Now that is a SLOOOOOOOOOOW job! Looks like one could take out retirement on that one job.

They at least could have a guy with a torch to cut the rebar.

Thar she blows: what about the other 1/2? Pretty to watch but the music was annoying!

Serious remodel project. Didn't know picture windows available that big.

Its called curtain wall cladding where they use fixed point glazing if you look close you can see a structure behind some of the sections often times the architect will specify no frame work around the panels using only a clear adhesive in the panel joints from a distance it gives the illusion that the glass is 1 piece for the whole wall

I start at the bottom build a big hole than push it down with the backhoe. This should be a one day project if not a 1/2 day project.
Taking it down from the top is going to take a week.

I like how the concrete dust plumes out top of the stack; perfectly straight. Really exhibits how well the demolition was planned and carried out.
