Again, these videos are almost like some sort of therapy to watch. Ingenious how you figured out the drainage problem by diverting the water instead of just plopping in another pipe! Keep 'em coming, Andrew.
I've just realised what makes Andrew's video's so relaxing to watch - he sets the music volume at speech level. Nearly every other RUclipsr racks theirs up so high that I have to lunge for the volume control. Just thought I'd post my appreciation for a small mercy.
@@bradleysmall2230 Yes its when the difference in volume between music and voices are so out of alignment that it makes people turn the volume up and down during the video that annoys people. . . we all know you can turn the volume down, lol
I like that you gave the homeowner what they needed instead of selling them a culvert they didn't need. Some contractors would have sold them the culvert just to make more money.
@@MrOly0001 yup, but those contractors would not tell you that. That's why I enjoy watching Andrew, He always tells the buyer what he thinks is right, and that there is more valuable than the pipe and the work itself!
Where he made the water drain to, I felt he should of made that area bigger, and put a base of stone there on top of some sort of underlayment. My guess is sediment will collect at the mouth of the drain pipe before long and he'll be out there dredging again.
My dad owns a few excavators and I drive them every weekend, but the mini is my favorite. they are awesome cause they are so small and easy to control after you get used to it
@@jeff7764 Negative way of looking at it Jeff. Mini Excavator work can be the most rewarding thing going. I dream about hitting the Farm on the weekends. Come on Man.
Right? How did they know I needed some Andrew Camarata action in my life. That mini excavator and Andrew's expert operation was a pleasure to watch. Oh, and good little doggy was icing on the cake.
LOTS of comments here about Andrew's work, his ethic, and the extra's he does that others will not.......(in my opinion) this is the result of how this fine person was raised. Spend time with your children. Yes, let them tear stuff up......but then show them the "correct" way to fix things....have pride in their work....make sure little details do not go overlooked. Andrew inspired me to take on a drainage issue I had this summer.......lots of hard work, and the results were great! I have said this before.....but Andrew needs his own diy show on ty......doing things "his" way. He is an inspiration to all that get the privilege to see him at work.....
This is the 2nd video by Andrew Camarata I've watched and I just want to say that he makes me want to get muddy. I want to "get-in-there" and restructure water flows that follow nature best and make bipedal, hairless Earthlings happy. Too old for that sort of thing now but, I enjoy watching his work.
Almost a million views Andrew! And to those reading this, Andrew has not once in any of his videos asked for people to "like, subscribe, or donate to his channel" With that being said, 253k subscribers is incredible! Keep up the good work Mr Camarata!
I stumbled onto your videos a week ago, and I watch them a lot -more than I’ve watched any other RUclips station. I must say, you are a genius at what you do, and multi-talented. You have a superb attitude as well! Very inspiring!
Probably the 20th time that I have watched this one. Sums up the best of Andrew, to me. He convinces the property owner that replacing the old pipe is not necessary, thus saving the owner some money. Also, problem is solved. I noticed that in this one, Levi acts like a small child, alway looking back to see that he is in Andrew's line of sight. Kids used to drive me crazy sitting right in front of our television to play, blocking our view. They wanted to be sure that their mom or dad was watching them. LOL. This is a great video. When Andrew has long lags between video releases, I always come back to this one, to pass time.
That was spectacular. You really have an eye for this and it shows. What a soggy mess it was and you've made it look like Mother Nature had it that way from the beginning. I sure hope the homeowner listens to you and lets you put down enough stone in the Spring.
Andrews voice cracking on "Levi and I are out heRe today..." reminds me of a guy in high school named George. He used to do it all the time. Andrew already appears ageless at around 34, but that voice cracking gives the impression that he is much younger. I am 64, so I could use some voice cracking myself, but I have trouble just pushing words out. LOL. Below, some have also noticed the cracking and that Levi did not waste any time getting all muddy. They even thought that it was sly how Levi looked back at the camera as if to say, "So what. I got muddy. Big deal." This is my current favorite Andrew video. It show how he actually solves a drainage problem by REMOVING a pipe, rather than selling and installing another, as those only thinking of profit would do. Now, one less pipe does the work of what two use to do. I know that I have watched this one at least 7 times, since I found it.
