An excavator demolishes a house at the corner of Woodmont Avenue and Edgemoor Lane in Bethesda, Maryland. It is being razed to make way for a new apartment building with 154 units one block from the subway stop.
Produced by John Z Wetmore, producer of "Perils For Pedestrians".
Heart bleeds seeing such beautiful structure being brought down
It's nothing special
20 mins in: "ok boss, thats 71 woodmont flattened" boss: " i said 21 woodmont"
:-)))))) yeah babe
great video. however i tend to agree with the others who commented. what a waste of a beautiful house, and for an apartment building? a shame!
Its all about the money ,my present wife a philippina is going for my house I paid for JUST PURE GREED. 1 house = a few town houses..
It’s not helpful to anyone when that one house is unaffordable
At the end of the day, there getting payed
Progress......it’s has been this way since the romans and the Greeks
BUILD NEW COVER UP OLD.......STOP WHINING.....ITS ALSO THE AMERICAN WAY
Probably tore it down! To build the same high rise luxury apartments around the old house. Them apartments around the house look like they have just been built.
Destroying beautiful old homes to build crappy apartment buildings.
As Ned Kelly said :Such is life.
Let's say you own that property and the house is worth $250,000. Without even considering maintenance and allowing for a $2000.00 a month rental fee, in two months after the new construction, the owner is already making money and with the more valuable property he now has, he can leverage other projects.
@topixfromthetropix1674 why not sell the house cheap and have them move it? At least give someone the opportunity.
@PorkPieNews This is the disposable society we live in, unfortunately.
Wonderful skills of the Operator Engineer and the power of the machines. Poetry in motion.
Sorry to see the house go too.
I've been a "sidewalk superintendent" all my life and these are the best demolition videos I have ever seen! More please!!!
Love how he pushes the last part at 17:30. that is killer. great operator by the way
Wie kann man nur so ein wunderschönes Haus einfach platt machen!? Unfassbar!!! Andere hätten sich gefreut, in so einem schönen Haus wohnen zu dürfen.
this is the reason the uk is running out of family houses, just like in the us we have demolished wonderful homes and apartment buildings and replaced them with shoe boxe houses and death trap high rises.
It was a nice house.Slate roof was worth a fortune and would outlast those new buildings.
It’s amazing that nothing is recycled beforehand. The slates looked like new
b21playa recycling in this case is just not cost effective,sadly.
Beautiful home ! What a waste to tear it down
That was a beautiful brick house
Stop tearing down beautiful older homes!!!
It's disgusting to see this. I'm not too well off and could use a nice home to live in for a decent price instead of tearing it down. GRRRRR!!!!
Some one go tell the Hitachi driver he's just ripped down the wrong house.
A nice home huh..
So sad that a beautiful home was destroyed to make room for apartments or a parking lot.
Apartments, look at the description.
@@nancyp7301 I said apartments and with apartments parking lots usually follows.
@@nancyweliczko9334 Parking will be underground. Land in this area is too valuable for surface parking.
No strip out? Wiring wood tiles the hobo in the back room?
Love these video keep making them
When I spot a doomed building before it has been turned into a hole in the ground, I'll video it and add it to the collection.
Cool
The curtains still on the windows?
I love that bit @ 17:22. This guy really knows his trade.
No recycling, no dust prevention....
Dust mitigation?
I saw a homeless guy at the end of the expressway today, I'll bet he would have liked that place. What could have been so wrong with that house that they had to tear it down? You can't get a real brick house anymore, everything is cheap veneer.
Apartments ... it's all about the money.
Damn couldn’t they have tried to salvage the windows and brick for repurposing what a waist of material SMH 🤦🏻♀️
Get your pickup... Let's go pick up some bricks for our home ;)
They are old wood windows. Salvaging brick is very expensive.
Here in the netherlands the windows get removed all the wood is taken out sometimes the roof is dismantled and then the concrete and bricks are broken down they remove all the isolation and other junk in a big machine and the bricks and concrete is used as gravel so it can be done
@@melcofrans that's too intelligent for Americans, they only know how to destroy.
In Scotland we would remove the slate from the roof before demolition
Damn that was a nice home.
Best Demo Driver ever!!! He got the job Done!!!!! No messing about here!!
