There are a lot of comments on the inexperienced operator. It is quite obvious that they let someone who was the principal or someone on the school committee to start the demolition. Of course she did not know how to run the machine. It was an honor that they let her. Lighten up a little on her. Sheeeeesh.
Great video keep making great videos I like your videos I enjoy watching your videos keep making great videos I like your videos a lot keep making great videos
My elementary school, Helen J. Neeley in Brookpark, Ohio (a suburb of Cleveland by the Cleveland airport) that I was student up until 1965, It was demolished in the late 70's to make room for new houses to be built. I was also sad to see that all the farmlands, wide open fields and part of the ancient woods, are now warehouses and office buildings.
This work would be a great way to train a new operator. Low risk of him damaging anything while learning and it takes some time to get the feel of the machine to make it work right.
love old school buildings that were built in the early part of the last century, before World War II. These old buildings have a lot of character, and it breaks my heart to see them get demolished. My girlfriends high school, Wanesfield High, of Sellersville PA built in 1921, is still standing, and is still a high school. In 1993, it was designated as a historic landmark. It's never had any major renovations, but has had some modifications to make it handicapped accessible. Some stairways have been replaced with ramps. The toilet stalls in the bathrooms have been reconfigured. It still has it's original iconic schoolhouse globe lamps in the hallways, which they now use LED bulbs in. In those lamps, they used to use 200 watt incandescent bulbs. The building has the bench style fluorescent light fixtures in the classrooms, which were put in in the late 1950's, and use the twelve foot bulbs. The hardwood floors in the classrooms have been sanded and refinished with a flame retardant finish. They have put in a high tech fire alarm system with interconnected smoke and heat detectors. When my girlfriend was a student there, they still had the original lockers, recessed into the hallway walls, which were big enough to put a mate's chair in. Harris had a mate's chair in her locker to use as a lunch chair in the cafteteria due to a chair shortage. It was to save herself the frustration of having to search for a lunch chair, while her lunch period ticked away and her food got cold. Since Harris graduated in 1987, they've taken out the radiators and put in a new heating system that's also a central A/C system. When Harris was there, each classroom had a window A/C unit. They've also put in new windows, and smaller lockers.
Jacky Claiborne the high school I graduated from was built in 1662. And my grandmother went to the same school. Its one of the oldest schools in Massachusetts. Its still being used this very day. Hopkins Academy
I have demolished everything from homes to apartment buildings, I'm very surprised they didn't require a wet demo.... knocks the dust down almost totally.
That's a beautiful, brand new Volvo wrecker, wow! My one of the bucket lists to do a demolition. Oops, class is going on, not today, it should be done over the weekend. It seems the backhoe operator is hesitant to do a complete demolition for a fairly good building.
A school that old would be so full of asbestos that the cost of remodeling it to use as something else would be more than tearing it down and rebuilding something new. Most school districts just don't have the money to do it. Plus the cost of heating and A/C in an older building like this is outrageous
Seems like the building was in good shape. Local goverment and housing authority could have developed this into apartments for low income senior citizens.
Except the City of Clearfield, Utah already has lots of low income housing. This building needed to be torn down. It wasn't suited for housing. The upgrades required for it to meet the building code for dwellings would have been ridiculously costly. The building was built before earthquake, fire and modern building requirements. It was becoming a liability. They built a nice new building to the west and once they were done tore this one down. It's a nice thought to think about repurpousing an old building, but you have to be practical and sensible about it. BTW, the new school building is complete with a community center that helps disadvantaged families with daycare and Adult Education. That's something that the old building didn't have room to accommodate.
There was a elementary school I went to in kindergarten that's no longer there now. I think it was built in 1967. Well, the Windows look like the East high school building. It can be seen on Google street view from October 2007, to September of 2015. It appeared to be demolished in 2015 or 2016. I do remember going there back in late 2014 to early 2015.
Talkin about sum "the school was the oldest in the davis distract" that school looks like it wasn't even that old, and a matter of fact it look like it was built 2 days ago still could've been used.
They should run water jets Warner over the building so that dust from the elementary school might have asbestos in it and you don't want that stuff in your lungs it also keeps the dust down
Near the end, when they were digging shallow and sifting the soil gently from the bucket, they were looking for a time-capsule or something.. I believe anyways.
What a shame to see this old school building get destroyed that building had many uses someone could have bought that building and turned them into apartments or a business.
This guy is so painful to watch. Was this his 1st ever demo? Did they put that person on board to show him how it should be done? Does he ever Figure out how to GREASE his machine? Did he ever finish demolishing this school??? Was he texting while destroying this building???... 1st time I've ever seen someone gently destroy a building!
There is clearly some purpose in the deliberate and cautious process here. Whomever was doing this had a purpose in proceeding cautiously I agree with the comment that there might be a capsule. There is too great a value in the rare opportunity to raze such a building of brick on such a lot. Great training ground of 2 story demo.
I did extensive calculations on a supercomputer based on this operators' slowness and total lack of talent and the result was that it would take him 182 hours of real time video to demolish the entire building. HOW SAD !
This place looks of 60s construction he’ll the schools around here 3 were built before 1920 and their still used daily they aren’t full time schools anymore but that was only stopped in 2012

