what to do with a burned out house
the house did not look that bad from the outside
but i read that it was gutted inside by fire although i did not see any broken windows or smoke damage https://www.youtube.com/embed/pGXFBYZRneQ not sure why they overflowed the bin and did not move the shredder also it is not really a very good thing for the env you now have created a pile of mixed waste unless you are in austria and can dump it all into your plasma based electric generation facility you just create more landfill but it does minimize demo time |

How about the 4th one that only has (cracked) glass at the top? |

what to do with a burned out house

www.youtube.com I have a cabin that I almost lost in the Butte [California] fire last year. Several hundred homes nearby were lost.The residue from these houses cannot just be put in an ordinary land fill or burried on site. CA has two special ones for the entire state. All of the residue had to be trucked to one of these. There were multitudes of 10 wheeler and 18 wheeler trucks going fotr months. One Sunday morning as we were comming home, in an 8 mile stretch of road, we counted over 80. Unless you are involved in a fire you tend to think that once the fire is out it is over. It is almost a year now and there are still multiple clean up operations going on. CP |

the house did not look that bad from the outside Sometimes, it doesn't matter how little a house is burned, you can't get rid of the smoke smell, so most folks demo a burned house and rebuild. My shop was once a rent house, whose back bedroom caught fire and adjacent rooms (more so the ceilings near the AC vents) were charred, with smoke stains/damage. After the fire was out, the front of the house still looked *normal. Only the back bedroom window showed evidence of fire. *I say the front looked normal. The old house looked like crap anyway, badly needing repairs and a paint job, so normal is a misnomer. https://www.flickr.com/photos/438361...in/photostream I've gutted the whole house, all but a back bath and utility room. Those rooms are junk storage, now, but hopefully will finish their remodeling, someday. *I suppose there have been times, while working on it, that I've smelled worse than burnt-house smell. Depending on the damage and location, sometimes you can salvage something.... at least for shop use. Sonny |

Hard to tell internal damage from smoke/water unless you've been inside. |

In the other, they demo-ed a house that had been on fire. You posted a video of the outside of a "what looks like a nice farm house". You also said "I did not see any broken windows or smoke damage". You can't see smoke damage from the outside and it appears that you totally missed that the upstairs windows were either missing completely or extensively damages. In other words, you really have no clue as to the condition of the interior. To imply that it would have been a better idea to move the house makes no sense considering that you have no idea about what was salvageable and what wasn't. |
