*ANDREW* - I really enjoyed this *REWIND IN TIME* showing the DETAIL you put into this project and with a BOBCAT! Thank you for the past! (From 6 years ago!)
Andrew, I spent 8 years as a commercial electrician and the difference I see with you and most of the operators I have worked with is you will put in the extra hours on the machines to make sure the job is done properly as well as looks nice.Never deviate from that as this sets you apart from the rest and people see this. You will always have work if you do good work. I look forward to the completion of this house especially the septic projectKeep the videos coming as I think I speak for all of us when I say I enjoy them.Dave
love your videos. watched them all. some two and three times. you do great work, whether its road building, maintenance, site clearing or just rebuilding snowmobiles. I love what you did with those containers. you're a very hard working, talented young man.
Every time I get to enjoy one of your jobs and videos, there are a ton of favorable comments that are right on. Always like to see an older and experienced tradesman give his view point about how the job was performed. Always good.
I don't think most people understand the variables and complexity it takes to put in a driveway like that and the attention to detail and time needed to achieve the results you get from it. You Andrew, do beautiful work.
You do nice work. I like the forward fast, different camera angles and the drone video. It's all awesome. Good job, thanks for the entertainment and education.
Andrew I worked in construction for 55 years you took a chance walking through that frozen tunnel if by some chance if it caved in your there alone god forbid crazy things happen !
Thanks Drew for sharing your work. I find it very educational and enjoyable. Watching it in timelapse is fascinating but you have to do it in realtime... it kind of makes it look simple when its not and I think takes a WHOLE LOT of patience. Excellent work!!
Oh Man...this job turned out so good! There's still some work to get done on the driveway but it is no problem. Andrew is surely an expert in designing and creating a lasting drive way and other work on the property. Thanks....7-October-2019
The naysayers claimed the pipe at the exit of the driveway would collapse. Well - looks like it had no trouble with that truck loaded with stone.. :-) Perhaps suggest to the homeowner to cut down a few of those trees along the ditch at the driveway where the roots have been damaged. They will probably come down during a storm and at an inconvenient time. No large cost to handle a few more trees when there is a pile already cut down needing handling. Wish you where close by here - would definately hire you for a garage excavating job and some stacked boulder walls! Good stuff!
Another great video Andrew. So satisfying to see the work done properly (taking the time), step by step. Looks nice at the end! Attention to detail on the project, power washing your equipment in the other video, thriftiness, it's all good. Keep up the good work. Eric
well, Andy, the vids show just how much work you put into these jobs your a one-man army those plant machines of yours are worth there weight in gold excellent job.
You do such great work. No wonder you are so busy all the time. I've been watching all your videos are you are an animal! Always on the go. I hope you take some time to relax and unwind sometimes.
Finally! Someone on youtube that can run equipment smooth and efficient! Plus your narrating and videos are top notch! And you're about my age too. Just imagine how great you will be in another 15 years! Subscribed.
Andrew excellent job that you have done on this property you definitely know what your doing its impressive to see you operate all the equipment and would enjoy meeting you in person some day also enjoy your videos so please keep them coming there appreciated thanks Rocco
The best we see in your vídeos is how you let the things behind, everything done and cleaned. You start digging and few steps forward the track is already cleaned. I'm improving a lot too. Thanks from Brazil.
Andrew , I think you have done almost everything on this property from scratch . cleaning the yard leveling , digging for concrete , apart from the wood work and roofing , I think you should get a certification for civil engineering works and take contracts for turn key solution. from start to hand over.
that tracked bobcat is really something. I thought you were dreaming pulling that dump truck up the hill. no sweat. hey, down at the house you had a tremendous pile of logs. big. now if you had a woodmizer lt10, you could have put that pile up at the castle, and milled them when work was slow, and made more money off the lumber than you did the driveway. a lot of lumber.
excellent outcome. If I were doing this job I would have just overlapped the road fabric by at minimum a foot to prevent issues in the future. I would have liked to see you compact it at every layer with a smooth roller 3 ton or heavier overall tho you def know how to run a machine looks great
Great job all around Andy, the owners must have been delighted! One suggestion to put to the owners regarding the large trees near the roadway. They will disrupt the road with their root system. Maybe they need to be removed to avoid damaged road in future? Keep up the good work,love watching your brill edited videos
Truly an amazing job! It is astounding how one man can move so many tons of earth by himself. Just think of how many men, Johnny-sacks, and days it would take to do that the old fashioned way. "Shakin a tree, Boss...." "Shakin' a tree, Luke."
Andrew, if your going to keep doing driveways in the future, you should look into a vibra-pack, sheepsfoot or roller. You can pick up smaller ones that would be perfect for driveways/small parking areas, fairly reasonably price used.
Could get a “pizza roller” for your excavator too. Good for keeping good density in footings and trenches and what not. www.skidsteersolutions.com/excavator-compactor-wheel-arrowhead/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIs6ms_Jy84AIVjaGzCh3nMQSOEAQYAyABEgKKIPD_BwE
Just found your channel, your videos have been on my recommendations for about a month and I finally clicked one, glad I did as you now have another subscriber
That look great. If you had a small ride on vibratory roller you could really pack that stuff in. One that has a drum on the front and articulates in the middle. But it looks like its pretty tight from just tracking it in with the skid steer. Not leaving very deep tire marks at all from the truck. You do really nice, neat, good looking work. You keep on like that and people going to think you're a professional. 👍
When I see you start on these projects it looks like such a mess and I wonder how you ever get that looking halfway decent, but when you’re done everything looks wonderful and with some artistic flair as well.
LOL , yes, you are right, I guess we got spoiled when we got a few videos in a row. they are so great ! I forget it does take a lot of work to edit them all . but thanks for all your doing ...
Thats very nice nature stone your putting there for the driveway :-) When im building a driveway ill go for crushed stones 0-90mm in size and a layer of 3-400 mm when its pretty muddy under the textile. Then to top with 0-8mm to drive on. The thing is, the crushed stone and wixed in with 0mm will hold the peaces on place better. Very nice to watch your videos and all the effort your doing everything with! People will hate this maby...but this is better then Letsdig18 i think :-) Greatings from Sweden :-)
So many other youtubers could learn so much from the way you make your videos. To many youtubers talk and talk. They think we want to watch them talk and tell us many things. Far from it. You on the other hand, show your skills and make a point. You don't walk around unless you are using the steady cam. Some guys think the moving around does not make an impact on us viewers. You are on top of your game here on youtube!
I'm a 47 year old woman and I'm falling in love with heavy equipment! LMBO! I can't believe it! Lol! 😂 I need someone to teach me to operate and use this stuff! Lkl
Andrew just to say crazy things happen I was a safety reporter on the job it’s winter as your video is a machine operator starts his bulldozer and the track is frozen-he Reeves it up still stuck leaves it in gear and goes to step off onto the track guess what at that moment the track breaks free you can guess the rest crazy things happen !
this is interesting. around here we would do whole driveway 3 inch minus gravel maybe 2 inch minus and fine grade it with that small gravel. but this would drain well
The tree that you left on the edge of the ditch will not live long as the roots are damaged. I would remove the the tree before it blocks the driveway in storm. Otherwise looks perfect👍🏽
