- On 3-31-17, we bought the house next door and had it demolished (along with the garage on our house). For the video taken from the front (higher production value), see • Demolition of 509 Clif...
For those who are concerned about the asbestos, please note: (1) We followed all laws and regulations about asbestos removal, with permits and government approval. (www.epa.gov/sites/production/.... (2) The demolition was performed with government inspectors and an elaborate air monitoring system present the whole time.
It's a long video, showing most of the demolition. Skip to the last minute if you just want to see the land without the house.
One my favorite demo videos, dude just straight leveled that house hard 💪💯
Someone's pride and joy. A warm home in winter. Families were raised in that house. How soon we are gone and forgotten. Be all you can to your family. You'll need that more than money if you should be granted a long life.
I have to say , this operator is one of the best, if not the best operator,s i have seen, with out a doubt he's decisive, accurate, and most important fast, he waste no time, other then his cell phone, which with out a doubt is another job calling for his expertise. Good Job.
Yes! We really enjoyed watching him do his work.He's well-respected in the business.
Worked for a demo company for 10 years as a dump trailer driver. Out guys were some of the best in the business. We always checked all structures for asbestos before demo proceeded.
We had a sister company that took care of all the abatement.
This was all done under the watchful eye of the EPA.
@@ithacajosh4155 We never had any trouble from those guys down here in SC.
Wow, I’ve never seen a house demolished. Now it’s here , and now it’s gone! It’s amazing how the right machinery made such an “easy” job of it. That thing takes big bites and just crunches them up. I was also impressed at how he didn’t damage the nearby building when he took the roof down. Thanks for sharing!
Just an old, ordinary, wooden house. No architectural significance, just plain jane. Its demolition and clearance is no loss to that neighborhood.
The Dog is stunned by all the extra garden to play in!
20:45 to the 20:55 mark. Priceless.
What a great job the machine driver and his man on the hose made of that demolition in difficult conditions
Love the garage and in-law quarters that you put in there. Very slick, I was wondering what you were going to do on that hill. Saw it on GoogleMaps street view.
Oh, the dreams we have. There will be a lot of fill, not to level the backyard front to back, but to make it a little more even from side to side. We will also fill so that a vehicle can drive down along the south border of the yard and get to the backyard. The slope isn’t as extreme as it seems, and I’ve lived there for almost thirty years, so I’m used to it. Thanks for the kind words!
Here's a timelapse video of the new garage foundation construction: ruclips.net/video/aP0RaVgBe9A/видео.html
and then the building construction: ruclips.net/video/z4orr8DSKoc/видео.html
Can't see Health & Safety Regulations in UK allowing just a hose to keep any asbestos from turning to dust and getting into the air. I'm sure they would have had to have stripped all asbestos out first. Wouldn't even be allowed to mix asbestos with any other material.
I’m sure you’re right, although they did take all sorts of precautions.
Those old homes have REAL 2X4's in them and are worth money to people restoring heavily damaged older homes. Deconstruction saves our landfills; and materials.
Thanks for your comment. Actually, I must correct you. As extreme lovers of the environment who are very conscious of the need to reuse and recycle, we were very attentive to these issues when we had the home demolished. There were no hardwood floors (all plywood), and the construction was extremely shoddy (ceilings were only about two meters), so even the sill plates, framing, and studs were water-damaged and of no use. All materials were of the lowest quality. Even with this being said, we had the local reuse/recycle operation come and take what they wanted for resale or reuse. There was some copper and other scrap metal, which were recycled. The windows were actually not reusable because all but one of the vapor barriers were compromised and many were physically broken. It was, I admit, sad, but this home really needed to go to a better place.
Twenty minutes in the cat or two months of hammer and crowbar
I like how he keeps collapsing the house on itself and keeps everything in a nice neat pile then loads it up in the truck so skillfully. really awesome work. good operator. how long has he been doing demo?
I have a demolition company in my area that’s very fast and efficient at residential demolition, and they get most of the demolition jobs in the area. When UPMC Susquehanna Williamsport Regional Medical Center and Penn College bought up many properties, they hired Steinbacher Enterprises, Inc. to destroy the house on each purchased property.
