    Not sure when this house was built, but it was old. It was also, I think, the last old house remaining in that area. I'm not sure what they're going to do with this land. They've got a lot of it right there. At this time, it's still just a big, empty lot. For those curious, this house was demolished with a Caterpillar 323 excavator.

      When you clean up the lot. Do you take out the fountain as well and what will happen with the stone? You could build a stone wall with them along the front of your house. I’m from New England. That’s what we do.. 👍👍

    In my first half of my working career I was a carpenter building houses from the ground up. But I sure enjoy watching them get demolished! I think I was in the wrong end of the housing career!

    I enjoyed seeing a walkthrough of the structure, particularly the closet with the original plaster wall and baseboard. The whole house had been so badly remodeled over the years, it was nice to see a small original feature. I think we'd like to see you loading the debris into a truck, as well as the finished site. Great work here.

    Friendly suggestion about dust control, why not try a nozzle like the firefighters have that can do either a straight jet, or a more conical pattern, the conical pattern will really help capture the dust and keep it down. Long time fan here, I'm sure you remember me. Also, I would love to see you share videos of the foundation removal process. Just some ideas to make things easier and maybe help you get some more subscribers and viewers! This is by far the best demolition channel I have ever seen on CZcams, and I've been watching since the early days of CZcams. Thanks so much as always for taking the time to explain things, create the video and share your knowledge and experience with us! Dan, from South Surrey BC.

    It looks like a Sears and Robuck home that has been remodeled way too many times. The interior would have had a lot of oak trim and a very large room on one side of the first floor. There even might have been a couple of pillars dividing that room. These kit homes were very popular after WW1 up to WW2. I might be wrong. I also have an apprentice textbook that belonged to my grandfather in 1914?? that showed house plans like this.

    An old house like this, likely 100 plus years old, is going to have a lot of old growth wood lumber used for construction originally which is valuable and desirable. Never any thought to trying to salvage any of that first?

    There is a little town in Massachusetts called North Dighton. It was a 'factory town'. The owner of the factory owned all of the houses, and they were all Sears and Robuck kit homes. The grander homes were toward the front of the factory and were reserved for more valued employees. As you moved to the back of the town there were duplexes. Way in the back was the owners Mansion, I never went down that driveway, it was not welcoming, even the owner was long gone. This was a grand home, back stairs for servants.
