Demolition Sub-Topic?


We had a request for a Demolition Forum on the site and I'm wondering how many of you would be interested in the topic?

Do you preform this type of work?
Would you use a forum devoted to the topic?
Is Excavation & Site Work the right main topic for Demolition to be under?

Thanks

Re: Demolition Sub-Topic?


I do sometimes get into some demolition projects, maybe a couple times a year.

I'm not sure if E&SW is the best place for demo, but we can handle it here, I don't know where else you could put it that would make sense.

We do have Wolf here now and then.

See what the other guys have to say, but it's OK w/me.

Maybe construction since not all demo is done with heavy equipment.

I'm with young gun or Will. We all do some demo and most of it has nothing to do with Heavy equipment. I think construction would be good.
