I don't know about you, but I think taking down a wooden shed is tons of fun. If you happen to have two more friends visiting who aren't afraid to get their hands dirty, it's also probably a two-hour job at most.
You just need a bit of protection equipment, a few sledgehammers, and a crowbar. A power saw might help as well, but it could also count as overkill. For some of us [looks around for approval], this would actually be a dream come true: getting to smash things just like when we were kids, with the very important difference that there are no parents to ground us when they return home and see what we've done.
These guys, however, they were a bit slack. And please notice I've used the word "slack" in a correct way (albeit with a different meaning), unlike the man holding the camera who tells the driver to keep going forward until there's some "slack" in the rope. Dude, you got it the other way around: it's like saying keep throwing water on yourself until you're dry.
But that's just a small sign of things to come. Their plan is to tie a rope to one of the shed's beams and pull it with the pickup truck. The vehicle certainly has the grunt to do it, so the success of the operation is solely down to the skill of the humans involved. Which is severely tending toward zero.
The guy filming does show some impressive psychic abilities when he's able to foresee everything that was about to happen with one second in advance, but his premonition doesn't do anything to prevent it. That thin piece of wood snaps and the "slack" in the rope causes it to act as a sling and projects it right into the truck's rear window.
The driver provides another unintentional humorous moment by declaring he has a $2,500 deductible. Just like when he decided to use the truck to take down the shed, he's not thinking straight once more: just replace the window with your own money, my friend, and you'll get off a lot cheaper.
