I work in Demolition myself. These types of demolitions are never fun. I feel bad whenever I must do this but, it is life. Hopefully you guys can recover.
Life hasn't and won't stop! It was a long road to recovery, but we made it! Cheers!
@@RobertLHargraveIII hope you all are doing well.
I am so sorry at the loss of your home. I hope things are getting better for you and your family. Wishing you all the best in 2019.
Thank you very much for the condolences and well wishes Chrissy!!! I really do appreciate it! All the best to you too!
This made me remember the time my mother's house caught fire around 1960. I grabbed a pickaxe and broke into the side of the house and grabbed a garden hose and put out the fire. My friend who was visiting said my face went completely white (white with fright, as the saying goes). When the firefighters arrived they discovered a second fire at the opposite side of the house. They quickly extinguished it. Two things I learned from the event: 1.Act quickly because small fires are easier to extinguish but they become BIG fires quickly and 2. Never assume everything is okay until after you've made a thorough inspection.
Wow! An incredible account of a real life event! Unreal! I didn't grab an axe, but I told my wife to call 911 and get the kids out. Ran into the garage grabbed a ladder, climbed onto the lower part of the roof above the patio and blasted the fire with a garden hose. The rest of the roof was too steep to get any closer. The fire went out briefly then smoke came out from the eves and dropped me. I soaked my shirt with the hose and covered my face a waited (seemed like forever) for a gust of wind to clear my path back to the ladder. Once it did I looked back up to the roof and saw 10+ft flames...insanity...the rest is history! Thank for sharing! All the best to you!!
@@RobertLHargraveIII I think your situation was a lot more traumatic. Even though your home burned more than a year ago, looking back and reflecting . . . do you detect any depression several months afterward? I ask because, even though I'm a fairly upbeat person, I recently thought about the last day when I closed my business after 21 years, the equipment was gone, office furniture gone, the lights were out and I stood there reflecting. I remember that I felt strange but didn't realize that I was depressed too. But losing a home with your very personal possessions stresses and tests a person more than we'd ever wish. I've seen news and video reports of people who has suffered great losses in floods, storms, fires and have heard them say, "Those were only things. My family is safe."
I hope building & establishing a new home fills you all with energy and excitement. Hope you have a very good year.
@nemo227 We found ourselves in that same situation just things, etc, but there has been a bit of depression, anxiety, and other nonsense that has come about in the months/year after the fire. I am an extremely positive person as well and actually had comments from people saying, "don't take this the wrong way, but something like this could have happened to a better person...you guys have become really good at taking punches." My reaction was, "man maybe, but I'm really tired of getting punched!!" I didn't suffer any real depression from the fire, but did develop slightly high blood pressure due to anxiety and stress. Being a really active person (running, cycling, etc) and having a healthy diet...it has taken more than a year to get my blood pressure to finally stabilize. Our 5 year old son still has outbursts of anger and does play therapy to help him cope; he gets better daily. I really appreciate the comments and well wishes! I hope the same for you! Take Care!
Breaks my heart, would never wish this on anyone. Best wishes to both of ya.
Rylee Noseworthy thanks so much for the condolences, well wishes and for subscribing!!! Ive gotten sooo behind on the vlog!!...I'm working on an update video please stay tuned! Thanks again! All the Best!!
Smash that old house down, it was a load of burned old shite!
This video was five years ago (as of 2023) and your later content never mentioned your decision... After the demolition, did you have a new house rebuilt and moved back there? Or did you let it go (in other words, you sold the property) and moved on? I am assuming there is a new house in that spot today, regardless if you are living there or not.
If you get drunk, how do you find your house in that neighborhood?
@mattywho haha!!!

All the best to you, having gone through this terrible experience in 2011 I can feel for you. We had infloor heat and our excavator guys worked diligently to preserve the slab for us, it is incredible what they can do!
That house looked beautiful
Thank you. We loved that home and are/were super sad to have to move and have it torn down. We just bought another house and will be moving in this Friday! Woo hoo! Thanks for the comment!!
@Trinexx007 we salvaged what we could, but unfortunately everything left behind was covered in black mold, burned or had smoke damage.
Did the house catch on fire?
@@blumpkinsjr Yep
@@이블좀비 Dude we moved to DFW just south of Grapevine Lake! Texas is the best! Cheers!
