Barn Teardown... What Could Go Wrong

Join along as we demolish the failed old shop. With aides falling in and moisture issue it was time for it to come down. Thanks to the Eklunds E60 bobcat excavator we get it tore down and sorted. Then time to start burning the wood. It makes for a long night with the material spreading the fire. Thanks for watching along.

It’s easy for someone to say that you’re doing it wrong but anyone that has ever done demolition knows that every project is a little different. Keep plugging away Duffy. You’re going to end up with a nice farm.

[@Otherrandomguy42]

He definitely had no clue you pull out all four wall corners then push it over sideways.

[@FreemanVashier]

He could have sold all that lumber at a decent price had he deconstructed it not destroyed it.... Yeah I get the building was unsafe, it could have been shored up while took it down.

[@Bpg5012trick]

​@@Otherrandomguy42 Is the Barn knocked down or still standing. If it's knocked down, then he has done the Job.

[@Otherrandomguy42]

@@Bpg5012trick there's a right and wrong way to do most things lmao this was definitely the hard and time consuming way to the same result.

[@jenslorenzen-fh3oe]

I understand you 100% but over here in Denmark they’re using ambulances roaming around town to take temperatures on people they reckon look like being on fire. That’s a waste of ambulances and they do it to test and calculate but honestly how stupid is this world going to be if they have to start out like that. A farmer know how to lit up and shut down a fire but not now thanks for digging into it with contents like this good craig lads.

[@dennisbelles9236]

Chris, for a guy that does not always run that machine, I'd say you did a very good job. Fell right where you wanted it. 👍

[@patrickaherne3598]

One criticism, Duffy, you didn't have any smores or marshmallows ready to go.

[@andrewread8370]

I like it when you look at 2.00 in the morning and it burning better then it did all day

[@OleRustyTractor]

Sure does clean up the yard … looks great

[@JoePasq]

Reading comments looking for all the demolition experts.

[@DickAnderson-k9y]

I’m right here. What do you want to know 😂 He should have started on the end so could have taken the tin roof off then pushed the wood into the center. Every demo expert knows that 😂

[@Otherrandomguy42]

Experts you don't have to be an expert to know how to do a lot better than this. I don't bash Chris a lot but the first thing you do is take all the windows out and every one of those old window frames there's women that do decor art that would have paid 100 bucks a piece for those wooden windows. You pull all four corners out then push it over then you can just run up and down the roof with it sitting on the ground strip all the steel off and he could have sold that for 10 bucks a sheet. 😂😂. Then you just light it on fire where it sits. An hour to take the windows out 20 minutes to go around to pulling all four corners out with excavator and push it over. an hour and a half to peel all the steel off the roof then light it fire.

[@Bpg5012trick]

​@@Otherrandomguy42 Maybe he should of saved all nails, saved the paint as well. You do what you do and Chris can do what he does, Mr Know it all, but not too much.

[@Bpg5012trick]

​@@Otherrandomguy42 No need for you to worry, you can make a video, to show what an expert you are , instead of all talk and no action.

[@Bpg5012trick]

​@@Otherrandomguy42 You can make a video, show what an expert you are in Demolition, I'm sure an expert like your self could take down a Skyscraper, in built up area by taking away all it's corners .

Little improvements here and there as your budget allows. 👍

[@stevewbeards]

Thats the way to do it. People with a life dont have time to pick through that shit. Its never worth your time. We did the same with a corn crib in worse shape.

[@guydaubenspeck9206]

I have a friend that's a contractor he has a very powerful magnet on wheels on a stick. We've done roofing projects and still on around here and then use that afterwards to sweep up the nails that it works incredibly well. Magnet is very very powerful and you don't lose any we've never hold a tire from a roofing job,. That would be right my recommendation on how to solve that problem

[@phillipdickinson8557]

Chris it's gone so it's gone level it and build a turn around good job

[@SbrGrendel65]

Tetanus Shot is 10 years and that’s what water hose is good to have do you can hit the areas that got hot. You can also put the small piles out. But glad you got rid of that useless building. A Hoop Building would be good to store hay. You just want it out of the sun/rain and build up the bottom off the ground. You’ll need to figure out how to find all the nails 😂 or you and other trucks aren’t gonna like the turn around

[@TheRealJesseStoltzfus]

I’m sure all the metal in that building is magnetic. Wheeled magnets are a dime a dozen these days.

[@willianvos3521]

He has a magnetbroom in the shop. Or someone could come with a magnetfishing or metaldetector

[@davidandrews2306]

yes your silos are next.they;re usele ss about time you did something RIGHT ?

[@whiskerrub3821]

Duffy what are you doing can’t believe you didn’t save the nails, you know on cold days in the winter you could have spent time straightening them! 😂😂😂 We have something called a burn notice that you call into and inform them of the fire, it protects you from anyone calling the fire department and incurring the expense of the fire call out, not sure if there is something similar in your neck of woods. Take care stay safe! 👍

buy or build a bale roof, open style. Also hopefully you told your local fire station about the purposeful burn.

[@georgemccoy5028]

Nice! Always good to see old decrepit buildings go to make way for a new future for your farm. You are getting rid of an eyesore and a liability as a property owner. I was very impressed how quickly that mini excavator had it down (of course I realize the video was edited!!). Opens up lots of possibilities for you.

[@dannystubblefield5478]

get you a Harbor freight rolling magnet -get the mid priced one -mine works great-nails and screws no problem

[@gerrylee4907]

he has one.

[@peteparker7396]

I’d invest in an Amazon magnet on wheels. Cheaper than fixin tires.
