I would have burned the ruble too, but knowing me, I would have spent a couple days saving 2x4's out of it first. Spring of 2020, my brother took down the 'wood shed' my grandpa built, out of mostly used lumber, back in about 1915. He built a very similar shed, using mostly all of the 'used lumber' from the wood shed, and now has a steel roofed wood shed full of firewood. I talked him into building me a 8x10 garden tool shed on the old milkhouse slab here for me, out of used lumber I have from an old corn crib I took down years ago. Ya can't buy new lumber as nice as the piles of yellow pin 2x's I have stashed away
Currently clearing my property of what I found out was a pheasant farm. While tilling up the sod I found miles of netting, chicken wire and wood framing that was knocked down and grown over! Augh, what a pain that is to clean up!
I had an old barn about the size of that one that was just too unsafe to even go inside of anymore. One of my neighbors said he would help me take it down if I'd let him have the tin siding and any of the usable wood inside. "Deal!" We took it down piece by piece and he wound up with a huge pile of usable lumber and the tin skin. He took days to pull all of the old nails out but eventually he had what he wanted. The only thing we could not salvage was the tin on the roof that was only being held together by the rust that was on it. I folded it all up like sheets of cardboard, almost bent the axle on my trailer hauling it, took it to our local salvage yard and what happened to it? They BURIED it! The dirt that was the floor of that old barn was like talcum powder and it took days of running sprinklers on it before the water would finally start soaking in and I could put grass seed over it. Oh, and my neighbor's pile of tin and wood? Probably somewhere up around New England after a Cat 5 Hurricane named Michael came through and polished his land almost clean. All that work......gone! Who is going to sure Mother Nature for polluting the land now?
I was wondering why you weren’t going to burn it! The customer didn’t want it burnt! That’s crazy, it’s going to rot and sink!Do what the customer wants Matt, thanks for sharing brother! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I can tell you from personal experience, that in about 10 years, you will have a 3 foot deep sinkhole there as the wood rots away to nothing. I figured that hole was about twice as big as you needed.
Brilliant, hope they paid you well enough and don't worry I won't tell them how much fun you had that day otherwise you would have to pay them!! Thanks for sharing and the audio and music were just fine to me so ignore the haters, they're only jealous!
Awesome memory of my childhood was my step-dad knew the guy down the street who was using a bigger one of those to tear down his old house to make room for a bigger one. He showed 8yr old me which levers to move and how to move them. I got to tear down the south wall. Deff not Osha approved.
Someone mentioned this in another video and I have to agree...your vocal audio is too quiet and the music is too loud. I found myself turning it up and down constantly. Otherwise, good content/editing.

Great job. After filling in and smoothing the top soil flat, I have a10' section of 6" pipe that I welded chains in the middle of the pipe far enough apart for the bucket width. I connect the chains in both sides of the bucket, tension the bucket up holding the chains tight- pipe in front of the bucket will smooth the ground making it look as if was graded.
Nice clean job man! Even though the customer wouldn't let you burn it I thought you did a really clean job even though its probably not the best way. But hey the customer is always right!
We push it in a hole burn it cover the hole a few days later after hauling the foundation out after we haul away the lumber tin and antiques we keep my shop stove started life as a coal stove pulled from a house basement and turned it into a wood burner with an oil drip
Matt I was surprised that after you knocked down the structure you didn't track your equipment over the debris to compact it further, not questioning it just curious. A beliver in your abilities😊
Interesting thing and seems like you had fun knocking that thing down :-) You would not be allowed to do that in Germany - Wood that has been painted or treated in some similar way cant be just dumped somewhere, same goes for most of the things like the left over electric wiring or the chair etc.... virtually the only thing you can just bury without any issues is fully inert material like concrete or iron...
Where I live the concrete iron and stone can't be burried but the county has a place to dump it free so they can use it on river and creek banks to stop erosion while the grass and trees grow in the buffer strips between the river and creeks and farmland
I like Matt, He seems like an honest, Smart, Hard working guy, Multifaceted and Multitalented. I am the same way. Also we both have blue eyes.. lol.. Actually come to think of it a lot of people I know who are like that have Blue eyes.. Probably just a coincidence, but maybe more to it..
When it comes to smoothing the ground. Try pulling a wood pallet behind the atv. A couple hundred pounds of tire weights makes it bite. It works like a poor man’s land plane.
@Diesel_Creek Love your videos, especially the restoration stuff - HOWEVER, your background music reminds me of late 80's / early 90's Porn background music, just sayen.
I know that you do most of the camera work, but do you have a videographer? It appears that the overhead camera follows you, even zooming in at times, yet both your hands are on the steering of the little red tractor. The camera work is great, by the way.
Hi buddy. You have done a fantastic job pulling that old shed down.i wonder if this the right size bucket for your excavators or it is the onlyone you have now.i fell this is a bit small for your 8 tones excavator... Keep the good work.
I absolutely despise that bucket! It’s shaped a lot more like a backhoe bucket has teeth that are too big for the bucket and not enough of them.... i’ve been looking for a new bucket, they are just very hard to find used for this size machine, and I’m not spending 3 to 5000 on a new one
Where about in pa are you? I'm in the western part of pa and there is a guy In Ohio just over the line that has tons of buckets and is really reasonable. I have bought a lot from him
I wish I could find more of those around my area I've got a little more I'd like to do on my house with reclaimed barn wood and tin and I have 3 more houses to finish on the farm for my kids and the hunting lodge in the top of my 80x 150 milking barn we turned into a fabrication/welding shop on 1 end and mechanic shop on the other I've got 5 to 10 years to save for the last 2 houses going up on the farm I give my kids each 10 acres to build a house on for high school graduation present and we build the houses ourselves a friend of mine does the concrete and masonry work and another the electrical my oldest son is a contractor so we're pretty stacked at cheap as possible but well above code
First thing I thought was light a match also. Or at least let local FD use it as a practice burn. I will be binge watching your videos over my Christmas vacation. I like the sound track.👍🍻🇺🇸