So sorry for the loss of your house. My parents and I moved house 12 years ago. While we're happy where we live now (though my dad's dead now), it saddens me a bit knowing our old estate is slowly being demolished and they'll eventually knock our old house down. True, it's all looking rather grotty now as it was built way back in the late 60s. And despite all the murders, muggings, druggies, drunks, vandalism and people mouthing off that went on there, it was still the place where I grew up.
Yeah man it's tough seeing neighborhoods degrade over time and always tough to leave a place you grew up behind. A home is a home! All the best to you!
Its sad to see but this new construction of “lighter”material takes a family and their livelihood and burns it 5times faster. I used to work in the public service field and over the years it has been astonishing how fast these houses burn now. I am glad ya’ll are safe!
kither04 yeah it was crazy how fast our home burned down. It turns out that the fire was accelerated even more because of a gas line that was punctured when our roof was replaced a few years ago. Thank you for the well wishes!!! Best!!
my old house was made outa rocks and concrete when we had a fire just the roof and inside furnishings burnt we were able to rebuild the damaged parts. you can still see the black marks on the walls
i also have some video of the fire i might upload it soon
sorry to see your loss thankfully i see everybody is ok and that is really what matters , best of luck on the rebuild
carl snow many thanks and you are 1000% right!!!! We are still fighting with our insurance company on some slab nonsense and the idea of a rebuild is gone :(. We ended up relocating to DFW and are finally getting settled! I think the kids have at least pseudo forgotten about the whole ordeal (been a least 2 months since the last time i was asked by one of the kids if our new was going to burn down too). Thanks for the comment!! Hope all is going great for you! All the best bro!!
I’m surprised they couldn’t salvage this house. I’ve worse get restored. I’m sorry for the loss and pray for your recovery.
As a paving contractor We demo roughly 10-12 house a year as fill in work, it’s crazy how much easier it it to take down a newer home than it is a 80 year old house, I’ll peal apart an 80+ year old home and the wood still looks brand new. These new homes come down like butter. That160 Deere is a perfect machine this job. Looks like it was a very nice home.
Yeah man it turned bricks into dust like it was nothing! Insane! It was the first time I had witnessed anything like this....hopefully the last, haha! Thanks for the comment! Best!
Never the less, why are these mini mansions built so close together? Land might just be with more money than the house itself.
I'm sure they pack these houses in on smaller lots to make for money with more home sales. Unfortunately the house + land is worth almost 4.5 times the value of the land alone. I wish that wasn't the case, but that just the way it is. Thank you for the comment!
Developers greed. Mo money.
jacfred ours are built like 2 meters apart from each other
@@ignorthepain idiot. fucking idiot comment.
Joe is correct.
I just saw this what happend to the house in the first place?
We have a house fire in May of 2017 ruclips.net/video/97g01qa-6BU/видео.html Here is a link to that video. All the best!!
I am so sorry this happened to your House. I hope everything is going well now. Glad you guys made it out of the House alright.
Hey @GhostlyPlayz94! Everything is going great (other than this whole Corona virus thing!!). Thank you for the condolences!! How you are doing great as well! All the best!!
@@RobertLHargraveIII Yeah this Coronavirus is crazy. Other than that everything is going well here.
I hope your family has recovered. I lost my home and everything except my family five years ago. Sometimes God tells you "You've got too much stuff!" Good luck
Thanks Dan! We are getting there. I got the message, but unfortunately my wife heard something else!! Haha. All the best bro!
sorry to see you had a fire , but to the good , this is great to educate people what happens after a fire.great Drone shots!
Thank you for the condolences and kudos! I have plans for a video that outlines exactly what needs to be done after a disaster like this occurs. All the best! Cheers!
3:10 R.I.P Guitar on wall :(
Golden Gameboy yeah :( , yeah :( totally...completely water damaged out. We lost 4 guitars and have only replaced one. I havent played since the fire. Double :( I'll buy another soon, very soon!! Cheers!
Well it has been 4 years now. How are things going? How did that fire start? I remember losing mine in 1998. It's devastating and a lengthy process to go through.
We are making it, Lol. We're enjoying life down in Texas...starting over is tough when you have kids. I try to turn any tragedy into an adventure and my boys are doing the same (be thankful for peaceful times and embrace the bad times and try to learn something to help others)! Thanks for asking!! Sorry to hear about your loss, it sucks and yeah the process is crazy long. Hope all is well! Best to you! Cheers
I know the pain and sadness of losing a home to fire. Lost one in the 1980's.
Sorry to hear that my friend! I totally empathize; sucks as you know. I hope all is well! Best!!
