  • Its almost time to demo my house in Upstate NY! Before we do, Mack and I went up and took out all of the existing windows and some of the electrical cable. It was a productive day, and now the house is on the schedule for knock down! Stay tuned for that!

    The fridge clip!! 😂 so good!!!

    I see you had a special guest star helping! Crazy how the section of the foundation just caved in. Another step forward on the demolition completed! Shame how much $ was wasted on the house.

    Wowers that's definitely interesting. Glad to see a update on this project Chris. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep making. God bless.

    That's sad. The brother's must have gone broke. But a great opportunity to get some awesome materials.

    Couldn’t believe the foundation! Glad you got everything you did though👍

    You should salvage some of those long wood beams.

    • @MakeEverything
      @MakeEverything  Před 2 lety +1

      We actually started demolition yesterday and tried to save some material, but most of it couldn't get out of the building in one piece, we did save som really long 2x8s

    Nice video. Can't wait to see it flattened. Mahalo for sharing! : )

    My suggestion would be to build an arts and crafts style house on that property, It would really show off your talents.

    Whatever you build, look at ICF. Super insulated structure is so nice.

  • @EngineerMikeF
    @EngineerMikeF Před 2 lety +1

    That foundation failure was epic, never seen one like that. Seen plenty of water in crawl space issues but never a stemwall that rolled over.

  • @jwp_cards
    @jwp_cards Před 2 lety +10

    Glass is problematic yet all of the nails and screws that will come out of the house is not.....

    • @MakeEverything
      @MakeEverything  Před 2 lety +1

      I guess hes thinking he could at least run a magnet over the grounds for nails, but that glass will never get cleaned up. I tend to agree, ill sweep it a few times with the big magnetic sweeper before I drive my truck up there

    I would love to buy those 2 bay windows

  • @DonnaMSchmid
    @DonnaMSchmid Před 2 lety +4

    Couldn't you salvage some of those sheets of drywall? It's hard to tell on the video, but they looked to be in decent shape -- even if just to be used for sheds, garages, your workshops, etc.

  • @protect.your.digits.creations

    When you were in the crawlspace I thought I saw a pair of green eyes looking at you in the dark corner. I think I know who was living there . hahahaha.
    Wish I could be there to help.

    That will be a few containers worth off to the landfill. Clean slate. 👍

    Windows are crazy expensive. It was a good idea to save them!

    • @MakeEverything
      @MakeEverything  Před 2 lety

      Yeah it felt wrong to toss them! they'll get used somewhere!

  • @jeremyspecce
    @jeremyspecce Před 2 lety

    Hopefully that footage from the crawl space will squash all the “what a waste” comments. That was really eye opening! Nice to see the shed being put to good use already.

      I want that cute little window. I have a perfect use for it. A friend has a small playhouse for his kuds and that window would fit it perfect.

    I think we'd like to see you build a distillery on that land. "Up state burbon and rye" has a nice ring to it!!

    Should definitely save that fireplace if it's structurally sound.. Good centerpiece of some new construction. Or just an outdoor gathering area.

  • @davebauerart
    @davebauerart Před 2 lety +2

    What happened to that sweet Craftsman table saw? Looks like it was new when the built the house.

  • @mdesousa6691
    @mdesousa6691 Před 2 lety +2

    So long as the wiring homeruns weren't stapled to attic framing, the same skidsteer method would've been worthwhile.

    • @MakeEverything
      @MakeEverything  Před 2 lety

      I almost went in that direction, but we couldnt get the skid steer around the corner to the back of the house with the foundation falling in like that, when the excavator ripped the roof off most of the wire stayed stapled to the beams!

    You should've made videos of the demo. A part of building is destroying.

    • @MakeEverything

      I’ve got footage of the knock down coming soon!!

  • @klubstompers
    @klubstompers Před 2 lety

    Weird that someone would start insulating and rocking a structure before sheeting it from the weather.

  • @klubstompers
    @klubstompers Před 2 lety +1

    All that time and money, and they couldn't spend $500 to throw in some bar and grout the foundation? CMUs are only structural when they are reinforced with concrete and steel. If the structure was worth saving, this would have been a pretty easy one day fix too.

    • @MakeEverything
      @MakeEverything  Před 2 lety

      Yup! Years of work!!! When we knocked it down you could see how bad of a job they did on the block! What a shame!!!

    What that place lacked in everything else it made up for with bay windows.😏

  • @sbeckwith7801
    @sbeckwith7801 Před 2 lety

    Demolishing a perfectly good house? Get a house mover to jack it up and rebuild the foundation. "FIX EVERYthING" At the very least, dismantle it to salvage the lumber.
