I decided to check on the progress of the A-Building demolition to see if they had finished the job. What I saw instead were 5 excavators on top the rubble moving pieces from one pile to another. It appears there is still a TON of work for them to do! I’m glad there’s rain inContinue reading “A-Building Clean-Up at Burlington High School”

A Building Rubble
I have been visiting my old school, BHS, to see how the demolition is advancing. Well, practically all of A Building has been demolished. It’s not completely gone, though. It appears some classrooms are still defiant. And admittedly, I’m glad. I understand it needs to come down. My inner child is giggling, though. The expectationContinue reading “A Building Rubble”
Burlington High School: Demolition Continues…
I wanted to see if A Building had been completely demolished. That had been the goal for the Saturday work crew. Although the auditorium is now rubble, there’s still portions of A Building still standing. Note the logo on the beam: Vermont Structural Steel Corp. How cool is that???
More Burlington High School Demolition
According to the Burlington School District, they expect the demolition to be completed very soon. A Building may be completely demolished by Saturday afternoon. That’s wild, but very likely doable. As you’ll see both in the video and photos, those machines have wreaked a ton of havoc already. And that’s what they’re supposed to do.Continue reading “More Burlington High School Demolition”
Volvo Excavator on the Go!
https://youtube.com/shorts/wz-SNzxjmRk?feature=share As Burlington High School is being demolished, I followed this excavator with my camera. I enjoyed watching it roll over the sidewalk with ease. As I filmed, there were multiple groups of students walking up from North Beach, which is at the end of Institute Road. I had to keep pausing the video, soContinue reading “Volvo Excavator on the Go!”
Burlington High School: Soon to be Demolished
ALL VIDEOS GO LIVE AT 12:30AM EASTERN DAYLIGHT TIME. I drove over to Burlington High School to see what it looked like. Admittedly, I was somewhat surprised to see such tall (maybe 7-8′ tall) fencing around it. I did figure EnviroVantage would be closer to demolition at this point. Looks like I was correct. SeeingContinue reading “Burlington High School: Soon to be Demolished”
BHS Concessions Stand & Training Room
I had never walked the Burlington High School Athletic Field before. The fence is usually locked. On April 1, 2022, though, it was wide open. I saw what looked like concession stand windows, which they were. Walking a bit farther, I saw what I initially thought was an office. The sun was shining very brightly,Continue reading “BHS Concessions Stand & Training Room”
Burlington High School Athletic Field
As I walked the baseball area of the athletic field, which I had never done before, I walked through a lot of watery grass. The mud was so wet, I sank down over an inch (2.54cm). I will say it felt pretty special to sit in the dugout. After all, I have no physical prowessContinue reading “Burlington High School Athletic Field”
Burlington High School Staging Area & Solar Panels
As I finished filming my video on BHS, I saw the crates of what turned out to be solar panels. I don’t recall them being in the parking lot the last time I filmed here. I saw a photo online of A Building’s roof. There were solar panels on it. Mystery solved! It also appearedContinue reading “Burlington High School Staging Area & Solar Panels”
Burlington High School Revisited
I returned to BHS to see what progress had been made. I filmed some shorts videos earlier in the week. The crew was hoisting wooden palettes up to the roof of A Building via a crane. It appeared they may be removing the HVAC equipment. Although I know now, they removed solar panels. Not sureContinue reading “Burlington High School Revisited”
