Follow me on Instagram, where I'm sharing even more of my awesome demo content. Check the video description for the link.

It always saddens me to see really nice lumber, like in those exposed trusses smashed to kindling.

This demo video is a metaphor for life really, nothings permanent. Buildings come and go, some last 50 years, some 500 years. Imagine how hard it was to build this, all the resources it took, all the specialist trades that made this building. And in 50 years time it was torn down and gone in a day….. nothings permanent.

I'm surprised it wasn't reused. Seems like a solid structure.

Lots of Stainless Steel. Jail door would be great to keep. Many uses. Bar tables. etc PVC white pipe, Shelves. Gold mine. Very well built. Lots of WASTE.

Looks like a lot of useful resources going to waist 😳🤯

The initial view of the building makes it look like a big concrete monolith! It's weird when the Cat started busting through that gray wood.

Shame it couldn't be reused, I thought the geometric design was actually pretty interesting. Always neat to see the number of wooden commercial buildings. And it definitely screams 1970s! The trusses were really cool.

Those teller counter could make some nice bars in homes or businesses

He does a fantastic job of rebuilding the bank if you watch the video in reverse!

Sure was a nicely built structure. Modern boxes are so boring.

You have the best job in the world. I could do this all day long.

A few things & pieces of furniture that could sell for a few bucks... Thanks for sharing.

@HomeWreckerBrian The best part about your videos is the walk through at the beginning. You do not see that too much and it's always cool to see the inside before it get's demolished! Thanks as always for sharing!!

Hey, everyone! Leave me a comment and tell me what your favorite part was! Also, If you like watching banks get demolished, make sure to check out my channel. Last summer, we did a really cool one, so go take a look!

You're right cuz there's a lot of going to waste there's a lot of good scrap metal in there lot of copper lot of stainless steel a lot of number one Steel😊

It is very hard to imagine that tearing down such a building considering demo costs, construction costs could ever be cost effective

Wished you had habitat for humanity come by and do a clean out, before demolition. It was some nice furniture and etc that could have been saved😞🌄…

Amazing how either powerful that machine is or how brittle construction really was.

This is an absolute goldmine for anyone who loves to see things getting demolished.

I Germany you would have to remove everything inside first. So all Cables, Glass, Isolation, everything has the be removed before you are allowed to take the building down

Are you sure there is no asbestos in the building being that it was built in the 70s?

That inside view during demo is very neat and also sad.

The vault is always the most impressive. Makes one want to load it up with dynamite, secure the area and enjoy the blast! Really appreciate the walkthrough before starting the demo work

Can’t believe you couldn’t find buyer to tale safe deposit boxes?

I’m surprised that the heavy wood wasn’t salvaged. I’m also surprised that there isn’t a market for the stainless steel vault door and safe deposit boxes. Very curious.

Love the internal views of ceiling lights collapsing.

2nd comment: that interior camera setup is top notch content!!!

Man I would've taken all those commercial doors 😂

Thanks for doing the walk throughs !!

This is why we can't have nice things, always breaking stuff.

The boxes in the safe deposit boxes you could sell along with the vault door and that gate. eBay or marketplace

Those bank walls look like there made of paper

WOW, So many re-usable materials in this bank! Such great looking architecture in all! I Would have found so many uses for much of the materials! Am sure your on a crunched time table for this demolition! it's fin to see! much ease than I have had to deal with in the past!

Goes to show how powerful these excavators are. I work on these things for a living, and that 323 really did put up a fight. Would love to see something like a 340 or bigger do something like this.

Good work. I liked the interior cam view. I will try that on my demolitions on my channel as well. 👍👍

Thanks so much for sharing another project with us! That's quite the building! I'm very interested to see how you handle getting the rest down with the basement below, and possibly having to separate the block from all the wood. Also.. I REALLY hope you made a part on how the vault was demolished. The last one was awesome! Subscribed a long time ago, but eagerly awaiting part 2. Best demolition channel on KZfaq by far, and I've been watching demolition videos since the days when you could literally watch all of them there were so few! Best wishes, Dan.

It's a shame that all that good material and items go to waste. Much of it can be reused, but I guess it's just not cost effective and it would take some effort to find someone who would want it. Especially the items specific to banks. Those things looked really good, but probably dated. One wonders if a salvage business could make a profit recovering as much material as possible before destruction.

A drive through at a bank in the UK we definitely don't have those. I also find it interesting to see it built mainly out of wood UK materials for a bank are usually reinforced concrete and brick.

Great demolition !

What an interesting building. Deceptively large, eh???

my favorite part of this demo was the dust control

I know this place, its the old Wells Fargo bank on the south hill of Spokane, WA. The current Wells Fargo on the "Hill" as we say here, is now where a local Chinese Restaurant used to sit.

Love it, can't wait till part 2 comes out!!!

Everybody hands up! This is a robbery! I mean, wait ... this is a demolition!

Oh its a wells fargo. Good work.

First vid of yours I've knowingly seen, and the first bit of bashing through the overhang and hunting for and stacking of I-beams was very relaxing. Also telling of a skilled operator. Instant subscribe and will be soon watching more!

