This man knows his editing. Just when to cut, when to jump two seconds. When to play double speed. When to drop in music. He's a master at keeping your attention. Also a top notch work ethic. Good man.
I've seen him yanking containers before....I have a suggestion?!? You are making to much friction with the ground pulling them the long ways. If you just put a pine log under one end, they would roll like butter over the ground. I kept thinking you were going to put the railroad ties under it, but you never did. You got it done, but you pushed your machine to it's max. Remember in Egypt how they built the great pyramids? They put logs under the stones to get them into position. This is a newer video so maybe Andrew will try that next time?? :)
The receipt said 171 tires @$ 3.50 per tire! That sounds like the Standard NY State Recycling Fee for junk tires. Proper cleanup is expensive. Hope all those added expenses were cover by your customer. Good work, Andrew! RL Buffalo, NY
I'm sorry to hear about Levi. I loved the way he'd put his front legs in the truck, and just sit there and wait for you to lift his backside in. He wouldn't even turn around to look at you, as if to ask for help, because he knew you'd be there for him. He was blessed to have you as his doggy daddy.
This honestly reminds me of when my family used to live near a green strip/flood plain. There was a stream that ran through a patch of woods behind my house (it went through the middle of a suburb), and every spring the snow melt would wash a ton of trash from upriver where the stream went through the city into it. My two brothers and I would go out and pick up as much of it as I could. Every year we got at least 5 big garbage bags full of stuff, and the first year we lived there we also found a bunch of tires and two shopping carts that were half buried, and my dad came and helped us dig them out. I actually quite liked the work, because it made me feel good about doing my part
Props to you, Andrew. I've seen a lot of your videos, and you come up with some pretty ingenious solutions to challenging situations. You are definitely a solution oriented dude. Most people facing the types of formidable situations that you regularly deal with, would simply get pissed off and give up. My hat's off to you!
Immensely satisfying to watch a crap pile be replaced by someplace nice to sit and drink some coffee. Thank you Andrew for the work you put in to these videos...now I have to go under the house and start doing some pier leveling. Lol, it's always something.
As soon as I saw the skid steer didn't quite make it over the top of the truck, I said to myself, "he's going to make a ramp somehow." Always thinking outside the box, whatever it takes to "git 'er dun." Great job.
every time i watch one of your videos andrew i am just amazed. you are like a one person wrecking crew and MacGiver combined!! i spent 22 years in the Marine Corps and we had a phrase: "improvise, adapt, overcome." that's exactly the way you operate. i particularly liked the sequence of "trial and error" ideas you went through to move the container box. picking up the 6x6 cross-ties to add weight to the skid steer was pure genius!! i could watch your "projects" for hours. you may be the hardest working single man on youtube. i have the utmost respect for your work ethic mr. camarata.
Man, I sure do miss working outside or just plain working, Period. Watching these videos is like working again. I'd work for food and beer. No money. Okay, just the beer. Ha ha.. Thanks, Andrew. Your videos are well composed. You have a lot of skills and experience.
Yup, my father and husband are contractors and every job I've seen them do is extremely satisfying, and it's because you see progress min by min, hour by hour, yes it's hard work but they get a ton of self gratification.
Omahabigbill I think one of the reasons is that is he is so good at what he does. I just turned into his station and I am watching everyone of his videos that involve earthmoving equipment.
Andrew, I live in central New York in the finger lakes region. It's beautiful here, but you live in a gorgeous area of the state as well. The mountains and the Hudson are fantastic. The clips from your quad are great. Would love to see your castle some day. Love your channel. Keep up the good work.
If you're going to move shipping containers, you should make a set of sledges that fit in the corner-pin holes of the shipping containers so you can drag them with the belly off the ground. Think "snowmobile front skis" but heavier for the front, and Levi's snowmobile trailer sled for the rear. The corner holes of a shipping container will take a lot of abuse, so a fixed pair of skegs at the rear and two pivoting skegs attached with chain to the dozer would slide them without much trouble over dirt, mud, gravel or snow. They could be 6x6s with steel skegs to slide-on and some steel reinforcement. And once you build a set of demountable sledges, you can use them over and over. My grandparents house was built from 7 recycled construction office cabins that were skidded in the Minnesota Winter across the snow behind a Caterpillar tractor back in the 1930s. Each room was originally a separate cabin ...placed over a new foundation and basement.
Customer satisfaction is that last bit of effort where one goes over a big job with pincers to get a really nice finish. This will lead to word of mouth and more jobs. Another nice job!
your "time lapse" footage is the perfect speed to see everything being done yet not taking all day. Plus it's interesting and amazing how "human" the equipment can look as you use it to pick through the piles and sort stuff.
I bought an old junkyard a couple decades ago, took over 5 years and tens of thousands to clean it up. Over 140 vehicles, 5000 tires, and piles and piles of garbage, mainly broken down rv's and such. I started out doing it by hand, and eventually got a big trailer and a loader. I wish I had even 1/10th the equipment you have. Just a 5-7 ton excavator, bobcat, an equipment trailer and a dump truck and I'd have cleaned that place up in a couple months.
I am a General Contractor and if i had just 3 employees half as creative, hard working and ingenious as Andrew is- well i would be a happy and wealthy man!..lol
I've got this playing in the background while I work from home. Videos like these don't require a lot of listening or focus so I can stay on topic, I can listen to some good background music, and it's fun to glance over and watch you work your equipment. Good stuff.
whilst the rest of the world continues to make a bloody mess of things its awesome to see you fixing one problem at a time , a real inspiration , so from New Zealand a huge well done Andrew
Why I'm watching this is a mystery to me. This individual is just extremely entertaining and resourceful in the things he does. Many attempt to imitate him but fail miserably. "imitation is the truest form of flattery".
