Excavator tearing down garage

[@rafaelbetancourt4748]

How much is the cost for demolition?? 20x20 garage

[@MadlySevered]

You should have just riped away the two load bearing post at the left garage door, the two load bearing posts on each side of the window, then stand perpendicular to the corner closest to the container with your maximum range, put your bucket up at the corner of the roof there and pull towards you. The whole garage would have just caved in on itself towards you (not the neighbours tree) And it would not have hit you since the lenght of your boom/arm is longer then the hight of the walls of the garage.

[@dirtriffs5472]

Then it would have collapsed toward the car port...

[@MadlySevered]

@@dirtriffs5472 na man, the distance between the garage and the carport is more then the hight of the walls, would not have hit the carport. if you pause at 0:23, and you see the upsidedown T crack in the asphalt there, the roof would have ended up at the "roof" of the T roughly.

Do you have to keep the pressure on the thumb when lifting the heavier stuff? Or does the thumb just lock in? Looks interesting!

[@BigAgitator]

Nice job. I'm going to do my first garage demo soon, for a friend. I'm doing it as a favor, so I'm going to take my time and try to learn as much as I can about demo

[@fuddmethen]

hip roof is the structure, little by little munch the roof into the walls to keep debris contained. Once cleaned out then collapse the sides, dumpster is in the wrong spot as well. You’re pieces are way too big, going cost you another dumpster can.

[@dirtriffs5472]

We ended up fitting it all in one...

[@mikeortiz568]

Always start by ripping and punching through the roof down and then push the walls in, that way you never breach the footprint. Always have a plan!

[@dirtriffs5472]

I did try pushing down on roof but just pushed walls around, Roof was quite strong, walls very flimsy with rot, like a brick on 4 stilts, if walls were not so flimsy that might have worked.

[@cd1168]

Super careful. Great job with nice machine. Do you run the dumpsters too?

[@dirtriffs5472]

No, subcontractor

[@johnm1294]

Nice content man. Keep it coming 👍🏼

[@davidnelson4019]

What a great content friend. The excavation is my favorite. Best regards from Norway.

[@AffordableplumbingNEPA]

What did you charge?

[@tkfg331]

I wonder what size excavator that is?

[@peterfreeman3299]

Need shorter ramp supports so the trailer can bounce down a little. Cool content

[@davecoombs6060]

You took all your support away by knocking out the wall's as much as you did, punching in the roof first w/ more walls standing would have kept everything in the foot print, but good job!

[@noeleendolan1173]

Noeleen assert the first one hood with you. Don't miss lover's wsher I was wondering how you are here, you wash car park is a good day at least a few

[@cesaraguilera1963]

I was going to say, the tree is insurance. It’s not a factor. But it worked for now

[@smrrecordspodcast]

What size dumpster was that?

[@dirtriffs5472]

22 yards

[@RiverValleyAcres]

What did you end up doing with the concrete?

[@fuddmethen]

never understood balancing off a trailer with your bucket smashing the hot top, curl in, walk off the beaver tail, and she’ll easily go right down the ramps

[@dirtriffs5472]

I’ll try it next time...

[@ccmch31]

What would be the cost of this demo with and without the concrete?

[@dirtriffs5472]

I believe it was 1500, homeowner took care of dumpster.

[@rodolfodelgado6733]

hey man, how much do you charge I'm going to be doing the same thing and I'm clueless how much to charge. by the job or the hours please help.

[@dirtriffs5472]

Sorry for late reply, I usually base it on the local competitive hourly rate, the time I think it will take me, and a small buffer…

[@nyaphoenix286]

How much did you charge for this job?

[@dirtriffs5472]

About 1500 not including dumpster

[@ytie138]

What type of machine is this and how much do they cost to rent in this Biden America 😅?

[@evilhypemyke7342]

If I was in the digger I would just drive through it

[@Dmoney2times51]

How much do u get paid to tear down houses and garages

[@dirtriffs5472]

Depends on amount of work, I’m still new so just doing it by the hour...

[@WaynesAdventure]
