I was waiting in front of this house for the crew to show up so we could prune the trees. This track hoe rolled around from the back yard and I thought they were going to do some heavy landscaping. All of a sudden.....

    First they demolished the house and THEN they took the chandelier out!? What else was in there???
  • Steve Holt 3 years ago
    That was the only thing in the attic. Probably been there for years, forgotten. Either that or it was the only way they could figure out to change the bulbs.

    Oh yeah! destruction and mayhem. Great fun and even better when on film.

    Love the guy pulling the chandelier out of the attic.

    i like how this can be interpreted as the most destructive way to get a crystal chandelier out of an attic.
  • Steve Holt 3 years ago
    Rather Python-esk in that respect.

    what astonishes me was that the chandelier was undamaged

    Hey they're looting the house!!! Maybe it belonged to a mini-phantom of the opera...
  • Steve Holt 3 years ago
    Sorry, no phantom. I got the story on the house. It had been empty for three years and since it's in one of Charlotte's more exclusive neighborhoods (Foxcroft) it got the normal treatment when a house sells there. Life in those neighborhoods is less about function than it is about showing off. But wouldn't we all love to be there.

    And we think our homes are solid. Yeah right. Frame and brick is no match for hydraulics...
  • Steve Holt 3 years ago
    It was frightening to see just how easy it was for that machine to destroy the place.
