    Demo operator for 15 years here. You look good you might try stripping the brick only off the back side where your gonna start. Once you demo into house roof is crunched up on floor you can set bucket teeth on top plate of wall lean it out and shake a bit brick falls off outside footprint then pull wall inside footprint and crunch...I think you will find it much faster this way. When I I demo a house like this I only get about 45 minutes before my first truck so time is key. Smooth operator though

I mean patting yourself on the back that much minimum would be dislocated shoulder. Just giving you crap! It is awesome what you can do with these machines! Very respectfully, Kevin

    Quite amazing to see how things are done in other countries...over where I live, all I would need to do is let the local people know that the house had to come down and all I needed was the bricks. Within a day everything would have been removed and all that would be left would be the brick shell! These people are the best recyclers I have ever come across, because nothing goes to waste.

    Near Syracuse New York the counties in the area charge $65/ton for construction/demolition debris, that's the same price they charge for regular garbage, they also charge the same fee for dirt/cinder blocks/bricks/concrete so it's helpful to the budget to crush things to avoid the fee. What are the tipping fees like in other places?

    When brick is only a vernier it will not make a house last any longer than all those sticks its built with on the inside.
    Having 3 or 4 feet of real brick structure in every load bearing g wall to contend with might make the structure last a whole lot longer.
    The reality of any building technique is to keep the water out in a first place.
