What happens here

This project details the demolition of an old, unused swimming pool and an associated building, along with the clearing of surrounding debris and a fallen tree. It highlights the challenges of such a demolition, including working around existing structures, managing large concrete pieces, and dealing with unexpected discoveries like a well and wasp nests. The process involves using heavy machinery like an excavator and a Bobcat to break up and remove concrete, clear vegetation, and grade the site.

down and and I was saying he didn't have the boom arm extender too far out when you were trying to do anything just talking real quick and then I went to turn and he's not letting you know about it again [Laughter] Lane is taking Jason you got Jason then okay see you guys Johnny's coming out to my job site with the 185 John's got to go get his sugar for the morning start a day without having some sugar in his system oh Zach's gonna go do tires today on the black Kitty he's gonna get the tires switched around after that mowing for him yup yup mowing mowing help the guys moles get ahead on that all right that's the plan hey can you hear me okay hey hey I'm out here at the site and there's this weird fireplace thing does this go or stay I I don't know I got to get a hold of bill for that is there stuff is it in the way I'm heading up there right now to meet with you yeah it's definitely in the way yeah well well I mean it's not but it would be nice I could get the truck right up to the swimming pool if that was gone I don't know that they want to keep that that might be something he wants to keep I don't know all right I'll see you when you get it all right this all goes this all goes we already covered that let's make it go oh yeah I see it okay I mean there's no water coming out of it plus if you don't have any power nothing's gonna run the well pump but I don't know where the Well's at something I guess so do you know where the well might be ask him about that fireplace does that go or stay hey Phil does that does that fireplace go or stay let's go okay the little one with the Smoke Stack coming out the top of it made out of Boulders okay go all right um and then the well you you said you can see it right center is it buried under this board oh wow yep there it is that's a well yeah that's your well right there oh that's just gotta stay we just can't touch that yeah I didn't know there was a big void here that's just a well house basically a little well room right there huh yep okay yep yeah it's just a concrete slab right next to that that little post here and Bush right off the kind of corner of the um so yeah it's like a there's a you've got a ladder to climb down in there we weren't planning on taking that out oh you don't want to take that out no if you've got a well on your property you want to keep it well on your property it's always nice it's always nice to have a well yep so we'll get the tear up around you know yeah we'll just we'll just clean up around it did that well surprise you yeah I didn't even see that that was in there I didn't think about it either well I had no clue I had no clue I'm glad we had that conversation because I would have I would have been tearing into that yeah I know that's technical to me for you always dotting his eyes and Crossing his T's but that's why he runs everything now and I don't it's really cool wood here God you can make a cool uh I love that color it's so rich yeah ah even that's cool a day or two ahead of time and I had my entire Barn filled up and then I emptied it all out gave it all away filled it up again gave it all away that's just the way it goes when you do a lot of demos everything is cool until it until it takes up all the space at your own house I could this would be cool like tongue and groove in the like a bathroom wall like wainscoting I'm not disagreeing with you in any way shape or form seeing if it's a leftins you know your your thoughts I did I do know my antiques my antiques all right I got work to do I'm gonna fire up the excavator and uh I think the first thing I'm gonna do is just take all of this material and put it down into one end that way I got it all Consolidated I can just clean up the site while I'm waiting for Johnny to get here that's not something you see every day trees growing out of the side of the foundation of the swimming pool yeah arborvitae is that an arborvitae or a cedar I don't know it is what it is it's a tree growing out of the side of a foundation all right let's remove some swimming pool [Music] foreign Timmy decided he couldn't help but want to play to have fun running running equipment is a little like therapy though you're having a bad day go hop in a piece of equipment and play [Music] foreign see if you can peel this away from the house without wrecking the house I don't think so let's see if you can do it uh just see if it just see if you can do it [Music] I like to give them a challenge oh now he's gotta cheat that's cheating cheater yeah the whole thing's sitting on there huh no give it a shot yeah but if you do it gentle enough you could probably get her to rest because it's got footings back here I wonder if we should take this I'll just take the subgrade right now and then we can work our way let's leave this till you have the demo of the house you can't do it can you well if I do it I think it's just gonna collapse and want to fall in then we got a broken window mess and okay you know I mean yeah people making that side of things because it's sitting on there once you take that wall because these footings that go back I don't think it's sitting on it it's tied in with it that one is yeah maybe the poster in the back I don't know all right Emerson Drug Company shelter bromocellitzer Emerson Drug Company when we started to pull uh hydraulic thumbs were few and far between and a luxury [Music] so you gotta scoop a certain way like that would have been great to just pinch down but she won't pinch to use a static thumb you got to bring the whole bucket and machine to the thumb the thumb won't go to you a lot more of a challenge with her agreed hold on [Music] all right you gotta go oh there's some little sucker you go down there it was a mole they're mean they bite going to be a bit of a wasp nest when we go to knock this building down because there's a wasp there's a wasp mess there's a wasp there's two wasps and there's three of them right there Tim is legitimately the best equipment operator I've ever seen in my life he used this excavator with this exact setup to pull the wallet out of someone's back pocket he didn't have a fancy tilt Rotator he didn't have a hydraulic Pinchy thumb or Grabbers he used that bucket and that static thumb to reach out and grab a wallet out of someone's pocket one time he is the best I've ever seen in this kind of a piece of equipment foreign [Music] get this Foundation out without toppling the building you guys this had to be back in the day when they actually had extra building materials lying around that's all solid there's one that is one beefy piece of concrete right here all the way around Mike cabelco can barely lift this thing why would they just pour that solid screw cleaning out the truck let's just pour it all right in one spot jeez that had to be the front door hmm all right well we got to get that tree that tree is on the fence that tornado came through here and dropped the tree on the fence so let's get this tree off so some of you guys are following along this is the machine that I've got up for sale on auction right now but I am going to be replacing it and I want to hear what you guys would recommend I just want something that's just a little bit smaller and easier to maneuver so put it in the comments down below what you think I should look into I'm not picky about the make or the brand I like experimenting with all different kinds of equipment so let me know what you think I should buy so I think this used to be the actual Foundation of a building that was then converted over to being used as a swimming pool I don't know for sure but in the corner I find a monstrous piece of concrete and when you got a big piece of concrete that needs to be broken up will you use other pieces of concrete around it to break it up what do you think the chances of that Landing like that would actually be well we're gonna try to break this big chunk apart using stuff that we got to break apart anyway so Let's uh let's keep going on it foreign s on almost every project we do as contractors and I know you guys have had your fair share of surprises as well so I want to hear what surprises you guys encounter on your jobs on this one we had three one I found that bromide bottle which is pretty cool I mean we come across cool antiques buried in foundations more often than you think actually it's kind of we started to look for them the second surprise that I wasn't expecting was that big chunk of concrete in the corner that had to be the biggest chunk of concrete for a project like this that I've seen I mean I expected like on a commercial car wash or something but not on something like this that was just out of the blue unexpected and the third surprise which you guys didn't get to see at all is right there remember where that building used to be well all of my footage burned up I don't even know how it happened but everything after what you seen is missing so we had a good surprise with the bromide bottle a bad surprise with a giant chunk of concrete missing and then a third surprise which is a how does that even happen kind of surprise so tell me your surprise story but that's this project in a nutshell and you know what if you guys enjoy watching the process and uh you know just hanging out with us as we do jobs like this let me know in