Holy heck, lol. Dude, my mind gets blown whenever I see a you tuber I'm subscribed to in here. First ChuckE9000 and now yourself. Keep living the dream.
Nice neat fix. Just give the water somewhere to go. Opening up the ditches really helped. Thanks Andrew for taking the time to put these videos together. 👍
I must say your videos looking at the machine doing the work is a WHOLE lot better than the other websites with the camera inside looking out of which I can't watch and when they put it in fast mode :( feel sick. Also I commend you on superb sound quality and setting up video angles.
Just found your channel. Thank you for posting these. My heart aches at how much I miss home and these videos allow me to at least see something like it. I live in the desert now and I hate it. Hope to come home soon. Thanks again.
I’m sure you get this a lot, but your videos are greatly appreciated. I’ve been working on stuff since I was a kid, probly like you, but I still learn something every video. I recently decided to get back into excavating, I bought a small excavator n dozer along with a Ford l8000, and watching your videos among other things helped motivate me to make that decision. Thanks for that.
Andrew is a motivator all right as I'm old, broken body and bank and I want to get back into business. It is a great piece of fantasy watching these videos.
I wish andrew still did jobs like this. His content is still good but this is what turned me onto his channel. Success has led him not to do property maintenance like this anymore.
I prefer to watch videos of him working on his own projects. The work is the same but watching him improve his properties and equipment is much more satisfying.
A man and his machines! You are very talented and knowledgeable. I bet you make some serious money and LOVE what you do. I worked for thirty years in the audio engineering arena and I'm STILL hand to mouth. Now with training and boarding dogs. Funny how life is. I would love to do what you do. At 64 though it doesn't look promising. Love your videos, Andy.
@@erwinvandeursen3916 -- Andrew had uploaded three videos in the last day, take a look at Andrew's video list. ruclips.net/channel/UCUujfNBK9uv3cIW-P5PX7vAvideos
Andrew you are a jewel in all the crap out here these days. Keep up the great work. It’s a pleasure just to watch someone make very easy work out of what is not easy to do. The only thing I can say is, YOU need a protege. I’m glad you’re putting all this knowledge to these great videos.
Everybody likes the videos but to appreciate the amount of work this actually takes is what's stunning. The guy just keeps going. Driven! And it's hard to find someone to be driven digging in mud and water in cold weather all day long. He doesn't have any workers?
In my opinion, this is the most definitive Andrew Camarata video. It is full of his common sense. He makes one culvert do the work of two. Actually saves his customer money, rather than telling his customer that he needs a replacement culvert. It has excavating, trees pushing over, chain sawing, scrap metal loading, time lapsed photography, mud and water for Levi, some snow on the ground, gravel spreading, Levi doggy duties, industrial wordless percussive music and aerial drone footage. It does not have the most views yet, but it is the one that you should recommend that anyone thinking of subscribing to his channel, watch first. He is around 34 years old, nearly half my age, but his voice peak in the word heRe makes he seem even younger. Ageless Andrew, new nickname. He get a lots of work out of this little excavator. I believe it is secretly his favorite piece of equipment. It must be great to be discovering him for the first time because with over 300 videos, you could watch a different one everyday, whether he came out with more new ones or not.
flosious Thank you! I was going to ask who plays this instrumental music! I really like the music when he starts to excavate, and yes, I like to watch videos like this because it’s cool and educational and I actually love doing yard work even though I have a gardener, I add my personal touch with plants and some landscaping too 😁😉🌳🌱🌸
@flosious Thank you so much for this. That song Andrew plays at the end of his vid, I love that song so much. Eden - ALBIS. If you’re ever in NZ I’ll shout you a beer. Cheers!
