Back in the 70s, doing this was one of my first jobs. It taught me how to build houses and I enjoyed doing it.
I worked for a demo crew but by hand so it was this. Learning how to take a house apart gave me an edge once I made the jump to building them
I bought an old home built in the 1860’s for $800 in north Ga. It was a 5 br,r fireplace with hand hewn beams 16’ around every room square.
I hate to see all these big cities old homes go to waste.
This method is used in Australia quite extensively. The deconstruction of a period style home can be very advantageous to the home renovator.
Plus it saves on landfill
Thats the best way to do it make money on the goods and its very tidy as well
I bought all the materials to a house for 2500 that’s everything in it wood and all cause a friend wants it tore down and I’m building a house for me and my wife doing all the work ourselves we’re deconstructing his and reusing to build ours
3200 square ft. home. Holy shit!
So is deconstruction mainly an option for people looking to rebuild on the property?
I have an old home that me and my brother inherited from a grandparent. The house is old and it had been broken into and vandalized by copper theives. Anyway we have been told that the fix up cost was going to be very expensive making the house difficult to sell. So I have been open to possibly demolishing the house to sell the land. If we do demolish the house we have no interest in rebuilding on the land.
So for our situation is it better to just demolish the house or is deconstruction still a good option?
Bulldozer and a wreaking ball 😂😂 for a house that small wonder how expensive that would have been
It's a noble effort in relocating a termite colony to another home
I currently want to deconstruct a 1900s home.
I deconstructed a 200 year old home. It was put together almost entirely out of tongue and groove construction and all of the nails were square cut hand made nails.
@@kenjimac2211 What city and state are you in? I would love to link up.
Tax deduction. Big takeaway.
Never thought that is more Gooder. than smashing it down with a machine thing amajig
"More gooder"😆😅🤣😂
we're interested
A match is cheaper and easier you could buy new materials from the insurance claim
I will tored down my house when it comes to getting old and not use able. In the 5 months from yesterday
"requires more labor...", translate, "it will cost you more."
IT WILL SAVE THE PLANET MORE AND IT WOULD BE BETTER IF IT WAS ALWAYS DONE THIS WAY INSTEAD OF DOING IT THE LAZY WAY TRANSLATE THE BULLDOZER ALL THE TIME
It does cost more...but if you are able to donate a significant amount of product to Habitat for Humanity the tax receipt your get from them can lower your costs in the end making it an economical option that is more environmentally friendly and helps support affordable housing. It will still take a bit longer though.
Wow are you one of those math doers with a lot of smarticals.
WHY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Worker: "This is a prime example of why we deconstruct..."
**voice over talks over the top of his entire explanation**
It's good wood. Probably redwood as the owner mentioned at the end. My father explained that wood before was very good quality and more resistant to termites, versus the quicker wood nowadays. Redwoods are 1000s of years old trees, there are very beautiful. That wood is on another level.
So the homeowners deconstructed the house but kept some material yet keep tax credits. Doesn't seem right.
Isn't it considered larceny to steal pieces of a house
Does the neighbors know about the mold spores being released by disturbing the materials?
I have a feeling they don't
Or you didn't talk to them
They only get credit for what will be donated so the stuff they keep probably ends up costing them
They are doing a high end renovation and calling it a deconstructing. So what?
Right toomuch property. brothers type shows influencing America to be a throw away house society getting kickbacks from Lowe's and home Depot dammit with those shows just plain hyper consumerism is all and yet they couldn't afford to buy a happy meal for their kids from McDonalds
Why didn't they paint the house prior to deconstruction
But they have an aquarium of goldfish to look after. Who's taking care of them as the school bus turns around. Pitiful if you ask me.
Are they going to have a coke while doing this? I don't even see one bottle or can on location just dishes in the sink that's OK they should drink water anyways don't you think?
This aged like spoiled milk lol
Quit playing games and Bulldoze it.
Yes it would be more funner that way they could laugh the tooth out of their head and more quickly pull the trailer home on the location man America's great that would never happen in my country of bolognia.mustard providence. By the tomatoes river down from Colby cheese water shed.
What if a board falls and hit you in the face deconstruction is all fine and great until someone loses an eye
