I have seen you at that property several times in videos. Its neat keeping up with whats happening around the island. Never been but your videos realy show whats happening in the area. You cant get them all but you do have a impressive operation. You still got a neat video out of it. Appreciate all the updates from Indiana
Thanks Dave. We live next door at the Sandcaper can’t wait to see it gone, definitely going to miss it though many good times at the tiki. Wife and I actually signed our contract sitting at the bar. Keep the videos coming your doing a great job 👍
My wife and I stayed at this motel when it was a Holiday Inn, in 2011. Our 1st trip down to Ft. Myers Beach. We ended up buying a condo in the area, Not on the beach but a few miles away and had it until 2019 when due to health reasons we had to sell and stay in Illinois due to health reasons. I really enjoy your videos of how things are going on the Beach. We spent many an hour on the beach. Wish we could get back down there one more time but unfortunetly won't happen. Keep up the good work and videos.
So so sad to see it like this. My husband proposed to me on the beach there when it was the Holiday Inn, about 35 years ago. We stayed there many times over the years and loved the hotel's lovely simplicity, the fun tiki bar, and especially that beautiful, expansive beach. We loved taking our vacations down there (we live in Michigan), and were just devastated when Ian took away our happy place. 😢
HI Dave. I wasn't expecting to see you guys film another company's demo site, but I'm glad you did. Interesting to see how they've gutted the bottom floor. I've gotten to do bobcat work like that exactly one time, and I found the bobcat to be strangely harder to run than an excavator. Happy New Year!
I live across the street. Glad to see it comming down . My concern is whats going up. We at Island Pines are worried about losing our beach access as well as the view.
@removeitprosdemolition I have not . I know Burt the owner passed away over a year ago and his daughter inherent the property. I'm afraid it will be sold and a high rise will go up😭
I heard that Scientology bought the land and will be building a huge convention center for the religion.... With a huge picture of Tom Cruise on the sign out front lol
I'm really not sure what can be done with a piece of property like this. A condo building makes the most sense, but it is going to be expensive to build and condo prices are already crashing. Elevated housing? Perhaps, but what about the zoning issue? Good luck!
The new condos should be fine by the time they are built. My guess on best fit would be some sort of resort. The older buildings with under funding of reserves and 25 year inspections and repairs associated with the inspections. And of course the insurances increases in the older buildings. Condo fees and assessments are going to soar, most likely making condo prices come down. Unfortunately.
Have you thought about a spinoff channel for your reselling store? Like have 1 guy film random stuff in the store everyday. Heck you can bs for 10 mins about a 1970 industrial fridge. Could spin that into a tiktok/instagram 20 second clips and highlight eBay stuff.
Rats love to live in palm trees... probably pretty hard to keep them from nesting in them... unless you put some soap covered circular pieces of material around the bases... they're pretty good at climbing vertical surfaces also... utility lines can be a wonderful highway to infestation... they make plastic pieces that will actually hook on & rotate on utility lines
@@removeitprosdemolition My first visit to the south end of the island was in 1959. Holiday Inn wasn't built yet. The motel didn't have 100 ft of beach in front of it at first. Same thing all the way to the end of the island. That's why all those unexpected seawalls showed up after Milton. Are any of those old Santini pier pilings still visible? Ken
All that low flood land / beach property should just be turned into a park and let nature reclaim all that ridiculous concrete and asphalt. Our "developed" FL coastlines look like garbage these days.
Massive site. Massive demo.A rational person would think I wouldn't build anything on that beach again becasue next year will be even hotter and lots more nitro in the water for storms.

It was one of my happy places, too
@removeitprosdemolition i'm sorry for your loss

They are quite different. I love running bobcats.
@@removeitprosdemolition They are fun to run, but challenging. Do you remember your first time on one?

Are you serious?

I'll give that some thought

That’s a good idea! I heard they was an infestation. Once the machines started they probably headed out!!
It’s pretty wild he goes in someone else site filming
Bye bye Holiday Inn. I remember before you were born.
1964
@removeitprosdemolition I don't remember seeing it.

But then I would have to move. :(

Ninety nine percent of the time, it's perfect. Is that one percent that gets us.
@@removeitprosdemolition Its not 1% anymore.
