Also Levi is still the star of the channel 😎🇺🇸

The shipping container castle videos are great too, and I gotta see if I can still get a shirt.
This is so much better than cable tv, i like how long they are, all i gotta do is put the videos on and watch someone with a can-do attitude show me how its done, good job Andrew.
Andrew you know a lot, of fixing your heavy machinery. I really like your video's. I cannot work any longer. From problems,due too cancer competition. But i take joy in watching all your video's. Keep up your great work. Thank you.
I didn’t even monetize his videos for years, I’m putting them on here to train people and entertain, if I was only in it for the money, I would be making tons of short Clickbait videos like many others. And pushing products with sponsors.

Andrew embodies the older craftsmen I grew up with and admired. Too many people in America are dismissive, pessimistic, and overly worried about anything and everything that can be done. This is the ethic and ability that built this country and needs to be instilled in the younger generations. Probably the most positive thing I know of today are these types of videos and how engages younger and older people are with them. I hope this helps the current and next generations understand you can do anything you put your mind to.
Hi Andy, I'm a network technician for an ISP in Canada. It would be a good idea to add a pull cable into the cable conduit just in case they want to get DSL or a land line in the future, it would save them a ton of money as the ISP would charge thousands to dig a line that length in. I can tell by the telephone terminal on the pole (bottom one) that this is a pretty rural address but phone lines are still very popular due to them not going down during a power outage like cable phone lines do. Just a tip :D
I understand that works with empty conduit, but would a strong-enough vacuum be made to pull the bag through cabled pipe? I mean, either way seems probable, the vacuum broken by line or not, but I'm just unsure.
There’s a cable for cable tv/internet and I’m 98% sure that if someone still wanted a landline in the year 2022 it communicates over that cable line whenever possible
I know it’s been said before but the way you put together your videos most often showing the entire project in one video even though the actual timeline may have taken months makes for a great video. Thanks for sharing Andrew.
Andrew, The fact that I keep recognizing project sites from earlier videos tells a whole lot about how satisfied you leave your customers. Thank you sincerely for all the great content you provide!
What's really crazy, at least to me, is how similar that transformer base/box is to a junction box in the wall. Really great work, Andrew. Thank you for sharing!
Another great video, thx. Very informative ! As a forester I would advise the home owner not to have the tall trees around his garage footings. The roots are damaged by trenching and also tall thin trees are more lightly to fall with wind damage than single wide trunks.
American civil engineering never ceases to amaze me. To think that Andrew, without any qualifications or certifications can lay down HV lines without inspections or oversight..... America truly is a different place.
Thank you , Andrew for making this video and sharing.I always observed and wondered how they layed the elec.cable and the trench work. What an education you gave us! I never get tired of watching your video, s on the road work with your equipment and the labor it took on running the cable across the bridge!Pretty cool!Keeping "em "coming!👍
Greetings from Ireland I love the way you work. You have a great set up. And I love when you buy a machine you check it over and repair it to a high standard. No messing about there. I love the videos keep up the good work. You are definitely a all rounder. Not afraid to tackle any job. Nothing seem to faze you and you always keep your cool. Well done.
Andrew, i really enjoyed watching you doing all the work to bring electrical power to the homesite. You handle the machines like they’re extensions of your hands.
I had passed on this video for a few years now so I'm watching in 2022. It was good to see old Levi who still was moving reasonably well then. I had spent a few Summers after high school as a trench man doing similar work and this brought back some fond memories. Here in Northeast Ohio we could just use a trencher, except where hand digging is required near existing utilities.
The "attachment" attachment works great!! Kudos, Andrew. I love when a plan comes together. 1 pin, 1 second. You did say you were looking forward to using the trenching bucket. Here it is. Love it.
Job usually costs $25K... no problem... Andy just doubled this usual YT usual monthly intake. Friggin genius all around. He knew that already. All salute this modern day dirt bucket MILLIONAIRE. He --- of all people -- deserved it.
