    Guys, question. Do you leave ONE WALL UP when doing demo? In New England; there are two types of teardowns; one complete, where you have to go through HeII in front of the Planning Board for like a year BEGGING them to sign-off on your plans, OR two; a "renovation" in which you demo everything except ONE WALL and build new around it. The second one is extremely easy in which to get Permission, while TOTAL DEMO is much more difficult to gain permission. Is this the case everywhere, in the rest of the nation? Thank you.

      @@Jgeneraledger23 I’ve never heard of anything like that around here. Government regulations are pretty reasonable here. The biggest challenge is that every municipality has a different way that they want things done. Different inspections, different ways of dealing with utilities.

  • @bp8841

    Do you have the house tested for asbestos and lead. Also does ohio have regulations on dust control like do you normally have to have someone there with a hose hosing it down as you tear it down. And can you crush the block up and use it for part of the back fill for a basement

    • @zaccheus
      @zaccheus  7 месяцев назад

      All of the municipalities have different regulations around here. The EPA doesn't have any regulation on single family dwellings to my knowledge. Some towns want certain things test for, others do not. This city wanted a rodent inpection and abatement and well as insect inspection and abatement. This city also allowed us to crush masonry down to 6" and use it as fill. The floor was allowed to stay as long as we perforated it to allow water passage. Not all of the municipalities around here will allow that.

    How did you prep the sewer, gas, water, electrical lines?

    • @zaccheus
      @zaccheus  7 месяцев назад +1

      Sewer was a septic system. We went through the county abandonment procedure for that. Account owner was required to call and have electric and gas cut off. Both of those utilities remove their own lines. And it had a well in the basement which we followed the county's well abandonment procedure for.

      Oh wow, thats cool. That would make sense. I believe this house was built in 1925. I think the house had been updated at least once. Would they have likely been made in Youngstown, Ohio? That's only about an hour from us.

    There was a lot of aluminum on that house. Is it not worth taking that off for scrap?I notice no one tearing down a house takes off the aluminum but takes the appliances I was just curious

    • @zaccheus
      @zaccheus  10 месяцев назад +1

      Excellent question! The siding is mostly a wash. The time to collect it and haul it costs about as much as it pays at the scrap yard. It doesn't take up too much weight or space in the dumpsters and so I only save the pieces that are easy to save. The appliances are not allowed in the dumpsters and so I have to separate those out. They take less time to separate, but there still isn't much profit on them. It's just important to keep them out of the dumpsters.

    Zach I’m surprised you didn’t take your mini and strip the siding off first and the awnings also surprised siding wasn’t insulated like you said lunch $ we’re headed to scrap yard anyway. I’m also surprised the county or the individual who hired you didn’t want the foundation walls and floor removed from the site. Job went well Got to be better the tree climbing

    • @zaccheus
      @zaccheus  10 месяцев назад

      All fair thoughts. The aluminum siding was just a bonus, when it was easy to separate, I separated it, but there wasn't enough mi ey it to spend a substantial amount of time on it with that big machine sitting there. I also thought about pulling the copper pipes out before demolition, but I gotta draw the line somewhere 🤷‍♂️
      Each city has different requirements around here. This city just wanted the floor perforated so that it didn't hold water and the walls hauled off or crushed so that there weren't any pieces bigger than 6". That red block crushed up very easily.

      Yeah I do always feel bad about that. The place had pictures on the wall and everything. The people that inherited it are the folks responsible for letting the place fall into a condition that warranted demolition. If anyone, I would have expected them to be the most interested in preserving the place.
