What an idiot. That is a lot of work for little pay.

Recycling is too expensive and actually uses.more energy than just makeing new

@@grandinosour Don´t know how it´s in the US, but in Germany we get out the inventory at least as well as the windows and doors. Remelting the glass is the best way to get new glass. For the enviroment and for the pocket!

If everything was in such good shape, then why was the home torn down?

Goodby fire trap...hello building according to fire codes

@@grandinosour Fire trap? Brick is more resistant to fire than all the boards modern houses are made out of. Trust me, my house that was built in 1897 has survived 3 fires with minimum damage over its 124 year old life. The only fire hazards these old houses have is their electrical work if it hasn’t been updated. I would much rather shell out a few thousand to upgrade that than go live in one of these new card board box houses that wouldn’t survive 1 fire and collapse every time a bad storm hits.

I know right what if they didn't want to live alone and no in a apartment building the people should have a right to stand up and say no to that

@@gavinhartmann2817 , Money talks. They probably paid top dollar for the house because they wanted the lot, to build the apartment house.

Yeah and as a home owner thay could have filled a law suit and made to where they would have to get off the property or let them go to prison i might have a disorder but it doesn't take a rocket scientist and no it doesn't always take money

@@gavinhartmann2817 , They bought the house legally. They offered so much money the owners couldn't say no. Then they tore down the house.

Thank you for the like. We're you the operator. If so you are awesome

if this guy is so good why did he mix the bricks with the wood.....you never do that!

Swedish operators put the house sorted for recycling in boxes. Then you can talk about skill when they pull off the roof, then go over the container for brick and concrete and drop the tiles before putting the remains of the roof in the container for wood. A swedish demolisher would call this just making a mess.

Ok.

I am not an operator, so I am in a poor position to give advice. However, I expect the issue of safety makes the top of everyone's list. And a big part of safety involves staying aware of your surroundings, particularly where any people are. Spend some time chatting with any operators that you know. And it won't be too many years before the new guy comes to you for advice.

A builder acquired several houses on the block to assemble a large piece of land for an apartment building. The owners were well paid.

Don Brock they do

Hahahahaha

Much of the metal, particularly copper pipes, will be recycled. To the extent that they are kept separate, the brick and concrete will be crushed and used in construction. Everything else heads to the landfill.

Nine BILLION human gut-tracks on this marble. Quantity versus quality. Welcome to the 21st century.

A developer acquired several adjacent properties to create a large parcel to build an apartment building.

@@JohnZWetmore Thanks for your reply.

Maybe it would cost to much to repair maybe it wasnt structural safe to go in. Maybe it had mould damp or house caught fire and there was water damage. There could be many reasons why houses are pulled down. Sometimes they are not safe or secure too old or had dry rot

The house might have been fine. But the land was worth more than the house with the block being redeveloped.

You fool !!

It would be nice to have two or three cameras and show the demolition from several angles. With just one camera, by the time you move to another position across the street you have missed a lot of the action.

Not going to happen because of liability

True. In UK, old buildings destroyed, and bog standard generic apartments erected in there place. identical steel glass concrete, Cladding both wood and plastic. Whether your in Edinburgh, Manchester, Liverpool, Leicester, London or Plymouth, oh Cardiff too. I don't Believe they employ architects but copy and pasters. Hence the drawing boards long left the building and computer software runs the reigns.

@@mohammednadeemanwar2213 every engineer the world over thinks they can be an Architect. Some even say so. So sad when you cannot pass selection to study Architecture and have to settle for a lesser discipline...

The house would have been moved.

At least, ideally, the debris will get recycled.

In UK, the demolition contractors would not get licence or permission to demolish, if their not going to separate materials. Copper wires plumbing, lead, steel & iron. Bricks and stones resold. Timber, windows, doors, flooring and beams & joists sold. Big profits from salvage make recycling extremely viable. Those that buy repurposed materials create designer furniture, or restore extend their own homes. Even down to door knobs, (reconditioned light fittings), to skirting boards and architraves. Nothing is wasted.

Nadeem Anwar , good for them. That is the way it should be!