Oh, look at that. First again... Sheesh, I'm on a roll! Great video Andrew, can't believe all those tires! You did a great service to this customer, place looks a hell of a lot better!!! Now he just needs to get a few trees felled to get a drop more sun in there to dry things out a bit...
Australia Calling: Andrew you sure a thinker. the way you moved the Container, the loading of the tires using the trailer as a platform. Impressed me anyways
Time and time and time I keep saying to myself it wont work it wont work but you just defy the odds and get it done, this makes your videos the best in the world
who could dislike this? I love andrew, not only the hard work, but the work he puts into editing the videos. why would people not like that? are they afraid of work? Thanks Andrew, again, love the videos!
You make this kind of work look so much fun. I have actually started clean up my own yard that someone used it to dump some stuff on and having a good time. I'm with James Couch in saying it is far more entertaining and educational in watching you do your projects than the nonsense than the programming they are putting out now a days. Awesome channel great content. God Bless
EXACTLY my experience! Im old , i used to go as hard as he does , i can now only do it in short bursts but I WENT OUT AND CLEANED UP TOO!!!!!!!!! This Man is genius yet simplistic , JUST LIKE LIFE IS.
I’m such a clean freak, I love watching videos of things, places etc being restored, cleaned and/or renovated. They relax me. Gives me hope for humanity when I see nice things being done. But on another note, This is a clear sign that Hollywood is dead. TWeenie neophytes who think they’re spitting out “entertainment “ just Pack up and go back home to Kansas.
He also tells a story, beginning, middle and end. Hollywood is given up on that last dozen years. They just want to be righteous and tell you how toxic you are. Fuck Hollywood.
hmm, most of the tires, if you cut them in half (like middle of treads like cutting a bagel in half). you then can dig down a little bit, then lay them down cut side up, in a grid. Then can cover them up with Dirt, stone, gravel. as a Road Surface. Makes for a Sturdy road for cars/trucks. Its bit harder for Rain water to wash away too. Uncle did that years ago, after battling with rainwater washing out his road. He started to cut tires in half, and placed them in ground then had them covered with gravel. Never had problem since then
@@matthewdowning6955 I think smeone is now using a machine to turn them inside out before packing with gravel. Patented the idea for road construction.
john cuervo many blades of a sawzall or grinder going to tool heaven. And the smell of burnt rubber as well as all the metal and rubber shavings... It OS a mess...
Dave Sears I had to laugh at the tire saw horse as well. Like he was thinking “uh i need something to function as a saw horse” .. “maybe 2 of the 171 tires?” 😂
Your video's are so very satisfying to watch and I don't even have to get my hands dirty. You have mad skills and knowledge Andrew. Pretty damn good at editing as well I must say. Just a great channel !!
WOW. WOW. WOW. I absolutely love your videos man ! ! You are a workaholic and have great ethics and precision. Always do quality work. If i lived around you I’d use your services in a heartbeat.
Andrew I've seen all your videos, and now I find myself seeing them again cause I enjoy watching you work and fix things so much, especially when you tear up some shit like when you fixed the winch on the dozer and tore up that subaru, oh wow when you had the side of the hill blown up with dynamite, dude I wish you could put videos out faster, and was nice seeing levy again on this one, he was a cool dog and you're a great animal lover and it's so nice how you share your life with them and have them partake in your adventures....so cool. well I'm patiently waiting for your next new one, so keep on keep'n on Amigo.....Javi
In the uk theres CONSTANT moaning about people flytipping rubbish in the most illegal places, BUT when you try to take things to the tip it seems they will Only TAKE GOLD BARS, AND DIAMONDS, BUT NO RUBBISH which although i DONT AGREE with flytipping I CAN see WHY people do it!!! In fact having done a job that required a Diesel Central heating tank to be disposed of i pumped out all of the diesel and cleaned out the tank. Then when trying to take the tank for scrap i was told that they WOULDN’T take it as i had to have a certificate to dispose of it!! Now i DO understand he possibility of fire 🔥 BUT surely the Red Tape is such a Pain in the Bum that it makes people NOT feel inclined to take on jobs like this, or IF they do to just dump it some where that they SHOULDN’T. BUT GOOD ON YOU for doing some of the jobs that you do, but think EVEN YOU would STRUGGLE with some of the BUFFOONS you would have to deal with in the uk/
Tommy on "this old House" "i'm on my way there now, down there now" Love it. Economy of words just like southern Ohio. They make fun of the way I talk but i could care less
I like that sometimes you show where things end up after you load them up. Whether it's trash, tires, logs to the sawmill, firewood, metal to the scrap yard, etc. I also like that you mention how much things cost. Everybody wants to know, but for some reason many youtube creators hide the finances like it's a state secret.
Andrew, I am always amazed at your work skills and ingenuity to solve little problems along the way (using the trailer as a ramp for example) but I also love how you think your videos through ahead of time and not just film at the moment, and then post some shaky stuff or 35 seconds of filming the ground like so many other youtubers do. You position your camera so that you drive into the shot or out of it etc. and you must be running back and forth miles after miles to place the camera or pick it up after the shot is done. Seriously, this is some incredible work that you do all by yourself and watching your videos (with the great music edited in and using time lapse just at the right moment) it is easy to forget that you do not have a camera crew following you around, but you do all on your own. It is incredible what you do for us viewers here. Thank you again for doing that! And of course thank you Levi for supervising him in all he does to make sure he presents quality work only - hehe :)
