[@janvandenbos7085]

Nice farmhouse and barn demolition Chris clearing up and burning and storting out materials 👌👍

[@thefinalfrontier1219]

I love watching these Machines tear houses down you really get a good perspective of the power that these machines have. It’s pretty incredible.

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Awesome! Love watching the demo videos! Great work!

[@johnapel2856]

Bummer that they let that neat old farmhouse die. Too bad nothing could be salvaged. Man, it was brittle. Sad, but interesting to see how you do it. Thanks.

[@Lowincome2023]

Watching this video today and paused it to go on some errands. My daughter asked to use phone and seen the video paused and says to me " Dad how can you watch a 30 minute video of a guy tearing down a house".. Haha I tell her its just satisfying to watch.. Been watching for 6 months slowly getting through all the videos, Love the content keep it coming..

[@keithdunlap2701]

And that's how it's done !!! That looks like it could be a nice lot after it's all cleaned and cleared.... Great one Chris !!

[@michaelpoole1378]

Dang I would love to have that old siding off that house, I needed that, and lot more lumber,. Homeless man could use it , (rich peoples junk is a poor mans treasure),.

[@charlesmiller5078]

While Im watching, Im thinking about the memories that were made in that old home, how many adults remember this house when remembering their child hood. The home I grew up in was sold after we all grew up and moved out. Another family has now raised their children and they have grown up and moved. And its still in great shape, worth around 200,000, we paid 9,998 in 1957. But the good part is memories dont go away only the platform they were made at.

[@markdelfavero7542]

I could watch you all day. Thanks

[@TL64329]

Lots of good memories here for someone. Life goes on.

[@snipercurgan1]

I enjoy brush cutting and forestry mulching videos, please show more in the future if you can, either way love the channel and keep up with all the amazing uploads!

[@MaddogJones]

Gotta love that lead and asbestos (and maybe a little mold too) dust first thing in the morning...

[@1995jug]

Chris you are a great roofer don't take you long to remove one.

[@patg6705]

You can hear the dryness in that old wood, the wind is blowing hard too. Thanks for sharing, good video

[@davidnull5590]

Chimneys are built after the house is framed, the builder tells the mason where the chimney is the exit the house, the mason builds the chimney to reach that point. Many of them are intentionally built "crooked" so the leave the roof where the builder wanted.

[@letsdig18]

yeah i saw after it went between the roof trusses

[@JimPeachley]

I've been told that, to minimize potential leaks, chimneys were built so they would exit the roof at the peak, but they start wherever the fireplace is, not always perfectly under the peak. So you get an angled chimney.

[@mbhales]

The crooked chimney was on purpose. They used to build them that way supposedly to aid in a better draft. We tore down an old (1904) house here in Idaho last fall that had the same thing; The chimney for the old coal -->> oil furnace was way leaned over, but the fireplace (probably built years later) was straight up and down.

[@clydeacor1911]

They sure don't build them like they used to! When we do a demolition we try to see if the local fire department would like to use it for training, it's easier to burn that way because you don't have to worry about permits and the fire department gets needed training. It's a win, win for everyone. Really liked the video, nothin like mayhem and destruction!

[@letsdig18]

they wouldnt burn it because it was so close to the power lines

[@clydeacor1911]

@@letsdig18 well that would definitely make sense. At least it was a good donor for you to make a great video!

[@delcasaleexcavating9508]

We're in NJ and can't burn them with the fire department, however we are allowed to use the houses for training on breaching walls, saw training/ roof cuts for ventilating a fire....& this all happens through our township fire prevention /fire inspectors.....by the time we get done tearing the place down the demolition company doesn't have anything left to do !! Lol

[@treefrog7795]

Oh my i knew you knew your stuff on popping the lid off a pop bottle but you can even open a can of soup with that mow chine.......Awesome work..and i am riding my bike during this whole clean up.

[@brucethec8150]

I must be learning something watching all these construction vids. As soon as the vid starts I am already planning how to do the job just as chris would.

[@JWW922]

Just think of the hopes and dreams of the people that built it and all that have lived there ..............

[@stretch130MFE]

I think the same thing about old ratty old cars. At one time, buying that car was the best day in someone's life. That farmhouse reminds me of Jenny's though... needed crushed.

[@jimmystrain883]

Yes I was ,thinking, the same .a.l the hopes and dreams. How many families that. Iived there that .over that place

[@jimmystrain883]

Loved that place

[@bobkohl6779]

Just what I was thinking

[@dwaynekoblitz6032]

Think of all the sweet tea, biscuits, and love making, that were made in that old house? History forgotten. But you sure gave it Heyell!

[@rick8910]

Going to be a nice place to build on.

[@marcryvon]

Yeah, with a pond already there !

