House vs. Excavator: Gone in 40 Seconds

[dshmechanic]

This happened years back to one of the homes in the neighborhood I lived in, but the only problem was, they had the wrong house. We tried to stop the idiot running the excavator, but he wouldn't listen to us. We called 911, but by the time the police arrived, he realized he was in the wrong...all this after watching the family's dog jump out of the gaping hole in the side, and especially when he saw the vase of fresh flowers on the dining room table! He payed dearly for that one!

[ironhorsedb]

i agree. ours was built with locally quarried stone, which there was loads of so it wasnt a problem. they just used wooden scaffold and ladders, they were built with stone outer, and stone dividing walls, and beams holding the floors up. pretty standard for english houses, especially old ones. i suppose all the 1700s houses in america were built from wood as it was easier to work with, more readily available and free. ours was built with stone from the quarry up the hill local, free and tough

[TheRickdma1]

cool 

[ztwntyn8]

It is clear now what my son should do for a job. He does this with rc vehicles and anything lincoln log that I build. I would love to do this to a house for free!

[StubbyEE]

At the end, the excavator farted. xD

[ironhorsedb]

@ird9999 hi my house was built in the late 1700's, its 3 storeys high, and built from red sandstone. basically the blocks are about 1 foot thick by about 1 foot tall, 2 foot long, at the base, both internal and external sides. the middle is filled with a mix of rubble, lime mortar, straw, horse-hair old bits of china and whatever else was lying about. the walls taper up to the roof where theyre about 1.5 feet thick. the house is about 50 foot by 25 foot footprint, they built it to last 500 years

[lrd9999]

@ironhorsedb Hard to imagine building that without modern equipment. My house is brick & block, but if the walls were that thick, half my kitchen would be gone! There are 1700s houses around here, but they're usually wood framed, warped and weathered. Surprised by how many of these commentators believe this house really went down in 40 seconds; in the real-time videos, the wood structures were usually harder than brick to demolish, long as bugs and rot didn't get them first.

[lrd9999]

@ironhorsedb Anyway, I hope your house lasts hundreds of years more; it must be much quieter that what they're building now. I think one of the reasons US houses seem so cheap is that the housing stock is so much younger here. Well built houses tend to survive storms and fires, so as time goes on they'll slowly replace the junk we often build. Also, our building codes aren't often based on dense development, they only get upgraded after a big fire or natural disaster.

[wodanowitz]

Rembers  the movie I Robot with Will Smith, that huge house demolition robot.

[1245678987]

lol. id have the strongest urge ever to just drive through that mother fucker with that thing

[J3110M4N14]

and it just that easy

Crappy american houses.

[stereos182]

@truckinjeff hahaha my dad says the same thing

[Hypernl]

I vote on behalf of the house: I dislike this.

[oipbhakeld]

any idea why the house was condemmed? looked pretty decent. 

[truckinjeff]

This is why you shouldn't tease excavator operators!

[greeptown]

Opps... Wrong house! O.o

[Rangerbelt]

Giant termite lol

[alextheasiangamer]

the big bad wolf should have gotten this instead of blowing houses down

[rietveen26]

the title should say ''american (wooden) house''. there's a huge difference between this and a decently built brick house :)

[mp5navy27]

ay should me

[TheGodParticle]

All those wonderful memories gone forever, shame...

[Geminii27]

Surprisingly precise and controlled. From the title, I was expecting the excavator to drive into the middle of the house, extend its boom out to maximum length, and spin in place.

[annuity100]

I hope the owner knew about this!

[KnarkPekka]

wtf? they didnt save the windows? Keep it or not. It sucks to have glass everywhere =/

[trisoma1]

Gettin paid for breakin shit.

[Todoku]

I can get you a truck full of Looney Toons pinatas.

[ironhorsedb]

well of course it only took a wee length of time, its wooden, if it were my 500 year old cumbrian farmhouse with walls 5 feet thick itd be a different matter entirely. plus, i dont think a tornado would do any damage if yankee houses were built like mine either. so theres a handy tip, build your yankee houses like the houses that were around at the same time as your country was just being founded by chris columbus.