Lost mine as a child in 1999 due to fire. Only thing that didn't burn were photo albums. Mom and dad rebuilt it themselves with the labor help of some neighbors. Went thru Harvey and lost home again...waited for approval from a grant program. Just got approved last week for reconstruction. Demolition starts in 2 weeks. Dad passed away while waiting on this approval in July 2019 due to existing health problems. Bittersweet. So much memories on this property.
@@taimaishu9589 I'm so sorry to hear that bless you and your family I had two house fires as a child although we didnt have to have our house torn down it traumatized me seeing the burnt out kitchen and having to redecorate and having put in everything in brand new. My mum was devastated
Why was this house torn down? If someone could tell me please.
We had a house fire in May 2017 here is a link to that video. ruclips.net/video/97g01qa-6BU/видео.html All the best!
With every dark days end comes a bright new tomorrow.
You are 1000% correct @Kenny Campbell we are thankful to have those dark days behind us!! All the best!!
Was the inside gutted as far as the wiring or can that go in c and d trash containers. Thanks in advance
The only portion of the demolition what was separated was the copper tubing. The rest went into C&D trash. All the best!
So I'm just asking...no judgement or disrespect...that was obviously a serious fire...but why was it demolished? It seems like it could've been repaired
Right after the fire it rained for weeks and our insurance company would not let us inside to remove any items because they had to do an investigation to determine the cause of the fire. During those weeks everything in the house was contaminated by black mold. We pulled out anything that we could salvage and the rest was demolished. We tried to get builders to rebuild the house, but no one would use the existing slab. We finally were able to sell the slab at the end of 2020. Best!
Was your house burnt
Yeah @Caleb Drake. It was struck by lightning in May 2017!! ruclips.net/video/97g01qa-6BU/видео.html. Here's a link to the video. Hope you are doing awesome!! All the best!!
Oh!

@@RobertLHargraveIII Same to you and God bless.
How long was the time the house sat there before it got demolished? Because this one house in my neighborhood burned down and sat there for like 4 years before they finally demolished it
Yeah @ITZ_ICY_GAMING
the house burned down in May of 2017 and it was finally demolished mid December 2017! Pretty crazy for sure...We moved to Texas right after the fire so we kinda just moved on. I can't imagine having to see that everyday (burned up house or slab) We actually just finally sold the slab yesterday!! Hooray! That lot/slab has been sitting there vacant for over 3 years! All the best!
The house was totally not built of brick, the bricks was cosmetic. They don’t build houses like they use to, I’ll buy an older house. Today you have these developers that put houses up like toys.
My old man always told me never to fall in love with a house a job or a car. Because you could lose all three in the same day I fully understand what he meant now. I'm glad I live my life like I just don't give a damn
Accel Well that is absolutely one way to do it. I live, love, and fight hard...and live with the confident expectation of good with my hopes held high. Sometimes bad things happen for no known reason. I try not to be discouraged and keep on living! Thanks for the comment. Cheers!
You forgot to add the broad. When my ex Kotex bailed on me I lost the Kotex “broad”, house, car dog and my job because I beat her ass and went to jail! Lol.
So very sorry you had to tear down your memories, but only to rebuild to more beautiful ones!
I'm so sorry to lose your home i hope you can rebuild such beautiful home
Thank you Lisa! We actually ended up not rebuilding and we moved 4.5 hours South to the Dallas area. We may have not rebuilt, but we found an amazing home down here! All the best!
@@RobertLHargraveIII thats lovely to hear im so pleased you found a new home
the aftermath is simply heartbreaking. That is completely shitty.
Thanks man! We made it out of the tragedy with nothing but material items lost...and have started anew! I really do appreciate the kindness and condolences! Cheers!
So they didn’t take out anything?
Why did you demolish your house instead of repair it? Didn’t you have house insurance?
Yes, thankfully we had home insurance!! They deemed it a total loss and everything that was left was either covered in black mold, burned or suffered from water damage when they put the fire out :(
So Heartbreaking! I hope you were able to rebuild and start new memories. It look
like a great home.
Jason, yeah man we loved that home. I appreciate the condolences!! We didn't get the chance to rebuild the home, but nothing can stop rebuilding a life!!! Cheers my friend and all the best!
I am so sorry for that loss, it was a beautiful house.😢😞😔 (-what song is played at the drone footage parts?)