Even the main operator was a moron
Well that explains it. I was wondering what was going on. Actually did ok in that case.
THIS GUY DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO OPERATE AN EXCAVATOR,PERIOD!!!!!
Truth seeker AND SPEAKER I was just about to comment that lol I'm 15 and know how to operate one
they let teachers do the first little bit of demo...
Even the normal operator left a lot to be desired. He banged the hell out of the bucket cylinder at the end digging the basement.
Truth seeker AND SPEAKER they let teachers and kids do a bit maybe u should have went to school
Exactly
Great video keep making great videos I like your videos I enjoy watching your videos keep making great videos I like your videos a lot keep making great videos
This is just too painful to watch. That guy must have some kind of problem that he cannot get that machine working correctly.
its a old bitch watch her go out of it ! its the schools chief i think
Lidsman22, Obviously you are in to big of a hurry to run your mouth instead of watching the video long enough to see who was running the excavator!!

id rather tear it down and go for trillions of bucks then spending trillions of bucks
its old and look crappy btw it looks like griswold middle school in connecticut
Why does that operator seem to NOT know how to drive that thing. Eiher that or he was intoxicated.
Jason Bathurst 8:38 Mrs. summners is driving that thing right now it's a teacher
He's probably on drugs. The teacher did a better job than him amazingly.
@@jonetech5324 they let a teacher tear that school down ??

I love seeing old buildings smashed up. They are nasty!
@@PreservationEnthusiast not really but okay
@@horrorattaks8877 Yes really. I really like to see dirty old buildings smashed up and replaced with modern ones.
funny how the school owner did a better job at demolition then the worker 😂
That looks like fun, I bet the driver of that backhoe is loving every second of the demolition.
Shout out to the woman that keeps yelling "break a window"
I do demolition work. He is really New at this. Big job for beginner
I believe the elementary school I went to was built in the same year it's still there
The operator was not very good
CHÀONGƯỜI BẠN PHƯƠNG XA! CÁM ƠN VÌ ĐÃ CHIA SẺ
2:43 Small bump from excavator
Man: woohoo
this operator is definitely a rookie in training!!!
ibtm and demolishing you don’t start in the middle of a big building you start at a side
@@billy-2966 very true
Rumor has it that he JUST finished demolishing this old piece of shit building last week !!!
They let the teachers take turns in running the machine douchebag
@@alanspagnolia9474 it wasn't a piece of shit......
It was an honorary operator duh! Maybe an old principal or something
Seems like the building was in good shape. Local goverment and housing authority could have developed this into apartments for low income senior citizens.
Except Davis County is one of the most crowded in the state of Utah, I'm sure they needed the location for something else or a new school

I agree with the guy below. The excavater operator must be a rookie. He probably used $25 worth of diesel and only did $5 worth of damage. 😏
Probably was looking up youtube videos on how to demolish a school
Lmfao

