509 Demo

On 3-31-17, we bought the house next door and had it demolished (along with the garage on our house). For the video taken from the front (higher production value), see • Demolition of 509 Clif... 
For those who are concerned about the asbestos, please note: (1) We followed all laws and regulations about asbestos removal, with permits and government approval. (www.epa.gov/sites/production/.... (2) The demolition was performed with government inspectors and an elaborate air monitoring system present the whole time.
It's a long video, showing most of the demolition. Skip to the last minute if you just want to see the land without the house.

    Thanks for your comment. Actually, I must correct you. As extreme lovers of the environment who are very conscious of the need to reuse and recycle, we were very attentive to these issues when we had the home demolished. There were no hardwood floors (all plywood), and the construction was extremely shoddy (ceilings were only about two meters), so even the sill plates, framing, and studs were water-damaged and of no use. All materials were of the lowest quality. Even with this being said, we had the local reuse/recycle operation come and take what they wanted for resale or reuse. There was some copper and other scrap metal, which were recycled. The windows were actually not reusable because all but one of the vapor barriers were compromised and many were physically broken. It was, I admit, sad, but this home really needed to go to a better place.

    Brian Mullins -I’m not sure how it works in your locality, but this is the way it works here. The building had lots of asbestos throughout, including the siding. The home was condemned because it was uninhabitable (for many reasons not related to the asbestos). Once condemned, the owner is allowed to demolish and remove the entire structure, protecting the environment and immediate area from asbestos contamination. So it was an “asbestos-safe” removal You’ll notice the guy spraying water and another just watching. Those are state-certified asbestos abatement experts. The water keeps friable asbestos out of the air. The entirety of the building remnants went to an asbestos-protected landfill.

It’s true that I would have had to remove all the tiles if the structure had not been condemned. But since it was condemned, and uninhabitable, it’s legal to tear it down in an asbestos friendly way and bring all of the debris to an asbestos safe landfill.

    Gary Johnson Truly it had nothing. Short beams; no hardwood. Everything moldy and/or rotted. The house was built in 1935 on a shoestring (I know the family that built it) We offered the whole house to more than one reuse/recycle place, and there was nothing of any use. We did salvage one window, but the vapor barriers and the panes were mostly broken. It was sad.

    Hi! Thanks for posting on my video. As extreme lovers of the environment who are very conscious of the need to reuse and recycle, we were very attentive to these issues when we had the home demolished. There were no hardwood floors (all plywood), and the construction was extremely shoddy, so even the sill plates, framing, and studs were damaged and of no use. All materials were of the lowest quality. Even with this being said, we had the local reuse/recycle operation come and take what they wanted for resale or reuse. There was some copper and other scrap metal, which were recycled. The windows were actually not reusable because all but one of the vapor barriers were compromised and many were physically broken. It was, I admit, sad, but this home really needed to go to a better place.

    I mean i can understand that. now a days what i been seeing is homeowners sometimes will post ads on like craiglists or even in newspapper and will post something about house being torn down. and see if anyone would like to come in, look around and see what might be able to be reused for someone doing projects. Remember seeing one of these posts on craigslist that was a few days old. it had a time limit where house was going to be torn down and had not passed. So i went by see if i could grab some used windows. Got there. all that was left of the 2 story house was just all framing. could see thur whole house. asked person there, what happened. Said a company came in, Slavaged almost every in the house. even cleaned up afterwards, placing sheetrock and the insulation into garbage bags and even swept up. They even took the shingles from the roof. The house was just framing with plywood on roof. was pretty amazing. But just shows what posting on sites and or newspapers can do. Dont know what will happen if Not at least try first

    @@ChakatNightspark that is the differance from demo to deconstruct, we deconstruct when we can, we will even save the sheeting from the roofs, someone outthere always need something in the way of materials, the only problem is money, deconstruct costs about the same on a structure like this but it slows the process and the deconstruction also need larger places for the materials to be stored and sold, that is why the bids for a quick demo are so much cheaper, the owners also normally dont like the extra time spent, they look at it as time is money, and it is, however a home like this can be deconstructed with a good crew without the expense of heavy equipment in about a 3 week time schedual versus what an hour maybe 2 hours with the excavator, that 3 weeks of property down time, after doing several properties that way the added time gets pricey, I am in Arizona, all this is based on local experiances, working with people that flip properties etc.

    Travis--that's very interesting. We contacted two deconstruction businesses (had no problem with a longer time frame), and both of them said they wouldn't touch the house, because of the condition and quality of the materials used (built in 1934). Also, the roof shingles, the newest part of the house, were 20 years old and unusable.

    Thanks for your comment. There were a lot of reasons. I’ll list a few: The home was dangerously close to ours; its lack of structural integrity threatened ours. The home was condemned and not up to local safety and structural codes; to bring it up to code would’ve been much more expensive than tearing the house down. The home had 6‘6“ ceilings throughout and was very badly designed. The home was an eyesore and we wanted to improve the neighborhood. There were rats and other vermin in the house, and it was a health hazard. The smell that emanated from the home was truly repulsive. The home was a fire hazard. I could go on and on. Why would a person make a negative and judgmental comment on the actions of a perfect stranger, when she knows absolutely nothing about the situation? That makes no sense.
