100 Year-Old Homes Demolition Project // Two 1920's Houses 6 Dumpsters // Deep Water Happy

I've heard two different histories of these two 1920's houses. One is they were built to house school teachers, the other for mill workers. • Click SHOW MORE• Subscribe to the blog here: http://bit.ly/dwhHome • Subscribe & Turn on Notifications for more videos!

I dreamed of bringing them back to their original state. All the interior walls are bead board, the floors wood, and the joists and stringers heart pine. They were simple, with a few charming architectural details here and there. Collectively, however, they were in such a state of disrepair that removing them was the only option. I dreamed for years of renovating them like the cigar maker shacks in Key West, or similar houses in Charleston or Savannah. With a heavy heart, we started the three-day process for smashing and removing the homes. It took six dumpsters - four more than we anticipated. All of the claw-footed tubs and washboard sinks had been removed long ago. Someone wanted to recycle the metal, so we carefully removed roof after roof - the homes had been added onto several times over their 100-year life. Another friend selected some choice heart pine beams and a few doors for home projects. I saved one door, a couple windows with original glass, several bottles and a enameled bowl that had been repaired. Workers salvaged two axe heads, a shotgun, more bottles, and a metal hook for moving wood. On the job sites, in addition to a rented mini-excavator, we brought hand tools, fire extinguishers, and bleeding control kits. We were more worried about stepping on a rusty nail, but prepared for anything. • Bill and I are both thankful we took the Crisis Medicine Tactical Casualty Care Course: http://bit.ly/dwhCrisisMedicine with code "DeepWH" you save 20% on the TC2 course, which I highly recommend.