So, did they ever get the school torn down or are the still working on it here in 2019?
Too painful to continue, cheerio!
Why exactly was this school torn down? It looks like it was still in good shape.
What are the going to build on that space?
I've never seen a 360 degree operator so slow
I'm not trying to be an a****** but this guy is slower than molasses. Don't ever get done.
What a cool looking excavator
All windows were there, This school could be millions of dollars
What was the reason for the demolition?!
Talkin about sum "the school was the oldest in the davis distract" that school looks like it wasn't even that old, and a matter of fact it look like it was built 2 days ago still could've been used.
That guy must be new at the job.
must have been getting paid by the hour
Paul Mcguire r
Paul Mcguire all jobs pay by the hour
Dakattack no they do not
Yeah they pay by day but he is taking his taking a long time to do anything
Paul Mcguire haw is you my ney 1996
very good video thank you
Wake me when they start or when it looks
like they might be getting serious.
2018?
HOW MUCH DID IT COST TO DEMO THIS BUILDING ?
This has to be the first time this person ever operated a excavator !
Bro the teachers be doin this
First one I ran was the 336 on my profile icon and did a better job
wow this thing has alot of levers and buttons....hmmmm, wonder what this does
They should run water jets Warner over the building so that dust from the elementary school might have asbestos in it and you don't want that stuff in your lungs it also keeps the dust down
How old is this school?
Near the end, when they were digging shallow and sifting the soil gently from the bucket, they were looking for a time-capsule or something.. I believe anyways.
That building was in good shape
They should have just left up and try to sell the building.
(Unless someone just bought the property.)
The new school was built on the same property. Then the old one was tore down to make room for parking and playgrounds.
BEAVER CKEAVER'S OLD SCHOOL. WALLY USED TO GO THERE TO.
A little bit oversized excavator for that job?
Can you say trainee on a demo job, where a lot of operators learn the machine?
How many years
What a shame to see this old school building get destroyed that building had many uses someone could have bought that building and turned them into apartments or a business.
The guy seems to be unexpirienced. And they shold have replaced the standard bucket with a dedicated demolishing attachment.
Why does this school has to be destroyed? It looks fine!
This guy is so painful to watch. Was this his 1st ever demo? Did they put that person on board to show him how it should be done? Does he ever Figure out how to GREASE his machine?

Great training ground of 2 story demo.
Why was this beautiful building being torn down???
wow, looks like Still a nice school...sad..
I think the driver needs to have a refresher course
School in MUSD is mostly from 1980 but the oldest one is from ww2
all the kids that went to that school are so happy lol
Looks like a brand-new Volvo excavator, the biggest one. Breaking in on breaking that old schoolhouse up!
I did extensive calculations on a supercomputer based on this operators' slowness and total lack of talent and the result was that it would take him 182 hours of real time video to demolish the entire building. HOW SAD !
Looks so much like my Elementary school, rip n tear!!!!! Destruction rules!!!!
When was that school built?
That's young
In the late 1940's
I can't watch this any longer, LoL
LOOKS LIKE THEY CHANGED DRIVERS AND HE STILL DOESNT KNOW HOW TO OPERATE IT!
welch shahan operator change was a former teacher.😁
Is this newbie behind the controls?
First day on the job?
Woah
He was afraid he was going to get his shiny Volvo dirty LOL
Look's. like that guy don't have a idea of what he is doing
He was a graduate of that school. Says a lot.
Lol 😂
That was hard to watch, dude you need to learn how to operate that machine 😂😂
2:57 did some one yell break a window?
Yep
You mean 2:55
Yes
Why?
Too bad that school could not have been converted to an apartment complex.
an operator with balls would have taken half the time
Schools out Forever!
2:40 smashes down
WOO HOO
This finally putting me to sleep 👍
Looked like a nice building, too bad it could not have been repurposed.
Must have been that guy's first day wrecking something.
Rumor has it the operator is still trying to demolish the school to this very day.
Took longer to demolish than to build 😂😂😂

Weight leverage of the bucket is tilting the cab not very stable. This needs to be sturdy.
That guy must be a rookie operating that excavator.
What are all the kids who went to this school saying.. They are probably like yay 😃
It makes me sad because a good shape building could be reused
I hope the same happened to my school xD
+llyarOfficial lol
With all bullys and mean teachers inside. xD
Legit demo company would have removed all the foliage before demo.
Yes. Standard procedure here before wrecking anything.
This makes me want to do this to my High School. Btw I'm a Freshman.
Please let the machine operator's name be Bart . . . . or even Willie.
Oh hell my bad ! Good job Sweetie !
Whoever says the operator is slow and doesnt know how to use that is the noob in the cab
That building doesn't look that bad of shape.
The best thing ever
What's the squeaking
i wish this was my school
We all do
