    I’m laughed several times at this video but I guess the world is full of people that need to be reminded not to just walk off the end of the roof or let the roof collapse on top of them. And yes demo is fun! But the thing I liked best about the video is there was no finessing it. Just cut it up into the biggest pieces you can manage safely. No little hammer and pry bar like most of the demo videos on YT. You sir know how to get the job done.

    • @myfixituplife
      @myfixituplife  Год назад

      Yeah, buddy (Love your screen name by the way). You've got some hard work ahead of you. - My rules for structural demo include: Take it apart in the reverse order it was put together, cut as many connections (nails) as you can with reciprocating saw (get lots of demo blades), chainsaws and sledgehammers have their places, but I use both rarely, if it look like it might fall down or get away from you have an exit path and plan. - Good luck. Love to see what you're up against.

I'm not too sure walking around the roof of a shed with a saw would be a good idea for me.. but maybe hiring somebody would be. I just hope they're half as good as this guy.. he made a big job look easy.. not to mention the right tool for the right job could run into some money.

I'm gonna go ask him if he needs some help with that, if he's not crazy I'll give you the signal and then you bring us out a couple of those Mike's from the fridge would ya please?"

      Cost depends on a number of functions.

    I know you were worried about small yard, neighbors fence, but once that roof down why are you still cutting. That little thing and a sledge is all you need unless you have a tiny dumpster or you like playing with tools. That whole thing with two guys should take 2 to 3 hours with filling up trailer or dumpster.

      Good question. There are a lot of variables. And, this was part of a larger project. - What I can tell you is what the inputs were: I own a dump truck that took all this to the dump. The dump charges $120/ton and I need to mark that up. Then there's the labor for taking it down and not killing yourself. And then there is selling a service customers can afford. - I think the line item on this one was somewhere around $1,750.

      Maybe you guys should volunteer to go around carefully deconstructing peoples' sheds, etc. and storing the unique and specific sized pieces for them in case they need a scrap piece of 2x4 or something.
      There are people who either don't want to or have the ability/tools necessary to demo an outbuilding themselves so they hire it out, most likely to a contractor who is going to be building them a new or bigger one. Its always obvious from comments like these that come from people who don't realize what it would take to "salvage" all the cheap lumber from an old shed, therefore don't realize how unprofitable it would be to be paying said contractor to waste time doing it. A decent door or windows....sure, but not 2x4's and $10/sheet OSB,etc.
