IMO that pretty much perfectly describes the majority of Beau Miles' videos. ;) So if you enjoyed those particular aspects of it, I highly recommend checking some of his others out.

Ditto. And yeah, the subjects of Beau's videos are never particilarly interesting in and of themselves, but he has the uncanny ability to make even the most mundane thing feel interesting using his incredibly upbeat personality, and great writing + narration. It almost makes me wish I lived in Melbourne so I could go sit in on one of his University lectures.
Thanks for the heads up @cfabbro Edit: Finally took a second to sit down and watch it. Man, I believe I could be enraptured watching Beau take a deuce. What a great video. So much of what he talks...

So much of what he talks about strikes a chord with me. I've never really thought about how many great materials are sacrificed during a demolition. We categorically undervalue raw materials. Until raw materials are prices well above reclaimed products I don't think we'll really see much of a change. It was surprising to see just how much of that building they could get through in 4 days. The other materials (corrugated plastic, roof tiles, etc) still seemed usable as well. It's mind blowing to think about how this plays out at scale.
Yeah, pretty depressing, isn't it? But videos like this give me hope. As does: With the massive spikes in lumber prices over the last few years, due to COVID, we actually saw a glimpse of that...

With the massive spikes in lumber prices over the last few years, due to COVID, we actually saw a glimpse of that happening. And thankfully, even though lumber prices are finally falling once again, as a result of those spikes (and growing environmental consciousness) there is now a sizeable number of woodworkers, builders, DIYers, makers, and artists on a bunch of different sites (YouTube, Reddit, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Etsy, etc) that are working with reclaimed lumber, and other recycled materials. Just google 'upcycling community' if you want to start diving into some of that.

Thank you for posting!

I did check out some of his other videos and found them soothingly enjoyable!

Thanks for the recommendation, this is right up my alley.
