How thick are the vault walls? Will it be hard to demolish. Years ago, I watched them demolish a bank in Lyman SC, with a wrecking ball... The vault walls were hard to break, I remember.
 

You should buy a grinder from my buddy and grind up all the wood into chips for elec. generation. I know, there's not enough money in chips but with all the hurricane demo the landfills will be covering the earth.
 
Usually they are about 12 in. thick. I looked at the "as built" drawings and these are suppose to 5. I don't think they are 4. Will know more tomorrow.

The ghost of the vault. Legend says that when he could not take it with him, He would not leave....... Or it might just be my brother.

Guess I missed the "set up" on this- apparently a bank, obviously still a good commercial building, but they must want to build something else there- any idea what the story is?

We had a "vault" in the building when I worked for PCA in the 70's- concrete block room in the middle of the building, with a heavy duty fire door. Not much in there- petty cash was the only money (and it was in a locked safe), and we wheeled the customer records files in there each night.

Came in one morning, and the vault door was removed and was standing against an adjacent wall. When we saw what had happened, we all burst out laughing- turns out that to save room in the vault, the door had been installed so it swung out, instead of in- so the hinges were on the outside! Bandit had just popped the hinge pins out, and pulled the door out of its casing. Boss had been in charge when building was built, and just shook his head and said "You'd think I would have caught that. . ."

Nothing taken, no harm done- and we just put the door back on the hinges, and made doubly sure safe was locked every night.
