Tearing Down The Concrete Block Building

[@ahwootton5]

Nice work Brandon, love the green sweeping brush attachment.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you! Lol worked pretty good I usually use a mattress but I didn’t find one there.

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

Finally… a use for cedar saplings!

[@darrenblattner2508]

The tree sweeper was a classic. Keep smilin

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thanks! 😁 appreciate you watching

[@derrickpettit3489]

Good work bud, good idea with that pine sweeping the concrete, haha, 2150 made quick work of that trash, thanks for sharing man 💪🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thanks man! It’s a beast of a machine! Appreciate you watching

[@dansevern3291]

Loved the "cedar tree whisk broom!" Great idea.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

It worked great! 😁

[@stevendegonia]

Looks like it's time for new sideboards on Dad's rig! Ol' Cedar Broom was a nifty idea! 😂👍

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Yes lol it’s in bad shape. I think he has more at the shop. It worked pretty well. Appreciate you watching

[@jefft7915]

Awesome intro and I loved the bush at the end used as a broom.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thanks man! I usually use a mattress to do the sweeping but I couldn’t find one there lol

[@jakeduffin4626]

Great intro! I totally agree with you, that stinks to get to the landfill and then have to deal with the load hanging up in the truck. Then, you have to hope the guys at the landfill have some equipment to dig it out for you or do it by hand. I would hate to see your dad have to fight that battle. Great video! It is so much better than watching the Superbowl! Thank you for sharing the video, quantities of debris removal, and information with us!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you! Yep that’s what I was worried about much better to load a touch less and have it come. I appreciate that! I’m not a football fan either lol. Appreciate you watching

[@jakeduffin4626]

@@eliteearthworksllc your welcome! Anytime Brandon! Lol, I understand, I just never did get into foot either!

[@tristardiggin]

The 2150 didn't even break a sweat. Nice work!!! 👍

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Nope it’s an animal! 💪🏻

[@sargentslaughter3509]

The tearing down part is the best part, l think.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

I agree!

[@dirtguy6537]

Glad to see your getting bigger jobs with the 2150 Brandon.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thanks man! Me too makes me feel better than just having it sitting there lol

[@bobgrier3103]

Different. Enjoyable. Nice change from usual stuff.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you! I appreciate that!

Awesome job Brandon.

Thank you!

Great job Brandon

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you!

[@sonnyblazer5504]

Yeah, like everyone else, "LOVE THE INTRO"! It started and in a minute I had to check the channel I clicked on! GLAD you had fun tearing down and sorry you guys had to clean it up, but hey, ya know! DIRT BRUTE made a nice BARN DOOR on his DUMP MOBILE. Too bad it wasn't easier to have the gate open at the bottom also! THANKS!!!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thanks! I thought it made for a fun intro. I remember seeing that. Appreciate you watching

[@timmymalone5444]

Looking good.😁

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you!

[@Dirtdaddy953]

Gotta love some demo work!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Oh yes it’s fun!

[@bluesfool1]

That looks like a lot of fun!!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

It’s a lot of fun!

[@tlaubner]

You did an Awesome job! Its always nice to change things up every once in a while. I have a cousin that owns a small excavation business in Florida and he just recently started demolishing old homes. He said it kinda therapeutic to demo an old house every now and then.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thanks! It is very therapeutic I enjoy it! Thanks for watching

[@brianwebber7168]

A typical house is 8 to12 20-25 yd semi trailer loads. 2-6 tons per load. Hoarder houses and when everything is left behind are the worst. Hauling demo is fun until you arrive at the landfill, then it becomes real. Such wonderful sights and smells 🤣

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Cool thanks man that is good to know. Oh I bet 🤢 that’s a smell you don’t get use too 🤣

[@jimcrawford7111]

Glad to see you sweeping up after the mess you made.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

🤣🤣 got to keep it tidy

[@junehunk1]

Fun watching,like the broom you used,stay safe.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you! It worked pretty well lol.

[@scrhino40]

Looking good. Didn't stand a chance. Have a great day be safe.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you! It took it down pretty easy

[@sparky178]

This would have been the perfect job for Mrs. E, you could have set up a lawn chair with an adult beverage and supervised 🍺😆

[@eliteearthworksllc]

🤣🤣 no kidding! I like that idea

[@dalepremo3695]

Ditto on the Intro and nice drone shots, too. Beautiful day. Hey, was that my old BoomBox I saw there? I suppose it's with your GoPro7 by now!!!!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

🤣🤣 that was a nice boom box. Appreciate you watching

[@dirtdayz2313]

Great video! Still trying to land my first demo job. Looks like a nice break from slinging dirt! Thanks again for sharing how you do it!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you! It was fun definitely a nice change of pace. Appreciate you watching

[@mackhopper]

Great video!!! I love how it started. Action packed! Not my style, but I am sure you could’ve gotten some good money for that door, with all of these people who are adding these types of doors to their barn-styled or “farmhouse” home renovations. That thing had “character!”

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you! I appreciate that. That is true

[@mikenixon9164]

Good video.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thanks!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Thank you!

[@blackdogexcavator21]

I love my little E35 but man, it would be nice to have as much power and reach as you have with the 2150. That machine is nice. Great job brother.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

It’s a joy to run. So smooth and quick! I’m spoiled now 🤣

[@bobbrinkerhoff3592]

Great job guy , not only does the wife now realize that you can pick up after yourself , but you also know how a broom works , you sir are toast ! Lol .