Viliam Jakubek thank you for the condolences!!! Yeah we loved that home! Both songs are by Andrew Applepie first song is "the betrayal" second is "drowning world feat. Bjurman" i found them on sound cloud. Thanks for watching! All the best!!
Robert L. Hargrave III -Yes and to you to man! I don’t know what I would have done if I where in your place! Stay safe and wish you luck.
Viliam Jakubek you too bro!! Take care!
Is u going to make a video on the rebuild for the new house
I was going to make one, but we ended up moving to DFW. I'm currently working on an update video to bring my RUclips family up to date! Stay tuned my friend. All the best to you!
Ok and thank you
Ridiculous that they didn't salvage the windows, bricks or anything else - such a wasteful society.
What happened for this house to get demolished. The houses next door look fine.
My house was struck by lightning in May ruclips.net/video/97g01qa-6BU/видео.html
So i have a question for you, i recently had a house fire myself and going through the same thing with my insurance company, they want to save the foundation of the house because there was no fire exposure to the basement, i have a 2200 square foot brick ranch and its 61 years old....can't figure out how they will save the foundation after demolition of everything else.....i mean isn't it more cost effective to just get rid of it all and start from scratch....every contractor i speak with will no warranty a build using my old foundation
@Jeremy Mrozek our insurance company said in order to get paid for the slab we had to do a careful tear down...cost $16k (which they paid for) the slab was valued at around $25k that they would have paid if deemed un-buildable. We had expert engineers do a $1k report that ended up showing the slab was "fine." But like your situation no one will guarantee to build on it. We had a 3rd party adjuster that helped out tons Brown O'haver. They were the best and deal with situations like ours all to regularly. You might look into them! Unfortunately our outcome left us with a slab that still has to be demoed at +/- $2500 and it is what it is. Hope this helps. Pardon the lateness of this reply! All the best!
@@RobertLHargraveIII Robert..my situation was resolved between me and the insurance company, they now agreed that they will replace the complete house, including foundation and basement slab (which is what we wanted) The turning point was code requirements that would need to be done to reuse the existing foundation. All foundation walls would need reinforced with rebar and cement, exterior water issues and insulation would also be required.....this is also part of trying to save the foundation during demolition which you know and I know is very hard to do if not impossible on a brick home.....but currently we are on to the next step of demolition and then to start the rebuild of a new home.....
Oh no. Hope everything’s going well
Thank you for the well wishes! Everything is going great! Thank you for checking in! Hope all is well with you too!!!
Sorry that you have to go through this and deal with the aftermath of a fire. Rebuilding sucks, but now you can rebuild back stronger. 💪
We ended up selling the house/lot the new house that was built looks great!! All the best!
What happend to your house?
It was struck by lightning 8 months prior to the demolition. Due to the lightning storm the fire dept couldn't use cranes to put the fire out. Stuff happens, ya just regroup and dominate!!! :)
@@RobertLHargraveIII So it took the insurance company 8 months to decide that it could be demolished? Some insurance policies don't give you payments for being displaced that long plus a year for reconstruction.
Why did the salvage what could be reused? What waste of good materials.
Did it burn down?
Toronto Transit Fan yes i actually vlogged it...check it out
ruclips.net/video/97g01qa-6BU/видео.html
Robert L. Hargrave III oh ok
Why did you allow them :C
It was unavoidable. :( fire damage and black mold everywhere. It was was the worst man!!
Sometimes the city or state government condemns houses - fire damage or just too much normal falling apart
- and orders people living in them to move out. Unless someone (owner or buyer) is willing or able to repair a condemned house it is "put on demolition row" as I like to call it.
Where I live, the majority of homes that have had a bad fire are eventually torn down. Sad really. As a firefighter, I've often said we should just let the place burn to the ground, and protect everything around it.
TFSFireman i agree. For the home owner the outcome is the same unfortunately. Sad, but true. Thank you for watching and the comment! All the best!!
@@RobertLHargraveIII how did the fire start just curious

@@Catchwitt05 i recently recorded an update and will post hopefully this weekend. And have recorded tons of other content without uploading, no real excuses. Stay tuned!
I’m just a kid, but I was wondering if you some how get your money back to get a house and by all your furniture that has gotten damaged?
Toronto Transit Fan it depends if you have really good home owners insurance or not. We had pretty good insurance so we were paid by our insurance company for the maximum policy limits for our "stuff" and if we dont replace everything then we can save the money we have left over, but we faced two unfortunate realities 1) we had more stuff than insurance would cover and 2) we lost baby pictures, et that predated the digital age that were not backed up that is nor replacable. We are extremely thankful that no one was hurt or injured in the fire. Ill do an official summary and update on that soon. Thanks for the question i hope my response was helpful. If you have more questions let me know. All the best!!!
was there furniture in this house when it was demolished?