Watching this was like watching a Ray Harryhousen stop animation movie. Pretty cool. I would of taken that neat gate in the vault. Wells Fargo, couldn't of happened to a better bank. Damn crooks.

@10:17- when you saved that LED light fixture, I knew we had something in common!!!!!

I wish I could collect some of those keys. As a kid I’ve always saved old keys I’d find in places my dad had to demo.

As someone living on a modest self built off-grid desert homestead, I weep to see all those building materials getting destroyed!

It is just amazing all that reusable building material is being destroyed. The world will be run😢out of trees for building materials before we know it

That's what you call breaking the bank

Thanks for the occasional commentary, it's really interesting! I've watched similar videos and often had questions about the demolition strategy. Like, the whole process often seemed to take much longer than I might have expected. I guess there must be many considerations ... save some materials, sort metal and wood separately, keep nearby buildings safe, try to avoid making dust, smash stuff up well enough for the dump trucks to transport later, avoid overstressing the excavator ... what else??

With a basement , break the initial pieces smaller to fill the space, nice spot to work on this bank no nearby buildings which makes it a whole lot different as you don't want pieces falling on adjacent buildings. I loved dong demo.

Just a curious question, did you have to remove the fluorescent tubes out of every light fixture in there?

I'm shocked at the waste. 😳

The bank was built with cardboard boxes 😮

Did you do any salvage ? Plenty of scrap that's for sure

Oh wow, I've always wanted to see what it looks like from the inside as the bucket bashes through! Now I know, and it's kind of spooky! Thanks for setting that up.

ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO, but with previews this time!!! Hey Brian - are you sure there wasn’t a mummy buried in the basement of this modified pyramid??? Holy Cow, save that kick-ass leather lounger they left in the bank lobby. Damn, I’m surprised that no one claimed that piece.

That has got to be the most satisfying job ever!

Here the demo permit requires recyclable material be salvaged, sorted and the least amount of material possible be sent to landfill.

I was a little stressed. This did wonders for my spirits while watching.

That was an awesome mid-century couch in there! I can't believe they didn't save that!

I watched many of your videos, but I enjoyed this one so much, that I wanted to thank you for it.

It’s so tragic that so many cool items don’t get recycled. That jail door. Even the office furniture. Hell put it on the lawn as free to anyone who wants it if you can’t be bothered selling it.

Yes, that was the Wells Fargo building, I use to live in the apt building just to the left, the white ones.

Love the channel!

Huge facade, tiny bank - gotta love late 20th century corporate architecture

And now you know how to rob a bank with an excavator

STOP, STOP, STOP! Hold up real quick, I want that bench in the lobby. That's the shit I'd be saying every 5 minutes if I were there.

Just found the channel I didn't know I needed in my life!

Dust control on this one was definitely a good idea, I saw the yellow insulation and as an electrician who spends a decent amount of time in attics I can tell you that stuff is the worst

Have a Beer on Anthony 🍻

Sorry dude but get all steel iron out of the building that’s a lot of money in it if you only salvage correctly.

Who needs lights in there when you can break down the wall? 🤣

Somebody broke into the bank!

Am i the only one that's curious to see what it would be like to be in a building as it slowly gets demolished

A steel/iron gate door, attached to the frame with wood screws... It's all about the illusion of security, isn't it?

Can't remember the last time I was ever in a bank branch. 20 years maybe. Vaults are always a fright and hated going to my deposit box. As much as everyone talks about it, reusing and recycling really does not exist and no one really gives a hoot about the environment. So off to the landfill with all that. Bank buildings are difficult at best to remodel into something else. We will be seeing far fewer banks branches in the future as most people bank online. The buildings are fairly useless now and remember at least in Florida growing up, a bank on every corner.

this is what I call an "armed" robbery

Cool!…when I heard the sirens I thought you may have ripped down the wrong building!….what ever happened with the cool LED light?

great deconstruction, the comments make me want to drink draino but other than that good job.

Oh man I would ave love to have had those steel columns!

So much could have been salvaged prior to demo. I guess I’ll never understand.

This is so cool dude! 🤘💈 -Chris Your Barber 😉

Nice sir😊

That has to be the most stress free guy on earth!!!!

the bank building is made of wood, very reliable protection

You seem to be doing much more commercial demo lately.

Whoever built the vault in this bank definitely had confidence in its resistance to force entry if they thought the need to install a fan and a feeding tube slot in the door frame. Basically meaning if someone got trapped in there and the door could not be unlocked by normal means they would be in there for a decent amount of time before a locksmith could get it open. Probably built by moleser safe, after all they've made vaults that were proven to survive a nuclear bomb.

When I see this „soft“ walls… Windows and doors are highly secured in such buildings. But it seems to be more easy to get in with a big hammer through a wall!

Makes me wonder why bucket rotators aren't popular there.

Hello from Michigan. I love watching your videos. Do you save all the aluminum doors & window frames along with other scrap metal including the parking lot lights? Just curious because some companies throw them to the landfill. I'm also surprised you didn't save those newer outdoor lights on the building.

Nice tare 👍down

how to rob a bank the hard way

That's the biggest bank I've ever seen....the basement....massive. Could make it a school.

Bro you could of made it a mickdonos

Absolute gold mine for junkers and all you saved was an exterior LED light? lol
