    They did a good job! Silas remember pluck all those trees out away from the buildings.. Rubber roof will last longer and also those trees will upset the concrete in future.. better to get rid of them all now while small.

    I can’t believe I was actually fascinated to watch a building getting demolished in a junkyard!
    My hat’s off to the operator of this excavator, the way he peeled the metal off that roof, peeled the wood off, and demolished those concrete block walls without damaging that other building.
    It’s awesome the finesse he had in operating that big machine!
    That requires great skill!👍👏

Seeing one who is smart and safe as well makes it a truly rewarding experience to see. I am glad you hired one who could do all four things Silas. I was thoroughly impressed. I am excited to see what new opportunities this opens up for you and your Dad now. Money spent wisely. Keep doin' yer doin'! Big fan from western Canada here.

    I feel ya on wanting to repurpose everything, I work in a small trash dump, we haul exclusively for the film studios and television production companies. Hollywood is very wasteful and we try to recycle all we can and give as much away as we can but plenty of folks say "Oh I want that!" and we say "sure, come get it, bring your friends and we'll even load it for you" but they never show and it's off to the incinerator or the landfill. We can't save it all.

    Where I live houses and buildings are constructed from hollow blocks, with rebar inside. The floors and roofs are poured concrete with rebar. I think it's to make them typhoon proof. I could have knocked your building down by myself with a sawzall and a big hammer. It would have taken way longer though. When I was a little, us kids job was to pull all the nails out of the wood from tearing down old barns and other buildings. Put the nails in a bucket, and stack up the wood.

    Oh my goodness! I can't imagine what that cost you to have that torn down AND hauled away. But I totally agree, sometimes it is so worth the cost to have someone else do it for safety, time and expertise. It will be over soon enough. I do enjoy watching things being torn down. You'll have some money back in scrap, you do know a scrap yard you can use 😉 😁 An end of one Era and the beginning of another one. Thanks for letting us enjoy it as well. Stay safe and GOD bless

    Demolition has Started - the old Building will be torn down - a bid sad as it was part of the 1950's History of the Site - but You will gain a Huge Area for Processing Cars etc ! These Contractors done a Splendid Job for sure - all what is now to be seen is the Concrete Floor and that will be very handy to You ! Great that You getting Your Loader Locally Serviced ! Great Video - Great Drone Views ! Many Cheers from us in Australia !!!!

    Hi Silas... i have been watching your videos for a while. hearing you talk about the "thumb" on the excavator, i took a closer look at the bucket and thumb. I work on building the buckets and attachments here in Findlay Ohio . Each item we make has a "WB" on the side of it . the place is called WERK BRAU, and we also make car forks and many other things. I'm glad to see the things i help make in action take care and keep crushing

    Thanks Silas! At first I thought you were crazy to tear this down, but now it's clearer to see that it would be impractical even if you rebuilt the roof with a slope and raised the floor, still only would have access to the street. They made fast work of it, you did well with the drone footage.

    Silas that tin was just waiting for the right gust of wind.
    I love how that op knew where every tooth on that bucket was. Picking the blocks out one by one by the stairs....
    Show off!
    Many years ago in the late 70s I worked at a Cat dealer. There was a huge excavator in one of the bays. On occasion fog would roll in off the river and hang about 3 to 4 foot off the floor in the shop and this was one of those mornings. I came into the shops early before the wrenches got there and turned on the lights. I came around the corner and there was this huge head with menacing eyes, teeth bared ready to devour any human soul that dared enter...
    at least that's what my stomach said as it tried to get my attention over the hair on my head standing up!
    With my heart slowly returning to normal it struck me funny as a tough kid like me, standing in chest deep fog, in half light (dang near dark, ok?) all by my bad azz self, about to let the contents empty from my bladder!
    I did hurry to turn on the lights in the tool crib where I worked as the night watchman came laughing to the window. He was a good friend and had painted those eyes with florescent paint and waited to plug in that black light just as I came around the corner.
    Hey, those eyes were really realistic, ok?
    We used to run our other makes of machinery down the road to the respective dealers when we got trade-ins. Those tires on the loaders and pans would bounce at speed. Most would set on a front to rear bounce, a quick stomp on the brakes would stop that. But sometimes you would get the corner to corner rotation that would make a sea captain sick. Then there was the hop, where the machine felt like it was trying to leap over a huge jump rope.
    I really miss working on and operating those big machines, at least the ones before all the electronic stuff. I'm just old fashioned I think.
    That slab is going to be a great asset for processing cars. Tools can be secured in the building next door.
    Take care of yourself Silas.
    Cheers
    Terry
