False. The new houses are garbage. These same machines tear down unfortunately old houses too, takes much longer because they were built to last and more pretty.
@@VannBergHVAC FALSE. I did commercial and residential demolition for over 30 years. On older concrete buildings some are much stronger than today. As far as houses go an old house is easier to take down. Old houses don't have the big open spaces that new homes have. Typically the have more interior walls that can help stabilize it as you take it down. I did dozens of problem properties in Minneapolis over the years. Some 3 story houses that were literally 4 feet from the neighbors. A new construction building would be much slower to do it without risking neighboring property.
Your comment represents soo much more than this subject. It represents exactly the problem within our county. People speak out of turn, uneducated, creating a base of subservient sleep walkers. The hallmark of a healthy mind is the unwitting willingness to know the truth. Thankyou!
I don't know the back story on this one but I've seen plenty of outwardly beautiful houses that were structurally unsafe from wood destroying insects and others that had irreparable foundation problems. You can't judge a house by its street appeal.
I was wondering this myself. Unless there were other damages that one cannot see, like severe water damage or maybe even a house that had been involved in a horrendous crime and nobody wanted to live there. You do make a good point.
Some houses in close in upper middle class areas are bought and torn down to build a larger newer house. I was at a demolition sale of a 675.000 house that there was nothing wrong with, they just liked the upper class close in area and wanted a 1.2 million dollar house. What was really sad was on the next block over a house sold for 1 million totally remodeled with everything new inside and it was bulldozed down new fixtures and all. The new owners were ridiculed for not having a demolition sale, and it was quite a waste, but they said they were on a tight schedule and didn't have time to deal with a sale, one thing for sure they may not have had any time but they sure had plenty of money.
My uncle does a lot of these demos with the company he’s with, the electrical panel in my house is out of one of those houses, it still has a scratch in the cover from the excavator bucket tooth lol. Contrary to popular belief a lot of what is worth saving gets saved, but that isn’t crappy old windows and doors that aren’t thermal and whatever else crap people think should have been saved from an old likely worn out inside house that probably needed just as much work to make it as good a house as to just build a new one up to modern code
I like the neighbors holding up work so they can get some spare parts for themselves, Im guessing those were the owners out front doing the shoveling and broom. I was waiting to see the Kitchen Sink come swinging out on that chain.
There is a temp service on the utility pole in front of this house. My guess a new house is to replace this one. That looked like a gun safe they hauled out of the second floor too.
thats a nice looking house it must have some serious structural problems because i would be trying to save it remodel it rather than tear it down............... it just occured to me i know of some houses that look whole lot worse than that and they're still standing DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHY THE HOUSE BEING TORN DOWN ??
That would suck. I hope the people who were responsible replaced it and everything in it. Kind of funny when you think of it, that someone could make such a stupid mistake.
+shanee stanley Its a shame that someone doesn't just donate the entire house to someone that is homeless!! So many people have lost there homes to foreclosure or losing their jobs and yet we see what looks to be a great and decent built house get demolished!!?? How screwed up is that!
frmerrin2 Does it really matter? I just said it would be better to give the house to someone that needs a house instead of tearing it down. Give the house to someone that lost there home to foreclosure or something like that. This is so wasteful.
Could have had a termite infestation, mold problem, drug house, house that a homicide happened in or many other different things. I’ve seen quite a few houses that look really nice on the outside but once your inside they are a dump.
Lots of liability here. I have never seen people going in and out of a house during demolition. Also the guy operating the excavator is a bit slow. Most times the house is pushed into itself , not pulled outward.
You ever heard of a resale store like Habitat for Humanity All of that material Will go into a Landfield how stupid good doors inside and out good windows bathroom in kitchen cabinets fixtures in other stuff could have been salvageable that way it doesn't go Into the land field
@Pennsylvania Mike The house is not worth saving. Putting a new bigger house makes more sense. I never said anything about commercial. Renovating a house like that costs too much. It looks ok, but I guess the owners have other ideas.
@@firesurfer I did construction for 25 years I can tell you for a fact a house like cost a he'll of a lot less to renovate That's just stupid and waistfull
I would literally pay to operate this excavator and help tear down this house. Close to fourty years operating cranes and other equipment and have yet to destroy one single dwelling, however have put together many over the years. One hundred percent safety record and am super proud to have achieved this.. Thanks very much for sharing this awesome video..
jack panda barrett any number of reasons. Bad memories, termites, building codes, soil erosion or infrastructure needs. Who knows? Might have been a house of horrors that the city wanted to get rid of or maybe they just didn’t like the paint. No big loss as you can’t save everything.
With the price of land today, that house is probably on a large lot and a builder going to put two houses up. Surprised to see how easily the house breaks apart. Sad.
Excavator by Komatsu, rented from Pine Bush Equipment which has a location about 12 miles from my house, curious what town in the Hudson Valley this was?
The big bad excavator finished with the house of straw, now he's taking down the house of sticks. Stay tuned, in next week's show the big bad excavator takes down the house of bricks.
What a mess he's making. Where are the dumpsters or trucks it should be hauled out in? I've done this many times over the last 25 years. One thing I've learned and probably the most important thing, the bigger the mess you make of a demo job, the longer it takes to clean it up.
The oner of this house loved it, he had it built in the 80’s. His ex wife got the house in the devorce. She knew how mutch he wanted the house, so out of spite, here we are, revenge is best served cold. 😂 😂
If that was in NZ the site would have to be fenced off and someone would be on duty hosing down site to stop dust. And before that all asbestos containing materials would have been removed. Not a cheap exercise bowling a house.
Jethro cool name, anyway seeing this and watching what looks to be the owners kind of give's it away why they could do what they want and especially who they work for would definitely quit any city or county staff or osha. FBI , CIA Kind of thing.
For the people saying, "Why did they tear it down" consider this. Jerry Seinfeld bought Billy Joel's mansion in the Hamptons and tore it down. When asked why he did it he said, "Because I could". The owners wanted what they wanted.
I think the people complaining about how weak the house was don't quite realize how powerful these machines are.

They was stupid for tearing down that house

Tearing down such a nice house is disgustingly wasteful, I'm sure that house took a long time to build and was likely very solid.
All of this because of a spider..... you could have just called an exterminator.

that house looked nice
Guy in the blue shirt acts pissed. Maybe he's having second thoughts LOL.
Was that a smoke alarm going off in the house as it came down, also agree to saving windows and doors. Could pay for the fuel to run the excavator.😊
Is it the environment and/or safety the chimney is left standing?
what to watch? the demolition or the interaction & telling body language of the spectators in front of the house?
Cool
Thanks for posting.
That house looked to be in better shape than house behind it! OPP'S, knocked down Wrong house!?
Thahahahhaha

Me too.
And it never goes maybe bew house gonna be built around it
Bugs bunny lives in there
I'd love to know the story behind the demolition. Was it infested with something?
More than likely the land was worth more than the house. Demoing the obsolete house is cheaper.
