I guess that I'm a wimp. 😳😬 I'm pretty sure that I would not have tried that without being strapped to a truck and someone backing me down.

😊😊😊😊😊😊

Not sure of the codes there for building. But why isn’t the garage just a 2 ft grade beam on piles

Does everyone compact backfill around the foundation like you do? I remember Dirt Boss doing it with his excavator vibration attachment. I think it shows your commitment to quality. That WAS steep even for the GMC monster truck you have.

That’s interesting how some homes are built in your area. That’s a lot of back filling to do. I got the pucker factor for you when you went down in the garage and then I got it again when you had to turn it 😁. Thanks for the video Brandon.

If that were my house I’d have put spancrete for the garage floor and that would have made a nice shop under the garage!

All these jobs you need to hire me !!!!!! I work cheep and don't eat much 😁😁😁 Plus I got experience. I could be your Jerry like DP has 🤕🤕🤕

Lol, my mind immediately went to the scene in the Austin Powers movie where he was trying to turn the cart around in the hallway when you were in the hole with the roller. The contractors I work for won't let me backfill a foundation like that until they at least have the floor system built so it's less likely to cave in a wall. I think the difference is, we don't see many poured concrete walls, 95% of what I see is laid cinder block walls. Thanks for sharing and happy Independence Day.

Wow, thought you were going over for second. Lot of fill.

I believe that builder owns a concrete company. If not, I bet they treat him nicely. It looks he builds bunkers instead of houses. I guess up there in tornado alley a solid concrete wall is reassuring. I'm not sure if ole Jay at JayPaydirt was suppose to let it out about your experience in a tornado but I was sorry to hear about that. I hope you don't ever see anything like it again.

Well done! We thought for sure you were going over there at one point, but with those cat-like reflexes, you pulled it off! I had almost forgotten this place but once you got going, we remembered it. That shot you had at 5:30 with the flag framed in the background made for a perfect July 4th video - especially against those clear blue skies. Thanks for the treat.

Great job buddy 😊

Looking good!

Wouldn’t be nice to have one of those remotely driven “rollers”? I saw one being used in a deep deep spot on an apartment construction site. Really cool!

The ole 2150 made short work of that demo and are them rubber pads or steel pads with rubber pads

about 27:20 ...The pucker factor looked intense... Nice recovery with the butt slide LOL... Keep up the great work Sir

Nice 😎😎😎👍👍👍

Thanks for the video Brandon nicely done with the backfill great job 👍❤️❤️. Take care of yourself and family and friends and be Blessed ❤️.

Another complex job you are doing by yourself. I hope this wasn't done today and you are enjoying the 4th sir!

Dump truck time lapse is my favorite

Wow i have half assed my driveway but its on ozark clay and rock , I didnt even have to dig down to get to clay

Looks great! Kinda bizarre, but still great!

Fun! Looking good as usual. There is a house like that that I pass on the way to the farm. It's perpendicular to the road so there is a clear view of it. One floor and dirt on three sides. I think that they are a poor man's answer to the full earth contact homes of the 1970's.

Lookin mighty nice 🎉

I wonder if the concrete suffered any heat cracking, that causes problems later on

Every summer we have a couple new dumpster companies jump into the business. They always under cut all the competition trying to get established. Most never last more than a few years tops. One company several years ago were into their second year and closed the doors. I knew of a handful of people that had dumpsters on their property/jobs and were stuck with them sitting there for well over a year. While the bankruptcy courts figured things out. Could you imagine having a brand new home that came with a permanent dumpster for the front yard!🤣 They were scattered all over 3 counties! Have a great and safe 4th of July,Elite n Fam!🇺🇸🇺🇸

That's a super comfortable tornado shelter.

You would think the heat would take the strength out of the concrete might suddenly start cracking one day.

How do you pay the dump truck's

Simple little house tear down. Oh, don't hit the two sewer cleanouts, don't hit the water supply line, stay off the concrete, don't cave in any of the berm wall and don't let a little blown insulation bother you. I think a second round of burning would have probably helped you. The berm house style always looks like the house got swallowed up into the earth. Strange. It looks like a cool beverage after work project. You made the best of it. Great job, as always.

You did a good job on that cleanup! I built a house like that (about the same size) in 1982, my next to last home I built before going into heavy construction. The south side was glass and the other 3 sides were bermed up with dirt, almost identical as this house. The owners said their utilities were really cheap. It's still being lived in today. It was a fast 6 week build, no bracing required. A concrete floor, 3 walls of concrete, wood interior framing with regular cabinets, carpets, doors and windows, just like a normal home. I'll go away now and quit 'tootin' my own horn...lol.

Love DEMO DAY!!!!

I've seen earth homes but this is the first berm home I've seen. Kind of different, to say it nicely. The front looks normal but the back is........well, the back. Good point about the Letsdig18 method. You and the 2150 handled the demolition nicely.

This is new to me to see from you, liked, viewed, shared, subscribed.... Is there anything you don't do? Great content and great job!

Hate to see a burnt up home, glad no one was hurt! I’m thinking Let’s Dig might start watching your vids for tips 😆

Good video

These videos are always special. Experieince it's what it's all about and we liked your thinking about "slow & steady" being the best way to do this, plus you were very careful working around the house so that worked out nicely. The pile really compacted up better than I thought it would, too, and we always get a kick out of using the old mattresses as a "mop". You should have video'd when you blew it out - I;m sure you were in a big cloud, LOL. Glad you got that interior pic of "before" - the fire really destroyed the place. Did they say what caused the fire? Electrical malfunction? Have a happy 4th, Brandon.

Something so satisfying about tearing a house down 🍺🍺 Great job B.

I wonder how many loads if it had not burned ? Seems like 15% maybe

I grew up in and have now inherited a house similar to that. Great for temperature regulation, storm resistance and so quiet. Just have to keep humidity in check here in north carolina. The design must have been featured in Popular Mechanics or Mother Earth News back in the 60s. I'm too lazy to research that right now, but I think that is where the idea came to Dad. I'll have to ask his little brother who is still with us.

amazing....

Great work! Happy 4th of July to you and your family.

That was an interesting house. I’ve never seen one like that. Great job on the tear down and clean up. Thanks for sharing Brandon.

I like tear down videos. Thanks for posting. Enjoyed this one. I’ve seen a couple of these berm houses over the years. Very unique homes. Thanks Brandon.

Great job Brandon!! Cleaned that up quick, fast and in a hurry!! 😂🤣

Does everything you hauled away go to landfill or is any of it recycled?

I think it’s time for some new tracks for the machine looking bad

We have one of those berm houses about 6 miles up the road from us. Quiet the deal back when it was built years ago.

No salvage the aluminum?

Looks great now you can walk around the work site 👍🏻🇺🇲