My first video on your channel and I'm already an addict. From what you're doing on that mini excavator. I can only imagine you operating the full sized excavators. Bad man on a machine 💪🏾✊🏾
This is real artistry here. You're sculpting the earth. This is a positive example of humankind's ability to manipulate our environment. And that drone shot at the end? Nice touch.
Great to see a business owner so capable and passionate about his work. Not everyone can manipulate that heavy equipment with such precision and speed. 👌
You've gained a sub from me! I don't know why I haven't found your channel sooner.. I used to do a lot of similar work to you here in the UK. I used to love being outside in all weathers. You live in a beautiful part of the world and I really enjoy watching you do your work - you have a great touch on the excavators. I can't believe how you manage to do all of the work and find time to edit these great videos. It's not surprising you have gained so many subs in such a short space of time?! Great work - here's to the next 100K subs! :)
Just saw your "Installing a new driveway" YT and this one. Thanks for sharing. I wondered if what I watched was largely a one-man show, other than when others could be seen? As a homeowner from suburban NJ & MD, your work seemed professional and awesome. You made it seem like so much fun! And, yes, your videographer work is also quite good, and the drone adds a very nice touch at the endings. Though I'm very happily retired, and never worked in construction, your two YTs made me wonder if I might enjoy getting some expert equipment tutelage, and return to work while having fun. Though never assigned as an Army truck driver or in the motor pool, I've driven all vehicles from jeep up to a 2 1/2 ton truck with a trailer. I'd really enjoy getting a job done properly while using a bobcat and backhoe as you did. Hmmmmmm!
There's something immensely satisfying about watching water being redirected like this. Basically the same fascination as digging canals on the beach around a sandcastle, except that it's a bit wetter, colder and will hopefully last beyond the tide coming in....
I actually never saw this one I only started watching you a year ago but I still watch videos from like 4 years ago by you fixing Lawn-mowers etc. so with that said thanks for the link
Looks like "Levi" is inspecting and giving his seal of approval too. lol. The results are looking pretty good and should last quite some time. I enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing.
You took such a great stance on how to make the land work better for your customer, your dog must have such an amazing life going job site to job site exploring
Aww dude, you used that music again (end of vid) I love that song, still can't find it though. Edit: Somg is called Row and it’s by Raden Siwa. Great vid, always amazes me how you're able to eyeball the gradient for good water flow, while you're digging.
I loved this video! Really satisfying to see all the water start to run and drain, and the culvert pipe removal was fun to watch! That little digger is so capable!
Dear Andrew, So I came across your video here and just wanted to say, I was very intrigued, and the video was great to watch from start to finish. When you go back to this property, to lay more gravel, I would love to see a follow up video of that as well, to see the driveway progression. Our driveway here is asphalt, but it has all kinds of dips in it and potholes. My brother patched 4 main holes, and at the end of our driveway, is this huge dip that I got stuck in during the bit of snow we had gotten a few weeks ago. Anyway, great video and I hope to see a follow up of this particular property. Thanks.
I enjoy watching how this guy is able to fix anything mechanical, good job! The terrain looks to be all around flat and then at the very end of the video he uses a drone and there is this huge mountain behind the house, I was shocked to see that :-)
Man you really know how to work that machine. Almost like its an extension of you. Great job. Many hours in that seat I would imagine to get this good.
Just subbed, i really enjoy watching problems being solved especially by honest people who care about more important things than just money and/or the bottom line.That little digger looks like it's had a hard working life but sure does the job.Good work!
Great video and love your dog, he looks fun! The old drainage pipe looks to have silted up because it was not installed to the right depth which meant traffic eventually caused it to collapse. I would have dug the roadside ditch a bit deeper to allow for silt and tree debris to build up before it filled the trench again after a few years. Then put a trench across where the old drain pipe was and dug that to 2ft deep minimum. Then installed a ribbed 9inch plastic drainage pipe topped with 1inch clean limestone/gravel across the road to a 3ft square soak away. Top dressing it as you did. No need to go off into the woods with a drainage pipe if you use a soak away.
