House Demolition #21 (part one), Winnetka

Ойын-сауық

The demolition of a SFR built in 1926 measuring at 3,920 sqft. The house was condemned by the city after being abandoned since 2005. It had racked up a number of code violations since then along with other problems. Mold, dead animals, the rear of the structure partially collapsed, facade bricks falling off, ceilings and walls throughout the structure falling down/cracking. There will be a newer, better, bigger, home taking its place.

    This was an elegant, old home, sturdily built. We are used to seeing wood-frame homes with brick facades, but this was a brick house, with solid exterior brick walls and interiors of plaster on wood lath. Due to its dilapidated condition (including the partial collapse), my guess is the operator had to dial back his demolition approach to keep the structure from collapsing. As you mentioned in your response to my prior comment (deleted), the house being razed was not close enough to adjacent structures to threaten them in the event of collapse. The "timid" demo is likely out of concern that a full collapse could damage their equipment and/or injure the operator. Otherwise, I'm out of suggestions.

    This must be the most painfully slow demolition i have ever seen!, what with scraping the plants off the wall and picking at the bricks, i could have done it quicker with a hammer!, it all has to come down so why mess about?, just smash it!

    You weren't kidding about the condition of this home. Toward the end of the video, as the exterior brick wall was being slowly demolished on the upper floor, the wood hangers and lath inside the exterior walls below the upstairs windows showed extensive rot, obviously missing the plaster on the inside of the lath. Will there be a Part 2?
