What a mess, that's why this channels so good. Andrew shows it all, ppl love him for his authenticity.
this is the definition of sketchy
@@dave_in_florida it can get worse trust that
It's because of us that he can afford to have all this 'authenticity'!
This sounds like one of those "seemed like a good idea at the time" kind of plans.
Was wondering how they didn't see that coming... I mean, they strapped it to the weakest parts of the roof... had they done it the other way across it might have worked.
The way this roof was built looks weak. No beam across the peak? Add in all the weight of 5 layers of shingles and this happens
Or, hold my beer
Well, it is gone now, so I guess it was successful if not elegant.
A spreader bar might have helped. Screwing on some purlins across the rafters and lifting off of them would have helped too.
After 10 beers each, all agreed this was the bulletproof way to remove a roof...
I can't believe they didn't push out one of the brick walls. I mean certainly they cracked the mortar in 100 places, but the bricks stayed stacked.
I love how he never gets mad at his dogs for being dogs.
lol im the same way. its why i keep them around. levity. the world is so serious, dogs just dont give a fuck. Super stressful situation? Yup....dog dont give a fuck, just throw my ball!!!
@@DieselRamcharger Dogs keep you honest
They are untrained annoying pests really.. A dog is a tool, and should be trained to listen to your every little wish, and never be in your way....
@@MrZnarffy untrained is right. not everyone appreciates being a slave like you do.
@@DieselRamcharger Dogs do.. They LOVE discipline.. Don't equal dogs with humans...
Never had dogs myself, but inlaws had a shephard... 3 months after getting to know me, she was the most obedient dog ever, and guess what, she adored me way more than she did her owners... You don't train your dogs, they don't like you....
*Seems like this job would have been 10x easier without the damn boom fork.*
this is like what barnhouse builders do every episode, he should have watched a few shows
This whole project doesn't seem to have been thought out much 😮
This was so poorly planned out. I mean they knew that Andrew was bringing a heavy piece of equipment to the job site but didn't provide him with a solid enough surface to be able to lift the roof pieces off of there. Not only that but with how much wood rot the roof had of course it's going to fall apart. I don't blame Andy at all I blame who was running the show. They should have just taken a normal size excavator cave in the roof then send some guys up there to recipsaw the big sections of roof into smaller ones and yeet them off the roof into the trailer. Then again I'm no expert.
@@_V1LKA5_ I completely agree, and you can bet your sweet ass Mr. Camarata will make sure that happens next time.
@@bigfatpieceofpoo lol. no. dudes a hack.
@@DieselRamcharger You gotta hack before you can saw clean. I doubt he'll do the same mistake again.
@@_V1LKA5_ since when does the GC have to provide a "solid surface" on the site for subs? Wouldn't a surface be relative to the equipment each sub was going to use?
I love that there is never an intro to these videos, just straight to work.
And… it seems to me… the things featured are not on loan to him from a manufacturer or other entity seeking to embed an advertisement in hopes one of us will buy from them. A lot of the channels I used to enjoy turned into what I call infomercials.
As we say in Sweden: "Shortcuts are often longcuts"... Love your videos though!
My brother is famous for his longcuts on the road.
Levi looks 80 and ain't going nowhere, love that dog he is a star.
Put a doggie coat on the old boy!
If I remeber right you can calculate something like 1 year is about 7 dog years. If Levi was human he must be more like 110+ years old now. At that age your hip is well allowed to get a tad tired I think.
@Matt Reid He is an old Lab big difference.
Waiting for Andrew to show us the new demo grapple he's gonna buy for the boom fork lift.
I bet Andrews business model is "yeah, I can do that"
Keep up the awesome work!!!
100%. Why make it complicated.
"We're gonna do some sketchy shit, do-da do-da. Hope we get away with it, all the do-da day!
I hope OSHA never watches his show.
@@patrickduncan9724 osha manual somewhere * explodes*
I was going to leave a comment, but yours is nicer and covers it!
Watching those guys strap the roof the same way each time with too much start hurts my brain
Yeah and then not even cutting the roof completely loose each time.
They should of strapped it parallel with the joists ripping and bundling the roof sheathing and then just taking the rafters
It does seem like there could have been better prep among other things. They risk damaging the walls of the house and making a mess. Oh well I liked watching.
Its the dumbest thing ive seen in a while. It is possible to take down those sections of roof in one piece but it would require someone who knew which was was up
If he can't weld it......
This should have been stripped down by hand, maybe some assistance withe fork and a debris bucket..agh!
Oh thank god, I thought I was actually going to have to do some work this morning.
I know the feeling. Relaxing before school, it is nice.
I don't even know how to describe what I just watched. That crew had no idea
i was worried that one guy was gonna fall off the roof
Just be glad you aren't living in the house they remodel. If I were buying a house in the area, I'd be checking if this crew was anywhere within a 1/4 mile of it.
