thanks for the sweet videos!
Ohhh billy, I'm a big fan Dan. So you should reply back and say "hey" ya know, for the raaaahhhheallllll boysssss
#dickheadnation
Do It With Dan never thought I’d see you in the comments of a letsdig18 video lol
I like the in the cab views, unless there is glare. And, that's not often. I was glad Tim pointed out the raccoons leaving the building.
The critter from yesterday made his final escape to day @14:10 or so lower left.....scrambling for his, or her, life! Nice cozy house all to itself....gone. A sad day for Rocky, and friends...lol.

Evicting the "residents" just before Christmas. You're a mean one Mr Grinch!
Here's how I rank the camera angles:
1. Cab cam because I enjoy your commentary.
2. Tim cam.
3. Cam mounted outside the machine.
Agree mate nothing beets a bit a gossip
I would add the reason Tim cam is #2 is also commentary.
Where was the Tim-Cam? I've apparently completely missed it.
@@keithbrettell2058 Tim cam started at about 12:04 until the cam is mounted on the excavator. It was him holding the cam. He does a great job of it. He's done it in few of the videos.
I did see that but I didn't realize it was him, thanks. @@george8873
Oh hell dude wrong house you was supposed to be on the next block over and the raccoon is getting a weasel lawyer for unlawful eviction
Tim is like the multi-tool, you get from snap on lol does EVERYTHING a all in one. Another great video as always
In the cab also, really is best! have you thought about placing a cam on the arm, encasing it in a thick plexi type case way above the bucket? Just an idea...Really like the Rowdy Racoon fun Run.
ROFL! That ole ring tail was running for his life when he saw Chris and that Volvo coming in.
Thats for sure! He heard the knock, knock but didnt stick around to say whos there! Lol
My vote goes to the camera mounted on the outside of your excavator. You could overlay the audio from your in-cab commentary for the best of both worlds. AWESOME video! Thanks for sharing it!
The 3 different cameras was great. Those raccoons hauled ass out of there. Keep up the great work Chris and Tim.
All three but if I have to pick one it's inside the cab. I like to learn about what you're doing and why. But sometimes the other angles are good too. Thanks for the video!

Don't let Tim watch any logger Wade videos he'll be asking for royalties next just like Stevie😂😂😂 a operator and a camera man awesome video
Tim can have the royalties as long as Chris doesn't start yelling TIMMY all the time.
Love the cam in the cab and Tim to and on cab too .
2:44 just to the left of the brick post.."Run Forest, Run!"
TheHOOfan1
Running late....
any camera view works we are just happy to see this. i like the talk in the cab but i also like the last one
Look at that lovely snow and that trash panda made the demo even better.
couple of things about these old houses....if the electric is still on, cut the clip and pull (literally) the meter out of it's spot....only the incoming lines will still be hot.

The in cab with commentary is most always the best but some occasional outside shots to see distances and elevations are helpful.
Yea I saw that raccoon running lol 😂 big one too
Late on parade but Tim's view :-)
Thank you for the hundreds of uploads i've watched but rarely commented .
Hi again from the UK. The camera view I prefer is from 23.17 outside the unit, as its unobstructed with better depth of field. Down side is you would need to do a voice over or have a mic inside the cab. Love the videos no matter what you do. Great work.
They way you push the wood in and down remins me of "Poltergeist" back in the 80's when the house was sucked thru the hole by the ghosts....
I'm left wondering if as a kid you used to run along the beach kicking sandcastles down. You seem to be having so much fun doing this demolition .. LOL. Excellent finesse with the bucket and a clear demonstration of the power you have at your fingertips. 🚜 🚧

I see where you are going with this, Chad 😂 But am I the only one that hasn't seen the 250 for ages? Does anyone know where it's at?
Thank you for closing the cab door, I was starting to cough.
All 3 are great bro but do like your in cab commentary but be happy with either one if only one was put up. The wildlife evacuation was priceless.
Getting that copper pipe and then hitting the roof really had me lmao that was to funny
That would've been a good training house for local fire dept.
The house is too old. They won’t over lead and Asbestos concerns
Wow that house just pulverized
Third view. It’s most like what ye see from the seat. But I’m a prejudiced old retired operator.
I hit the wrong button and posted before I got done, bout the time ye hit the stoop and knocked it across the yard. With that view ye can contemplate yer next move while listening to the hum of the engine’s drone. Now I’m done. Thanks
Best is outside the cab and off the machine on a tri-pod is second. I like both for different reasons. Inside the cab gives a tunnel vision kinda thing.
No insulation and no plywood = great smashing job
there is something satisfying in the crunching sound
i love it
I agree.
Exactly the same when handing trees and brush ,the tree huggers would be mortified but it's just as you say satisfying.
yesss. i love when they are long videos 👏🏻👏🏻👌
That racoon didn't waist any time getting out of there. As far as which cam view I prefer the in cab view it's nice to listen to your comments.
Idkw but for some reason that machine makes me think of a dinosaur I guess because it’s just this huge beast of a machine that destroys anything that gets in its way
I liked the third camera angle
Oh man. I felt for you went you tried to save the copper pipe. Then that roof piece decided it was time to play!
No raccoons were harmed in the making of this video.. (hopefully) lolz
Here in Belgium all houses are made of brick & concrete. Inside walls and outside walls, ceilings/floors. We do not have wood in the house construction, except for flooring & furniture.
Only sometimes drywall is used. (houses are expensive here)
That house is wired back in the dang 60's or 70's era i'd say to have those type fuses in it
Too many angles of filming for my taste. Doesn't change the outcome of the task, just creates more editing time. Just say'n.
Nice catch on the chimney fall also.
I've only had the opportunity to knock down 1 house and it was with an older 235 with no thumb but I didnt have to load it out, yah it was fun and it was a sure stress relieving task, can only imagine the fun to be had in a more modern machine with a sexy thumb LOL