Our operators allways used pinchers instead of the bucket and thumb. we could change out a bucket for a pincher in 5 minutes. And we used Clement round bottom steel trailers so we could put anything in it with no worries. Also had a couple of Monstars tall trailers for volume C and D.
Sad to see all that lumber being destroyed. Salvaging is expensive, I know, but clean, straight wood is getting almost impossible to find.
We offered it up to multiple organizations and companies. No one would take it because of quality, length of studs, and the asbestos.
THE CONTRACT WAS FOR 506 CLIFF ST..LETS LOAD UP AND GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE !!!!!
exellent video,
So this was in Ithaca NY . Found it after seaching many PA and NY cities with the same address.
Yup.
Nice job and you have some cute dogs love the video
Be sure to take Dramamine before you watch this video. The camera operator was unable to hold the camera steady
You’d think that if a person was to stand there for as long as he did he’d have used a tripod.
I was thinking that was an ugly little house and after I read your comments about the ceiling height and so on ,it's not surprising you bought it and flattened it. I would have too.
Very satisfying to watch
looks much better....also, nice dog at the end.
Look at the Solor Panels an the Red house
is it the right house ?
Oh my gosh. I remember that house.
VGAPR Garage Oh funny! Did you know the Josephs?
me too .. i used to play in that house and i drank water from that tap and i peed in that toilet .. OMG .. its gone now , all i have is the memories in that house .. i remember farting in the back room
R.I.P. (Rest In Pieces)
ha ha!
@@ithacajosh4155 Or ripped into pieces...
That's a powerful machine
Was there any asbest in those facade plates? Just courious. Nice video! :)
Yes. Asbestos everywhere: exterior shingles, floor tiles, vermiculite in attic. And thanks for the kind words!
Oki. Thank's for your reply!
Is Cliff Street a major arterial street or part of a state highway because it appears very busy with a lot of truck traffic.
Yes, a state road and very busy.
Wish this had been filmed from the front, I would have loved to have seen more of the inside of the house. Also kept saying at the good parts; "Zoom IN... Zoom IN...".
Ask and you shall receive. ruclips.net/video/o2fCP12du6I/видео.html
that is a killer machine, literally. huge and powerful, and I love the metal cage to protect against falling crap. wow what power. beautiful to watch him work.
those old siding shingles were made with asbestos.
Yes, that’s correct.
i don't know what town this is but if i'm not mistaken that is asbestos siding on that house tell me i'm wrong i thought they had to remove that first
im not even sure this is in the united states
steven herrold It’s a an asbestos-safe demolition. There was asbestos throughout the building. It was monitored and watched by the EPA. That’s why they’re spraying water on it.
How much does that excavator weigh?
I can’t believe you can unload right on the road without protecting it. We always have to lay down old tires first. How did you get over the sidewalk,we put down steel plates.
They thought they would damage the sidewalk rolling the excavator over it, but they didn't--all was fine.
Very efficient work , spaying water is excellent idea !!!!!!!!!!!!
Why do people ask questions and make comments without reading the descriptions?
Tong Sheng Because that’s what people do, I guess. I wonder the same thing.
Thanks for the comment! :)
what is your problem ?
james bailey - Idiots too lazy to read and consequently repeatedly ask the same questions...
Cleavland Brown falls out the front in a bathtub...NO...NO....NO...NO!
I would have liked to seen it all.......... even if was an hour and a half.....or 2 hours.
Well it's your lucky day, because here's another vid of the same demolition: ruclips.net/video/o2fCP12du6I/видео.html
So why was all the concrete debris left? looks a little trashy left like that..
Because it's clean fill and we're filling a great deal. Also, building in that spot. building is getting there! Will post more videos as we develop the property.
Here's the construction of the foundation of the new garage: ruclips.net/video/aP0RaVgBe9A/видео.html
and then the building construction: ruclips.net/video/z4orr8DSKoc/видео.html
Would have liked to see a GoPro camera on the excavator stick.
