  • @JackBrabhamSir
    @JackBrabhamSir 20 годин тому

    It takes some patience and a helluva lot ofbself control to take a building down both quickly and safely. Few understand that it’s actually a helluva lot of physics that need to be used so you don’t inadvertently injure or kill yourself or others. I’ve worked demolition for 20 years. This is about as professional as it gets. It doesn’t always provide the level of entertainment some expect.!

    John, you are doing an excellent job with these demolition videos. I wonder how you find out where these jobs are. In any case, you're doing a terrific job. Thanks for posting these well-done videos.

    • @JohnZWetmore
      @JohnZWetmore 13 днів тому

      Thanks. I use a variety of sources of information. Local news blogs. Google news alerts (e.g., demolition Baltimore). Tips from friends. (Dog walkers are excellent sources because they are out in their neighborhood every day.) Tips from friends in the industry. And just keeping an eye out for construction fences or excavators whenever I am going anyplace. (Red lights are helpful because they give me a minute to look up and down the side street.) Demolition permits are a public record, and are online in many places, but I don't find them that helpful. They can put a property on my radar screen, but they don't tell me if the demolition starts tomorrow or six months from now. Even with all these sources, I miss as many demolitions as I film.

    Is the refrigerant gas removed from old units or just vented to air to destroy ozone layer.

    • @JohnZWetmore
      @JohnZWetmore 15 днів тому

      It is required to remove the refrigerant gas before demolition, and most contractors do. It is usually pretty obvious when refrigerant gas is left in the system. You get condensation when the coolant lines are broken and the gas escapes and decompresses, as seen in this demolition: ua-cam.com/video/k0hR9UaMvYU/v-deo.html

    These videos are awesome! I love watching stuff get demolished. The part that cracks me up is every time there’s a guy with the hose to knock down the dust, he’s usually spraying an area that doesn’t need to be hosed down. The guy in this video wasn’t too bad but most are like a 4yo with the garden hose.

      I had hoped to be there when they took out the overhang in front, but missed it. I went up there half a dozen times, and only once were they using the high reach. It's a bit of a trek to Baltimore, so I couldn't check on it as often as places closer to Washington.
