It's really expensive to get humans in to do demolition work, and termites love it. Get a large termite cooperative, buy them a van to get between jobs, and hey presto - you'd get your demolition done for next to nothing.-- neilp, Jul 16 2003 lost dog's club found http://www.chrishobbs.com/1982.htmsearch for 'bare hands' on this page [neilp, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 21 2004] feedme's link after a lot of fiddling and detective work and tweaking etc... http://www.glossosa...20/housewreck10.jpghope it's fucking worth it! [po, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 05 2004] How are they going to drive the van?-- lostdog, Jul 16 2003 ter..might be tricky. probably why it's not been baked yet.
Perhaps they could just cycle between jobs-- neilp, Jul 16 2003 i've worked plenty of demolition jobs myself - me and a truckload of ex-cons making minimum wage to whack at drywall with crowbars. it's actually a pretty high-demand temp job. a better idea for cheap demolition would be to get a few punk rock bands together at the place you want to wreck, provide a keg, and let their fans destroy the place from within. (liability waivers signed before the show, of course.)-- feedmewithyourkids, Jul 16 2003 I'm sure that, many years ago, I read a news story about a Karate club who demolished a small, decrepit house using only their bare hands. Although it's possible I might have dreamed it.-- lostdog, Jul 16 2003 [ld] see link - it's true !-- neilp, Jul 16 2003 That's the easy part. The tough part is building a house with your bare hands. You know, Karate chopping boards accurately, pounding nails with your fist, painting.-- Worldgineer, Jul 16 2003 perhaps kung-flue would help with the chimney construction-- neilp, Jul 16 2003 Be careful not to pop a woody while you're driving them around.-- LabRat, Jul 16 2003 [neilp]: One problem: Steel construction.-- Cedar Park, Jul 17 2003 //a better idea for cheap demolition would be to get a few punk rock bands together at the place you want to wreck, provide a keg, and let their fans destroy the place from within.//A bunch of us did just that in '85.-- thumbwax, Jul 17 2003 Yes, by only having one keg you inflame their anger when the beer runs out.-- krelnik, Jul 17 2003 Collect the methane released for compression into truck fuel. They should work out great (we geneticists sometimes use a crack team of highly trained phlebotomist mosquitoes).-- n-pearson, Jul 17 2003 <a href="http://www.glossosaurus.com/meta/images/20030420/housewreck10.jpg"> Bring Your Own Bat</a>-- feedmewithyourkids, Aug 09 2003 oh for goodness sake, use the link button!-- po, Aug 09 2003 random, halfbakery
