This is what Ive been doing this winter. Clearing foreclosed houses...

[neonkiller]

So since I cant cut lawn in the winter or landscape I plow with Sam here on the board. However snow is not always falling so the white gold is only as good as when it falls.

 

I took a look at clearing out foreclosed houses and so far its not too bad, I almost do not want to continue with my landscaping/mowing business due too the work being constant and with a good amount here and still on the way for the next 3-8yrs this can be a good way too work hard and bank then figure out something else later in life.

 

However I know I cant put all my cards on one bet so for now I like it and hope by summer Ill have two crews running full time mon-fri.

 

Overhead is some big$$$$ but if you do it right scrap your metal and sell anything of value you can end pretty well every week.

 

This video shows the before and after of what a typical house looks like here in central Ohio.

 

I have done houses that are valued at 8k - 500k. Every job is different,some real shitty, some real easy. You can almost never be prepared for what is behind that door when you unlock it.

 

 

Well here is the vid, its long a little shaky and was taken on my phone but you get the idea, and I looped the song also....:megusta:

 

Enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XynN1ywVI38&list=HL1359363661

Wow, that was nasty. How did they get so much stuff into that house? How does a job like that pay? What is the pay based upon?

It looked clean when you were done. Did you mop and vacuum too? How many square yards did you take out of that one?

[Otis Nice]

How many square yards did you take out of that one?

 

From the description on the vid:

 

Took one day 4 guys 117 cubic yds removed

 

Watching now. Love the song choice.

Nice work. Makes the 2hrs I have to spend in my garage seem like nothing.

 

Only insight...hold the camera horizontally next time

[Das Borgen]

thanks for sharing

I've done this work before. I will say it was kind of fun but truly alot of work. It's like getting to treasure hunt. Sometimes you find some pretty cool shit. One nice thing about doing it in the winter is it's not a hot box in the houses and any nasty bugs and smells won't be as active.

[jeffro]

Cool.

 

And Fuck you and your portrait style recording.

[GSXRAntwon]

Good $ right there for a days work

[neonkiller]

After Labor, gas and supplies prolly put around $1300.00 in my pocket, paid for one of the guys labor with just the metal out of the basement the day of....

[Rustlestiltskin]

Looks like theres def. money to be made but it seems like a pretty shitty job. Sifting through some nasty shit that was left behind. Goodluck either way and hope that you can keep up with it. :thumbup:

[BrianZ06]

Oh the memories. Now I'm having flashbacks. Your song choice was dead on.

[99ta]

how do you advertise for something like that?

[boosted98gst]

They had this on that show taboo. Is this consistent work?
