Scraped! Down to the Dirt!

The house was originally built in the 1940s and has been standing for over 50 years. It took a few hours to tear it down and only a day or so to sort the debris. There wasn't much there holding the whole thing together. And generally speaking, I think it's usually the case that houses come down pretty quickly. But still surprising to witness it. The enormous equipment they bring in makes fast work of this kind of thing. Which makes me recall the endless construction videos that my kids forced me to endure when they were toddlers. I can still hear the theme music to "Lots and Lots of Trucks" in my head.
