Those buildings looked way to nice to be torn down.
The first one had asbestos in it so it had to come down. :beatsme why the second one came down i don't know.

Here's a pic of the IBM headquarters in San Jose Ca coming down, this building was built out of steal witch rusted.

pic #2 is a house demo, I'm loading out a end dump!

You have no idea....


There is no geographical reason that I should know that, other than I think that the strangest ones have since immigrated to Idaho and they brought all of their strange friends with them. We are overrun up here Californians

Wow, them Cali people are strange!

Strange is just the tip of the iceberg. It goes very, very deep...

Im suprised they were able to demo the college building due to asbestos. Unless it was completely stripped interiorly prior to the demo.

Thanks for the great pics.

Whereabouts is your brother working? san diego or la?

Nice shots of your bro trashing down that chimney. Pretty big hoe he's got there too.

Think of the house that was once around it. And look at how bad the trees are burned too. Does he push the trees down too, or just the remains of the structures?

Just the structures, the trees go for green waste.