He didn't want to pay for it, Laughable. When will people learn to fix it right no matter the cost and you wont have a issue again.....I can watch these videos nonstop, very addicting...thanks for sharing
I've just spent 20 minutes watching a man dig a drainage ditch...Why!?............probably the best watch of the day judging by some of the recommendations on YT
Enjoyed the video. I wish I had bought a mini excavator instead of a Compact NH with backhoe. I did the same thing through my woods to drain a low spot. In our Township they are not supposed to push water on the neighbors but it happens. My ditch filled with leaves and it became a annual event. I would use a shovel and rake to clean it out. I ended up taking a few years to put a pipe in with gravel on top to make a french drain. Water comes down the slope and drops into the pipe.
@@JohnAvantiBK Yeah i use it for a daily driver, i wouldnt recommend buying one unless you are mechanically skilled, so far after a few months of owning it, it had 2 misfires, first one was from a bad coil which took 5 minutes to diagnose and replace, and then that misfire went away, then a month later the fuel injector failed and the whole entire intake had to come off. But that is all that pretty much "stopped working" by its self, its been smooth sailing from there on out so far, and its been fun changing out all the fluids and doing an overhaul of maintenance.
@@urbanitesgarage3299 My out back had bad coils and missfireing. After I changed all the coils the car runs like new. I have 167k miles. My Lexus es350 at 130k miles never did anything but oil and regular ware parts.
I'm critical of your container castle, but after seeing your job, I can trust you so much more now. I guess alot of spiral staircases and metal buildings I've seen are over-engineered and are made for "massive" amounts of visitors.
Still one of my favorite videos to come back and watch, for some reason. I want a mini excavator for small projects like this
Yeah, go buy one.
@@AndrewCamarata I'm working to it. Have you had experience with the newer yanmars? I know you recommend them in a few of your videos
I have had good luck with the old Yanmars I have,

Yes good point. And cool but pleasant music. Feel good music. Suits the videos perfectly...
Yes! Great music volume control. Others need to learn this. Also the ones who use chain saws and other tools.
i have trouble with hearing some vids so alot of sound is good as you can at least turn down volume
@@bradleysmall2230
Yes its when the difference in volume between music and voices are so out of alignment that it makes people turn the volume up and down during the video that annoys people. . . we all know you can turn the volume down, lol
Audio normalization is a skill not many RUclipsrs obtain even after learning After Effects.
This is a great video. It demonstrates Andrew's keen eye for hydrology and the time lapse makes plain the effect of his solution. Good work.
Mr Andrew very good worker
I like that you gave the homeowner what they needed instead of selling them a culvert they didn't need. Some contractors would have sold them the culvert just to make more money.
it wou'nt of worked any way
@@MrOly0001 yup, but those contractors would not tell you that. That's why I enjoy watching Andrew, He always tells the buyer what he thinks is right, and that there is more valuable than the pipe and the work itself!
Agreed! Andrew didn't just do what the customer thought he wanted. He came up with a very reasonable alternative. way to go Andrew!
I bet his solution was more expensive more digging but it's the correct t solution
Where he made the water drain to, I felt he should of made that area bigger, and put a base of stone there on top of some sort of underlayment. My guess is sediment will collect at the mouth of the drain pipe before long and he'll be out there dredging again.
I love how you clean up as you go, show someone who takes pride in their work!
I need a mini excavator now. This looks like incredibly rewarding work.
Hahaha yeah i want one too now. I dont have a garden but i dont care
I decided that myself. Took me a while to figure out why I needed it. The spousal unit will never agree though.
My dad owns a few excavators and I drive them every weekend, but the mini is my favorite. they are awesome cause they are so small and easy to control after you get used to it
It isn’t... please believe that. This crap is highly edited and not reality. These are Mickey Mouse jobs

Have to say that for once YT recommended something good
Yes you're right. What state it is where Andrew works?
