Nice looking and I bet you can see great out of that high boy. Does look like the reach is pretty limited, though.

 

[Dozerboy]

No its not a demo thing, but thats were a lot of the advantages lie. You see them a bit in scrap yards the most. The view is great and it gets you up and away from all the stuff that causes body damage too.

Thats for sure. That is the reason I'm the only one thats allowed to run it for the time being.

First and Second: The 460 LB and me taking the building down around a live power box

Third: Not much left

Fourth: 300 attempting to pull down the next section after I cut the leg

Fifth: Almost there

 

[Dozerboy]

First: 300 having a go at the next leg

Second and Third: I had to go cut the rest of the legs and drop it since it wasn't going well with the 300

Forth: The 460 having it out with the center section of beams

GREAT demo shots, John. Good to have you back, Dozerboy. Love those demo shots. Awesome building take down. Great work man.

First-Third: The 300 and 460 pulling down the rest of it

Forth: Now that the building is down all I have is lots of metal to process.

Fifth: Burners helping me out with the beams cutting them into 4' pieces. Latter I will split the in half.

 

[Wolf]

Must be crazy fun to topple it like that. You sure are good at it man, lot of practice, I guess.

 

[Dozerboy]

First: Cutting through some hardened 3" solid round stock

Second: Equipment all lined up for the long weekend

Third: Yep its broken

Fourth: Storm blowing in down town

nice pics

hey db, looks like you have been staying plenty busy. i love the pics, is that houstan in the background?

regards, cd

 

[Dozerboy]

Yep I've been real busy cutting metal and some more metal, and yet even more metal..... How long is this job going to be again??? I love long jobs just not when there monotonous. Yep thats the main down town of Houston in the back ground. That is why this area is getting developed a few miles from down town its worth ~85million $$$$.

Getting down to the last of the metal from the 3 building we have taken down so far. Next week we start the next phase of buildings. I got the word last week in Dec. I sheared over 500 tons of heavy iron alone. The goal was to do 250 of lite and 250 of heavy. We also had 93 loads of tin.

First: 460 linkbelt pulling the slab and loading it out

Second: Shear with a pile of big beams behind it

Third: Big beams all sheared up

Fourth: Storm blowing in we got 6" of rain out of it

Fifth: The grapple is picking up rail road rails and dropping them to break them up. The hardened steel of the rails really does a number on the shear blades if I cut them. They also have concrete all over them since they where in the slab. Then in the back ground we have a 300 and the 460 pulling concrete.

Been a while and I'm back logged with pics so here are some

One of the things I though was really neat about processing is how much room it saved. You can see in the first 4 pics how much shearing everything to 4'- saves on space. The before pics don't really do it justice those are pretty good size piles of steel.

And the last pic is them loading out all my hard work

On to the last building in this area

 

[Dozerboy]

On to the next area this is another monster building nowhere near as high though (the first 3 pics)

Another building and a wash area(big carport thing)

Last is my little buddy. I was jacking off for a week waiting on permits before starting demoing this side and he kept me company. He was blind for sure and probably sick roaming around during the day. He would come right up to my machine and me we'd feed him peanuts. After 2 days we started bringing him dog food, but he took off when we started demoing.

 

[Wolf]

Great pics, John. Looks like you are doing some awesome demo.

That raccoon looks sick, doesn't it. Glad he liked the peanuts, though.

 

[ddigger]

Very cool!

 

[Dozerboy]

First: This is the inside of the next big building its basically 5 of theses connected to each other. I was really wanting to do a massive burnout with my truck inside this thing, but there is a ton of security on this site that it wouldn't go over real well with.


Second: Paint booth notice the army green (top secrete) I found some old Cat sticker in here 12G ETC.

Next few: Large wash area built pretty stout too

Last: Dust collection system for the sand blasting booth. Our super got a hair up his butt and tore this thing apart with a 300 w/grapple. No water the dust cloud was massive and went for miles.

 

[Dozerboy]

First 2: The next building to go down

Last few: A "Carport" I took down while waiting on permits for the building