What a great idea!
Is this in the North East ? Upstate New York ?
Reel Fun Yes.
its east west
Very funny James .
What are you going to put in its place?
John M. Evangelis A garage and in-law apartment. Almost done with that. Next year a deck between.
That's nice you are looking after your wife's parents. God bless you!!!
Looks like asbestes siding on that old house
Yes--it was an asbestos-safe removal. Lots of regulations and precautions.
@@ithacajosh4155 Yeah, lots of precautions, like what exactly? water hose?
That's how my mom died, lived next to a house being demolished, no water was used
The shingles,when whole, are non friable. When broken the asbestos is released Into the air. When the tiles are painted, or encapsulated, they are safe. The amount of asbestos released from a painted tile is miniscule.
Don't know about your state code but in mine you would still have to have all the precautions and monitoring, but you have to still remove all the asbestos tiles i see on the exterior by hand without breaking and dubbed bag and carted separate and not just wet down and commingled. Very sad the some work. Just saying!
Hi. Thanks for commenting. There were EPA monitors there the whole time- people as well as machines to test the air for any friable asbestos. It’s true that I would have had to remove all the tiles if the structure had not been condemned. But since it was condemned, and uninhabitable, it’s legal to tear it down in an asbestos friendly way and bring all of the debris to an asbestos safe landfill.
So close to the road. Seems like it could be moved down the road.
Do you hear how brittle that place is, a can of gasoline and a match and it would have down in half the time.
Ha ha. That would have been fun, if a bit dangerous.
White asbestos tile siding? Shouldn't they be treated as HazMat?
It was treated as HazMat. Digital monitors, human EPA inspector the whole time, spraying water, masks and hazmat suits...
How did the demo contractor get by without removing the asbestos siding???
Brian Mullins -I’m not sure how it works in your locality, but this is the way it works here. The building had lots of asbestos throughout, including the siding. The home was condemned because it was uninhabitable (for many reasons not related to the asbestos). Once condemned, the owner is allowed to demolish and remove the entire structure, protecting the environment and immediate area from asbestos contamination. So it was an “asbestos-safe” removal You’ll notice the guy spraying water and another just watching. Those are state-certified asbestos abatement experts. The water keeps friable asbestos out of the air.
The entirety of the building remnants went to an asbestos-protected landfill.
Then wherever it ends up, the water dries out...
Yes, which is true whether they remove it or don't. Wherever it goes, there it is. :-)
Hopefully!
@@ithacajosh4155 lol this would never be legal in europe
It would have been a much better video id the camra man had a tripod. Soooo, how much did that cost?
ha ha. I know. I never expected anyone to watch it. I only filmed it for posterity. Somewhere north of 20K. We'll leave it at that.
Понятно кому понадобилась эта территория, судя по тому большому красному дому!
It's legal because there is no dust, and it was all hauled off.
I love that house next door
Thanks. We replaced the torn-down house with a free-standing two-car garage and apartment above, in the original style.
we can see why called 'Cliff Street"
hi , i like your SOH .. you are sweet .. love you :)
Place looked like a firetrap to me! I would say they did this once or twice before
This video was making me seasick. You need to use a tripod. Looked like you were swatting mosquitoes while filming.
Agree. Maybe the camera guy has some kind of desease.
I was sleeping in this house when they did this... I woke up in the back of a dump truck... WTF? Give a guy a heads up the next time!
I saw that, how irresponsible of them.
That thing would have killes you.
Wait you were there also? Damn dude we were roommates and didn't even know
You left your soup cooking on the stove when you fell asleep! Gotta be more careful....coulda burnt the house down!!
What where you Smoking ?
Nice drive motors bro
That excavator will break the side walk
james dickson The operator said the same thing. But magically, it did not break the sidewalk. When I talked to the city, they said it was because they do 6 inch thick sidewalks on the main streets, rather than four-inch thick.
Nice
Good fast job
Was ist denn das für eine Pappschachtel
Its a shame really. Might of been possible, to Reclaim some things. Might of had hardwood floors, The windows really couldof been saved and either donated or something
Hi! Thanks for posting on my video. As extreme lovers of the environment who are very conscious of the need to reuse and recycle, we were very attentive to these issues when we had the home demolished.

