Andrew you are a credit to your family and your work ethics are beyond more than anyone I have ever known. Good for you.
I’m retired and I Just told my wife why am I watching this your a workaholic and she says so are you 😂 I’ve done almost every thing that you’ve done except you have way more talent than I have. Love your videos. Thank you sir!
The fact that the customers keep on getting you back for more jobs is proof that you must be doing a pretty damn good job. You should
advertise your YT site on the side of the trucks......
Some people (myself included) dont want to expand or grow. Just staying local and working 4-6 days a week keeps me happy. Employees suck and 1 in 100 (in our culture) is so so good. DONT need the headache....
@@Melicoy exactly. You don’t want your job to feel like a job you want it to feel like a hobby
@@Melicoy Yep you've got it. I've got employees and it's headache after headache.
Outstanding work for the customer!
I've been watching Andrew's work for the last year or two prolly longer. Sometimes I fast forward just to watch later and see something I may have missed. Other times I watch 'em again because to be honest, Andrew is a high-light of the day rerun or not . I mean this guy is so smart, honest and wise beyond his years, respects his dad, he is super positive,( EVEN THE VIDEOS WHERE HE'S "DISSED", HE SHOWS NO ILL WILL), not like some you-tubers. Although one can tell he's angry he'll not lash out. good job dad,(THAT'S TO YOUR FATHER HE RAISED YOU PROPER WITH "OLD SCHOOL" AND A WHOLE LOTTA RIGHTEOUS MANNERS). GO TEAM ANDREW CAMARATA ! !
Andrew, i have been in mining and contracting for nearly 30 years but
every time i see another video of your i have to pause it and put the kettle on
its a joy to watch you work some old gear into doing magic
it shows you cant blame the tools for quality of work, its way more to do with the operator
and you show the break downs and even how you fix them
i guess a lot of guys respect that
Amen that’s my feelings ever since I saw his first video
Hey Andrew, I watch all of your videos and enjoy them! One thing I would like to recommend is that you bring a leaf blower to jobs like this one where a little bit of extra clean up would show customers that you really go the extra mile. I do a lot of landscaping type work and I always go back and blow dirt, grass, etc off of driveways, rocks, walls, and anywhere that it doesn’t need to be.
Hi Andrew, I see your uploading more videos lately. I know your busy and sometimes you can't do them every other day. But thanks. Your my favorite Channel. On this video here, I would like to compliment you on how well you spread stone while making driveways. I work for a municipality and have 10 guys, and there is not a one person that can spread gravel as good as you. In fact I never seen anyone that is considered a professional that can spread stone or gravel like you do. Your the best. And I mean that. Anyone who says different are stupid and don't know what it is like to have piles every 10 feet and then try to grade them out. Your RUclips friend James. And God Bless. Have a great day Andrew.
Your comment is right on the money! This man has talent akin to art. As a former Township Supervisor here in PA, I've seen the same kind of things as you, James, and Andrew has really got what it takes. I suppose the fact that he clearly loves it helps, LOL! I call him "Can-Do Andrew" because there's almost nothing he won't tackle - and complete. My favorite channel, too, hands down.
i hate when people make piles every ten feet, just tilt the bed up a little and put it in first gear and let er move forward idling while dropping material
You are bang on the money here. The guy makes it look effortless. Me and a mate had to put out some gravel a while back and we quickly discovered it was one of those jobs that looks easy but quickly turns out to be impossible. We had a tractor with a bucket on the front but couldn't get it to fill properly from the pile of gravel. We couldn't get the bucket to tip the gravel evenly. Ended up with a bunch of piles all over the place which we had to spread by hand with shovels. Job was a nightmare for us two idiots but I see it can be done properly by someone with talent.
Very nice comment, James. You're a good man.
Ditto, James. :-)
The road held up nice! I’m going to be extending my driveway to include a small road next to my house. Your videos are always a great reference point for jobs like this. Very much appreciated and keep up the good work!!
Andrew, you always do such a nice job. You go the extra mile to leave your work tidy.
Repeat business, that is golden. Another good video, Thanks!
I just want to love something like Andrew loves bluestone.
I could watch your videos all day Andrew. You always know exactly what you are doing. Nice job buddy. And I am seriously blown away by the beauty of the area you live in. I know you said it was in Northern New York. Just never knew it was that beautiful.
Whew!! That drone shot sure reveals a new roof is in their future!!
I admire a man that is great at what he does, and appreciates artisan work on other crafts. Andrew immediately recognized artisan work on the retaining wall. Admirable trait as Andrew is an example of confidence without arrogance and a person that appreciates good work by others! Kudos videos are great please keep them coming!
Hey Andrew, received your T-shirt today. Fits perfect. Great quality and received it faster than I thought. Happy to support you and your channel. Keep it up. Cheers
Thanks, glad to hear.
