Mini Excavator & Dump Trailer Garage Demolition

[@billroberts3864]

We like your descriptive commentary as it gives us an idea of what you are thinking as you demo a garage. Blessings to you.

Awesome job. That looks like a lot of fun to do

[@johnfahey7215]

This is a good example of it ain’t always “Smash and Trash!”

[@mcsawmill]

Good video! I like watching you destroy stuff lol...

[@zaccheus]

Lol, thanks for that feedback, George. I have a whole house on the schedule for next week. Debating about whether or not it's worth filming.

[@mcsawmill]

@@zaccheus definitely film it!

Hopefully the hydro is not still connected 😂😂

It's Sunday and I thought sure I'll watch a demo video by you. Hey, I haul 5-7k in my dump trailer with my 2019 Ford Ranger and one thing I do when I go to dump a big load of logs is I put the parking brake on and put the truck in neutral. This way the tranny is being jolted in park and the rear brakes take the force. If on a grade, I throw down wheel chocks.

[@zaccheus]

Thays an excellent idea. I believe the fellas using the trailer had a single wheel chock. We probably should have had more 😅

Nice Work

[@harryjones8952]

Variety of jobs will keep the money flowing and that’s important 🎉🎉😂😂😂

One beep for stop is the standard in my line of work. If you accidentally bump the horn and someone stops, that probably won't cause an accident. Accidentally one beeping someone to move could easily result in bad things happening.

[@zaccheus]

That's an excellent line of thought. Thank you for sharing that!

[@ClellWise]

As expected and as usual, good stuff. You ever think of giving us some bloopers, outtakes, uh-ohs? Might be fun. Might be you're so good you don't ever have any. Just a thought. As always...stay safe buddy!

[@zaccheus]

Haha no, I have lots. Maybe I'll have to start keeping them and put them all together in a collection

[@brandon-rustystreecare]

The horn is so universal 😂 like crane signals almost everyone who works with a crane knows them

[@MrEvanb93]

Hey dude you do a lot of Grcs work. I got a job coming up where I’m cutting down a group of trees on a hillside and a tall pine tree is at the top of group closest to the driveway where I’m chipping the wood. My plan is to send the other tree tops and wood tip tied to the pine tree and use the Grcs to lift them to the pine. My question is is do you think I should butt tie the tops and trunk wood as well to the tree I’m cutting or just send them to the pine and crank them to it with the Grcs. Haha don’t know if that makes sense to you but yeah I’m thinking to butt tie them as well to control the wood better I just don’t wanna create to unnecessary forces

[@zaccheus]

I think I can imagine the set up you have. I think your biggest concern will be some loading that pine. How much side load it has will depend on the angle that the rope is loaded at. I say let them swing. Start small amd watch how the pine behaves. If you feel like you can do more, do it. Just stop making the pieces bigger before you break the pine 😂

[@toomanytrees218]

Can’t believe they pay you to have that much fun. That went preferably. I want to do that now.

[@zaccheus]

Haha I know right! Just requires someone with a little know how and the willingness to take some risk

[@ericharris893]

Think it’s all fun and games huh?

@@ericharris893 except it’s not desk work. It looks satisfying. I know it’s gotta be a pain in the rear but the video makes it look easy and fun. I was joking when I said that I can’t believe they pay you to have so much fun, and I believe the original poster knows that.

[@Zogg1281]

I was just wondering if you've ever thought about getting a grapple type attachment for your mini digger? I have seen some that have a wider thumb then yours and a similar one in the place of the bucket. They have the bonus of being able to scissor past each other to break up material a LOT more effectively then the setup with the bucket. You probably wouldn't even need the bucket for most of a job like this one and possibly only need it for the final clean up for the site

[@zaccheus]

Yeah, I've looked into getting a hydra grapple. They're a bit expensive, but being able to rotate the grapple would be areally handy, too.

[@bobaverage]

I want that Beemer!

[@zaccheus]

I know, me too. I later spoke with the fella but he wasn't interested in selling it yet. Had the 6 cylinder in it.

[@bobaverage]

Noice!

[@aamericanfence]

How much did you charge?

[@zaccheus]

@aamericanfence I was a sub for this job so I just charged hourly.

[@robertvannicolo4435]

Zach hourly is good on job like that getting paid if something goes wrong. More debris then estimated dumpster delays ect. Around here 9 to a grand a day mini with operator. Depending on length of day

[@WaynesAdventure]
