Demolition of a house on the grounds of the Christ Lutheran Church on Old Georgetown Road in Bethesda, Maryland. It will be replaced by an apartment building.
Produced by John Z Wetmore, producer of "Perils For Pedestrians".
This house, 5017 Rugby Avenue, was originally the Christ Lutheran Church parsonage, first occupied in 1951 by Rev. Otto C. Schuetze and his family, according to their web site. In 1988 it became the Christ Church Children’s Day Care Center.
The disproportionate size of the excavator to the size of the house makes it look like its tearing down a dolls house.
They will need that big boy when they get to the actual church building.
I love how he uses the steel I beam to help
That house didn't last very long!, there is another one across the road that looks like it needs the same treatment!
Would be great to have you talk more in your videos
This house must been built in the late 50s.
Seeing built out of bricks
You see house built out bricks be very slim chance
1951. It was originally used as the parsonage for the church.

Wow I guess right
I was looking at the insulation most of it look like it was white packing foam .
Now all new houses are made out of sawdust, cardboard, glue, wood chips, plastic, and formaldehyde.
Thanks, John.
No effort to separate materials here. Just get her down!
I see this was another plan to save a failing church by building apartments on part of the site, but after 16 years that plan came to naught and now the church is out and it's all apartments. Are there more houses coming down for this? Will you be able to film the church demo?
Several plans for the property came and went. The church has been holding services at a nearby community theater. I do not know what their plans are for a permanent home, or how they will use the proceeds from the sale of their old home.
There were 4 houses on the property. I filmed 2 of them. They will start on the church next week, and I plan to be there. It should be easier to get good camera angles with all of the other structures already removed.
@@JohnZWetmore Looking forward to it.
Welchen Beruf hat dieser Baggerfahrer? Zuckerbäcker?
🙁Szomorú. Szép ház volt.🥺
Efficient work is different...
This guy isn't messing around.. how they all should be.. lol
Shame the Tree was in the way 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤷🏽♂️
he tried to avoid it 😂
They cut down lots of trees on the site, including one just six feet from that one. It was very annoying that they left it in the way.
I hate to see good houses being demolished when there are so many other houses in disrepair that need to be demolished.
What makes you think or say this was a "good" house?
the camera position is shoot thumbs down
This operator is extremel messy, & waste's alot of time running around, should have scraped the brick's off the exterior first & folded the roof & walls into it's own foot print, poor execution in my oppinion
theres no material separation, berg is a professional company and they'll have a bobcat out the next hour to clean everything up, the only job of the excavator driver is to get the building down safely and quickly, taking the bricks off would take hours
Operator was painfully slow, as if he didn’t really know how to work the machine.
"painfully slow" yet he had half the roof gone in under 5 minutes
@@lukelegg9915 half the time his claw is empty and not moving , my guy loads trucks at the same time
@@cameronhamer9432 you do realize theres a thing called dust, the few times i saw him stop he was waiting for his water guy. Also this is a 7 acre cleanout, if you know anything about demo then you'd know the only job of the excavator is to get all the buildings down as fast as possible, then a skid steer or mini excavator will come along and clean up.
@@lukelegg9915 l thought he was running the Minnie excavator you should see ours , I’m 5/6 and l can stand strait up in the bucket . Sorry l couldn’t see the hose man , here they require us to remove the dry wall , lnsulation , aspestos , lead before demolition metal must be recycled here it rains so much and they require the shingles removed prior to demolition the contents are usually wet . It’s expensive here to do demolition, and you have the government building inspector watching you every move the landfill guy inspects every load if he doesn’t like it he’ll regect it
@@cameronhamer9432 nah hes in a full size excavator, regulations here dont require removal of interior unless the building has asbestos, usually recycling is pulled out by the mini excavator after the building is down but in these houses theres not much other than wiring