My husband has been OBSESSED with your videos , as he plans on modular home site prep...Underground electric supply, sewer and water line, as well as excavation of site ,footer and ICF walls (54 " crawl space)..
Not really because it broke like that. Who carries spare pins for every pivot on the machine? You normally set the recirc on the hydraulics to prevent damage to the hydraulic cylinders.
The center of a pin should be under no load, in shear or bending stress. The fact that it's breaking there says that something else must be worn out allowing the center of the pin to be loaded.
Hi Andrew. I retired from AT&T, and we had trenchers that had a chain with carbide tips on them that would cut through black top, concrete & frozen dirt. Ours were Ditch Witch & Vermeer brands. We had ONE with the wheel like you have, & didn't like using it because it would jamb up like yours did. The chain trenchers didn't jamb up at all. The carbide tips were just like the ones you replaced on the wheel. Our wheel trencher was a Vermeer on tracks. Nobody liked using it. The one job where it really worked good was where we trenched a large telephone cable down the center of a concrete alley in town.
Next time you lay cable(s)/Pipes on a dressed Drive Andrew take shallower scrapes put the top dressing on one side of the trench (preferably on the existing surface)and then put the sub base on the other side of the trench. That way when it comes to back filling the trench you can keep the good stuff for the top layer out of the way (and clean) whilst using the sub base to set the cable/pipes. This should save you a lot of time in end tidying up the driveway whilst maintaining a neat appearance. I would also invest in a decent trailer frame and set up and A Frame for the drums so you can run the cables close to ground level.
Really enjoying your videos and learning from you. I'm new to owning an excavator. I bought a Yanmar VIO50 at auction. It came with a 12" bucket and yesterday I picked up a 36" digging bucket along with a hydraulic thumb for my land clearing. Keep up the great work and may God continue to bless you.
Really been enjoying your videos nice work you do , been retired from working in the oilfields for 37+ years after watching you on all that equipment I've been thinking about going back on heavy equipment again it's never too late !
Perhaps I am naive but I would have put the wire 1 foot off the side of the driveway so the driveway did not get messed up and the conduit could go on the side of the bridge beam; no need to mess with the culvert either. It seemed a shame to dig up that nice driveway. With that being said, you do good work and you have many skills.
Andrew ! How come the conduits wernt laid in before ur gravel was put down ? Kinda double work isnt it ? Not saying u didnt think about it, but surely the property owner wouldve saved a bunch of money doing it in the beginning !
Sometimes I get down about working industrial construction but seeing all that you accomplish and everything you do shows that we are much more capable than the people who look down and call us working class or laborers. Forming a mentality like yours is a goal for me in this coming year. Thank you Andrew, keep kicking ass man
Thank you for sharing Andrew! Now that you have a mini fleet of Mini Excavators and other skid steers, you probably should keep an eye open for a larger trailer that can carry at least two of them and attachments safely to jobs and save the time shuffling equipment around as much. ;) It was nice to see you still using the Monster Pry Bar that the Essential Craftsman made up for you!
I'm continually amazed at that rocky soil. It's nothing like that around here in my corner of Texas. I guess all those boulders and rocks are deposits from melted glaciers. Very neat.
Now we know why "new yawkers" Upstate? are driven. All that hard rock to break. I'm in PNW and I have sand and river type rock in my yard...sucks but not like his level. I'd tell the wife NOPE or let me buy these big boy toys to put your garden in......I"m smitten by this guy and YT put this up only a few days ago as "you might like"...HELL YEAH I LIKE!
@@stephenfox3236 can understand doing the job as you can afford it but putting the conduit under and across the bridge would have been common sense and not a lot more money!.
Your videos absolutely amazing, I’m learning as I watch your videos, also learning how to fix a problem on a machine, keep up the awesome videos, I love them
There are not too many people like this guy. Knows so many things. Smart fella. Hard worker. Patients. I would love to work along side this man. I'd learne a lot.
