Plot Synopsis

BID & DESTROY is a reality series that follows Danley Demolition Company -- which offers demolition services throughout New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Maine -- as its workers look for treasures inside the buildings they're going to tear down. For each job, Danley Demo bids against other firms on the job, hunts for treasure as soon as they arrive on the site, and finally demolishes the structure. The Danley demo crew includes: Lee Danley, the boss who plays by the rules and often butts heads with his partner; Brian Gurry (aka "The Cowboy"), Lee's partner, who is a hard-driving, no-nonsense partner in crime; Kip Walker (aka "The Kipp-a"), a grumpy heavy-machinery operator who can't be controlled; Eric Gurry, Brian's nephew, who is the day laborer; and a number of other workers, such as Lee's daughter daughter Gina Surrette. Each 30-minute episode features a single job, including: a fire-damaged split-level home, for which normally conservative Lee puts in a low bid, where they find a small box with old currency, a classic Miss America Special bicycle and an old piano; a job from one of Lee's old friends, where they discover a classic Oldsmobile Cutlass 442, a spear gun and small cannon; a fire-damaged house in an upscale neighborhood, where they uncover a bat signed by both Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle, a Bobby Orr hockey stick and an authenticated baseball signed by Babe Ruth; an abandoned paper mill with a 16-story metal smokestack in Claremont, NH, where the guys find quite a few treasures; an abandoned boarding house with a huge pile of toilets in Manchester, NH, where the crew initially overlooks a tank in the basement with more than 50 gallons of oil -- but find the hazard just in time; an old home on a valuable lakefront property, where a Key Largo boat and trailer that was there the day before is now gone; a 150-year-old house, where the crew gets creeped out when the discover an old scythe in the yard, creepy cages in the basement and a cryptic message on a wall; and many more properties that will hopefully yield riches.
