Tearing down houses and small buildings is my favorite 💪
Yeah I like it too when I’ve got the proper machine to do the job. Unfortunately this job was about 4 miles of paved road and we had to track the machine in so we were kind of stuck with what we had. Thanks for watching Wendell 👍🏻
One cell site I was PM on removing, our climbers wouldn't climb the tower because it was too overloaded. We made a deal with the tower owner where we would give him the shelter if we could leave the coax and antennas on the tower and were released from liability if anything happened. Saved us a lot of hassle, as the site was on the side of a mountain and had terrible access.
I have mentioned the same thing on several of these dcom jobs. I always get told the same thing the tower owner doesn’t care about the shelter they just want it off of there leased area. You would think it would be more desirable for a new carrier to come in and lease a fully built site but they keep having us tear them down!
Thanks for watching George👍🏻
That building was solid, don't knock it down, keep it as a bomb shelter! Take care guys
If I could’ve got it off the top of that mountain in one piece I definitely would have. If you would have seen the trail I had to take it down and then the steel covered bridge at the bottom. Wasn’t possible! LOL
Thanks for watching Allen 👍🏻
@@fulltiltgrading8366 No problem, good to see a new video.
Knock knock .... Who is it ?? It's the big bad cat excavator.....😹😹😹😹
That’s right! Lol 😎
Thanks for watching Tom 👍🏻
My dad would say, “She’s built like a brick outhouse!” Most of the time he was talking about a babe who caught his eye… but I’m sure he wouldn’t mind if I used it just this once to describe that building!
The state ought to hire the concrete contractor to build highways. Then, they wouldn’t be out there ever other year cutting holes and filling them up! My goodness that was overkill to a ridiculous level.
Good thing you had Ray, or your head would be mush by the time you finished hammering that out.
Sometimes you look at a job and just have to say, “Good grief!!!”
Yeah there was definitely no good reason to have a foundation that extreme under that building. I have seen for concrete buildings on 12 inch slabs. This building there’s nothing more than fiberglass and metal studs. I had a tour apart in about three hours then spent three days hammering concrete 🙄
Glad to see you back Dave! Thanks for watching👍🏻
This must be why are cell phone services cost so much...build something and then tear it down....LOL
The older cell sites have become so obsolete that the carriers figure it cost them less money to build an entire new job then it does to take the tower off service for three months to build a new one. We actually built the new site on a tower 200 feet away from this one over the summer. There was no downtime or loss of service to the customers I agree looks like a huge waste but I guess it’s the corporate way of thinking! LOL
Thanks for watching Kid 👍🏻
@@fulltiltgrading8366 Okay..didn't know it was not in use anymore. Thanks.
Hey Ed
How are you?
Great job guys
Wow!! That slab was built to last forever!!
I ran into a crazy thick slab last year also reinforced but was only 30 inches not 48
Took 2 days to bust out when it should have been half a day🤷♂️
Not my idea of fun
I feel your pain guys
Yeah James when you get into something like that and realize how thick it is you do nothing but worry that you’re going to break down! I was pretty stressed out when I realized what I was up against! Hope you guys are doing OK up there in the north. The trees down here are producing a lot of nuts so I guess that means a hard winter! Seems like you just got done plowing snow not too long ago! LOL
Thanks for watching buddy. Great hearing from you👍🏻
That was brutal, wonder how many years of life that job took out of the 304? Good advice about the thickness of concrete clause in the contract.
I got rid of that machine soon after that job! I didn’t like it anyway. I like my old 304 much better. I really blew it on that job! Lol.
Where at in Wilkes-barre??? Off Laurel Run Road? Though there every morn.. Where all the towers are on Penobscot Mt>
The job we were going to Next was of Sans Souci parkway behind Blacie printing Co. Just finished yesterday. We are now on a site on Warrior Run. Why up high on the ridge overlooking 81.
Thanks for watching Jeff👍🏻
where's the dynamite when you need it. =)
I don’t think the hunters would’ve really cared for that! Although They probably would’ve rather that than the three days of constant hammering! Lol 😂
Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Old, well cured concrete Ed.....
We call it bell metal!!
