Trail demo

jack707 · Nov 16, 2016

I need some advice about demoing a house trailer on my land. It's about 30 to 40 long single and it is a eye sore I was thinking about pushing in the walls with my tractor fel. Before I do anything I have to disconnect the propane there just 10% left but want to play it safe! So where should I start? C cut the bottom of the walls?.

….or un hook the propane and toss in a match:laughing:
I've seen people take the skin off & windows out for scrap (if it's alum.) then proceed with the demo. Some things that you think will push right over turn out to be a lot more sturdy than you think. I might push a little up high and see if it looks promising. If not, maybe cut through the bottom of the wall in a few places and loop a chain through the hole's and givherhell! Keep in mind that once you start you will not want to go back in to cut & re attach the chain in other positions. Might be worth an hour or so just to find a backhoe or excavator.

I'd put an ad on Craig's list and say Free to haul off for scrap. Don't let anyone do the actual scrapping on your property, or they'll just take the metal and leave you with the wood carcass. All or nothing kind of deal.
