Unless it’s been recently re done I would not rebuild on 100 year old cement , fire or no fire. I agree 100 percent. A new foundation should be done and will save you a whole lot of Headaches later. My place in WV had our old Grandparents house built in the 1800's and I know I was not there when it was built but the concrete Basement walls had to have been done by eyesight alone. Nothing was square.
God please keep they 19 fallen UBB miners out of trouble up there.

Check with your local fire department. Sometimes they are looking for structures to use for training. They will burn it down for free and do it 100% in a safe and controlled manner. This was the trailer used for training firefighters. I was the last class who used it. The fire department just finished building a new training center , so I got to burn my school down. One item checked off the 'bucket list'....lol Most fire departments will require to remove asbestos / lead/ windows/ plastics/ composition roofing/ on and on

I would check with building department to see if an asbestos survey is needed first. A property-owner I trap on, demoed a house and the Labor Dept shut him down and fined him $25,000 for not doing an asbestos survey. Same thing here in Nebraska. Has to be inspected for asbestos.... I'm told there can be some pretty hefty fines if disposed of improperly.

Often this applies to commercial properties or those within city limits, but may not apply to your rural property if you dispose of it on-site by burning and burying. Depends on your state and local laws and such.

I put a 24’ x 28’ in 4 roll offs at a total cost of $2400 to landfill. Bought my grandson the biggest wrecking bar I could find. Paid him $10 per hour to destroy it. He used my Skidloader for the biggest chunks. There is absolutely no trace.
He wants me to buy another tear down this summer !

Some great advice and I thank you. I'm still got high hopes one of those contractors will go knock it down for me.

A buddy of mine just had one knocked into the basement two miles south and two west of me. He had a problem getting people to do it too. It stood almost two years waiting on people that said they would do it. He kept asking and found a guy that showed up the next day. He is going to burn it and fill the basement with dirt.

If you can rent an excavator with a thumb and have someone drop off dumpsters you'd be surprised how few bigt dumpsters it takes to get rid of a house. I have the same plan with mine. The hoe with a thumb is $1600 for a week and dumpsters are just over $600 each. I think It will take 3 dumpsters. So around $3500 plus a day or two to do some site work.

Some great advice and I thank you. I'm still got high hopes one of those contractors will go knock it down for me. had a Tech school do a " hazardous waste" survey with their students as an exercise, then some training for the "heavy equipment" students in knocking it down. There is a 25 mile joint agreement between Canada and USA boarder states to remove all structures that may harbour skunks( rabies) Manitoba west to the coast. Do you fall in this area ?

How about stripping it to the bare walls and just adding on? Retain some original character in that part instead of all new chip board and plastic. True, I thought about that also and great idea. The two room (100 year plus) is all hard wood floors. The 10 foot add on in the 40's is plywood floor. I just don't want to take the time or have the time.

That is a great Idea and will most likely be my last straw if no will do it.

My house is going to be demolished to make room for development. The developer has bids ranging from $20-28k.

Forget piecing it out. Too many people/ Time involved. Foggy day n burn it. Simple n done. Grass/ brush piles sometimes get outta control.
swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

I might see if local fire dept. would come burn it down and I would give them a donation to make it worthwhile for them.

Once you get someone involved and they decline, they will know about it.