Its amazing how you pay thousands of dollars for your house for many years and its destroyed in hours
Bravi! Ottimo lavoro. Ora occorre separare bene i materiali di risulta e smaltirli adeguatamente.
What no water spray to keep dust down ?
Did see a couple of hoses?
There was no water hose on this job. So there was a lot of dust.
thanks
Thats cool at the end.he was like screw it.knock the whole side down.lol
Sorry to see such a well built, sturdy house go, but as is typical in city centers and as others said, yeah probably more valuable to put an apartment building there.
why.......
Makes me sick !!!
How bout those operator skills! I especially liked the end when he grabbed the roll-off dumpster and pulled it over a little bit. We're not quite done yet!
That driver with the skills isn't necessarily a man...I'm learning and hopefully teaching at the same time!
oh no this is a biutiful house !!!! my heart cry !!!
Totally satisfying !!
No separation of materials on that job .
Beautiful House gone replaced by an Ugly Apartment Building.
Cheap cardboard and sawdust apartments that looks like a faux pas town center thing.
Its called supply and demand.
It's called greed and keep demolishing perfectly good buildings is not only a waste of money it's also bad for the environment
@@dean-gm1lg Supply and demand. I am not a commie. Its a free market economy.
Have built brand new houses that don’t look as good as this house, WTF????
Petesy , maybe that's the problem. This house looked too good. It therefore had to go. How dare anyone live in a good looking house? (Just being sarcastic here. 🙂).
I think the reason it got tore down! Because it looked out of place.
Because if you look at the house it's surrounded by apartments! It does look out of place.
They probably want the whole area with apartment blocks. So nothing looks out of place.
The beautiful House 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭Why? I do not understand that?
is the apartment building to the right of screen also going?
No, it will be staying. It was built to the maximum allowed by local zoning.
I bet there alot of burned out house in the projects to be torn down. There's whole ares that are a street long of vacant house that are rotten down .That way they build some better place for people to live.
like imagine you go shopping for 1 hour and it takes 1 hour to tear down the house and clean it up
God-- Im glad I live in the country! What a waste! I could never live like a rat in a cage like that! This was really heartbreaking to watch!
I agree 10 times better then my home...but I wouldn't change being in the country...
Perché ?
When I was a child, in the 50's, much of the materials in a house were reused
Chris Moyler I wish it was still like that, but now all they build with is plywood, such a shame.
In Europe (especially Germany, Switzerland), they usually remove all interior, asbestos, wood, windows, isolations on the outside and sometimes even the whole roof and wooden ceilings before the excavator starts. So only Concrete and Bricks are left, and there‘s still enough to pick out the debris (bits of wood, rebar and metal). Demolition technique in the US is lacking far behind, it already starts with the excavators not having a full hydraulic quick coupler (oilquick)
@@peon9282 This building was not brick/block/concrete though. It was timber frame with brick cladding so a different technique needed. It may have been possible to separate some of the brick by peeling it off first, but the US way seems to be to smash the while lot and segregate materials later. Either that or landfill!
Oh my! Such a powerful machine.
Amazing, isn't it? It takes many skilled craftsmen, years to build & it is gone in a matter of hours.
Wtf...so Nice house ..
Why weren't the obvious Asbestos Transite Shingles on the front dormer a concern?
20 minutes smashing it down, 2 weeks sorting the different waste materials!
That beautiful house reduced to a pile of rubble, a shame really
Pitiful.... Purely Pitiful....
What an utter waste of an attractive house.
Operator knew what he is doing!
All of that beautiful aged wood and masonry - gone.
Lincoln Lane , and to make sure it's gone and can never be used again, it is torn apart and smashed. What amazes me is that wood this good is hard to get these days at a lumber yard. Perfectly straight lumber, such as used in this house's construction
My x wife sold the house we lived in for many years the new owners have 15 units on my old home now.while i,m old and almost broke..
Hahahaha
slate is a valuable thing they should have took the slate off & salvaged the floorboards along with all the stud walls instead of destroying the lotI worked at a reclamation yard & its amazing how fast reclaimed wood & roof slate sells
jason adams , especially true about reclaimed wood. Seems that you can't find good straight lumber, like the type used in this house, in a lumber yard any more.
It might sell well but how much do you pay the demolition company to bring them in. There has to be enough money in it to make it worthwhile to reuse the material.
