The company I work for bought an old run down two story house
across the street from the plant. There is a huge front loader
tearing it down right now. I go outside to take a look and about
twenty of my coworkers are standing there watching. I was
bored after the first 10-15 seconds and went back inside. Everyone
else is still outside watching it get finished off.


I'm just wondering if I'm the one that is not normal.:thinking:

I've always wanted to tear down a house using a sledge hammer

I wish you would come over and tear down a burned out house on one of my properties then.

Try watching a house being moved. About 4 years back a house was being moved from across the street and all of my neighbors just pulled out their folding chairs to watch the damn thing go. I walked out once to see what all of the noise was about and then just couldn't stop laughing when I saw them.

I know a company that can do that for you at a reasonable price. :)

Watching a ship sink is pretty cool.

yeah maybe for 5 minutes

one summer when I was in HS I had a job on Fort Hood tearing down cinder block walls with a sledge & rolling the debris out in a wheel barrel up a ramp to a truck bed ... I lasted 2 weeks then found something else