I love it when a plan comes together in a pile of junk. Signed the A-team
It's funny how everything is a game to Cody.
😬
👍👍 ha just a question could they have roof sheeted this with tin
All the best dogs are like that!
Doggo gotta dog
Andrew: "You know my job's too easy, I should get a puppy"
Cody: "Hold my beer"
Less lifting roof off house and more imploding a house lol
That was like trying to lift a pile of leaves by tying a rope around them lol.
Perfect example of what not to do. Major damage done to the brickwork alone
@@michaeljones6832 ZERo damage what are you talking about? u dont see all the top bricks went to garbage anyway and replaced by ZIP walls
Yep, all of that second floor brickwork lost. Didn't look like that was the original plan.
Yep, I was expecting to see a ridge beam and collar ties in there, NOPE. Not much holding that old roof together.
with all the good bad & the ugly I love that Andrew put this up so we could maybe learn something!
"Insanity. Doing the same things the same way and expecting a different outcome".. 😂
Just a few more times and you'll be done
Really just a few more times and you’ll be done.
"I'm gonna drive this home cause that'd be funny" We're all thinkin it an he's just doin it
Five layers of shingles?!!! No wonder the roof was sagging...
Figure 70 pounds a bundle... that's some serious weight on stick built house
You see a neighbor said: I can fix that roof...my Dad is a TV repair man and he has an awesome set of tools.
@@rpietros Not to mention the all the snow we get on top of that.
When you went from making good money on a job to barely breaking even in 5 minutes
Next time, retract your arm and sink your forks in the ground. Then extent the boom while backing up. That’s been the easiest way to get ours unstuck here in the Georgia mud. Also, if your able to add outriggers, it’ll allow you to raise the front wheels out of the dirt to throw down track mat or plywood. Love your Chanel! Subscribed for a couple years now. Keep up the awesome work! Thank you!
So glad your part was only fork lift operator... WOW !
That's about how I expected that to go.
This entire project was a "hold my beer" moment.
Could you please hold my crate... oh you are already holding a keg...
Definitely a "hold my beer" project.
You got me good :))))
Definitely a “hold my beer” project. You got me good.
My 6 month old son loves your channel! Keep up the great videos
Good to hear that.
I don't know how they thought those would stay together with no cross bracing.
Also no making a sling out of straps
As always with this guy it's a bad design. Musta slept through his structural enginerding 101 class.
Telereach tires with no tread and no wooden mud mats. A real pro.
The new roof doesn't look much better to me.
Yeah don't know how he gets business with that crap
Destruction, Getting stuck, Cody being Cody and inspector Levi what more could you want out of a video?
I know I'm crazy saying this.... But.. A well thought out plan?
it has it all:-)
I’ve done plenty of this kind of stuff. It’s odd how it never gets old, enjoy seeing it come together.
Good job on handling obstacles. Not every job goes smooth, the important thing is the results
Could you imagine showing up home from work
And the crew got the wrong house
It has happened. Recently it was a raft of wrong addresses for roofers, who tore off the wrong roof and at least one wanted to be paid to put one back. Beware confused contractors.
And Surgeons, does the " X " on the limb mean not this one? Please write " Do not remove."
Thank you Andrew 👍🏿. Just finished watching your interview. 🇬🇧🇬🇧 I can’t wait for the mini castle build. ❣️💌
This video is more like what the channel was in the beginning... a "normal" work day for CPM. It was fun to see Cody pulling the straps, the equipment getting stuck, and a little disappointing the roof didn't stay in one piece as it was coming down. God bless Levi; he's a good boy.
Not sure how I missed this when it came out. Anyway I found it, clicked like and watched it. All is good.
i guess every crew has a guy that just stands there looking through the trusses while everyone else actually works. ours is named Kevin.
if you find yourself on a site and NO ONE is that guy... than YOU might be that guy. :I
@@jakep5121 that just blew my mind!
Hahahaha so true
@@brodysemchuk5621 Then you're Kevin. Perhaps Kyle.
. . . with hands in pocket :)
My construction boss used to say "everything takes longer in the winter"
like getting paid!
Andrew “It feels like it’s still attached” “ worst rigger ever, “I cut them but not all the way through...”. Andrew: “well....”
When the brick wall started moving, I was like that's toast now.
@@ChrisG0 I thought that was just the drone moving. So the brick DID move, eh? HAH!
Not good.
@@Kistilan I thought it was the brick moving at first, then i thought it was the drone. either way they didn't seem very stable.
Yeah he needed was a sawsall with a 12 inch blade lol...
@@Kistilan look at the reflection in the window. Its moving a LOT. that wall has to have cracks now, right?