@@rafaelRZE Upstate NY
There's something immensely satisfying about watching water being redirected like this. Basically the same fascination as digging canals on the beach around a sandcastle, except that it's a bit wetter, colder and will hopefully last beyond the tide coming in....
11:12 robo-dinosaur picks giant metal worm from earth
its even better if you watch it at 2x speed
I actually never saw this one I only started watching you a year ago but I still watch videos from like 4 years ago by you fixing Lawn-mowers etc. so with that said thanks for the link
Nice work man smart thinking on putting all into one pipe nice job
Looks like "Levi" is inspecting and giving his seal of approval too. lol. The results are looking pretty good and should last quite some time. I enjoyed the video, thanks for sharing.
U use that machine like an extension of your arms!!! NICE WORK!!
You took such a great stance on how to make the land work better for your customer, your dog must have such an amazing life going job site to job site exploring
The break/squeak in your voice during the intro, is adorable
Nice job, Andrew. Much more logical use of the natural lay of the land for drainage. Nice consistency in the spread of your gravel load.
I feel like the phrase "everyone needs a mini excavator" applies to this situation.
not needs buts wants
Nice honest customer friendly solution. Shows excellent understanding of the problem.
Aww dude, you used that music again (end of vid) I love that song, still can't find it though.
Edit: Somg is called Row and it’s by Raden Siwa.
Great vid, always amazes me how you're able to eyeball the gradient for good water flow, while you're digging.
I loved this video! Really satisfying to see all the water start to run and drain, and the culvert pipe removal was fun to watch! That little digger is so capable!
Great videos keep up the hard work 👍👍
Dear Andrew,
So I came across your video here and just wanted to say, I was very intrigued, and the video was great to watch from start to finish. When you go back to this property, to lay more gravel, I would love to see a follow up video of that as well, to see the driveway progression. Our driveway here is asphalt, but it has all kinds of dips in it and potholes. My brother patched 4 main holes, and at the end of our driveway, is this huge dip that I got stuck in during the bit of snow we had gotten a few weeks ago. Anyway, great video and I hope to see a follow up of this particular property. Thanks.
You not worried about that polar bear roaming the place?
That could be a serious issue.
@@dave_bed Indeed.
@@kevinchamberlain7928 I sure hope he has planned in case of that very probable issue
I can’t Wait for someone to say “it’s a dog not a polar bear” lmao
ImAnAttackHelicopter it’s a dog not a polar bear ... lmao
Andrew thank you for your videos, My son and I watch them and learn a lot from you! Love to meet your dad!
Not sure why it is in my recomended but I watched whole thing with cup of coffee :D Nice job
I enjoy watching how this guy is able to fix anything mechanical, good job! The terrain looks to be all around flat and then at the very end of the video he uses a drone and there is this huge mountain behind the house, I was shocked to see that :-)
Very cool job, thank you for sharing your story. God bless you and your family
That was surprisingly interesting and enjoyable to watch. You did a good job all around, with both the videomanship and the actual job work.
Pretty sure you could do hand surgery with an excavator. Incredible skill and such respect for your clients. Bravo.
My favorite video by AC! I can watch it over and over! Thanks AC. You're awesome!
the excavator is such a dope invention
Man you really know how to work that machine. Almost like its an extension of you. Great job. Many hours in that seat I would imagine to get this good.
Ok so... RUclips recommends this month's later. So now I'm watching a man dig a trench at 3am in the morning... sigh...fml.
Don't worry, he's got lots of videos. Most of them are better than this one, if you can believe it.
@@henryD9363 LOL 😂😂😂😂
Is that a komatsu?
He's unclogging a trench
Makes you want to go drive an excavator doesn’t it?
Just subbed, i really enjoy watching problems being solved especially by honest people who care about more important things than just money and/or the bottom line.That little digger looks like it's had a hard working life but sure does the job.Good work!
