Sir, I thoroughly enjoyed watching your video. I especially enjoyed your no-nonsense approach to explaining your techniques. I respect your honesty and your work ethic. Kudos, sir.
Loved the video. I'm a young water damage technician and I was sent to PEI for hurricane clean up I usually just work in basements but I have multiple large demos coming up and I definitely appreciate the video giving me an idea of how to approach this
Yeah, buddy (Love your screen name by the way). You've got some hard work ahead of you. - My rules for structural demo include: Take it apart in the reverse order it was put together, cut as many connections (nails) as you can with reciprocating saw (get lots of demo blades), chainsaws and sledgehammers have their places, but I use both rarely, if it look like it might fall down or get away from you have an exit path and plan. - Good luck. Love to see what you're up against.
Totally appreciated. That's the whole gig here. I 1,000% don't want to be Mr. Beast (the cash would be novel for a while) but that's jello. This is my sweet spot. Go get 'em.
Brother thank you for making this very informative video. I do appreciate it. I will be tearing down the old crap shed that came with my house to eventually replace with a new one and I had no clue how to begin to tear my shed down. Thanks to u I have a good idea now lol thanks again!
I could tell you a story about where that energy came from...a seminar I was in once that -- to this day -- was the best sleeping pill I could imagine. zzzzzzzz
This man is so entertaining and knowledgeable it didn't make me want to do it myself it made me want to hire him to do it.. 😂.. I got a 10x20 shed and a ankle that took 7 months to heal till I got back to work.. I'm not too sure walking around the roof of a shed with a saw would be a good idea for me.. but maybe hiring somebody would be. I just hope they're half as good as this guy.. he made a big job look easy.. not to mention the right tool for the right job could run into some money. Especially if they're tools that I may never use again unless I'm getting ready to tear down my next shed.. this was a great video and gave me a few things to think about
I’m laughed several times at this video but I guess the world is full of people that need to be reminded not to just walk off the end of the roof or let the roof collapse on top of them. And yes demo is fun! But the thing I liked best about the video is there was no finessing it. Just cut it up into the biggest pieces you can manage safely. No little hammer and pry bar like most of the demo videos on YT. You sir know how to get the job done.
You bet. - I do this kind of thing all the time, so the gears are greased. I'd say I had this on the ground and in the dump truck in 4-ish hours. - If you're just tooling up, I'd give it 6-8 hours to get it on the ground and maybe another 2-hours to load it wherever it goes.
Hey man what blade did you run on your saw for this? I just bought a flex saw noticed you also use flex, I have the rear handle saw. It made 2 good cuts and started to bog on me quick. Curious how many batteries you went through and what blade you are running here for this.
I tried using my sawzall yesterday. I have a Dewalt but not enough batteries. So I tried my hyper tough corded and the damn thing was falling apart, literally, the casing kept sliding off somehow. And it's not that strong. I do have a skill saw too so I'm gonna try that tomorrow on the other sheds(got 3 total for this job)
Cost depends on a number of functions. Accessibility to the shed, egress through gates or flower beds, and shed size. - I charge a day rate for labor, an equipment fee for my dump truck and other equipment. - I never give an estimate unless I can se e the project. - I do shed removal and shed building in Montgomery County, PA
How much did you quote because I have a shed job and you’ve just help me on how to tear down but I don’t want to under quote! Shed a little bigger than that one!!!
Good question. And, I wish I could help more, but this was a few years ago and part of a larger project. - What I can share with you is my "burden" and the line items associated with it. - I own the means of transport to the dump ( a dump truck in my case) so there is a line items for that. My job-costing and overhead. Labor, which includes tear-down, lift-and-carry, and transpo to the dump and back. - You could also look at it like this: You can figure out your day rate. That then gives you a 1/2-day rate. Then break up your estimate into those blocks and see where it takes you. - We could talk for hours about the nuances of this, but we have to start somewhere.
Neighbor gets locked out of his back door and after he gets inside they both stare at you through the window while you talk to a camera 🤣. I totally would've been those neighbors lol. "Hey babe, come check this out, the neighbors hired a guy to take down their shed and he's out there talking to himself. You think he's OK? I'm gonna go ask him if he needs some help with that, if he's not crazy I'll give you the signal and then you bring us out a couple of those Mike's from the fridge would ya please?" Yup, totally would have went down that way.
Good question. There are a lot of variables. And, this was part of a larger project. - What I can tell you is what the inputs were: I own a dump truck that took all this to the dump. The dump charges $120/ton and I need to mark that up. Then there's the labor for taking it down and not killing yourself. And then there is selling a service customers can afford. - I think the line item on this one was somewhere around $1,750.
That's a different project. I suppose it's possible but the likelihood you'll damage something is high. - I'd be sure to have a lot of demo blades for the recip saw. Cut as many nails as you can.
I know you were worried about small yard, neighbors fence, but once that roof down why are you still cutting. That little thing and a sledge is all you need unless you have a tiny dumpster or you like playing with tools. That whole thing with two guys should take 2 to 3 hours with filling up trailer or dumpster.
3:35 Uhm, I'd probably agree that its important to have "one of these" on the jobsite, _IF_ I knew what "one of these" was, which i dont...... 😊 What is it?