I mean i can understand that. now a days what i been seeing is homeowners sometimes will post ads on like craiglists or even in newspapper and will post something about house being torn down. and see if anyone would like to come in, look around and see what might be able to be reused for someone doing projects. Remember seeing one of these posts on craigslist that was a few days old. it had a time limit where house was going to be torn down and had not passed. So i went by see if i could grab some used windows. Got there. all that was left of the 2 story house was just all framing. could see thur whole house. asked person there, what happened. Said a company came in, Slavaged almost every in the house. even cleaned up afterwards, placing sheetrock and the insulation into garbage bags and even swept up. They even took the shingles from the roof. The house was just framing with plywood on roof. was pretty amazing. But just shows what posting on sites and or newspapers can do. Dont know what will happen if Not at least try first
Thanks for sharing your experience. Unfortunately, there was very little to salvage here. The studs were very short (ceilings were barely 2 meters high), and everything was rotten and water damaged.
@@ChakatNightspark that is the differance from demo to deconstruct, we deconstruct when we can, we will even save the sheeting from the roofs, someone outthere always need something in the way of materials, the only problem is money, deconstruct costs about the same on a structure like this but it slows the process and the deconstruction also need larger places for the materials to be stored and sold, that is why the bids for a quick demo are so much cheaper, the owners also normally dont like the extra time spent, they look at it as time is money, and it is, however a home like this can be deconstructed with a good crew without the expense of heavy equipment in about a 3 week time schedual versus what an hour maybe 2 hours with the excavator, that 3 weeks of property down time, after doing several properties that way the added time gets pricey, I am in Arizona, all this is based on local experiances, working with people that flip properties etc.
Travis--that's very interesting. We contacted two deconstruction businesses (had no problem with a longer time frame), and both of them said they wouldn't touch the house, because of the condition and quality of the materials used (built in 1934). Also, the roof shingles, the newest part of the house, were 20 years old and unusable.
Here's a more recent view of the property:

tripod was a bit shakee.
Ha ha. No tripod. I hand held the whole thing.
Ali jaz uma casa .
I can't believe the house had nothing of value. The windows looked good.
Gary Johnson Truly it had nothing. Short beams; no hardwood. Everything moldy and/or rotted. The house was built in 1935 on a shoestring (I know the family that built it) We offered the whole house to more than one reuse/recycle place, and there was nothing of any use. We did salvage one window, but the vapor barriers and the panes were mostly broken. It was sad.
nice solar panels 👍
Neighbors:This old house has to go
Caterpillar::say less
House:🖕 asshole hope yo property tax go up 10%
Not a single part was undamaged.
Except the very few things we were able to salvage...
A very good backhoe operator.
The guy holding the hose must get tired.
Oh shit!! Right address wrong street!!
breaking news !!! breaking news !! its the wrong house that they demolished , it was supposed to be the one on the other side .. OMG !!!!
What’s up with water.
Virginia Hoke - Wiley It’s required for keeping any asbestos from becoming friable, according to EPA standards for demolition of a building containing asbestos.
Oh ok thanks
Looks like Asbestos siding.
Yes, they were asbestos. If you read the comments you can see how it was handled.
@@ithacajosh4155 Here in Mass. you can't remove it that way. Must be done by hand and placed in plastic bags. No dust is to be spread in the air.
20:58 when kids complain that there's not enough to support them and mother always said we have bread on the table and a roof over our.........................8 seconds later........ BOOM ROOF GONE. oh shit we gon be livin on da streets.
Cute dog.
The reality of this demolition site is nobody was home when the demolition took place. They wouldn’t demolish an occupied house. Most likely took a few days to build 509 Cliff St. but under a day to destroy it.
