well I came in and demolished all the housing that was built in the early 50's, and removed 116 sycamore trees that had been there from the start.there was a original school house and a post office and one other building that was there and they were from the original 1930's. they were left for a historical peservation but I do have photos of it coming down!I made a show that comes on PBS called "california gold", there is accually footage of me on my excavator demolishing structures. I have photo's of most of my bigger demolition jobs. like the bakersfield sign , the "strech & sew building down town, rc cola, mesa marin, the round house for BNSF. and so on!

Interesting background. What did you do in connection with land clearing of farm labor camp in Arvin ,Ca also known for "dust bowl era" where migrants from Oklahoma settled in California? Did you actually take out the old labor camp from the Depression days? What kind of structures were remaining there when you came in? Do you have any pictures of that? Would love to see the pictures of that, or of any other demo that you may have.
Thanks, and welcome to the forum.