Young Man I know you strive to be the best at what you do, and I have to say you do a great job at it, but I feel as if you need to learn one more thing, and I am thinking you have learn that now days also, but back a few years ago you were lacking that, never say th job is done till the clean up is completely done, leaving th dirt on the wall is not saying the job is done,
Now I know you have gotten much better cause I have watch about all your band have given them all a thumbs up, and will continue the do so, cause we all learn from the things we do, as you have to become more better at what you do, anyway have a great day and God bless ya 👍✌️
I really love working with all kinds of heavy machinery it's what I have done most of not all my life 👍✌️
There is something about running them and showing what you are capable of doing with them✌️
I just want to thank you for the videos that you post, I myself am in the excavation business just like you and run a lot of older equipment, sadly I've been struggling these past three years to keep going on, I don't have the willpower and enthusiasm to do it anymore and just rather sell all my equipment and forget about everything, but when I watch your videos you kind of inspired me to keep on going so thank you Andrew.
Thanks, doing excavation beats a desk job.
Don't quite bro
wuss
Hope your doing better, you know Jesus will give you purpose and fulfillment.

Tight quarters for sure! Very nice, as usual, Andrew. Our whole family enjoys these so much and we all really like your positive attitude. I guess it really helps that people will pay you to do what you obviously enjoy!
Cowboy Andrew! Ride that tractor like a trick rider!
It looks like rain would wash that away coming off that steep hill. Awesome video, keep em coming. 👍
I just cannot get enough of your videos Andrew. I’d like to see the building of your castle in chronological order. I’m up to the roof being put on, but can you give us a full tour inside and out. Your spare time must be used in making the videos, they are really very well made. I’d like to be doing what you do here in England but we don’t have the same space or need really. Thank you
love all the videos looks really good thanks for posting Andrew
Keep up the good videos Andrew I enjoy watching your work
Your mastery of civil engineering is impressive.
Nice job....The road held up great.....thanks for the video
Great content Andrew! Good Saturday morning inspiration before starting a busy work day. Thanks
Never saw such a device like the one on the back of your tractor but it surely looks useful for leveling and grading.
Getting invited back is a big time proof of work well done.
or very low price lol
Not that he is a low price im sure someone will say I said that ROFL
@@Melicoy If you work cheap but do a shitty job, you'll never get invited back., buddy
Besides, his offers get rejected regularly, so I doubt he is that cheap a contractor.
i'd rather not have the job than to have to work for cheap.
That's so cool that it's real bluestone, everything I see around me is either a facade or stamped concrete
I would watch this all day long
Wdindwu
Haze I bloody well do haha. My projects are piling up because of bloody Andrew. ✌️👍
I think you shoulda left 6-12” of wall sticking above the hillside. A heavy rain will wash a lot of stuff over the wall. 6-12” leaves plenty of room for plant growth and debris to accumulate, before you start having issues
I agree with James Sween Just has two loads of crushed dropped on my drive and it was sad. spent four hours on tractor leveling it out. also you gotta have some big cajones to ride that hillside like you did. super impressed.
Great video! Beautiful country up there.
I have a tractor with all attachments. I try to do most or all of the work around my properties. I'm good at few things but not so on many others. I have watched and learned from Andrew's videos. I'm impressed of his work ethics and customer handling. He is truly a gifted man. Thank you for all the vids, the tips, and the hope you instill in us (homeowners) that there are good business folks out there.
On a side note, being from the south, I have to say, I'm impressed with New York natural landscape.
Great job! Cool tunes! Super drone views!
keep up the good work just started watching but so far its amazing
Great job & Video AC, please don't worry about the you-tubers what they think about your work, as long as your customers are happy with your work and your bank account keeps building up that's all it matters. God bless you!!!
Andrew, you got by far the best videos!!!!!
good vid Andy there is never a dull moment watching you.
Great videos, really glad that I found your channel!
Nicely done Andrew, thanks....
Wow, another great job...You are definitely one of the best in the trade...
Andrew another job done you've over delivered and of course its the way you "do business"...Keep up the great vlogs and I'm sure everyone enjoys the extra vlogs...Many Txs..
Really like the videos you put together. Please keep it up.
hey, you really don't have to justify your work. It is as good as it gets in my opinion. great videos. thanks.
Andrew I love the way you constantly know exactly what you're going to do how to do it plan it out perfect work by yourself 90% of the time I believe you built a beautiful garage Castle love it keep posting more videos love watching you do stuff definitely very gifted and very smart on the way you operate your machinery I wish you were closer to where I live I know you live in somewhere and upper part of New York State I currently live in New York to right next to Hamlin Beach State Park good old Hamlin New York love to hear from you keep it up and God bless
Thank you for the video !!!
You had me suckin' in my breathe when you started to lean too far left...that was a thriller.
great showing the blue tractor looks really nice and a good work horse
I think your job is your hobby👍👍🙂🙂 nice work
You do great dirt work
Thanks again for the Videos!
Man be careful Andrew that sideriding looked awkward. I hope nothing bad happens to you we all need you safe and sound your videos help people I know forme I love Levi and I like learning how you do things I like how you don't give up on stuff you fix. Be safe man take care and give Levi a peanut butter treat for me.
Looks great, Andrew.