[lrd9999]

@ironhorsedb 5 feet? Was it built that way, or just made over 20 times. There is such a thing as having "too much of a good thing", especially when there are hardly any tornados in the UK. We do try to make some cheap-ass ugly vinyl covered boxes pass for houses here in the US though.

[EpicMars]

for some reason i find this video pretty funny lol

[dummyspitter]

looks like that house is made of balsa wood

[andycflbulb]

@dummyspitter I'll say...

[smaurine]

My 2 year old son watched this with me and when the last piece fell he yells, "OH MAN!" lol

[ollie1234567lol]

HOW WEEK ARE AMERICAN HOUSES?! USE BRICKS U IDIOTS!

[andycflbulb]

@ollie1234567lol Actually, that might not be a bad idea at all in places with tornadoes, hurricanes, etc. But an exavator could still destroy a brick house

Best job EVER demolishing things that aren't yours and get paid for it.

[Roemming]

@Chloronium that has to be the best job! :D I wish it was me!!

[highwaystar148]

if that was me id just take it down at 1 time

[norchaaa]

and the real time was?

[darkseed1010]

Slowed down several times...

HOUSE IS COMPLETELY DEMOLISHED mark: waaaah nigel how du u like it

[YouLoseAndGetSpam]

It sounds like someones digging in a dorito bag

[basti21000]

[tlr1965]

What house are you referring in the title?

[Pyroman1990]

Why did they do it?

[bartanika]

Huh.... Try destroy my house. 2.5 Meter Walls :) You have no chance !!!

[MrGizmo757]

ok Now recycle all that wood back into Trees. :-)

[aznamshah80]

[mikeandhev]

Cool film!

[Rhagedx86]

Looked like it was eating it, Guess excavators get hungry too.

[vojak007]

house from woooooddd ... try this with stone.. i woud like to see

[DeathlyDonut]

Why are they so careful about it? why not just go in there with a sledge and red faction the place up

[calvinthedestroyer]

@DeathlyDonut Because they don't want to disturb the black mold, radon, lice, cockroach's, and left over drugs. You don't want that stuff spreading

[doomdart]

so elegant

[Zeus101mon]

ive never seen destruction be so neat before

[NewenglandsJeep]

Damn that house looked nice. I would of taken it if they did not want it for gods sake :-)

[andy136043]

Its funny how after the last wall falls, the guy is like,"oh, a days work well done"

[einarknutsen]

if i was in charge of that Excavator, i would just ran over it with it :P like "MOOOONSTER TRUUUCK!!!!"

[GmodGuy757]

American houses don't even put up a fight

[JeffyBigH]

@GmodGuy757 their not really built to withstand against a random excavator coming down the road and tearing it down

[GmodGuy757]

@JeffyBigH Still, atleast put a little bit of effort into building the structure...

[bigcourt70]

@GmodGuy757 are you fucking kidding me lets see your house stand up against a excavator

[lrd9999]

@GmodGuy757 At least there's a little real wood under all that ugly siding. If it were a new house there's be a lot more chip-board (aka. OSB). The amazing thing is that it's possible to make a house like that meet post-Hurricane-Andrew Florida building codes, which are among the strictest in the world. Of course, that doesn't mean it will survive the rot and termites that love houses like these.

[123456789mischief]

they did that to the house beside ours, there was about 4 feet between them. kind of freaky thing to see out side your window with breakfast.

[51HHMD]

@LeandroMuntendam And you Brits are stupid. The houses you see on TV are usually Californian same with people. Well, if you think our country is all like that you are wrong. Smarter people are to the east. The people you think Americans are are spoiled upper class snobs who live in plastic houses.

[51HHMD]

@LeandroMuntendam Hey, look at some timbers in the old houses in the town I grew up in. You would feel so ignorant. You know why we use wood? It's because it is abundant, and it was easy to obtain. And not all of our houses are wood dumbass, there are brick and stone houses too and they are just as easy to destroy.

[telx2010]

It was next door he was supposed to have demolished.
