I wish that I could say that we are banging them out but, there is just nothing going on. This is the first time that I have really and truly put some serious thought into leaving Michigan. One of the problems is... How to sell my house? My next door neighbor had his on the market for ten months and even dropped the price $20,000.... Still not even a look. I REALLY hope things start to turn around.

I got an partial stadium demolition that I am getting ready to do on Monday. Part of the stadium has a large sink hole underneath of it and started to collapse. So we are cutting out a section and also completing the underpinning, deep excavation and salvage of 3 historical concrete walls. should be completed in 45 working days.

None planned ... but have done lots of demo next inside an aircraft plant.... foundation demo is a pita..... mostly use a 200 deere with hammer.... barely enough room to spin machine.... the last one I did was setting in between a couple machines that cost 25 million a piece..... The area was enclosed by plastic.... The demo took about 3 month due to the limited hours of work.. 11pm-5am... the concrete was a very old and hard type used in the 40's and 50's, it's very very hard... plus the fact the top had 2'' rebar in it on about 2'' centers... It was elevated 4' above ground and 8' below the ground, which meant I had to work the all top off, then start at the back to start the bottom removal... lots of changing of bucket and hammer...
I would load maybe 3 or 4 truck a night. The total area was about 40 x 100.. I wish I had pics but none are allowed... they sometimes take cell phones at the gate

Looking for really big demolitions/implosions for a NOVA documentary on material science, preferably in the Las Vegas area, but anywhere in the US works. Any help would be appreciated!

If you like implosions...I got a bunch! I have been blessed with a 30 story in West Palm, bridge in Ohio, building in Greece, 1 in India (ugh) and probably 4 smaller jobs.

Has the market in Michigan picked up at all? I saw they are doing the Lafayette Building in downtown Detroit. That's ADAMO isn't it? Was that a Mike Iiltch deal too?
