Let’s wreck this dump!!! Demolishing A Home Devastated By Fire

I used my excavator and dump truck to to demolish a double wide trailer and haul away to the land fill. All while being harassed by a gopher!!!

I enjoy every one of your videos, but something about demolition is even more fun!

[@digginlifedeeper3670]

Great to hear Carson!!! Hopefully there will be plenty more demo to come

[@EliTheDieselGuy]

I like how you crunched down that small metal shed like it was a pop can! Diggn Life!

[@tristardiggin]

🐿️ closest I could find to a gopher! 😂

[@digginlifedeeper3670]

That’s perfect hero!!!

[@AnomadAlaska]

My dog caught her first ground hog last summer. She threw it around and played patty cake with it. Had no idea it was good dog food.

​@@digginlifedeeper3670 We typically have 3 to 7 tons per load on our demo jobs. In order to get more in the truck you have to handle it 3 or 4 times instead of twice. Hard to calculate what's more efficient, handling the material less cycles or making more trips....

[@michaelkoon8371]

[@zanedaugherty5564]

Everyone has their own ideas about "warm-ups" on equipment, but I'm pretty firm that you should do a high idle first thing in the morning. Like 900 to 1100rpm depending on what it is but it really helps in getting that oil flow moving. I've always been told to not let your engine just sit at idle on first starts. They even taught that to us in tech school. Either way, I'm learning a ton watching your videos. You can find all kinds of videos of people operating equipment but hardly any of them actually explain the why, how, or when to do certain actions. The ditches at the ranch I work at actually move water now!!! Lol

[@digginlifedeeper3670]

Glad to be of help Zane!!! Thanks for watching

[@bradnavratil5502]

If there was a class in school I would have gotten 💯% in it. As a young boy I loved reckin things 😃 and still do lol😎

Todd I shore enjoy your videos I watch them over and over love watching you operate the skidsteer and extvater

[@digginlifedeeper3670]

Thank you brother

[@jayheron1135]

Enjoy watching your videos. Trying to get started myself.

[@digginlifedeeper3670]

[@joewiseman1539]

I think you should let the gopher do a little operating on the 309 😂😂😂

[@digginlifedeeper3670]

Not a bad idea Joe!!!

Those gas station hot dogs might be what’s wrong with your gut. Hopefully it’s nothing serious!

[@digginlifedeeper3670]

Very possible Shane!!!

[@jaybrooks2502]

Great job buddy! Just was wondering how you calculate charges for a job like this?

[@digginlifedeeper3670]

I charge by the hour plus dump fees

[@LawrenceTessier]

Forgot to add thanks for sharing the little oops and showing that you are human, nothing in life is perfect

[@digginlifedeeper3670]

So true!

[@mbeck9680]

Nice cleanup job!

[@Scott-cu8nf]

In my area, it costs $20/ton for yard debris and $55/ton for building debris. Metal, appliances, and concrete are no charge.

[@digginlifedeeper3670]

Man Scott!!! That’s some good rates!!!

[@bp5558]

Out here on the coast of NC, its about $65/ton

[@ColdPotato]

Now this is interesting. As in how to deal with buying property with a home on it that is pretty much gone that you need to remove. I've always been curious about this. Also as in what if there's a septic tank some place?

[@digginlifedeeper3670]

There was a septic. It’s usually easy to tie into the old line when the new house is built

[@bp5558]

Remember to have it checked and pumped prior to seeking your construction permit

[@kevingardner4737]

Great video as always, watch out for that gopher!

[@digginlifedeeper3670]

Thanks Kevin!!! That whistle pig has got it out for me

[@rottmanthan]

i have a sewing machine of that style, looks like a singer but i think its a look alike from china or somewhere. still cool looking. came from my grandfathers house. i also have my grandmothers pedal singer sewing machine in its cabinet with with 4 drawers per side. as you may have figured they didnt live together at that time.

[@digginlifedeeper3670]

They are cool old machines

[@jacobbuckley8232]

What caused the fire? Are the owners rebuilding?

[@digginlifedeeper3670]

I’m not sure Jacob. The owners of the burnt trailer sold the property. I’m cleaning up for the new owners. There are several free standing wood stoves inside. I’ve got a feeling that contributed

[@bp5558]

Sounds like an opportunity for the new owners to sell some abandoned property or install a wood stove in their new house or shop, properly, of course

If I understood you right did you say $15 a ton we pay $53 a ton in Virginia
