That was fun to watch but didn't look rotten to me. That mobile home was in pretty great condition considering

Dang, y'all got a lot of hate for taking care of business in an effective and timely way 👀 props to y'all for having a dream and being willing to share part of the process to get you there! We have a dilapidated single wide that we have no idea where to start in the demo process, so I'm scouring KZread for helpful videos like yours 🙏 F the nay sayers😉

That was done so methodically. Way to show how its done. You bite the bullet and spend three days dismantling an eye sore. I assume some of it was able to be stored as materials for another build while some of it was burnable and yet other stuff had to be hauled to the dump. Anyhow, I would have a hard time rebuilding an old double wide. they are always built poorly and rarely worth the trouble of fixing. most mobile homes are money pits that cost more to fix or move than they are worth. and if you polish an old turd like that, its still a turd. You made the right choice. That was 3 day tear down was done masterfully. Good for you.

Oddly satisfying to watch.

In my time, I've completely torn down a 14x70 and repurposed have of a 14x60. Both were mouse motels. Mouse poop everywhere and the insulation was destroyed. One of the main problems with mobile home construction is they use a lot of glue. The inside paneling is glued and the subfloor is glued to the floor joists. They use a ton of tiny finishing nails and staples plus the glue makes it difficult to clean up and re use. I took half of a mobile home,put it on a 14x30 concrete slab, with a row of cement blocks around the outside edge. I leveled the building and built sections between the mobile walls and cement blocks, lowered the building and sheeted it up with osb.I started removing the subfloor in approximately 18 inch squares till the floor joist was clean and cut each one flush with the inside wall one each end. Some were crooked as heck but I saved them for another project. I had to get a building permit for this and it passed inspection. This was a 1 man job,seemed like it took forever. It was a lot of work.

oddly satisfying as I sit at my kitchen table

This was awesome and inspiring to those of us dedicated to salvaging and repurposing more…filling landfills less.

We also have just purchased land and previous owner had already begun demolition, but apparently with no strategy. I've got to clean up his mess before continuing.

Nice job. Bravo!

You guys are absolute animals, loved the video

Pretty cool! Glad my job is only half that size. :)

Home was fine. Could have remodeled into an awesome shed. Seemed like a waste of time to tear down by hand. Crane and dumpster would have made it much easier.

@@Abortabortgetouuuut I agree. I have one on my property. Im a 60 yo lady, my 50 yo friend is going to help me tear part of it off. One end is in excellent condition. I'm tearing off the end that isn't. Anything useable we're reusing to build a shed ✌️

Good job

Going to do this to my trailer on my land. I was going to try to renovate it but I was not happy with the way its constructed. So, I am deciding to demolish it. Probably will cut the frame down into small chunks and take it to the scrap yard and keep some of the lumber for my new house. My only question is how to demo the roof. Maybe I should do that first before tearing down the walls.

Looks like that had a lot of water damage from a bad roof?

Dude, I’d love to see some more video’s of your work in progress

Wow good work, but with a work flow like that it seems like you could have remodeled that place and saved a ton of money.

Subscribed! This was fun to watch. Couldn't tell exactly who everyone was but did David do a lot alone?

How did yall do the roof? Middle supports first? Or did yall push it over with somethin?

Went in a pickup i'm guessing you hauled it to the land fill your self? I gutted out my house my self and saved a lot of money that way. Land fill cost $20.75 a ton.

I'm still not clear; how much if any was salvaged?

👌👏👏👏👏👏

Wow! Nice work, how long did this project take?

How much did you make selling the frame for scrap?

Doing that alone at night… heck no not for me lol but anyway this was a really great video

I have a single wide I need to do this too. Buy I work 65+ hours a week as it is. Need to get it done though.

How long did this take?

How much were dump fees and did they give you any hassle on asbestos

What did you use to break apart the bottom iron

How long did that take?

You skipped the only part I actually need lol

How long did it take ? I’m thinking about doing one myself

Could I do this to a double wide? They took all my copper out. I was just wondering can this be done?

One of the most best and smartest demo of a home. Majority of dumbasses would take a sledgehammer and just start smashing things making more mess to clean up. I def prefer this method

You could’ve replaced the ceiling and done a little work and that house would’ve been perfect…. You had all those people standing in one spot in the floor no sagging… what a waste.

@@michaelfitzgerald8727 Because, unlike you, they didn’t just dismissively burn all materials, which now have been salvaged/repurposed. Given conditions - being located in the middle of a forest, a burn may have been the dumbest option conceivable! How about shutting your trap and respecting how they effectively and efficiently handled this project? They did an awesome job, despite your whining.