[@eliteearthworksllc]

🤣🤣 maybe I shouldn’t have showed that 😁

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

I thought you were coming to get the camera at first! I could have used that barn door track! I’m gonna put one in my shop and use it as a painting partition. Slide it out of the way when I don’t need it. Next time… there’s alway hope for the next time!! That thumb and bucket work great for chomping up dry lumber… if you install a throat behind them… you could just let the Koochie chew and eat. Might save on landfill fees!!! Are you going to take out the concrete? I thought you mentioned wanting some for a fill job you had. Gonna warm up for a few days…. Enjoy it before the rain!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Dang sorry if I would have known I would have saved it for you. Yes I took the concrete out the next day it came out pretty easy. Sounds like Wednesday evening and Thursday are going to be a bust. Appreciate you watching

[@brunomckay1875]

Pleased you left the concrete pad and didnt tear it up, great flat and dry place to store material and equipment on when re-building, it can always come out later. Good vid mate.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

That was my thinking but the homeowner had me tear it out the next day. I guess it’s where the new house is going. Thanks for watching

[@LLImprovement]

Demolition jobs have to be one of the most fun, for the first few minutes. lol

[@eliteearthworksllc]

I agree! The clean up gets kind of old 🤣

[@alwayshungry24]

wow. its amazing how some people build stuff and they get away with it. i have experience in brick laying and that my friend was built all kinds of wrong. probably a home owner seeing it on face book. 4inch block and not 8. the joints are suppose to be staggered. joint in row 2 is suppose to be half the block length of row 1. i could go on but wont. glad your tearing it down bud. great vid.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

That’s what I was thinking I’ve never seen one with the joints not staggered. Definitely a weak design. Lol I agree a novice must have built it. Thanks for watching

[@barryhansen6854]

@@eliteearthworksllc I was going to say something but this guy covered it all I'm amazed that it was standing must have been the roof trusses holding it together, don't know how he got them up there without knocking the walls over.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

@@barryhansen6854 exactly the roof must have been all the strength. It’s crazy they built it that way

[@barryhansen6854]

@@eliteearthworksllc I'm amazed that they got away with it, no building inspector I suppose.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

@@barryhansen6854 yeah I doubt they had one. It was a ways out of town

[@johnmcclelland5265]

Who built that block. Astonishing!

[@eliteearthworksllc]

I have no idea 🤣

[@bh8060]

Cool stuff...I need to demolish an old cinder block building and foundation, 3000 sq ft building... lots of concrete. Between equipment rental or hire out, demo, haul off and dump fees I dont see a way to keep this project under $25 grand. Plus, if its anything like my other projects it'll cost me twice as much as I budget for. Any better methods or tips to keep costs down and make this thing disappear?

[@eliteearthworksllc]

If you had an area on site where you could dump the stuff that would help. I’ve even smash the blocks with the excavator before and used that for a sub base on a drive way. Demo is just expensive that’s the bad part about it

[@kidhenderson8260]

Some of those little trees are tougher than the big ones....thats whatIi have found...LOL

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Yes they are! Thanks for watching

[@Wolfhound.]

wait all the blocks are in a row and not staggered lol is that why the wall pretty much wanted to fall over so easy

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Lol I know I have no idea what it was built that way. Absolutely no strength

[@terryrogers1025]

Well sir, when you opened with that inside shot with the go pro, I was wondering if it was going into the truck with the garage scrap and you had to go fish it out😁. Nice power broom at the end there young man, I’m thinking your dust pan was kind of pricey though!!!!🙄😂

[@eliteearthworksllc]

🤣🤣 I luckily stopped before I buried the camera. The tree worked well. Yes it was lol. Appreciate you watching

[@skyhunter823]

It great to have Barn door Tailgates less fuss Dat way all our Dump trailers & Road truck have Barn door Tailgates less fuss Dat way for we move a lot of Big stumps & Brush as well as Demo materials ect.

[@skyhunter823]

I have fought my share of hung loads it is a real Bear

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Yeah that would be really handy. I plan on getting one someday on the Pete

[@skyhunter823]

They are definitely worth the investment saves something fuss & a bit more safer

[@arkansas1336]

Looking good. Your next machine...88,000lb. Cat 336F and you'll be "getting out of the frying pan and into the fire"...give it a try it, it's fun!...lol

[@eliteearthworksllc]

That would be awesome! Maybe some day!

[@ColtonLloyd]

When you first got the 2150 was it a demo? Or did you bought it.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

I rented it first then bought it

[@DirtBrute]

In my area the average is $10k per every 1000sq foot . Give or take a few !

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Cool I was curious what some places got. I definitely struggle trying to get a price on them

[@DirtBrute]

@@eliteearthworksllc everyone I know struggles with bidding demo jobs! Like you said it depends on where the dump is and The trucking situation!

@@DirtBrute yes lots of variables

[@robertappleby4734]

How on earth is that block building even standing

[@eliteearthworksllc]

I honestly have no idea. It can’t be very strong without staggering the joints

Thanks!

[@brianwebber7168]

Our construction and demolition fees went from $70/ ton➕️ to $90/ ton ➕️