This started out looking like the Moe, Larry & Shemp construction crew, with a side of "hold my beer" added in. Later in the video it seemed to come together though, and the end result was looking good. Well done!
I appreciate the patience and the love that you show to your animals,it makes you a better person Andrew,remember wisdom don't necessarly come with the old age,and I beleive that you are on the good path.
12 minutes and 5.5k views. Andrew is doing something right!
Andrew was doing fine, it was the crew he was working with didnt seem right.
Lol, OSHA classes around the US show these to the students on what not to do. 😂😂
Yep, something, but not this iob :)
It’s easy to be a critic. Andrew has accomplished more than most folks can imagine. As usual, he improvised and got the job done.
Andrew allways gets "a" job done. But he doesn't allways get the job done. In this instant, the approach they took did significant harm to the brick work. Though it's possible they don't even realize it.
Can’t wait to see more work on your home! It’s always a pleasure.
When I seen how the choke lift / sling configuration was used with the direction of the roof boards, I knew how this was going to end, no brainer. You can't expect 2-1/2'' nails to hold the weight of the roof if the lift slings are working to rip the boards off. The slings should have been lifting on sections of the roof trusses instead of the boards.
Right?! Who are these guys anyway?
Thats funny because there are no trusses on that roof lol. There is rafters though! I guess you just don't know the difference between trusses and rafters.
@@mikeznel6048 You're absolutely right, but you knew exactly what I meant and so did 19 others, a truss or a rafter servers the same purpose to support the roof above.., but you knew that too didn't you? It doesn't change the sling configuration now does it? Make the world a better place and don't be such an anal orifice and you can correct me on that too, it means the same thing.
You need to get a camera mount for Cody. We could have doggo-vision!
It would Cody-Cam eh?
I think most of us would get motion sickness from how much Cody jumps around!
Dogarata Maintenance and Inspection
there are go pro mounts you can attach to dog harnesses. would be a cool addition :D
That forklift has been so handy, btw, those were some great camera-shots, thanks for sharing.
Next week “ today we are going to be putting tracks on the telehandler”
You got Moe, Larry and Curly over here...
You know how much effort this guy goes through Cody would not let him strap it down 😂
Never a dull moment with him around.
Like a game of Pick-Up sticks with fishing line while sitting in a mud bath. Perfect February video Andrew!
It’s like watching a Car wreck, just couldn’t look away. The funny part as the video started I’m thinking "No way" Lol. it’s like you knew this was gonna happen, but it’s always awesome to watch. Haha
Wow, they are actually turning that into a nice home. Have a great day Andrew.
Cody is like those supervisor that are more of a hinderance 😅😅😅😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
AKA...a supervisor. Lol
I have an old farmhouse that may need something like this too. Thanks for posting.
How do 520 people dislike this video? Literally makes no sense at all! Andrew has the best and real life content on youtube! PLEASE do a walkthrough of the house when it is completely done!
Love to see that Ford putting in work.
I'm a chevy guy but still love an old ford.
I always think Andrews dogs must be some of the happiest dogs. They spend time outside all the time with him. They also get to experience new areas to explore and get all the sniffs. Also they get to hang out with their best dog friends(Lacy and others) all the time. Best inspectors on YT. :)
And they seriously celebrate their birthdays 🎂 every year. Way to go Andrew. Thanks 😊
Great job, well done Andrew. Your input was invaluable to the job, the final roof assembly looks very nice.. Bob. NZ.
Job got done ✅ that’s the main thing, banging work son keep up the good work 🙏🏽
Cody deserves his own RUclips channel.
Kind of like "Cleetus McFarland" has a channel for his dog "Places Holley Poops"
"Dogarata Maintenance and Inspection"
Interesting job Andrew. Thanks for posting.
Well, he got it done. Enjoyable video. Not the smoothest process.. doesn’t change my opinion of AC. He always figures a way. Thanks Andrew!
Never seen a roof being dismantled like that before, still guess it makes a great video to watch. Keeps you on your toes. Lovely to see Levi inspecting the job. X
Idk about you guys but my day just got better
The high winds last night about lifted the roof off from my house ! Had a high of 45 here yesterday and this morning wind chill of minus 30 ! YIKES brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Have a good day everybody
Sorry to hear Best of luck
@@TheSleepingonit Thank you , all is good as we only lost power for 5 hours . I am in the far northeast and this weather has a way of happening . Have a great day :-)
Here in NH too. That would have raised this more efficiently roof for sure!
@@oldtree218 It was a wild night for sure . I hope that you folks next door in NH are doing good today .
You call 45mph high winds?
Cody is soooo helpful!!! Those were some sketchy picks!! Glad it all worked out! Good stuff!!
