Really glad you had someone willing to take one of the buildings. It would make a great shop. Shame you have neighbors so close.

[@williambryant5946]

Chris needs get one of the small 4 wheeled offroad dump trucks to have around the farm and for small jobs where tracking back and forth with the skid steer takes so long. This would have been a good use for it. Glad the building wasn't torn up and went to someone that could use it. 👍

Looking great and with the other shed gone it's going to be awesome.

Believe me I’m a dog lover and have 4, all spoiled but obedient! Since I retired they love having me home all day long! Boy, you’re making short work outta of that slab brother! Good job!

[@RonSales]

Wished I was down there i would take the other shed as is on my trailer and haul it home to repair.

[@johntucker803]

That concrete foundation with the wall footers would have made a great wash pad for your equipment.

[@calvinjutila8270]

When I was dispatching concrete, the salesman radioed in to report on the condition of a job with inexperienced workers. "You won't slip, but you might trip"!

Chris, it might be too late but you should follow in whistlin’s footsteps and mulch that shed!!!

The Yanmar works good it seems. Any updates from the Volvo?

Good save of the building! An additional shop will be awesome! A perfect barrier from the neighbors that keep moving in close by!

Chris that was a pretty easy cleanup compared to what you’ve done in the past! Thanks for sharing. Kevin

Use that old concrete for fish habitat in another pond.

Got to tell ya Chris, you add a whole new dimension to the phrase " work smarter, not harder"

Great video letsdig. I've always been fascinated by excavators and stuff like that. For me, these types of videos define the word quality. Keep at it mate

[@urbanstd1]

I guess I missed the video where neighbors moved in close to you. I thought you had a few hundred yards between you and neighbor. I enjoy the content, really enjoy watching your attention to detail and operator skills.

[@KipdoesStuff]

I'm so jealous. Every time I drive by a mini I think to myself, 'Damn you Chris'. Girlfriend says I can't rent one just to dig a hole and fill it back in again.

[@jakemoeller7850]

It's nice to see somebody salvage a building instead of demolish. 👍🏻👏👍🏻

All I kept thinking was DAMN I wish that backhoe had a thumb!!!! 😂🙄😄 Great job Chris 👍

Such a lack of drama compared to taking down a single wide. And no left behind "toys".

[@korycrandall3624]

I watch all your videos that pertain to what I would want to do later in life and I love them! I tear out concrete for a living. Good video. Keep doing what you do!

[@jonathanlanglois2742]

When I was young, I used to live with my parents on a military base. Friends of my parents moved and they ended up giving their old shed to us. It was moved using a front end loader. It literally picked it off with long forks and moved it to our yard. The same was done with a deck. The floor was rotted pretty bad and had to be reconstructed, but with a bit of work, that shed was solid.

[@robertrockwell7581]

really surprising too see how easy the concrete did come up. looks like no rebar. nice work.

[@465maltbie]

That looks like some pretty thick concrete, thanks for sharing. Charles

[@jimshoe6828]

Well Chris, I have to say that was really good planning on your part to not put any rebar in the concrete, makes it way easier to break up when you take it back out 😉😁

[@kittty2005]

[@johnblake3863]

I like that ya'll could recycle that building! Nice job of moving those panels, too.

[@patrickcolahan7499]

Very nice. Will be really nice to have a place for all your equipment, a shop to work on them and to hide the neighbors. We are looking at a 3-5 acre retirement home and I want my shop back. Debating whether to get a front loader tractor with three point (great for mowing, maintenance and such), a backhoe (great for construction, ditch work and road maintenance) or a skid steer (construction, road maintenance and maybe mowing). While I would like to have more than one, will have to settle on the most versatile and then just rent specific machines when needed. Thanks for sharing Chris.

Yessir !! Chris on Wheels :) Fascinating Deere, good job !!

[@johnpyle8027]

Couple of things I took away from the video. I didn't know the backhoe had that much ass! It gave me shivers and took me back to the Animal Hospital when you started picking up that concrete and dropping it to break it and finally, I got an idea for a project. On the corner of my property I have two pipes under the road that meet and makes mowing a pain! I have been thinking of a way to use blocks, rock, stack sakrete bags and wet them, build concrete forms or anything to build a basin to catch the water and back fill to raise the problem corner. I think I am going to form 4x8 with 2x8s on my driveway with plastic under it and rebar inside it and fill it up with concrete leaving rebar hoops sticking out. I only need two. That way I can rent the machine, dig and square up the corner and use the machine to haul and set the concrete panels.

[@chyraxion]

man that lil mini is coming freaking handy dandy shes a nice unit

[@MrsTnRebel]

Great job even though you were missing a digit... aka a thumb... how many times did you wish you had one while breaking up that concrete. Pretty efficient even without one... work with what you got.. Right?

[@r1mein54]

Quite the Demo job. That was a good way to recycle a usable building - will make a nice shop. Dropping a piece to break others just like on the Rock Hill Animal Clinic Site. There is just no good way to overfill a backhoe bucket. Good job [ with help from your friends].

[@ColinDH12345]

Maybe the camera setup, but that hydraulic while would drive me crazy. Interesting video and I am now a binge-watcher.

Your neighbors have all that acreage and they still put two mobile homes right near your property line fence. If you had more room you could put giant dirt berms to block them.

[@woodcrestwoodworkingnc]

I know exactly what that is like. In 2009 myself, my dad and a friend took apart and moved a 16x24 building with nothing but hand held power tools and a comealong on the flat bed trailer. We did have a tractor on the other end to help with the unloading. I would have loved to have been able to reframe the roof on the ground and have an excavator put it up on the building...