If this happend in Norway then you will get the gouverment after you and a BIG ticket, many t
tousen $
I am told that in Norway 80 percent of the house has to be recycled and the new structure has to be built using 60 percent recycled materials, is there any truth to that? If so great, I think the rest of the world should take their lead.
this is the honest truth-------> if i won one of those gazillion dollar lotteries i would buy me one of these to play with...hell i would tear your house down no charge just to get my cookies : )
When that same guy was tearing down a small commercial building in a nearby town I ask him if I could spend the day operating the excavator, Nope, pleading didn't help, his employees told me he is the only operator, they aren't allowed to touch the machine, he bought the excavator and he's the only one at the controls. I was disappointed.
Head to Detroit then.
@@daveywaves5325 and than Flint since that city is loaded with decrepit, abandoned houses.
Can't you keep that friggin camera steady?
So sorry. I didn’t really expect anyone to watch this video. It was only for my own posterity. If I had to do it over again, I would grab the tripod.
Shut up you stupid idiot
Even if it was condemned you could have reclaim some of the building materials, windows et cetera. What a waste
Thanks for your comment. Actually, I must correct you.

The never satiated gaping maw of the ravenous house eater...sounds like smashing a bag of chips....
Too jittery and to much panning in and out. Can't watch.
Ha ha. So sorry, and I'm not surprised! It was my first time ever holding a video camera, and it was rainy and COLD!!
We all goto learn sometime, good luck. Billy in Canada. PS It's -22 here today
Zoom In, zoom IN! LoL!
Go whine about something else.
das sieht aus wie aus Pappe...lol kein wunder das die Häuser bei jedem Sturm davonfliegen...
please put the camera on a tripod next time.
Thanks for your comment. Honestly, since I only recorded this for myself for posterity, and not for anyone to see, I was not even slightly careful about the video quality. I never expected anyone to watch this video.
Please control yourself.
a nice touch at the end depicting the aftermath, so peaceful and quiet with the dog, but why was that particular house demolished??
The house was uninhabitable and, therefore, condemned. So we demolished it.
That particular house had no architectural significance, it was ordinary and plain jane. So its demolition is no loss to that neighborhood. The cleared parcel with the beautiful, lovable dog looking down the hill is a much more appealing site.
Wrong house
House looks rite for asbestos shingles.
Now you have a much better view eh!
HEY, THAT'S THE WRONG HOUSE! Take the red one, leave the white one alone! OOOPS!
That's all they do in central New York , Tear down old houses and run the economy into the ground . The Democrats urban renewal
Kerry Pope Hi. Thanks for commenting on my video. Unfortunately, this house had to go-it was poison and unsafe-could not be legally inhabited or restored. Have you been to Ithaca? The general trend here for the past hundred years has been to restore rather than demolish. While your comment is true in a lot of struggling towns and cities in Central NY, it’s really not the case here.
Have a lovely day.
I am from Auburn , I played hockey as a youth in Ithaca . My cousin DJ at a couple of bars in Ithaca . I am happy to see you are doing well in central NY , They have driven lots of industry out of central NY
Kerry Pope Cartainly true.
@@kerrypope767 look at Syracuse and Binghamton, both those cities are struggling due to loss of industry.
@@robertpreskop4425 That's why I left N.Y IN 1984 .... I have visited a few times
asbestos siding
Very true.
WTF, last time I hire this company, i said demo the bathroom, damn son
lots of armchair demolition experts here lol...always glad to see ugly, shitty old buildings get torn down
Why would you buy a house, just to destroy it? That makes no sense.
Thanks for your comment. There were a lot of reasons. I’ll list a few:
The home was dangerously close to ours; its lack of structural integrity threatened ours. The home was condemned and not up to local safety and structural codes; to bring it up to code would’ve been much more expensive than tearing the house down. The home had 6‘6“ ceilings throughout and was very badly designed. The home was an eyesore and we wanted to improve the neighborhood. There were rats and other vermin in the house, and it was a health hazard. The smell that emanated from the home was truly repulsive. The home was a fire hazard. I could go on and on.
Why would a person make a negative and judgmental comment on the actions of a perfect stranger, when she knows absolutely nothing about the situation? That makes no sense.
Dogs are wondering what append here !!!!!!!