Andrew off all the small contractors I have watched your company Your self make me feel we have a chance in this new world I come from the far north and you foresee many of the problems that come up, a big like to your channel
This just back up on my sytem, watched him put the road and bridge then this one, I'm so pleased to that it has had over 2 million views in that time, well done for a hard working youngman
You have the patience of Jobe, Andrew. I don't think the future building site and septic system would fly in Wisconsin, especially when water is so close to the surface. I live in sand country in western Wisconsin, it would be a dream for you.I didn't go down too far and it was like children's sandbox sand. But watching many of your videos, you must live in shale country. You are a master at fixing things.
A long run like that I would lay the ducting with a string in it then back fill once all ducting and backfilling complete pull a slighty bigger rope through using string and then using track of digger pull cable through the whole length of the run as one end of rope is fixed to cable and other is being winded around track which is of the ground and pulling cable through ducting 👍🇮🇪
It's a simple matter to re-pull a drag line using a shop vac or there are systems designed to blow a line with pressurized air or CO2. Done all the time in the electrical industry.
Hello Andrew from myself in Cape Town. What I love most about your videos is we get to see a normal speed of the work being done and as one is about to loose interest, on comes the music and you speed up the video which is awesome. Only then do you get to see your methodology of how you tackle a big job in your mind. Keep doing what you’re doing, absolutely love your videos. Oh and then the area shots from above with your little drone is awesome.
Andrew, as an older gentleman (74) I wish I had met and got to know your father. I can tell that he was a great man just by your skills and abilities. He taught you well.
The hydraulics are designed to not overstress the boom. There's no need for a shear pin in this application. It's just for greasing and the prior owner probably didn't greased it enough, letting dirt and water get into the pin weakening the metal further. He already repaired the machine.
Andrew, Would have it been easier to install a larger diameter PVC pipe in the bridge foundation when the concrete was poured? That way the hole would be there ready for the PVC conduit & cable, without having to drill through the concrete.
@Gene Dameier - Of course it would have been easier but give Andrew and the rest of the build team a break. Even on the biggest, most well thought out jobs, you have to break out the chipping hammers from time to time.
Gosh it’s so wonderful to see men not afraid to work. This is why we have civilized society, safe places for women and children to prosper. Thank you for renewing my hope in humanity.
Why not install the electric along side the road instead of in the middle? It seems to me that it would have been a lot easier? 1. Digging in softer soil instead of packed gravel. 2. wouldn't disrupt the road that will need gravel and to re-compact, likely creating a low spot. 3. Less likely to get damaged from compaction since no one is driving over it every day. Not criticism, just curiosity.
@@eagle2019 - There's tree roots under the road as well. Would take just as "forever" to dig up the fucking road, then repair and compact it again. What a dumbass.!
AC you are a very recent find for me. I love your work, work ethic, and the inspiration that you give me to know that anything is possible with the right tool and know-how. I'll hire a professional like you but I'll definitely be getting my hands dirty with him and learning all that I can.
Hey Andrew it's your friend Rocco from CT how are you doing nice to see Levi and you always enjoy your videos there appreciated. So please keep them coming thanks your FRIEND Rocco from CT
I think there is enough interest in these videos that at some point you will have millions of subscribers and you'll only be doing jobs for content not for the money lol. You have what other content creators don't, common sense, that alone makes your videos much better. The editing, content, and everything improves because of that.
Tim Jon I love his videos, he comes up with a solution for any problem and you don’t ever hear him complaining... it’s just “ oh well we got to fix that so let’s get to work” lol
Condolences for living and working in the land of rock and ledge. I lived in eastern Connecticut in a similar environment and learned why the early settlers left for Ohio where the loam was three feet deep without rocks. I now live on the sandy side of Cape Cod Massachusetts where we RARELY find a stone larger than a softball. Sure is easy on the equipment!! Love your work ethic.
