The excavator demolished the home of the Carr family of Mineola, Texas, before the show’s team and more than 3,000 volunteers built the family a new home. Eguene Toole, a customer of Kobelco dealer Bane Machinery, delivered demolition equipment to the site.
With Toole at the controls, the excavator tore through the hingles, plywood trussels and studs, reduing everything to a pile of rubble within minutes. Toole then used a crawler dozer to clear the rubble and build the pad for the family’s new 4,800-square-foot home.