How is the camera so smooth? Is it on a stabiliser?
@bailey125 camera is on a drone, you can see it at the end.
Thank you Andrew for all the time you spend making videos. You're awesome!
Busy Busy Busy.....plenty of work Andrew, always busy ...good...
The aerial footage at the end is very nice. You're a very talented guy !
Th voice crack right at the start xD love you man. Keep it up!
Love the video, the music, and the way you explain your work. That little backhoe is strong AF!
Молодчина Андрюша! Уважаю ТЕБЯ!
Google Translate: "Well done Andryusha! I respect you!"
Great video and love your dog, he looks fun!
The old drainage pipe looks to have silted up because it was not installed to the right depth which meant traffic eventually caused it to collapse. I would have dug the roadside ditch a bit deeper to allow for silt and tree debris to build up before it filled the trench again after a few years. Then put a trench across where the old drain pipe was and dug that to 2ft deep minimum. Then installed a ribbed 9inch plastic drainage pipe topped with 1inch clean limestone/gravel across the road to a 3ft square soak away. Top dressing it as you did. No need to go off into the woods with a drainage pipe if you use a soak away.
He didn't want to pay for it, Laughable. When will people learn to fix it right no matter the cost and you wont have a issue again.....I can watch these videos nonstop, very addicting...thanks for sharing
I've just spent 20 minutes watching a man dig a drainage ditch...Why!?............probably the best watch of the day judging by some of the recommendations on YT
I'm watching this man literally build a river. it's amazing
Dude knows how to work that mini. I've seen plenty that thought they could, but Andrew works magic.
You should put a list of your sound tracks. The songs are really catchy.
JOb well done Andrew, I'd just love to see a update in a couple of months. BTW job well done on the video and the drainage!
Yeah, I want to do a video next year where I go back and visit a ton of jobs in one video to show how things are working.
Great skills man
Enjoyed the video. I wish I had bought a mini excavator instead of a Compact NH with backhoe. I did the same thing through my woods to drain a low spot. In our Township they are not supposed to push water on the neighbors but it happens. My ditch filled with leaves and it became a annual event. I would use a shovel and rake to clean it out. I ended up taking a few years to put a pipe in with gravel on top to make a french drain. Water comes down the slope and drops into the pipe.
congrats on the 250k miles on the 4runner, mine has 235k and its a 96'
I was going to get a 4 runner but got a Subaru Outback better ride, fuel economy, comfort and can run circles around the 4 runner.
@@JohnAvantiBK Yeah my 4runner has horrible fuel econ. with the 3.4l v6 and 4wd i get about 12 mph when i drive like a grandma.
@@urbanitesgarage3299 I do like the 4 Runner but it's hard on the wallet for a daily driver.
@@JohnAvantiBK Yeah i use it for a daily driver, i wouldnt recommend buying one unless you are mechanically skilled, so far after a few months of owning it, it had 2 misfires, first one was from a bad coil which took 5 minutes to diagnose and replace, and then that misfire went away, then a month later the fuel injector failed and the whole entire intake had to come off. But that is all that pretty much "stopped working" by its self, its been smooth sailing from there on out so far, and its been fun changing out all the fluids and doing an overhaul of maintenance.
@@urbanitesgarage3299 My out back had bad coils and missfireing. After I changed all the coils the car runs like new. I have 167k miles. My Lexus es350 at 130k miles never did anything but oil and regular ware parts.
I'm critical of your container castle, but after seeing your job, I can trust you so much more now. I guess alot of spiral staircases and metal buildings I've seen are over-engineered and are made for "massive" amounts of visitors.
*picks up tree and rolls away*
12:42 AM, can’t sleep and enjoying another one of Andrew’s videos......until the music begins. Can we just hear the natural sounds involved.
he only uses music for time-lapses, if u didn't have music it would either be silent or it would sound like Alvin and the chipmunks up in here
