House Demolition Machine in Europe - Video
The Colosseum still stands in the heart of Rome, the survivor of multiple earthquakes through the centuries.
The Parthenon also survives, despite being nearly blown to smithereens by the Venetians during a siege of Athens in 1687.
And like those gems of world architecture, Orlando's Round Building is proving surprisingly difficult to destroy.
The formerly seven-story structure, which dates to the year 1963, has been undergoing a slow-motion destruction over the past several months, with contractor Crusader Demolition missing a series of deadlines.
The building's unlikely survival saga took its latest turn this week, when the city of Orlando finally canceled Crusader's contract.
City spokeswoman Cassandra Lafser said that no decision has been made on who will take over the contract. But that decision will be made by Capitol Indemnity Corporation, which insured the project, she said. The city will face no additional cost because of the change, Lafser said.
Before the $736,810 contract was signed back on Aug. 4, a competing firm pointed out that the Lakeland-based company was unqualified for the job. City officials defended the firm at the time, but that approach has ended.
In addition to terminating the contract, Chief Procurement Officer David Billingsley informed the company Wednesday that the city intends to bar Crusader from bidding on city jobs for the next five years.
Little remains of the former bank building but a soggy, round hole in the ground. But it wasn't supposed to be this way. The intention was to have the building site cleared well before the adjacent Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts opened in November.
The semi-demolished structure has been an eyesore ever since, greeting patrons on their way into the gleaming, $514 million arts center. In one episode along the way, video surfaced of a Crusader employee firing an automatic weapon in the building's basement.

Orlando cancels demolition contract on Round Building
THE demolition of public toilets close to a busy Poole shopping street has ended a lengthy campaign to retain them.
Residents, businesses and shoppers were desperate to keep the Jubilee Road loos, which Borough of Poole had earmarked for closure, however a 2,000 strong petition from the Ashley Road Traders Association failed to save them.
The block had been subject to vandalism and incidents of anti-social behaviour and was closed in February 2014. It would cost 15,000 to re-open with annual running costs of nearly 14,000, said the council.
However traders, who fear the effect on their businesses, sought to have them made a community asset while they investigated taking them over and running them. But the cost and legal responsibilities made this unfeasible.
I am sad that the council has put money to one side to demolish the building, said Mike Ockenden, chairman of Ashley Road Traders. That money could have been used to refurbish the building and re-open it.
He said the council had promised six community toilets for people to use at businesses along lengthy Ashley Road but there were only three. One was at a caf which closed mid-afternoon, another at a pub and the third at Waitrose.
Traders are saying shoppers are telling them they wont shop in the street because of the lack of toilets, he said. And finding the toilets closed some desperate people were finding secluded places nearby to relieve themselves, he added.
Cllr Phil Eades, who represents Branksome West, called it: A sad day for community facilities in Upper Parkstone.
He said: The council has pressed on with the demolition of these much-needed local facilities despite there not being an adequate alternative plan in place.
The council said it was working to increase the number of businesses taking part in the community toilet scheme.

Goodbye Jubilee Road toilets: demolition gets underway after long campaign to save them
Connellsville city officials were working Thursday to figure out how to plan an emergency demolition of the former WCVI radio station building on East Crawford Avenue.
Connellsville Councilman Greg Ritch and Code Enforcement Officer Tom Currey were at city hall looking at what roadblocks might be in the way of a quick demolition.
Officials could not give a date on when demolition could begin because many issues have to be investigated.
Maybe within 30 days, sooner rather than later, Ritch said. It depends on how many roadblocks (will slow the process.)
The first thing we need to do is get an estimate on how much it will cost to demo the building, then we will know where we stand, Mayor Greg Lincoln said. Taxpayers should not have to foot the bill for this demolition because the county sold it to a person who never had any intentions on doing anything with the building. We need help putting pressure on this negligent building owner to take responsibility for this messy situation.
Ritch said before demolition could begin the city would need permission from PennDOT, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and Fayette County.
We have to bring that building down sooner rather than later, Ritch said.
Ritch said city officials are going to talk to the Fayette County Commissioners and the Connellsville Redevelopment Authority to seek options to get the building demolished.
Fayette County Commissioner Al Ambrosini felt the building might still be structurally sound.
However, I certainly understand the concern for safety and the need to take the appropriate steps to keep people safe, said Ambrosini, adding it was an appropriate step for the city to determine the cost for the demolition of the building.