@@derekakaderek Just what I was thinking! I never forget the words of a wise friend ... you get what you pay for. If you want the best/correct thing, it costs a bit more but it's worth it in the end! :)
@@NickJay In this case it was nor the correct thing, neither just a 'bit' more expensive :) He also mentioned this is just a quick fix for this job, there is an other video fixing it in a proper way.
@@herrht OK thank you for that. I've not seen the other video and I wasn't blaming Andrew per se but it was incredibly badly planned. As I said, surely the owner of the land would have known he was building a house there (as Andrew mentioned a few times) so if you were going to build a temporary driveway that would make sense to me. Personally, I'd have put the conduits into the bridge when building it knowing at some point it would need to carry the wiring etc but what do I know. It is what it is as the saying goes. :)
I really like how the video starts in the winter and shows the entirety of the project in one video. Nice job!
First Name Last Name he’s been working on this property for a while.
@@JesseDKangas I know I recognized the bridge in the beginning. I was referring to this job in particular

Andrew embodies the older craftsmen I grew up with and admired. Too many people in America are dismissive, pessimistic, and overly worried about anything and everything that can be done.

Hi Andy, I'm a network technician for an ISP in Canada. It would be a good idea to add a pull cable into the cable conduit just in case they want to get DSL or a land line in the future, it would save them a ton of money as the ISP would charge thousands to dig a line that length in.

The undergrounding of the power line setup is done by Andrew Camarata.
The pin breaking is a good design, it kept you from breaking something else - mechanical fuse. Definitely bending a ram or something.
Not really because it broke like that. Who carries spare pins for every pivot on the machine? You normally set the recirc on the hydraulics to prevent damage to the hydraulic cylinders.
The center of a pin should be under no load, in shear or bending stress. The fact that it's breaking there says that something else must be worn out allowing the center of the pin to be loaded.

I get the feeling that you sometimes do more in 1 week than I do in a whole year.....
Great video! love the editing style and clear narration 👍🏼
Guilt complex watching someone work so hard 👍 Great movie
Someone's gotta do it...
That's a beautiful piece of property. I love the winding driveway, the trees, the stream and the bridge. Pretty place.
This guy is an artist with all his big machines. It's all just playing at work everyday, this is one of the best job, I really envy you Andrew!
GREAT TUNES!!!! 😎
Reminders me of circa year 2000 and before in random clubs in London!
Haha happy days!
Keep up the great work

Awesome job, Andrew! Happy birthday, Project Supervisor Levi!!!
I was wondering after seeing so much big equipment where AC got his money for his castle, but I see, the big work going on.
Nice! Fun to see how things are getting done in real life in another countries. Nice channel by the way👍
Andrew off all the small contractors I have watched your company Your self make me feel we have a chance in this new world I come from the far north and you foresee many of the problems that come up, a big like to your channel
This just back up on my sytem, watched him put the road and bridge then this one, I'm so pleased to that it has had over 2 million views in that time, well done for a hard working youngman
ROFL! That poor guy being tossed around and getting yelled at :P Like watching a slapstick comedy.
Great video!
Didn't think I'd watch the full hour but man, you made it very interesting.
I wouldn’t doubt Andrew could do a cornea transplant with the Yanmar.
😂
I actually had a cornea transplant on my left eye like 3 yrs ago 😂
that new house is deffently off the beaten path and to install a bridge just to get to the property is outstanding. great job
You have the patience of Jobe, Andrew. I don't think the future building site and septic system would fly in Wisconsin, especially when water is so close to the surface. I live in sand country in western Wisconsin, it would be a dream for you.I didn't go down too far and it was like children's sandbox sand. But watching many of your videos, you must live in shale country. You are a master at fixing things.
Awesome video, as always. The production quality of your content is superb!
I remember this job site. Wow, Andrew you did a ton of work just to get the road in there. It was the first project I saw you do.
