As a teen I once demolished a single story 10'x30' wood frame building with one of these and a sledgehammer. Took less than half a day at a leisurely pace.

If it wasn't for having to haul the debris away I would have done it for free. Demo is so satisfying.

That seems to be a common feeling, that I somehow don't share. I gutted and rebuilt my last house and everybody wanted to come help me demo. I didn't want to deal with the liabilities associated with that so I generally declined.

I hate demo. I hate wearing all the gear required to prevent the debris and dust from entering my eyes and air passages.
