Did they just push the entire demolished house down into what was a basement? I've heard of it being done on rural farm or ranch acreage but it seems like a weird thing to do on a city lot like this. Isn't the typical procedure to truck away the debris and (unless the new structure is planned to also have a basement) eliminate the pit with clean fill dirt which is compacted to minimize future settling?
Briefly spoke with the crew. Yes, they pushed the debris into the basement. From there, the material was extracted with a claw attachment and separated for recycling, recovery and landfill. They are able to make (re)-use of about 10-20% of the house. Pushing into the basement meant they had the rest of the yard area to separate the material. These are rather small lots.
@@electrical5 Hey, thanks a lot for taking the time to ask the crew about my question. It didn't occur to me but it makes sense that they'd need space to work on sorting the debris. Thanks again and have a great week!
Looked like a decent small house. About the size for a retired single guy like me. Cant find any small houses to buy in my area, so I'm stuck living in a tiny, crappy apartment ...
New volvo? Nice machine!