Yeah man. All kinds of furniture, etc. Rain, smoke, and black mold destroyed everything!!!
well that’s a shame
so your going to rebuild the house then sell the rebuilt house then move houses?
graywholfe wolfe that was the plan. I was going to try to make the most out of this tragedy. Unfortunately the plans changed. Our insurance company stoped paying for our rental in January...so rather than waste money on a rental we wenta ahead with a purchase in the DFW area. We are still fighting with them to remove the slab. This has been quite along process, but hopefully we can end this chapter soon. All the best!
ohh well I hope you can remove the slab and end the whole house fire progres

The house just had a brick facade...if it was built of solid brick the house might have been salvageable, but this wasn't the case. There was too much black mold and smoke damage to save the house. I appreciate the comment. Cheers!

You could build a new house on the existing foundations ?
@lewisner man I wish we could have...we tried to get a builder out there. We also had a structural engineer come out and he showed that there was some heat damage to the slab, but our insurance company said otherwise. There is also likely damaged plumbing beneath the foundation that no plumber will insure. We actually and finally have a contract on it to sell!! Only took 3 years!! Haha. All the best!

Wow! So crazy am I right @Chris Worster!?!
Robert L. Hargrave III yep an update on it is they tore it down including the slab, and I think the dude bought another property
Sorry, you lost your house but you should have sold off a lot of the stuff in the house or at least donated it to Habitat for Humanity. We had a house raised and we were able to sell the windows, doors, garage doors, etc.
Yeah I had thought about it, but didn’t have the bandwidth to take that on at the time living in TX and coordinating that type of effort would have been too much to take on. My family and I donate tons of time $$ etc to nonprofits and my wife actually started one inspired by our tragedy to help children that are displaced when they lose their homes. Next time for sure (I hope there isn’t a next time though!) I appreciate the condolences and suggestion! Cheers!
im so glad you all walked away from the fire belongings and items like funiture and clothing can be replaced photos cant be replaced.
Yeah Lisa we were fortunate that the firefighters were able to save some photos, but we ended up losing 3 8TB hard drives that had tons of video from our first son and my baby album was totally wiped out from the water and acid from the fire. I just keep telling the kids we will make better new memories! I really do believe that! Take care, more soon!
Wait why did they do that?
@Why??? 2 house fire. It was a total loss! 😔 All the best to you! Cheers!!
So wait, ur house had a fire and is structurally unsound?
egs1505 yes. It's was quite the ordeal actually. Right after the fire our insurance company locked the house down so they could do an investigation on some potential faulty gas piping this caused the property to be left open for 30+ days of almost 100% solid rain. At the end of that the black mold, burned up and smoke infested house had to be torn down. We are still waiting to hear back from State Farm regarding the plumbing that was damaged during the tear down. We will likely have to end up removing the entire slab. Thank you for the comment!!
I'm sorry for your loss I hope you guys can rebuild vary soon god bless your family
Christopher Adams hey Christopher thank you so much for the condolences and I appreciate the blessing and well wishes. Our insurance company has delayed any possiblity of a rebuild. During this tragedy we took the opportunity to move from Tulsa, Ok to Dallas, TX. My business partner and our company headquarters is based in DFW so it seemed like a logical choice. Especially since we didn't have a bunch of stuff to move. We moved into our new home in TX on good Friday 2018 and are finally settling in! Thanks again bro! All the best!!!
No problem man I know how its is to lose everything you worked hard for I'm glad to know you guys are settling in your new home hope you guys make many new memories at your new home again god bless you and your family 😀
A pretty horrible ordeal, but we are making the best of it! We are making memories and I've be recording a bunch of it! Thanks again for the blessings and well wishes!! Best!
Look at how those walls came down so fast!!! Modern houses are so cheap and weak! Old houses have way better style and they are made with quality. Something that modern houses lack 100%
My house wad on fire three months ago i miss is 😢
Oh man @Angelic Cook!!! So sorry to hear that. Hope you are doing ok! It's tough so tough, but time helps. All the best to you!
The video skipped and cut so much from above to ground level I almost got sick
constructive criticism! Thanks Liam!
WHY DOES NORTH AMERICA NEVER RE-USE WINDOWS AND DOORS?
