As the guy who was living in this house prior to all of this, that was extremely fun to watch. I'm glad you got to do this Thub. It seems like it was worthwhile. To the commenters who think this was a "perfectly good house" I assure you, it was not. Though it may not have been the worst house, there were many deficiencies. Too many to mention here. It needed to be demolished. As far as i know, it was purchased for around $750K. In its place 2 houses will be built that will likely be listed for about a million each. Call it what you want but that's just good business.

@allfather5150 9 месяцев назад

Top tip for cleaning copper pipe, grab a large cable cutter. Something that can handle 1" cable. You can just cut above and below the joints like a pair of snips. Would have cleaned that pile in about an hour. Glad to see the truck back, great vid!

Hey just some advice from an electrician that does a lot of demo of old wiring. Next time use a pair of knipex 11 inch angled side cutters to pull the staples instead of beating up your hands and shoulders yanking the staples. Also milwaukee m12 band saw will cut pipe and wire like butter.

I completely agree, and that was the plan the whole time.

Thub, you’re a great person. Just be careful of people who pick up on your “good guy vibes” and use that against you. I get the feeling “some folks” take more of the cash than you. After you’ve put in all the hard work. Justifying the cut because: “you get to make some money from RU-vid” Not judging or criticising, you or them. I want to make sure bad things don’t happen to nice people. You may spot I have a problem with quotation marks “I’m trying man, I really am” It’s just so hard to give them up.

Adventures like this can end up being really profitable especially if you are being hired to do the clean out of the property where you get to keep everything although it often becomes at the very least a two person job in a limited time frame 😮 and you can also run into asbestos issues. So safety first but love this type of content.

I did a house 15 years ago when I was a bit younger😂.we had 3 days took every metal,the deck,all the interior wood.if we had a few more days we would have had enough time to fully deconstruct the house and save the home owner the demolition cost.no cash changed hands even ripped the main copper wire back to the pole 115metres worth.great video