Not sure why you’d go on a roof of a shed that needs to be demoed most times there not in wonderful condition. No reason to go on the roof. Throwing hazard, material and black bags and throwing in the trash. Definitely proper way to dispose of it. Lol.
I've tried a chainsaw on a deck re-skin and it devoured wood, but the rooster tail of dust was crap. Cutting asphalt and nails will cripple a chain fast. No go for me.
Maybe you guys should volunteer to go around carefully deconstructing peoples' sheds, etc. and storing the unique and specific sized pieces for them in case they need a scrap piece of 2x4 or something. There are people who either don't want to or have the ability/tools necessary to demo an outbuilding themselves so they hire it out, most likely to a contractor who is going to be building them a new or bigger one. Its always obvious from comments like these that come from people who don't realize what it would take to "salvage" all the cheap lumber from an old shed, therefore don't realize how unprofitable it would be to be paying said contractor to waste time doing it. A decent door or windows....sure, but not 2x4's and $10/sheet OSB,etc.

Omg I didn’t know how much I needed to watch this until I watched it lol
Thank you. There's more to shed demo--and most structural demo--than meets the eye. Pick it apart, smart.
You're so right, I pack trucks and twice in 20 years Ive walked off the back of a truck, I have learned my lesson, situation awareness...
Situational awareness applies to everything, not just dangerous stuff. I've learned a lot about life building things.
Omg, you had me cracking up all the way through. Thank you for the belly laughs and great demo!
And you win the internet for making my day. Thank you. We try to throw a little verve at these things. This is inspiring.
Thanks for the tips. About how long did it take you?

as the neighbor is having an afar in the back ground thank you for giving me the confidence to diy the task
Yeah buddy. Go slow. Take care.
"Somthing like that... it's a gun thing." Lol great video I got to tackle my shed this helped alot thanks
Definitely a gun thing. I learned it shooting with friends. And thank you. Super stoked it was helpful.
Great vid! That shed looks great though, why did they want it removed?
1- Thank you. 2 - It was a hot mess and there were property line issues.
He’s funny 😆 we need to do this!
I'm nominating you to nominate me for an Oscar!
hilarious 😂
Hey man what blade did you run on your saw for this? I just bought a flex saw noticed you also use flex, I have the rear handle saw. It made 2 good cuts and started to bog on me quick. Curious how many batteries you went through and what blade you are running here for this.
@@deweyjohnson783 Two answers: The Flex blades that come with the tools are great. - For this application….It’s hard to say what works best.
@@myfixituplife looks like you ran the Diablo blade in this video to me. How many batteries did you run through?
@@deweyjohnson783 Great question. No good answer. - I like to plug in on jobs like this. Way easier.
This guy cracks me up
It's hard work, either way you cut it. Might as well have a laugh while you try to not walk off the roof.
Ayooo this was the best video ever.
YES! Thank you. We try. - Keep going. Let us know how your projects shake out.
A+ for style and, well, everything.
Yeah, buddy. Thank you.

Seems like it's time to upgrade the tools you've worked hard. Check out Flex tools at Lowes. They're beasts.
“Walk your ass right off the roof” lol
True fact. Glad the line (and not me) landed.
Can I ask how much you charge for a shed of this size? Thanks for any input!
Cost depends on a number of functions. Accessibility to the shed, egress through gates or flower beds, and shed size. - I charge a day rate for labor, an equipment fee for my dump truck and other equipment. - I never give an estimate unless I can se e the project. - I do shed removal and shed building in Montgomery County, PA
You made that look so easy
We try. It's not easy. It's not easy and the load and carry of materials out to the front yard is no joke.
How much did you quote because I have a shed job and you’ve just help me on how to tear down but I don’t want to under quote! Shed a little bigger than that one!!!

Very organized way to take down a shed👍
Thank you.
Where can I get a two tine pry bar like the one you used around the 4:24 time stamp? I've looked everywhere?
I just looked, too. I'm not sure. I know the inventor. - Try him on IG and mention me. - There is no better pry bar for many tasks IMO.
@@myfixituplife I found it! thanks

How much did you charge for something like this?
Good question. There are a lot of variables. And, this was part of a larger project. - What I can tell you is what the inputs were: I own a dump truck that took all this to the dump.

How much did you charge to demo that exact shed?
I forget. I think it was $1,200. There was stuff inside it too.
4:46 Hi! 😂😂
I do what I do. Here I am.:)
Good video. However I was looking how to take one apart to relocate.
That's a different project. I suppose it's possible but the likelihood you'll damage something is high. - I'd be sure to have a lot of demo blades for the recip saw. Cut as many nails as you can.
How much did you charge?
I'm about $1,500 on this one. No dumpster or Bagsters or trailer hauling. I have a dump truck I use for this that requires a line item.
The 4X4s under the shed are skids for towing the shed to and fro.
Yes.
Great video! Thanks
Really glad it was helpful. I hope your project works out nicely. I have another one to take down soon.
Nice video. Fun.
Thank you. Kind words are quite nice to hear out here on the Internet.
Did anyone else see the neighbor slam his door when he was cutting the shingles 😂😂 on the roof
Did he? I didn’t notice.
This is the closest thing I could find to disassemble a shed without trashing 😂😅😢 Damn I better figure something now lol
Thank you. Demo is precision in reverse.
Thank you!!!!

It's been a while, but it was all day (there is shit under sheds) to get it onto my dump truck. Another 2-hours to dump it plus dump fee.

what a waste of a good shed
agreed. so much re-usable building material off to the trash heap.
Agreed, So much more could have been done with the materials...
Maybe you guys should volunteer to go around carefully deconstructing peoples' sheds, etc. and storing the unique and specific sized pieces for them in case they need a scrap piece of 2x4 or something.