A long run like that I would lay the ducting with a string in it then back fill once all ducting and backfilling complete pull a slighty bigger rope through using string and then using track of digger pull cable through the whole length of the run as one end of rope is fixed to cable and other is being winded around track which is of the ground and pulling cable through ducting 👍🇮🇪
Exactly
@@brianhume4743 No problem, just start over
It's a simple matter to re-pull a drag line using a shop vac or there are systems designed to blow a line with pressurized air or CO2. Done all the time in the electrical industry.
Hello Andrew from myself in Cape Town. What I love most about your videos is we get to see a normal speed of the work being done and as one is about to loose interest, on comes the music and you speed up the video which is awesome. Only then do you get to see your methodology of how you tackle a big job in your mind. Keep doing what you’re doing, absolutely love your videos. Oh and then the area shots from above with your little drone is awesome.
Andrew, as an older gentleman (74) I wish I had met and got to know your father. I can tell that he was a great man just by your skills and abilities. He taught you well.
LEVI Killed it this Video. Andrew did a fantastic job also.
The pin is designed to break specifically before your machine breaks.
Always carry spares 'x 2...
thats why its called a shear pin
The hydraulics are designed to not overstress the boom. There's no need for a shear pin in this application. It's just for greasing and the prior owner probably didn't greased it enough, letting dirt and water get into the pin weakening the metal further.
He already repaired the machine.
That bridge still going strong I see !
Andrew, Would have it been easier to install a larger diameter PVC pipe in the bridge foundation when the concrete was poured? That way the hole would be there ready for the PVC conduit & cable, without having to drill through the concrete.
@Gene Dameier - Of course it would have been easier but give Andrew and the rest of the build team a break. Even on the biggest, most well thought out jobs, you have to break out the chipping hammers from time to time.
Gene Dameier - seems much wasn’t preplanned at the build.
Gene Dameier yes
He didn’t know what he was doing early on in that build with the electric, for a while we were talking about trying to tunnel under the stream.
Gosh it’s so wonderful to see men not afraid to work. This is why we have civilized society, safe places for women and children to prosper. Thank you for renewing my hope in humanity.
It's so rare that someone enjoys their work these days. It's even more rare that someone records it all and puts it out to the world for free.
No RUclips ads?! Thank you sir!!
Andrews content should be supported by his viewers who do not pay for it. Thanks for the video enjoyment Andrew. I will support your ads.
@@alanthompson4741 I would too! I'm actually surprised. Not many do that. He deserves the money.
He’s a self reliant person. RUclips may have demonetized it & therefore can’t play ads due to its own rules...
You are cool
@@Brandon-ch2ot I like your place
Why not install the electric along side the road instead of in the middle? It seems to me that it would have been a lot easier? 1. Digging in softer soil instead of packed gravel. 2. wouldn't disrupt the road that will need gravel and to re-compact, likely creating a low spot. 3. Less likely to get damaged from compaction since no one is driving over it every day. Not criticism, just curiosity.
Would have had to take out more trees than boulders .
@@zacksrandomvlogs - who cares about trees? It's a conduit, it can go AROUND the trees.
It's not about the trees but the tree roots!! Would have taken forever
@@eagle2019 - There's tree roots under the road as well. Would take just as "forever" to dig up the fucking road, then repair and compact it again. What a dumbass.!
Dude doesn't ever panic. Just finds a solution and moves on. Impressive.
Only place panic will get you to is the disco
I find that the editing process does wonders to cure panic.
AC you are a very recent find for me. I love your work, work ethic, and the inspiration that you give me to know that anything is possible with the right tool and know-how. I'll hire a professional like you but I'll definitely be getting my hands dirty with him and learning all that I can.
Still watch your old videos,STILL EXCELLENT WATCHING! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🙏🏽
Hey Andrew it's your friend Rocco from CT how are you doing nice to see Levi and you always enjoy your videos there appreciated. So please keep them coming thanks your FRIEND Rocco from CT
Its nice when you have all the right tools. Good stuff Andrew.