The Jorgensen's award-winning Eagle Point home in Harrison Mills

Milt and Mary Jorgensen had the home of their dreams custom-built in Harrison Mills to spend their retirement years. It was all they wanted and more. What they didnt expect was the accolades the house would receive on a national level.
Their Eagle Point home was recently crowned as best custom single-detached home in the 2,200-4,000 square foot category with a national Canadian Home Builders Association SAM award.
It doesnt get any bigger than that in the industry, says the homes project manager Wilf Blum of My House Design / Build Team.
The Jorgensens have lived at Eagle Point for eight years. They bought a home and the property where this house not sits. They used to drive out from Port Coquitlam on the weekends to their getaway place. Then in became long weekends and finally turned into full-time.
Their dream home, only two doors up from where they were living before, backs onto the golf course and the Harrison River. They hired My House Design / Build Team Ltd., to quarterback the whole project, while they spent time popping in and out to see the progress and making decisions on everything from faucets to light fixtures.
The Jorgensens love everything about their home. But their favourite feature is the great room, with its large glass windows and an incredible view beyond.
We have a great view of the river and the golf course, particularly when theres eagles out there, says Milt.
Blum says there were some unique challenges with the property as it was an odd-shaped pie lot with a large dike and setback requirements. He is most proud of the execution of the house, how care and attention was put into the materials used, the details of the home and the use of many local contractors.
PEACHTREE CITY, Ga. Power management company Eaton today announced the introduction of the Halo ALLSLOPE light-emitting diode (LED) Downlight System, adding more high-performing, energy-saving products to its recessed downlighting offering. Featuring unique interchangeable beam-forming optics, full range dimming and numerous color temperatures and trim options, the HL6 downlights are specifically designed for slope ceiling applications to fulfill residential, hospitality, retail and institutional needs.
The Halo ALLSLOPE LED downlights offer customers a high-efficiency, energy-saving solution, offering up to 73 percent in energy savings with virtually no maintenance, said Mark Eubanks, president, Eatons Cooper Lighting Division. The innovative design for pitched ceilings allows the LED lamp module full adjustment capability so it can be aimed straight down in accordance with the ceiling pitch, resulting in outstanding performance and appearance.
The Halo LED ALLSLOPE recessed downlight system is specifically designed for slope ceilings with pitch aiming from 2/12 (10 degrees) to 12/12 (45 degrees). The three-piece system consists of a choice of a 6-inch aperture housing, available in 1200 lumens or 1800 lumens, an LED light engine module with three interchangeable optics and a trim selection from a full line of compatible trims including reflectors, baffles and lens choices.
The high efficacy LED downlights deliver up to 90 lumens per watt and are offered in 2700K, 3000K, 3500K and 4000K correlated color temperatures with a high color quality 90 color rendering index, satisfying Californias Title 24 compliance. The unique interchangeable beam-forming optics are available in Narrow Flood (25 degrees), Flood (40 degrees) and Wide Flood (55 degrees) options, which offer the ability to select a cone of light (beam angle) in proportion to the ceiling height. The aiming mechanism allows 360 rotation and locks the LED light module in place in accordance to the pitch.
The ALLSLOPE LED downlights offer dimming capability and are designed to last 50,000 hours. Depending on the selected housing, these AIR-TITE, ENERGY-STAR-certified products consume only 19 watts or 27 watts of energy, replacing comparable 70 watt and 100 watt traditional reflector lamp sources. The products offer up to 73 percent in energy savings over the fixtures lifespan (based on six hours daily use at $0.115/kilowatt hour).
The fixtures incorporate Halos contractor-friendly installation features including Got Nail! bar hangers with pre-installed nail and integral T-grid clip, Slide-N-Side wire traps and quick-connects for tool-less wiring outside the junction box, as well as the Pass-N-Thru bar hanger feature for tool-less shortening of bars without removal from the frame. The products are damp location listed with a wet location listing for showers and outdoor covered patios using lens trims.