[@mischef18]

It's like ya favorite breakfast cereal it's all about the crunch. Sure is in a lovely spot next to that pond though. Great video bro

[@silentepsilon888]

That was fun to watch, let's do another house. Maybe the neighbor's house? I heard they are on vacation for at least another week.

[@bigtarheelfan]

Chimney is no longer crooked.

The big bad wolf just smashed this house down! this house was like straw.

[@stumppiler1002]

Watch out for that lead paint buddy, no joke, the wind is your friend.

[@squarewrangler]

No worries. Most of it blew into the water .

[@tom73055]

squareyed now . don’t go drinking the pond water or letting the animals drink from the pond now that it is lead contaminated

[@arnoldromppai5395]

thats a lot of cost that we dont go to here, we wait until the snow covers the bush, and walk though all the buildings with a drip torch, and let them all go, even if there are high voltage power lines not far off, not going to hurt them big bare ESR cables, then in the spring after half loads come off in mid June we go in and clean up whats left

[@46rambo49]

reminds me of the first house i lived in as a kid, a converted chicken house it was, not much bigger than the porch on this one. People just don't realize how damn good you are with that big ass bucket. !!!

[@blackjack8217]

Suggest while tearing down old housed like that that you use a filter mask. There is alot of stuff in them that are hazardous to breathe when it become airborne.

[@philipbengtson7066]

Thanks for opening the windows right away!

[@rajbeekie7124]

If you are going to have a burn pit wouldn't it be easier if you burn the house, barn, etc. where they are and clean up later?

[@ralphsterz2889]

Next to busy road and under electrical or telephone lines?

Burn it first and then clean up what's left.

[@crippledrider]

I don't usually comment on your videos, but had to on this one. That house would have blown away, seemed it wasn't made out of much, just clap board and tin, WOW!!!

[@justj2728]

Awe man you should give us tours of the inside before you tear these places down you would probably get a ton of veiws and also that preserves the memory of these old places

[@rallyscoot]

I dont think it was very save to enter this house.. The floors would be very unstable.

It's kinda depressing if you think about how much history these houses hold. Some old man today probably grew up here lol

[@billrobbins5874]

Didn't take as long to demo it as it did to build it. That's progress. Supposedly,?

[@shirleyqualls8036]

I never tore a house down before, glad you let me ride along

[@TheUb3rN00b]

I use to live in a old A-frame house about 8 years ago, It still had the original windows with the counter weights to keep it opened. The only thing that was new to the house was a sliding door for the back door. I had to move eventually because the area turned into the "slum" part and the house was gonna cost more to renovate or remodel than to just sell it for what it was. It was a shame to see it go but at least someone got proper use out of the land and built a better house in its place.

[@larrylittletonjr9644]

I'd like to pilfer the barns first. Amazing what you'll find. Just leave the leaning chimney lol

[@jerryrolen9639]

I have demoed many old homes. Never liked it though. To much history.

[@thisisconstruction.]

jerry rolen I am Carpenter, rebuilt most of my house by taking apart those old places no one wants too mess with!! So much good lumber! You can not get any thing like that at the lumber yard today😒.

[@cathiwim]

It makes me cry. 😞

[@JohnSmith-lb6pz]

Ever thought about letting the local fire department use something like that to use as practice? I did that one time and it worked out good, I didn't have as much to move and the local VFD got some good practice training in.

Letsdig18, you say that the tin was way better back then, then how come you didn't use it on your pole barn then? Besides everything was alot better back then, as it didn't COST AS MUCH AS IT DOES TODAY!!!

[@slomoe5409]

The funk rushed out of that house and knocked me to my goddamn knees The taste stays on my mind

[@johnnyholland8765]

There was a song in the eighties called "burning down the house" should be renamed "tearing down the house"....... Kind of a shame just because that used to be someones home. Folks used to tear old houses down and reuse or as they call it now repurpose the lumber. All that destruction at ones fingertips.

[@lugnutz9025]

The property owner should have allowed the local Law Enforcement Agency and Fire Depts to use the house for practice. It is really helpful to them.

Amazing "gingerly peeling" off that tin roof ! Any wiring worth cherrypicking in that one ??

Demolition and land clearing is always awesome!! I thought you got the new skid steer without the high flow option. I figured the bush hog/brush cutter attachment for the skid steer would need the high flow option. But if it doesn't, then that is a cost saver for you and I don't even want to know what is a "high flow" attachment for that machine! Lol

no its a low flow mower

How much roughly does it cost to tear down a house that size? Do you haul off the material or can you bury it? I got an abandoned house on my property I wanna get rid of but haven't been able to find someone.

[@letsdig18]

it really varries man, if its out in the country and you can tear it down and burn it it wont cost much 2-3k if its got to be hauled to a landfill it gets pretty expensive
