It's amazing how now a days they can tear down a building and still do no harm to one being still used it's connected to. In my state we have a company that does this also but they start from the inside out.
A very interesting building. Thanks for posting this, John. I'm glad you explained in the comments on the last video how this building was hung on the side of the one next to it. The shots of them cutting the front and back walls, and the one of remains of the cut trusses were helpful. Thanks. It looks like the whole back of the building was one huge room. A plastered ceiling, 20 feet high or so, and finished walls. Then a drop ceiling was added, but still pretty tall. What was it used for? Looks like it was intended for warehouse space, but there's no visible access for unloading goods. The concrete center structure is also interesting. Very basic re-enforced concrete. Just two rebars in the bottom of the beam, and four in the corners of the columns. Do you know when this was built? I'd think the steel columns were to support HVAC equipment on the roof. But there were no beams running across the roof. Had they already been removed?
Built in 1944. (The one next to it was built in 1941.) I don't know the original use, but in recent years it has been retail, most recently a mattress store. The steel columns were added a couple of decades ago to support additional floors that were never built. In conjunction with the construction of 6936, which had heavily reinforced walls that were also intended to support additional floors. The main purpose of 6936, which was never fulfilled, was to provide access to those additional floors on 6950. Instead, it just provided access to the basement of 6950. (Otherwise, 6936 was a small building that made no sense by itself.) I'm going by the address numbers on the front of the buildings for 6936 and 6950. Some property records have them reversed.
@@JohnZWetmore Thanks, John. I did notice the basement stairs in 6936 which seemed to take up a lot of room in such a small building. That explains them.
Not a rookie he always works like this messy dangerous and slow. The building virtually falls down itself while he is busy robbing the wiring and flashing. He is trying to separate the masonry to fill the basement but as usual no proper plan or execution. He mixed up all the stuff first then tries to separate it. But all the while he is using his incredible one of a kind unique skill to pull strands of wire with the biggest machine available. I would fire fire his ass immediately even if he owns the business. He must own the business because nobody would pay someone to faf about like this for so many jobs. There was a good half hours worth for the bit of demolition there and even edited it took two hours. As always great camerawork. great patience.
I'd guess he's doing just what the management wants... separating materials for best advantage in disposal. He's separating recyclable metal out, then separating the remainder to reduce dumping costs.
@@rhythmblackheart917 Actually, it no longer was. At 0:20 you can see them cutting away the connection at the front, and at 0:40 the back wall. But those were all taken earlier. At 27:48 you can see that the roof trusses have all been cut away from the other building and the far half of the roof has fallen in. At 31:38 you can see more clearly where the trusses have been cut away from the other building. At 31:40 you can see him pulling the back wall in, carefully to avoid it falling into the alley, but it's already free of the next building.
Another un-watchable company/operator. I remember when I started working life an older worker wanting to look busy moved a box in the warehouse then straightened it up again. This is the same when you see the grab line up for a bite only to move away. Painful.
Someone really, really needs to make a video game of this.

Demolition companies get info on what building is made of and use certain attachments accordingly

That concrete beam was pretty much only for appearances, given the lack of rebar and how easily it came apart.
Yeah. Two pieces of rebar seems like overkill.
Definite rooky!! Getting paid by the hour!

6:17細かいことチマチマやるより、パワーショベルで一気に崩してからやったほうが早い。オペレーターは初心者か?
arbeiten, nicht spielen!!!!
Es ist sehr ermüdend da zu zuschauen. 👎😫
I stopped watching after about 6 minutes....That was difficult to watch....The whole "paid by the hour" thing going on....
I'd guess he's doing just what the management wants... separating materials for best advantage in disposal. He's separating recyclable metal out, then separating the remainder to reduce dumping costs.
No he's doing it because it's still connected to a building they are using if you pay attention.

Some one needs to show this guy how to take down a Building
Too slow boring
driver verry stupic

Just wasting a lot of time and fuel, even for a new operator.
