Dude this is so much more interesting than I thought it was going to be. And not just because I'm a male and love to see things get smashed haha listening to your commentary and thought process was really interesting, so I hope you do more videos like this 👍

Thanks Tom! That's really encouraging feedback. Sometimes it feels like I talk to much and make a video boring, but I'll keep sharing my thoughts if it's entertaining!

Yeah I do always feel bad about that. The place had pictures on the wall and everything. The people that inherited it are the folks responsible for letting the place fall into a condition that warranted demolition. If anyone, I would have expected them to be the most interested in preserving the place.

Steel Kitchen Cabinets were mostly like Youngstown Kitchens. Quite Popular in the early to mid 20th Century.
@zaccheus6 ай бұрын
Oh wow, thats cool. That would make sense. I believe this house was built in 1925. I think the house had been updated at least once. Would they have likely been made in Youngstown, Ohio? That's only about an hour from us.

Zach I’m surprised you didn’t take your mini and strip the siding off first and the awnings also surprised siding wasn’t insulated like you said lunch $ we’re headed to scrap yard anyway. I’m also surprised the county or the individual who hired you didn’t want the foundation walls and floor removed from the site. Job went well Got to be better the tree climbing
@zaccheus6 ай бұрын
All fair thoughts. The aluminum siding was just a bonus, when it was easy to separate, I separated it, but there wasn't enough mi ey it to spend a substantial amount of time on it with that big machine sitting there. I also thought about pulling the copper pipes out before demolition, but I gotta draw the line somewhere 🤷♂️ Each city has different requirements around here. This city just wanted the floor perforated so that it didn't hold water and the walls hauled off or crushed so that there weren't any pieces bigger than 6". That red block crushed up very easily.

Haha, I'll have to give something like that a try in another video. I'm not nearly as smooth on a machine that size as I used to be. Too much time on the mini excavator has ruined me 😂

Do you have the house tested for asbestos and lead. Also does ohio have regulations on dust control like do you normally have to have someone there with a hose hosing it down as you tear it down. And can you crush the block up and use it for part of the back fill for a basement
@zaccheus3 ай бұрын
All of the municipalities have different regulations around here. The EPA doesn't have any regulation on single family dwellings to my knowledge. Some towns want certain things test for, others do not. This city wanted a rodent inpection and abatement and well as insect inspection and abatement. This city also allowed us to crush masonry down to 6" and use it as fill. The floor was allowed to stay as long as we perforated it to allow water passage. Not all of the municipalities around here will allow that.

How did you prep the sewer, gas, water, electrical lines?
@zaccheus2 ай бұрын
Sewer was a septic system. We went through the county abandonment procedure for that. Account owner was required to call and have electric and gas cut off. Both of those utilities remove their own lines. And it had a well in the basement which we followed the county's well abandonment procedure for.

There was a lot of aluminum on that house. Is it not worth taking that off for scrap?I notice no one tearing down a house takes off the aluminum but takes the appliances I was just curious
@zaccheus6 ай бұрын
Excellent question! The siding is mostly a wash. The time to collect it and haul it costs about as much as it pays at the scrap yard. It doesn't take up too much weight or space in the dumpsters and so I only save the pieces that are easy to save. The appliances are not allowed in the dumpsters and so I have to separate those out. They take less time to separate, but there still isn't much profit on them. It's just important to keep them out of the dumpsters.
