Demolishing a MANSION: Everything Goes This Time!!

[@HomeWreckerBrian]

Hey guys, what was your favorite part of the demolition? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

[@AaronLoizeaux]

anytime glass breaks.

[@playtimeisdone8490]

You’re ripping out an Inaba Shidare Japanese Maple tree (which is quite expensive)…and calling it an ugly bush! 😂😂😂

[@Heelman73]

@@playtimeisdone8490just blissfully ignorant. They have no clue the worth of some of the things they destroy. Hell, sell it on the side for spending cash. Don’t destroy everything

[@AaronLoizeaux]

@@Heelman73 expensive yes but if you cant afford to move it... then is it woth anything

[@Heelman73]

@@AaronLoizeaux all you have to do is list it. Someone would have gladly come dug it up and taken it away.

[@mgenigma5]

I'm excited! I was waiting a while for this post. It brings me back in time to childhood watching demolition with my dad and waiting to see the glass smash and the objects inside break.

[@kurthuck2630]

That job taking down houses looks to be a very satisfying job! Wish I could do that for a living! You can definitely see the newer construction is so much cheaper than the old way with 2x6 roof rafters, cheap and fast is the new way of construction! Sad…..

[@bigbadboodah]

That kitchen could have been donated. What a waste.

[@jimcollins3411]

Before I retired I was a building contractor and it was great to get to build a new house . I always liked it when we could remove a building and being the boss I could just sit and watch the subcontractor do his part of ripping it apart . Just as much fun as building something in it's place . I always told the owner if he can give any usable stuff away then have at it before we started . After we start then nobody gets on the property and in our way , to much danger having them there .

[@playtimeisdone8490]

3:40 - Brian, I thought for sure you would save that massive door with the heavy hardware! @ 11:00 that is a great shot of the excavator framed against the remains of the house.

[@HomeWreckerBrian]

Nah, I gotta garage full of that stuff already. It was pretty cool though.

[@playtimeisdone8490]

@@HomeWreckerBrian I need to come rummage through your stuff! 😊

[@wvello2265]

Great video! I really enjoyed the deck/wine room demo. Slow and steady and nothing went down the hill 😀😀

[@CA-lk6fd]

It’s always cool to me to watch destruction! I’m an electrician, we wired a new Mission Barbecue where a Pizza Hut used to be. We just happened to be at the site when they tore it down. They let our local fire department use the building for training which was pretty cool. They left the tables, chairs, and a lot of furnishings in the building. Nothing about that old building was worth saving. I enjoyed watching this!!!

[@mackhopper]

Another great video, Brian! Oooooh, I need to come get those old mushroom light fixtures in the gardens. Those are the old copper ones! I need to repurpose those babies!!! 😊

[@leecarey4375]

Nice video! You know, you could film loading the trucks.....doubling our viewing pleasure!

Mature Japanese maple tree “ugly bushes”. 😂

[@Lunar_Capital]

Plant native ;)

[@Heelman73]

@@Lunar_Capitaldefine native. And if the plant is not invasive, what’s the problem?

[@Lunar_Capital]

@ Native as in any plant that has evolved with (your) local ecosystems. Planting native creates biodiversity, attracting pollinators and birds that benefit both parties; plants and animals. Cultivated plants non-native or bred cultivars are sterile and have almost no benefits other than maybe being CO2 syncs. They also could be the invasives of tomorrow, depending on what is chosen.

[@Heelman73]

@@Lunar_Capital good, now that I know you can copy and paste a Google search. Your original comment is irrelevant to my statement. There’s no need in destroying a perfectly good Japanese maple that many people would gladly pay for. It’s just stupidity at its finest.

[@Lunar_Capital]

@ Wow you thought I just copy and pasted that from Google? I must be pretty good. I never said to rip out what you got, planting natives along with ordainmentals will be just as beneficial compared to if you did rip out what is present which would be pointless extra work. LAWNS however can go, theres nothing more stupid than manicuring a carpet of grass because its “uniform” and “seamless”. Otherwise, i have two Japanese maples in my front lawn that came with my house that I adore, one is the shrubby ones like the one mentioned, one being the actual tall growing trees. I would never cut them down just because.

[@mikedalton4697]

I have been checking for part two video. That's a pretty good size wine cellar.

[@Courrier-Six]

It was a great destruction, still great to watch. 🎉

[@MaxZomboni]

I can't say I'm heartbroken watching this. I may be the only one, but I have never been impressed by McMansions. If somebody gave it to me, I would tear it down too.

[@jimsmith9819]

11:30 when the roof collapsed

[@voiceofjeff]

Just like the other commenter, I thought this house looked like Mike Brady designed it. It had a very "Brady Bunch" appearance to it. Did Alice leave anything in her closet before she left?

[@HomeWreckerBrian]

Damn!! I forgot to check the closet 😂

[@danabe3220]

Do the Brady's know you did this?

[@HomeWreckerBrian]

🤣🤣

[@Christopher_Samuel-i7o]

The interior looked in very good condition, why was the house demolished?

[@reverendtfg6802]

Love your videos

[@HomeWreckerBrian]

Thank you so much! I’ve got some really awesome stuff coming up that you're really going to love!!

[@Eddiez]

Is there a reason that you don't salvage the kitchen, front doors, bay windows and cedar siding? It breaks my heart to see so much waste.

[@Failure_Is_An_Option]

I didn't see salvage in the title, the job, nor the company.

[@RayCamacho-m2e]

I bet that excavator is fun to operate once you know the controls.

[@daewooparts]

Seems like you don't separate the scrap metal, copper, aluminum & brass from the trash

[@davidhamann1300]

what a waste! so much could have been salvaged and reused; doors, cabinets, windows...

[@oifivguy]

Nice clip, does it ever cross your mind that there are salvageable items like from this house, or have you reached the point where it is just business and the house/structure goes to the dump? Just curious.

[@lucasskripek6956]

I love discovered it all and I love exivater I have one

[@1944robbo]

irTypical of America, where people have so much money, they just destroy everything and build anew! Why not have a sale weekend where people come, pay for some of the beautiful fittings that were in the house, like the kitchen, and take them away to improve their own home, instead of just crushing everytthing?

[@Heelman73]

This isn’t representative of the norm in America. Most people would have done exactly as you described.

[@antharro]

Aha, part two! Good to see the job finished. Someone can now build a decent house on that plot. I do wonder though - if I remember, you guys are in Washington State. I'm pretty sure WA requires proper recycling of refrigerant, so were the fridge and A/C unit de-gassed before ending up in the scrap pile?
