Out of curiosity, do you townies know who is doing the demo?  I'm a bit mystified at using a crane and wrecking ball for such a small building.  :dunno:

Mortenson & GE Johnson Construction. They also have cool hardhats with Vanier 2.0 on them

Right, but are they the ones actually doing the demolition?  My experience with Mortenson has been that they are just a GC and hire other contractors to perform most of the work.

I don't think a wrecking ball is being used

The (big) crane has a drill rig on it.  They were drilling on the hill yesterday. 

They are using excavators to rip the building apart

I dunno  :frown:

The blue roll offs almost make me think McPherson from topeka cause no one around here has blue ones (tthat I can think of).  That's just a guess tho.

I don't care how big or small the current structure is, and admittedly I know little about this, but I'd be coming at it with the most destructive crap I could get my hands on... I mean I'd have my crew swinging two giant wrecking balls at it to symbolize the huge rough ridin' nads our program has developed over the past 25 years while just bulldozing the crap out of the sides that the giant balls weren't crushing.

Once the inside prep work is completed, it won't take long for them to knock it down.

Just reduce the thing to dust and then come in with a crew of dudes with leaf blowers to move it out of the area... maybe hire Mueller's landscaping crew or something, amirite?

Yes, I was on site monday and their crew were the ones taking down the walls with excavators.

And sorry Benja, I got one for myself, its pretty neat-o

Remember when Willie did that skit (in 99 maybe?) where he put a lazy boy out at midfield and plopped down and had a hilariously oversized clicker and just watched TV on the minitron?

Not a bad guess, but those roll offs don't look glossy like McPherson's.  Matte roll offs like those are generally from Oregon.
