Tearing down a house
About a week ago, I made a post about the gas company breaking my line at the street. It turns out that they were disconnecting the house across the street. The following day the disconnected the water, sewer, and electric. 
The entire house was gone, and shipped away to the dump in about 5 hours. The next day they came back and removed the foundation, and driveway as well. You could do this much more economically with a few friends, a case of beer, and some sawzalls. you could also save on the dump fees for everything except the roof by burning it a little at a time.
