Demolition 2
The final days of an apartment complex

 
These photos are documenting the pull-down of an apartment complex to be replaced by a new housing estate.

In this addition to 'Demolition 1' some more photos taken one month after the first series.

The main building is still standing, so they aren't in a hurry to get rid of it. They are stripping the fronts from the apartments though (photo 1, top row). At the backside the remains of the low-level houses are completely removed and machines are leveling out the area to prepare for raising new buildings (photo 3, 4).

Small sample-walls were also found for trying out brick-types and patterns to be used in the new houses (photo 5). They simply nailed the support beams to the construction shed. The units in front are for electricity distribution.
