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.
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.
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.
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.
I've watched Andrew Camarata's channel for a few years, but it has blown up over the last month and especially from the last 3 uploads, his no nonsense hard work ethic and fix-it ingenuity, for used affordable equipment, as well as time lapsed videos, makes this channel an interesting joy to watch. Also Levi is still the star of the channel 😎🇺🇸
The TH-cam algorithms kept suggesting the jet ski videos to me, and after ignoring them for about a month I finally watched them and loved it, binge watched the back catalog and here we are. I think there were 80k subscribers then? The more we watch the more he must get in others suggested videos. The shipping container castle videos are great too, and I gotta see if I can still get a shirt.
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!
i think in my opinion he should devide it into several videos ....so we could watch him every day .and keep up with him ...and of course he could make match more number of viewers and money from youtube .
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@AndrewCamarata too right and we thank you for it. I for one love your videos and I hope you are being paid well in order to compensate you for the time you spend to educate and entertain us. Keep it up! From the UK! Ignore the small minded, they are narrow visioned.
@@AndrewCamarata Don't forget to add motivate and inspire to that list as well. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos and its impressive to see what one guy can do.
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.
Andrew you are the master when it comes to runnin any type of excavation equipment. You can run anything and you run it with authority. I'm jealous ! LoL
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.
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)..
I love these big jobs and long video’s! I love all your great content!! I love your personality!!! And most of all I love You and Levi!!!!!!! Thank you for all you do Andrew, stay safe and stay awesome
@@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. :)
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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 !
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!👍
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.
Great video with the whole job done. Glad to see the bridge and drive way you build last year were working well. Looking forward to future videos as the site is developed.
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
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.
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.
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!
I have multiple drills so I dont have to change bits, Andrew has multiple excavators so he doesnt have to change attachments😲. When I used to drive volumetric mixers we would backfill these types of jobs occasionally with a sand/cement slurry and dye it red. Keep up the good work!
When I was in city public works we had so many failed utility trenches that we began requiring slurry trench backfill, it was called "flowable fill" in our area. Like the dye idea, red for power, maybe blue for domestic water, no color or black for sanitary.
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.
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 !
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.
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.
...I get involved in projects like this => because "I am all thumbs" thank goodness there are guys out there like Andrew Camarata. :) The biggest challenge is sizing the conduit and getting a budgetary cost estimate ahead of time . The other is working with the local utility in the connection to the utility grid.
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!
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.

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.
That's a beautiful piece of property. I love the winding driveway, the trees, the stream and the bridge. Pretty place.
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.
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!
Much love and respect from Wheeling Illinois
I enjoy watching your videos and I admire your work ethic’s there’s not too many of you guys left
One man digging machine that’s Andrew!!For Sure!!
Who knew this would be a therapeutic video?
Earth : " I will throw boulders, stone, bed rock and water at you"
AC : "I have a tool for that"
GREAT TUNES!!!! 😎
Reminders me of circa year 2000 and before in random clubs in London!
Haha happy days!
Keep up the great work

Again, excellent ... thanks for sharing your projects with us!
Took the day off work today, had an Andrew marathon! What a blast! Always fun to watch.
I have multiple drills so I dont have to change bits, Andrew has multiple excavators so he doesnt have to change attachments😲. When I used to drive volumetric mixers we would backfill these types of jobs occasionally with a sand/cement slurry and dye it red. Keep up the good work!
When I was in city public works we had so many failed utility trenches that we began requiring slurry trench backfill, it was called "flowable fill" in our area. Like the dye idea, red for power, maybe blue for domestic water, no color or black for sanitary.
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.
Good Job Andrew,bles you,from Guayaquil-Ecuador-Sud America
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 !
Somehow these video's sometimes make me sad......
I get the feeling that you sometimes do more in 1 week than I do in a whole year.....
Nice! Fun to see how things are getting done in real life in another countries. Nice channel by the way👍
Andrew you are amazing I just can't figur you out thenk you for the show
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.
Good job and high five young man. I really enjoy your videos and thanks for sharing your story with us.
Love the bucket to lay in the warning tape, brilliant planning.
Thanks for sharing and best regards from the UK.
Your tenacity is second too none andrew
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
Andrew, I am so impressed with all of your knowledge. What an incredible craftsman you are. Well done, young man.
Hey Andrew I just ran across your channel last week I’m really impressed with the work you do
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.
Conscientious, considerate, quality work. Bless you Andrew.
Awesome work! I start watching your channel when you were installing this bridge.
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.
LEVI Killed it this Video. Andrew did a fantastic job also.
...I get involved in projects like this => because "I am all thumbs" thank goodness there are guys out there like Andrew Camarata. :) The biggest challenge is sizing the conduit and getting a budgetary cost estimate ahead of time . The other is working with the local utility in the connection to the utility grid.
no jack stands, instareel, or pulling eyes needed for Andrew- he makes do with whatever he has and is innovative with solutions- great job!
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.
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 said the same to myself
Love to see you cracking those hard rocks Andrew. And to see Levi doing the survey as usual. Great video
I see why its important to grease your machines...
That's a big job...
Epic awesome and way cool, you do awesome work.
ROFL! That poor guy being tossed around and getting yelled at :P Like watching a slapstick comedy.
Great video!
in every moment, in every second - great good job! Gratulations :-)
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.
Awesome videos Andrew. God bless you!