All busted up to matchwood !!! no recycling that lot
I told you to blow the bloody doors of not to pull it down
The x-wife got the house in divorce settlement.
But I got the property, so I shipped the house to her.
Assembly video included, just play in reverse.
Did I mention she got the car also.... Part2 coming soon..
Das schöne Haus 😥
what a total waste of a good house.
He ripped thru that, in 1/2 hour, if he was charging h hourly rate, does that mean it’s 1/2 price for his labour?
No dust suppression here
for sale, brick house.. great neighborhood. Needs work
If you don't separate brick/concrete from garbage you will be paying some very expensive dump fees
The big bad wolf huffed and puffed and blew the house down.
It's a fucking shame that they tare down beautiful homes
Just saw Will Smith running up the stairs!🤖🤣
😂
Discussting waste of goods so much for the environment and savings the planet
Looks good from the outside but there are reasons this happens. Never know what the inside is like or in the walls(rot, mold, ect) . There are many reasons this happens, right or wrong 🤔
In this case, the land was worth more than the house. It's a block from the Metro station, and they are putting up a tall apartment building like the one next to it.
i kant get my head round this what a stunning well looked after house what a crime to do this to it this house was well built and to do this to it and it would of been worth tens of thousands its beyond me i kant understand any logic
There are so many comments on these types of videos saying the house was perfectly good or they are just putting up cardboard apartments. If you don't have personal knowledge of these situations it doesn't make sense to put them down for their decisions to get rid of a building. I have done a lot of buildings where once you see the inside you realize the building can't be saved. Sometimes it's water damage, mold, rot or termites that make it look fine on the outside but not liveable. Or the concrete or brick foundation can be so broken up that it is not economical to fix it. People who make comments about the recycling might have a point but the contractor makes an economic decision of comparing the sales value of the used material to the huge labor cost, time, and safety factors. As far as the supposition that garbage apartments will be put up on its place that doesn't make sense. It will be replaced with a structure that will house many more people, increase density so hopefully there will be less traffic on the roads, and blend in with the rest of the neighborhood. Get rid of the past to make way for the future.
Unfortunately you’ve just made everyone’s point. It’s all about money with people who carry our demolition or buy land even if the building can be saved or repurposed.
Skilful operator taking no prisoners!!
First demo video I seen with a pretty good operator....all these demo videos the operators came from McDonald's I do believe
Used to be a nice cozy neighborhood,that house new probably sold fo $35,000.00.Bethesda is destroyed.
A nice old house - what a waste!
Курятник - стены толщиной 0.5 кирпича!
She locked me out for the last time
I don't know how many times my mom locked me out of the house when I was growing up
Recycling? What's that...........?
If I was a neighbor there I would shut it down until they got some dust control going
le gros méchant gars a démolie ma maison !
Shame on them do so for some one house...
17:18 What you came for
The holdout house
I get the land needed re purposing, shame we cant just pick these houses up & drop them somewhere else. WHat a lovely house. Oh, oh dear. I say lets build airships that can be hovered down and hook onto a steel frame bolted to the house, lift these gems elsewhere. Of course this would be dangerous and a bad idea and cost more than moving it brick by brick. So sad to see it go so aggressively. But also kinda cool, in a sad way.
NAH !!
C'est un gaspillage de détruire une aussi bonne maison ! Les ardoises du toit étaient de belle qualité. Que ne ferions nous pas pour gagner ... un peu plus d'argent ?
Rest of world:Most of that can be recycled.America:Tear it all down,quick.Recycling what does that mean?Just bury it.
I'm sure the local trash company appreciated them demoing the house on top of the rental trash can behind the house. Lazy workers couldn't even be bothered to pull it out to the side of the road. Not a big deal, but typical of how lazy and wasteful our society is today.
0:20 the is getting demolished
A well built house demolished to put a cardboard apartment building in its place.
Tom Lahaye , I guess they call that progress.
Are you sure you got the right house? ....... Oh no it was the next house over... Oh well. Better luck next time....that would be funny!
völlig intaktes Haus wird abgerissen... OMO...
Money talks!
What a waste of a perfectly good house.
alles durcheinander in deutschland wird das sortiert schon beim Abriss
Sad.
And thus we see beforth futility in all its splendor, hope this video is used as evidence against the contractor for the unenviable amount of public safety violations & improper practices, nail em to the wall $$$$$$$$$$$$.
