CRUNCH TIME!

 The trailer is coming out.  Here is the first round of photos.  I will do a second post with 1 or 2 videos that were pretty unbelievable.  

DAY 1
Dakota and I got to do the first crunch.  Crazy how much power this little machine has....

The began at the north end of the trailer with the CRUNCHER and just began taking big bites out of the structure.

 One of the first things they did was take out all the windows and any glass so they did not leave any big shards in the dirt when they were done.  That is thinking ahead.

They began at the south end of the structure on the roof, disassembling by hand the roof and the trusses.  Usually they would just crunch the whole thing but because of the 2 structures close to the trailer, they chose to do the roof by hand. 

Amazing power of a dump truck to haul while having no power to get out of the garden dirt .  The little mini excavator (AKA the CRUNCHER) had to pull the dump truck out of the garden.  

 Continuing the crunch.

 After they got through the first third, they came in with this crazy gas powered circular saw and cut through the metal frame with sparks flying.  I noticed that the boss delivered a fire extinguisher when he delivered this tool.  That made me feel like I had chosen my contractor well.

Here is a view from the inside of the trailer looking north with the kitchen gone.

 This is a slightly confusing photo without seeing the video first.  So go to the next post, watch the video and then come back to see the roof structure on the ground.

 We are about half way through at this point.

 Beginning to see what our view out the front of the house will be.

 The pile accumulating to get put in the truck.  One of the limiting factors of this process is the distance to the landfill.  I think we got 4 loads out today.  Here the excavator is loading the dump truck. 

 Bigger Pile.

 I gave Dakota the camera and here are some of his impressions of the day.

Around 3pm, I needed to head home to get connected with Wren.  This is the only part that was left standing.  I think they probably crunched it too and just left the floor and the big pile for tomorrow.
These guys are amazing to watch.  Very thorough and they do their job well.