In this instance of a structure fire all of the windows and doors Are compromised and unusable. Sometimes insurance also mandates everything going to the landfill. I've worked projects where we do salvage doors and windows but it's usually pretty rare, most of the time it's cheaper to use new.
@KennyBlankenship you are right on!!! Best to you and @Roberto Odonnell!
Houses are too close together. Neighbors are lucky to still have their houses. Oh, and you forgot your guitar.
Yeah houses in our old neighborhood were way too close!! We bought a new house on 1.9 acre!!! Way more space!! That guitar was trashed/crazy warpes by all of the chemicals and water the fire dept dumped on it. RIP guitar!!! Haha. Thanks for the view and comment! Cheers!
And I now see why insurance companies give better rates on brick houses. The outer walls didn’t burn and contain the fire better from spreading to the neighboring houses.
It’s crazy what the value of a house is once it’s place in a dumpster. Cha-Ching thanks insurance company.
@Stephen Scharback We were very fortunate that we bought the house "right" as a foreclosure so the payment for the house was on point, but the bad news was that we went over the policy limits for the contents portion...way over!! It's crazy how much stuff you can accumulate over close to a decade...especially when you've got a gazillion kids and like nice electronics..haha! All the Best!
Who else is watching this because their neighbours house and the one next to it got burned and demolished?
Even the brick wasn’t salvagable?
Man Ryan it was hard to tell. There was a ton of heat stress cause on the fire that actually made the slab structurally unsound to build on...no telling what or if the bricks were damaged as well. Cheers!
Still so positive! Love it!! Plz do an update
katie hinz absolutely! I'm on it!! All the best!
This thing is unwatchable. You are all over the place. Some one should have taken care of that home. What a beautiful home that most people will never have a chance to own. Now it's a disaster
You ought to read their reply to others, too much damage to rebuild, easier and cheaper to tear down than gut, remediation and rebuild/remodel.
Out here in Texas and Oklahoma it’s crazy how when a house catches fire they demolish it without fixing it. Back in NY where I used to live when a house caught fire they would spend almost a year fixing it up so it looks Brand new. I guess the demolish the houses to save money.
Logan06 when our house burned down there was too much water, smoke and fire damage. We were hoping to be able to repair the house, but with that much damage our home owners insurance company said we had to demolish it. Like you said cheaper to rebuild than repair. We hope to sell the lot soon to let someone else build their perfect home!
Robert L. Hargrave III that sounds like a good plan. When you guys sell the lot do you get the money for it?
Logan06 yes sir! We will prob sa bly just put the extra funds in the bank or invest it. Something super lame like that haha!
It depends on how badly damaged the house is if it's worth repairing sometimes the structural side of things and the interior etc isnt safe to live in
Demolition day on chalk thats stupid.
I used a piece of brick, but duly noted. No more writing on the ground. Best!
THAT THING CAUGHT FIRE?
yeah @ iSimplyHyperWolf I have a video "The Roof, the roof the roof is on fire" that documents the whole thing. According to insurance it was a total loss.
Is this your real house
Yes @Ahria Pony it was our home from 2009 to May 2017. Then it was struck by lightning and finally torn down at the end of 2017.
Were you able to salvage any personal items? That looked like a lot of stuff going down with the house
williefisterbottom S we were able to save anything that wasnt destroyed by smoke, water and acid (from the firemen) or black mold. We tried to salvage any we could! Which unfortunately was not a lot.
Tatay Cameron Sheriff Lababit House demolition
Not sure what this means, but thanks for the comment!! All the best!
Do an update
Don’t worry, your not alone my birth hone was demolished by pesky neighbors.
Oh man, that's horrible!!! Worst neighbors ever!!
If you're a member of a HOA are they charging you $1000.00 a day because your house isn't up to their standards?
Haha!! Not yet! We did get a letter in the mail telling us we needed 2 trees in the front yard, ha... HOAs are such a pain. The house we bought in DFW has no HOA which is extremely rare for the area....a dream come true!
Why did your house have to get demolished.
We had a house fire in May of 2017. I actually have a video of that as well check it out! All the best!

I understand what u have gone thru. I have have gone thru the same thing in November of 2014.
Dang Michael, that SUCKS!! I hope you have recovered from the stress your tragedy might have caused you and were able to move past it. It was tough for my kids. 3 years later they all come running into the our bedroom if they hear thunder at night. Time helps a little...we can just take it one day at a time. Best!