My concern immediately was all the dirt and water that will roll right over the top of that wall. Should have a minimum of 6 inch lip on back side. Also gravel ( or dirt gravel mix) would have been my first choice. Sediment will wash down anyway and grass or weeds grow as good in gravel as they do dirt and gravel would have been far superior for drainage. Great videos. Sorry, just my two cents : )
It’s looking amazing, love your music. Thank you for sharing your story. God bless you and your family
I love that you didnt narrow the ramps......I thought it would bring out more of the trailer Trolls....lol Another great vidio keep it up CHEERS
I HAVE to get a drone! Great job on the retaining wall Andrew!
That hill didn’t look that steep until you were on the side of the tractor! Nice work!
Definately looks alot nicer Andrew.....nice.
Man that house needs a new roof badly! Andrew, Let's get to work. 😁
Nice job Andrew!
I did a job like this before ... the dirt pile being in the driveway ... with wheelbarrow and shovel being the only tools. If I remember correctly, they made me lunch. So benefits either way.
Andrew, you are a one man dynamo! Anything you can’t do with all your power equipment?!!! Love watching your videos. You do wonderful work. Good fortunes in the future lol
Felix
I like the low altitude drone shots, its easy to hit the ground flying so low
dude that hill was steep! I cant believe you had the tractor on it as much as you did. I was scared just watching you do it. I get real nervous on hills with my Kubota. I have seen far to many roll over. great job! enjoyed the video very exciting!
Good job Andrew looks nice
Thank you , Andrew .
Looks a hell of a lot more like five to me brother!!! But your a good honest man give them more than they ask for!
Andrew's best and hardest working machine is himself!
Nice job!
I the crew that built the wall wasnt a hardscape crew but just a mason crew. thats a stacked stone wall which isn't really correct for that application but it was done to match that existing wall. that is the reason there wasn't proper drainage or backfill because of the style of wall built. it was essentially a knee wall with dirt backup on one side. nice work though. i love the extra effort. i could never find guys like you to be foreman for my crews. well done.
Great job
Coming close to tipping in the Ford tractor. I would be sweating my ass off! I love the grading attachment
try loading a tricycle type tractor wth shitty ramps onto a trailer lol, talk about a clencher
john dowe LOL I can just picture how awkward that loading and unloading would be. Should've filmed it!
B White the tractor broke all the boards on the trailer and it fell through lol, I ended up paying a wrecker to take my tractor home. I had a 20ft trailer but when I built it I didn't put runners to support the planks because I wasn't planning on loading anything heavy on it. But I ended up smashed my trailer to pieces literally
And it was in the rain /thunderstorm the rear wheels were slipping up the ramp so I gunned it and jumped it like the dukes of Hazzard lol. BTW it had a loader on it too
john dowe lmao hahaha!
Good stuff! Enjoyed video,also music.
Like the video Andrew and dint like that rodeo man was scare for you .and I notice your ramp as to be fix .
Andrew. Wow. You are awesome. Hi from CT. I Love NY. (The City; Nice to visit but I don't think I would want to live there.) As I am a motorcyclist, I have discovered that upstate NY is gorgeous.
when i saw the wall, terrain and house i thought, "finally we'll see if andrew can use a shuffle?" lol

Looks good as usual. Excellent job.
Now all the home owner need is a new roof (15:56)!
😂this guy is living the dream… wowza.
Good job
Looks great! That place needs a new roof!
good job
Andrew, Just a thought.If you could design a movable ramp to make it easier to load your dump truck. As you know if you have five people to do a job you will have five different ideas on how to complete the work. That is the nature of humans.They use to tell me before I retired do it your way you are going to do it your way anyway. As long as the job gets done I say feed them cold beans.
tidy work as usual, whoever built that wall built it solid.
Nice job
In my opinion, if the homeowners had the land, I think they should of pushed that wall further back into the hill. It's always nice to be able to drive around your house if you could.
They probably wanted to get around the building code of after 4 feet tall it needs to be engineered
I live in a rural setting similar to that. I have had the same retaining wall built and re-built that is 4 foot high in part. The building inspector never paid it any attention, even while on my property issuing permits for other matters. You are right, however, about the need to pay attention when building a retaining wall over 3 feet for higher. They become a different kind of animal.
One Video you said and I quote " I wish they had solid tires for my tractor those tires never last long.... OPS 9:55
espero ansiosamente pelos videos andrew !
Cutting it alittle close with the wide ramps of your tralier and the narrow wheelbase of your Ford. Its cool to see how the road has held up.
Came out well andrew, that tractor is a handy tool
I think the wall should have been a foot higher on the low left end, the bank behind it is very steep where you put dirt over the wall. My opinion. You did good Andrew
5:15 "So haters, suck it" LOL
Old school pride.
Хорошая работа.
You should quote them a price to lay gravel down to that oil tank. :) Thanks for sharing!
As you get more seat time on a box grader as some call it, you will see while working on slopes, turn around and push fill, tilt blade up from low side of slope, and self level yourself by filling in the void. This keep you from that flipping over feeling...work very well. Good work, work safe.
Andrew you do really good work man ! ;)
...do you plain on buying a mini roller ?
cool wall
Awesome man! To top it off you should carry a nice broom and landscape rake for when you have to do the handwork instead of a normal rake