304 may have been the wrong size, but you got it pulled apart!!! 💪💪💪
How many fillings did you both shake out ???? 🤔😬
I have to admit Alex I was a little worried and I told Ray that we had to make this machine last through this job! I called everywhere to try and get another larger machine and had no luck. My worst fear was this thing breaking down in such a remote area. I was impressed that this machine got it done and stayed together!
Thanks for watching Alex👍🏻
Gotta keep your door closed.....ya never know what you're breathing in
Yeah your right. Unfortunately I never think of it in the moment.
Next time 😂
@@fulltiltgrading8366 just trying to protect you ya know 😁😁
I sure did like the wrecking part their Ed.... until I seen you guys hit the concrete that did not look like fun other than that guy's awesome job..👍👍😎🍻🍻 you guys probably need a drink after that lol
Yeah the building came down no problem. When I got into hammering the footing I was a little concerned! I called every place I can think of trying to get a bigger machine with hammer and no one could get me one. At that point I had to just suck it up and get it done with what I had.
Appreciate you watching Brad 👍🏻
I guess that quote fell a little short I always give a price but put a clause in if rock appears it reverts to a day rate to be save you never know what's down there Ed
Yeah we blew it on this one but I figure you have to take the good with the bad. The people we were doing this job for have no clue what they’re looking at it and it would take longer to explain to them why they should pay more and then it took to do the job! LOL
Thanks for watching Mick 👍🏻
Dear blind??? I'll make that a Playa Pad
It would be a sweet pad for sure! 😂. Hope your doing well Cowboy! Thanks for watching bud 👍🏻
Do you have issues hooking up your hydraulic attachment/lines on the Cat? I have a tilt bucket for my 35D and typically have to break a hydraulic line loose and loosen the relieve screws at the “quick”disconnects. I would like to get other hydraulic attachments but the “quick” disconnect couplers aren’t so quick.
I have a video on “how to hook up a hammer on cat mini excavator “ watch it and try that method. I think it might help.
Thanks for watching Ben👍🏻
You needed a bigger machine/hammer ! Just how long did that take?
You are absolutely 100% right and I tried everybody I could think of to get a larger machine and hammer. I got the same answer everywhere. We are extremely busy and have no more machines to rent! We hammered on this concrete for three full days about 10 to 12 hours a day.
Thanks for watching👍🏻
Do you have to have any certain types of contractor licenses or degrees In order to get jobs like with around the cell phone towers
13 years ago I got hooked up with a company that has been doing cellular work since the beginning. I have been doing excavation work since I got out of high school in 88 so you just meet a lot of people along the way.
Thanks for watching
Damn breaking that concrete looked rough! How do you like that 304? As far as power and everything else?
I think the 304 is the best all-around machine for the type of work I do but I have to say my older E model is much more reliable than the new E2 model. We have a brand new next GEN 303 on the way to replace the E2 model.
@@fulltiltgrading8366 Thank you for replying back. Keep up the videos and the hard work
You can never have too much concrete under your buildings. Over the life of that building it probably never moved from frost or hurricanes.
I agree with having a good foundation but this was just lazy formwork! Instead of forming the pad properly they just filled the entire thing with concrete. I estimate there was 35 to 40 yards of concrete which is a little overkill! Lol
Thanks for watching Luke we appreciate it 👍🏻
but but there was maybe a whopping $50 of romex in that thing, the ac and heating worth millions in scrap. /sarcasm wouldve made a nice office space etc but cost vs feasibility outweighted that option
Yeah I would love to have that thing at my shop but it would cost me about 25k and no guarantee but it would make it to my shop without having a bunch of leaks from moving it down the mountain. Can’t save them all I guess! Lol
Thanks for watching Harvey👍🏻
Why did the concrete have to come out?
The carriers lease the area from the tower owner so when they move they must remove everything they had in that lease area. It would make more sense to me for the tower company to just lease out the existing site 🤷🏻♂️ but what do I know! LOL
Thanks for watching Jamie👍🏻
Bet you wish you had the 308 with a pecker on it for this one.
Yes I did. I called everywhere to try and rent one and nobody had one available. The foundation was supposed to be 6”walls and 6” floor. Never saw this coming! 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks for watching Bob 👍🏻