It's pretty incredible how that roof (or any well-built roof) should have lifted up no problem, but... Yea plans changed quickly on how to lift the roof considering how amazing it is the thing hadn't already caved in now that we can observe its condition. I mean those beams could barely support the weight of the plywood and shingles nailed directly to it. A hurricane would have shipped that roof to Michigan overnight for free. This is one of the best demonstrations of WHY AC wanted a metal structure in the first place on his property - first to house tools, vehicles, and his metal shop. Then later to live in. The weather and especially the winter there is just ridiculous.
I appreciate how mellow everyone was. Again beautifully documented. Even though it was bizarre, no-one wearing hard hats and in fact me yelling at the screen, I built a house myself with my partner and our project “evolved” away from the original plan as well. I guess everyone just does what they can, in the cold sun and who can complain with that view!
AND NO FALL PROTECTION!
No harness , sliders, anchors, ropes, rails.
Smaller sections,And investment in some sacrificial collar ties/framework would have done alot. Made for a good video tho!
Someone tried to escape removing all those heavy shingles at Andrews expense. Kind of a mess
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing this.
6:04 I hope I'm not the only one who gets a sense of dread from seeing a staircase in the woods
Stairway to heaven 😬
There's one in my backyard
It's just part of an old foundation. Nothing more.
@Altitude The sight in the video looks like a very old house foundation, only the concrete left but that is an interesting fact I didn't know.
That video made me feel very uncomfortable many times omg.
Btw I love how the brickwall in the top didn't make it until the end. So they actually build a new house on top of the basement.
This house looks much better than it was before.
Super great camera work....Thanks Andrew...!
when i saw those old boards for the roof i knew how that was gonna go lol
i came for the hole digging and stayed for the roof raising.
Really fine materials handler, probably $200,000 machine of bought new today!
That was a tough one there Andrew, but you got it.
Always a good day when Andrew uploads
Today on This Old House.........never mind.
Best series ever, I wonder if basement Jesus applies to the roof
Now airing This Old Pile.
You definitely live and work in a beautiful part of the world Andrew. Your fork lift saved them a shed load of lifting handy bit of kit
Who else watched this thoroughly expecting the whole house to collapse?
I was thinking the roof was going to take out the floor on the way to the ground.
Me all the way through 😬🙏
Cody, you just gotta love him ...
I would have been done after shoveling the snow off the trailer. Time for a NAP!
I was surprised to see he has a snow shovel! LOL
@@SBow311 You would think he would have a snowblower attachment on the front of his truck to clear the trailer off . LOL
@@fjrdriver8924 I'm sure he's thought of it! He would probably strap 5 of those little Toro's on there if he could. LOL
I'm having my houses roof picked up and lifted so I can raise its height and make the attic into liveable space this summer!
Its a good idea. They just needed to have a structural engineer actually work it out for them before telling you to lift it haha.
Hopefully you're roof was properly constructed and not rotted and only one layer of shingles. Good luck hopefully from the foundation up an engineering firm calculated max possible load and not just what you told them it was going to be used for
@@1STGeneral Yeah its all squared away. We are bracing the roof structure to ensure everything remains square (triangle?). No rot or anything, the roof was just done by the previous owners which is why we went this route rather than ripping everything off. Plus wood is so damn expensive here now thanks to the Derecho.
Adding an additional support column in the basement and a few beams to span the floor joists without them sagging. The foundation was overenginered thanks to the developers using a cookie cutter design for both the single and double story homes in the area so its already good to bear the load.
Lol
those straps were like dentil floss on that flimsy structure.
Should’ve put straps over the actual roof frame
I wonder if just the forks at the load bearing areas themselves would've been able to lift the structure out with less breakage
Make some holes in the front of your forks. This allows you to put some pins into them to avoid that straps slip off of them :)
You can always judge when the video was made depending on how big Cody is haha.
We've (thankfully) seen some sketchy stuff on AC's channel, and he always seems to come out smelling like a rose. This one ranks up there for sketchy factor.
boy this video had great suspense in it. thought for sure a couple of times the loader was going to upset or something. was on the edge of my seat. thanks for the video.
Well that was a crappy idea should have just did it the old-fashioned way would have been quicker
I doubt with 5 layers.
They attacked this the wrong way and with no idea of what they really were doing. I've taken roofs off with cranes before and went much faster and easier.
Guess the ground's not frozen anymore. Man, that seemed like a pain! You still did a great job anyway.
Your editing skills have improved so much in the last few years! nice work
"I'm just gonna drive this back to my house. I think that'll be pretty funny"
The guy behind him: I don't think it's funny
Us at home: WRONG
Great way to start the day! Thanks!
Woooo Andrew camarata video, guess I'm not going to sleep just yet then haha
Me too. It's only 12:30AM.
I like how Levi passed the inspection and it's all up to code apparently :) That new roof looks beautiful.
Those are some awesome Dogs. Cheers for Cody and Levi, the best co-stars on U-Tube.
