This was my first attempt at re-spooling 120 film onto a 620 spool. I used a Kodak Duaflex II camera to take these pics. I was so afraid the pictures would not turn out. Leave a comment and let me know what you think. These copies of the pics were taken with my cell phone, so there is some glare.

      Yes, there is more, but I haven't got around to doing anymore. I have 5 hours of footage.

    😀👍 to me the way that doing this that's way too slow that better off with a crane and a wrecking ball and have that whole wall torn down in no time hitting it with a wrecking ball thank you.

  • @mikeberthold1593

    OMG whatever happened to the steel ball with a chain and the tire connected to it! Are these people being paid by the hour

    What about the most useless machine for tearing down a building. Painfully slow.

  • @mikes7639

    Makes you want to take over for the crane operator and knock the wall down faster. Why is he pecking at it one brick at a time ?

    wrong equipment and wrong operator. this is crazy on how slow this guy is. it's going to take for ever to get this building down at this rate. got to be getting payed by the hour, not the job.

    ?? Why are they using a portable crane??? Don’t they use them to build things?

  • @jeanchristopheturbian1217

    Pourquoi utiliser une grue télescopique pour faire de la démolition ? Très lent, peu maniable, cette engin n'est vraiment pas adapté à ce genre de travail. 🤔🤔

    Why is he so slow. Probably will have 10 parts. Must be paying him by the hour. Like watching paint dry.

    • @simonrose8700
      @simonrose8700 Рік тому

      If that is very unstable they have to take their time. I've seen things go very badly wrong in demolition where people have been killed.

    Makes me embarrassed to be a heavy equipment operator. Horrible abuse on what’s clearly the wrong piece of machinery for the job at hand.

    I take it this is the owner himself doing the job to save money! A professional wrecking company would use a clam- shell grab on the end of a liebherr crane. This is akin to painting the side of your house with a 1 inch brush!

    What is the implement on the end of the boom? I've seen hydraulic claws, clamshells, and jackhammers, but his is something I've never seen. Sometimes it looks like there's some sort of grinder on the far side from all the dust being created.

  • @CriticalThinker27

    Never understood why anyone charged with demo work would start at the top. Isn't everything held up by the bottom? A few well placed blows would save this fool several days of work.