14:18 Yes! finally see the Burke Bar forge by the Essential Craftsman in action!
I saw that video too and thought the same thing when I was here. Another great contractor who I subscribe to. You have great tatse!
You are a true artist!!!!
Excellent job and video production. Lots and lots of work
Took the day off work today, had an Andrew marathon! What a blast! Always fun to watch.
I think there is enough interest in these videos that at some point you will have millions of subscribers and you'll only be doing jobs for content not for the money lol. You have what other content creators don't, common sense, that alone makes your videos much better. The editing, content, and everything improves because of that.
Tim Jon I love his videos, he comes up with a solution for any problem and you don’t ever hear him complaining... it’s just “ oh well we got to fix that so let’s get to work” lol
Watching you guys setting up the spools of wire at about 8:30 had me thinking of one phrase to describe my reaction.
*OSHA BEGINS SWEATING PROFUSELY*
Jirekianu these videos are for entertainment purposes only not actual jobsite work....
Sam Smith lmmfao 😂😂
Jirekianu osha is a problem for business in America.
@@georgeperze8756 No question about that,,,,but it dosen't mean they will not bit you in the ass every chance they get.
Hey Andrew I just ran across your channel last week I’m really impressed with the work you do
no jack stands, instareel, or pulling eyes needed for Andrew- he makes do with whatever he has and is innovative with solutions- great job!
Love the music, it reminds me of the 80s tv show, The A-TEAM. Wait a minute, you are the A-TEAM.
Love watching.
Quake game
This guy should have like 2 million subs. Love the videos man!
Protrainer 7 thanks
I was wondering after seeing so much big equipment where AC got his money for his castle, but I see, the big work going on.
Shakdi Dagalimal plus you save a shit load of money doing it yourself
pretty cool how you plug the drill in to show what you did there...great stuff Andrew... say hi to Levi
Condolences for living and working in the land of rock and ledge. I lived in eastern Connecticut in a similar environment and learned why the early settlers left for Ohio where the loam was three feet deep without rocks. I now live on the sandy side of Cape Cod Massachusetts where we RARELY find a stone larger than a softball. Sure is easy on the equipment!! Love your work ethic.
ANDREW IT'S A AWESOME JOB, PROJECT SUPERVISOR KNOWS BEST, YOUR OWN A ROCK.
Someone: Whats on TV?
Me: Some guy laying a cable
Someone: Can we change the channel?
Me: ......no
@Shiloh Draven0
You need to get Levi a Superintendent shirt!😁
Greetings Andrew happy weekend! Love you content❤👍
I really liked this video, it reminded me of when I was working with projects and installations of this type here in Brazil. Congratulations.
I’m moving to Tennessee in July and I hope I find someone with your talent and skill, you are someone we should all know
Thanks for all the videos. M
You will love T N
Store Owner: "it's $400"
AC: "Nahh it's 20 bucks and 5min of hammering"
he'll regret it when that 20 bucks elongates the holes
@@derekakaderek lol perhaps you’re both right 🤣🤣
@@derekakaderek Just what I was thinking! I never forget the words of a wise friend ... you get what you pay for. If you want the best/correct thing, it costs a bit more but it's worth it in the end! :)
@@NickJay In this case it was nor the correct thing, neither just a 'bit' more expensive :) He also mentioned this is just a quick fix for this job, there is an other video fixing it in a proper way.
@@herrht OK thank you for that. I've not seen the other video and I wasn't blaming Andrew per se but it was incredibly badly planned. As I said, surely the owner of the land would have known he was building a house there (as Andrew mentioned a few times) so if you were going to build a temporary driveway that would make sense to me. Personally, I'd have put the conduits into the bridge when building it knowing at some point it would need to carry the wiring etc but what do I know. It is what it is as the saying goes. :)