OK so, find flat ground, dig a big hole, put in rubbish from an old barn, fill in the hole with everything that came out of the hole, and the ground is still flat, hmmmm now I KNOW I don't understand physics.
Seems like people might like the old boards that were in there make better accent pieces than old tin. IMHO The owner is going to have to deal with settling for years as the wood rots.
K.D. Pearce I sold the tin pretty quick but the wood wasn’t anything special, I try to salvage anything worth the effort. As for the settling he wouldn’t let me burn it and it’s quite expensive to haul off so he didn’t wanna do that either
In 30 years there will be an HOA development here and some one will be landscaping right where you bury that building, and he will be cursing you. You know that right?
Better to happen to an HOA instead of a farmer buying the property and putting up a new house definitely will find the biggest HOA Karen off the bat so you know who to stay away from
So as I told you in your container building video I am also in the planning of building and I have tested the grounds with a shovel found some bottles and I thought maybe was some fill there and as I go into the ground I find it is a dump site and all fill nothing stable to build on so I had to remove about 8feet deep to get to the solid clay so now I have a big hole to fill with something and this is where I ask for your advice what will make good fill to build on I want to have heavy equipment on the shop area to work on but what will i fill this with, stone maybe, dig some good clay and fill there a mixture of something what will pack like limestone but not dissolve over time as limestone dissolves?
@@DieselCreek ok I have clay on my farm and where my son works they use river gravel but only a certain size and discard the rest, he said I can have all I need I wonder if clay and river gravel will make a good mix, like 6" of clay and 2 ''and then roll it in I not want make a mistake I never do this before.
ok I never hear this term slang of the trade I guess because I know river gravel not pack and will not be stable alone so I think this will be the plan always need a plan in mind I know is why you are success fulthanks for advice love your camera work @@DieselCreek
@trollolol @trollolol Disagree. Nature never set itself up for fires every year. Naturally occurring fires should happen every 125 to 200 years. If everyone on the planet had the atitude that burning was ok as a method of disposal we'd all live on a smokey ball of fire. Not to mention the consequences, even for farmers.... Smaller or less dense forests = less humidity being held = less rain fall. This is called desertification.
@trollolol Plains don´t exist because "lightning strikes wood as a path to the ground". Plains are a geological formation. Now, bush fires can certainly be started by lightning, but you have to consider what is 'natural'. For lightning to start a fire you need dry bush and a dry thunder storm. These are weather extremes brought about by climate change. If you look back 100 years you'll be lucky to find occurrence of such an event. If you go back even further you'll find that bush/forest fires occurred every 120-200 years. These weather extremes are only going to get worse unfortunately accelerating desertification. Thats why we're getting out of the farming business.
@trollolol Well you do live up to your name.... Carbon dioxide is currently double the amount thats ever been recorded by another climate change event (ice age). When you collect samples of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere you can identify where it came from due to the isotopic fingerprint - its from fossil fuels. There is no dispute, no debate, science is science, but there is a lot of disinformation because its not financially convenient to comply with climate change emission reductions. Mega money industries lobby our Governments to not comply or to do the absolute minimum, AND sponsor fake news. If you don't want to inform yourself, thats your problem. If you do, where else is better than NASA? climate.nasa.gov/evidence/

I'm amused that you de-installed the barn, and installed a hole.
The best way to salvage wire and metal from other debris is to burn it out. My buddy takes it to his place and burns through it in a pit.

the next barn you have to bury, it might be an idea to do it in 2 foot layers, wood,clay backfill, it help with the settlement
