I wish I could have posted this video sooner, but the truth is, it's been a rough couple of months. Almost two months ago, I lost my brother. We were close, as is my entire family. My brother and I lived pretty close to each other, so we saw each other probably once a week. He was my go-to person for help with projects around the house or advice on things going on in my life. He was one of the smartest people I knew. He'd accomplished a lot of great things in his life. At his funeral service, friends and coworkers of his—some people we had never even met before—shared similar stories about how he had helped them. That's just the kind of person he was. Outwardly, he was a fun, happy, talkative, and energetic guy. But inside, he was really struggling. I really can't tell you strongly enough to make sure you tell the people you love and care about just what they mean to you, just how important they are to you, and just how much you love them. We all have our own struggles and difficulties, and it's not always easy to tell when someone is really hurting inside. And if you're one of these people that's struggling, reach out to somebody, even me. Anybody can send me an email or send me a message on Instagram. Just know that people care.

After the main floor fell in, it looks like the Cat was laughing, saying, Ha,Ha, Ha, I’ve done you in! That rebar- every concrete grinders worst nightmare!

God I am so sorry. 40 is way too damn young. You will be reunited soon. May the lord heal your aching heart and guide you home. I’m so sorry Accept our prayers on behalf of thy servant and grant him an entrance into the land of light and joy, in the fellowship of thy saints; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen. 😢

You should keep that Rock and write "Vault Key"or "Safe Cracker" on the side. 😂

There was an old bank in Houghton Lake, Mi being tore down.... Took about a week for them to destroy the vault. All you could see was rebar coming out of it as they chipped the concrete away from it. It was poured concrete walls with as much rebar stuffed in it as you could. looked like a damn porcupine at one point in the middle of the lot.

@HomeWreckerBrian Condolences for your loss. I attempted the same... at about the same age. I'll just leave it at that. Life is complicated. Do your best to not take it personally.

My old school is being demolished, it has three big parts tight together, built in 1950, and now the end of it. It was at the best in 2000s still, but when the third part came in '03, it started to be bad airquality, and mold in the newest part.

So much fun in the sun.

Thanks for the video! It's interesting to see how you handle the bank vaults. The wrecking ball didn't seem to be doing much at first, but then you see the cumulative effect as you keep going. I notice you didn't save the vault door this time. What did you end up using the previous door for?

As a pro myself, using a bucket and thumb to do concrete is only if ive got no other tools.
