Dang, y'all got a lot of hate for taking care of business in an effective and timely way 👀 props to y'all for having a dream and being willing to share part of the process to get you there! We have a dilapidated single wide that we have no idea where to start in the demo process, so I'm scouring UA-cam for helpful videos like yours 🙏 F the nay sayers😉
That was done so methodically. Way to show how its done. You bite the bullet and spend three days dismantling an eye sore. I assume some of it was able to be stored as materials for another build while some of it was burnable and yet other stuff had to be hauled to the dump. Anyhow, I would have a hard time rebuilding an old double wide. they are always built poorly and rarely worth the trouble of fixing. most mobile homes are money pits that cost more to fix or move than they are worth. and if you polish an old turd like that, its still a turd. You made the right choice. That was 3 day tear down was done masterfully. Good for you.
In my time, I've completely torn down a 14x70 and repurposed have of a 14x60. Both were mouse motels. Mouse poop everywhere and the insulation was destroyed. One of the main problems with mobile home construction is they use a lot of glue. The inside paneling is glued and the subfloor is glued to the floor joists. They use a ton of tiny finishing nails and staples plus the glue makes it difficult to clean up and re use. I took half of a mobile home,put it on a 14x30 concrete slab, with a row of cement blocks around the outside edge. I leveled the building and built sections between the mobile walls and cement blocks, lowered the building and sheeted it up with osb.I started removing the subfloor in approximately 18 inch squares till the floor joist was clean and cut each one flush with the inside wall one each end. Some were crooked as heck but I saved them for another project. I had to get a building permit for this and it passed inspection. This was a 1 man job,seemed like it took forever. It was a lot of work.
We also have just purchased land and previous owner had already begun demolition, but apparently with no strategy. I've got to clean up his mess before continuing.
Home was fine. Could have remodeled into an awesome shed. Seemed like a waste of time to tear down by hand. Crane and dumpster would have made it much easier.
@@Abortabortgetouuuut I agree. I have one on my property. Im a 60 yo lady, my 50 yo friend is going to help me tear part of it off. One end is in excellent condition. I'm tearing off the end that isn't. Anything useable we're reusing to build a shed ✌️
Going to do this to my trailer on my land. I was going to try to renovate it but I was not happy with the way its constructed. So, I am deciding to demolish it. Probably will cut the frame down into small chunks and take it to the scrap yard and keep some of the lumber for my new house. My only question is how to demo the roof. Maybe I should do that first before tearing down the walls.
Went in a pickup i'm guessing you hauled it to the land fill your self? I gutted out my house my self and saved a lot of money that way. Land fill cost $20.75 a ton.
One of the most best and smartest demo of a home. Majority of dumbasses would take a sledgehammer and just start smashing things making more mess to clean up. I def prefer this method
@@tristanberecz8024 wow, I'm inspired. I have one to tear down and I've been dreading this. I've watched this over and over. I'm motivated and called my friend. Hopefully we will get started nxt week, she's got a project she's finishing up rn
You could’ve replaced the ceiling and done a little work and that house would’ve been perfect…. You had all those people standing in one spot in the floor no sagging… what a waste.
@@charlieretro The time and money spent on destroying this home could have been used to throw the local firefighters a really nice barbecue while they used it for "training purposes". Then the local recyclers can come clean up while taking the metal. One weekend and a perfectly good home is gone!
@@michaelfitzgerald8727 Because, unlike you, they didn’t just dismissively burn all materials, which now have been salvaged/repurposed. Given conditions - being located in the middle of a forest, a burn may have been the dumbest option conceivable! How about shutting your trap and respecting how they effectively and efficiently handled this project? They did an awesome job, despite your whining.
That was fun to watch but didn't look rotten to me. That mobile home was in pretty great condition considering
oddly satisfying as I sit at my kitchen table

This was awesome and inspiring to those of us dedicated to salvaging and repurposing more…filling landfills less.
Nice job. Bravo!
Oddly satisfying to watch.

Pretty cool! Glad my job is only half that size. :)
Dude, I’d love to see some more video’s of your work in progress

What kind of crane

You guys are absolute animals, loved the video
Wow good work, but with a work flow like that it seems like you could have remodeled that place and saved a ton of money.

Good job
How much did you make selling the frame for scrap?
How did yall do the roof? Middle supports first? Or did yall push it over with somethin?
Looks like that had a lot of water damage from a bad roof?
I have a single wide I need to do this too. Buy I work 65+ hours a week as it is. Need to get it done though.
Doing that alone at night… heck no not for me lol but anyway this was a really great video
I'm still not clear; how much if any was salvaged?
How long did this take?
You skipped the only part I actually need lol

Wow! Nice work, how long did this project take?
How much were dump fees and did they give you any hassle on asbestos
What did you use to break apart the bottom iron
👌👏👏👏👏👏
How long did it take ? I’m thinking about doing one myself
Not to long depending on how you do it start by going down to studs then roof then it will be faster
How many days or hours.
Also how many loads

I def prefer this method
Subscribed!
This was fun to watch. Couldn't tell exactly who everyone was but did David do a lot alone?
I wonder how long this took to take down?
it took us 3 days to tear it down
@@tristanberecz8024 wow, I'm inspired. I have one to tear down and I've been dreading this. I've watched this over and over. I'm motivated and called my friend. Hopefully we will get started nxt week, she's got a project she's finishing up rn
Could I do this to a double wide? They took all my copper out. I was just wondering can this be done?
You missed the final pull down!
Can you please make more video please
You could’ve replaced the ceiling and done a little work and that house would’ve been perfect…. You had all those people standing in one spot in the floor no sagging… what a waste.
This home would be great for some people like me, but to people with money it's a shithole. I agree, total waste.
@jon franklin your a bully it was not fixable

У меня только один вопрос - зачем?)
What an epic pain in the ass! lol 🎉
WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST BURN IT DOWN TO THE GROWN?? WOULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH FASTER
30 years ago you could have but now you sadly cant over laws and stuff.

@@michaelfitzgerald8727 who recycles burnt homes... hahaha..
That's what I'm trying to but I have to get it down so I can burn it because now while it's up old mobile home is to close to power line 😊