the commenteary from you and Tim is the best
I would like to see what that huge bucket and thumb could do to a Volkswagen beetle now that would be interesting
this is my dream job this guy has such good videos
Bet the wiring in that place was still the old knob and tube style. Just remodeled a house that was till knob and tube. Loads of fun taking that shit out and re wiring it.
FYI, next time you tear down a building, have Tim man a water hose to keep down the dust which is a requirement on most demo jobs. Asbestos, silica, and fiberglass dust are worse on your lungs than smoking. Also take caution when burning pine cause it is very toxic to breathe.
I am sure the raccoon was thinking Armageddon.
I almost asked why they didn't repair, but I could see the damage clearly as you peeled the brick away ;)
Letsdig: I liked the view from OUTSIDE the cab.It shows what your're doing, and there are NO reflections messing up the view.
In cab is my pick, different angles are good sometimes, just not repeating the same thing.
Great 👍 work Tim, you should have called it a nature blog instead of a home 🏡 demolition blog..
Neighbors better watch for termites since you tore down their house. They’ll just move next door....
Not in winter.
Hey Chris,
Looks like you pissed off the occupant. At the time stamp around 2:43 there is either a really big rat or a ground hog that can be seen running out of the front of the house on the left!!
Close the door and put your A/C on recirculate.A Water mister can help in these applications.We like All the views,but I like your commentary during
operations.
Top of the cab view.
Fire. Fire. Fire. Dynamite. Actually just a D8.
Made a mess over that copper pipe but you got the pipe lmao
At least the roof you hit was on a house you were tearing down! Try hitting a new construction home! Lol! I like all 3 camera angles I say just keep mixing them up 👍🏻
Just a thought if you take away the fuses isn’t the mains still live from the road ?
Your whole life can pass waiting on the utility companies. That's how monopolies work.
I'm surprised they didn't save those lime green kitchen cabinets
Man I no I have gave u a couple crap comments messin with ya but man u one hell of an operator and if u ever went somewhere else your uncle would be in a mess
Need a cam inside the house while tearing it down. Nice job
bet the neighbors are glad too see it go.
An occasional different angle showing a different POV is nice but I'm used to the close up view.
Hey their @letsdig18 would that be the house that got flooded ah month or so ago? That you know of.?? And camera number #1 in the cap, so we'll listen to you talk about upcoming job sites, a some other stuff also a's in b,s which is funny to listen, at least to me it is..lol and camera number #2 on the hood so we hear the sounds of stuff breaking a ah touch sound of the machine in the background. So good work a's always mister chris👍
Nothing like a great operator!!! Guess yall didnt get as much snow as the Triad did
Now those raccoons know how Detective Spooner felt.
Ah! It was a racoon 😂 let's hope it didn't go back in the front door.
Yeah, I was wondering about that. After seeing the damage though..
The brick removal seems to be going good!
Good vid as always sir. I'm curious what the hour meters are showing in your machines. Your bucket pins are getting a bit lose or it's just the thumb moving it's hard to tell on video. But the way those machines put out the work I'd expect some wollerd and stretched pins.
Legalised vandalism, love it!!!!
Nice job sir. I always like demo jobs well.... most of the time anyway. How many loads u figure 20 or more. We run tandems so not sure whst ur quads carry
A mix of all 3 cut & edited but keep your,s & Tim's commentry over it all
I love your videos, I have never tried to run any large equipment, I am amazed at how fierce they can be an how gentle they can be. I have a question about the power (force) of that bucket when you are pushing or pulling material, also that thumb it crunches wood like they are toothpicks how much pressure does it apply ? Thanks again for the great videos.
i think the thumb is set at like 4000 psi
Just use cab top and in cab, I would say their the best
totally saw the raccoon, but couldn't believe that they hadn't got the cat outta the house... makes sense now but geez, how long had the demo been going at that point
i thank i saw a racoon running from the house around 3mins in
Should’ve called the power company and reported somebody stealing power there. They would have been down in a few minutes.
bit of an extreme way to clear the snow off your roof
Is it part of your gig to remove the debris from the site? In other words are you going to supply a truck and load up & haul away the debris? I appreciate you have to/want to separate the brick from the wood. Would you gain any efficiency getting the haul-away truck (presumably a dump truck) and chew off the second story & roof and load it right into the truck? Seems to me you could probably get a good dumptruck load from the 2nd story & roof and whatever you can grab from the ground floor. You haven't touched any brickwork yet. Next you go after the ground floor and you have the irritating wood/brick separation exercise. But there's only half as much wood involved.
