I recognize that even without TH-cam Andrew would still be successful. He works hard and puts in the hours it takes to be your own boss. Very few people have the grit and dedication that takes day in and day out. And even with his success he’s still the type of guy if he saw something on the side of the road he knows he could sell for $50 on Marketplace he’ll stop and get it.
I love the fact that every single one of Andrew’s vids are just pure content, no adverts, no sponsors, no showing off, just a man and his machines, oh and Blue and Cody!
I literally got an advert when i clicked on the video lol Edit 5:50 in i got another advert, you might be paying for the ad free youtube and not knowing
Great video Andrew, watched with ads, you do a great job, very entertaining content you must have done this over a long period as blue was so small at the beginning
@@DaVinci740 Those advertisements you are seeing have nothing to do with Andrew's Channel. You are seeing those because you don't have TH-cam premium. What he is saying is that Andrew is not advertising a product like merchandise or car parts.
This man has got to be one of the hardest workers there is. He just loves to work. And there's just something about watching him work. It keeps pulling back, and I'm loving all the videos he's putting out here lately! He reminds me of a guy I worked for some years ago who was in his late sixties at the time. He built his first home for himself at the age of 21. He could build anything. Andrew is like him. He gets one project done, and then he looks for the next one. RIP Gene.

I had noticed Andrew hadn't had many videos made around the castle. I suspected he was doing something. I think he likes to show an entire project on his videos and often has shots of what it looks like well after it is completed. Andrew was the first TH-camr I saw that used a drone to record a lot of video, including the epic intro and exit videos that many now use.
Yes, when drones first made their start it was seen as a fad to have a shot with a drone but, Andrew uses his very effectively to show off what he's doing and not just *boom* drone shot.
You have to admit that Andrew is a class act in his method madness and work ethic. He never edits out and will always show the mishaps and mistakes that we all will endure as we try to complete any tasks at hand. His great channel is always real and never sugar coated with scripted drama or clickbait.

I have been a loyal follower of Andrew's for over 5 yrs now, ever since my husband showed me ONE video of his over 5 yrs ago and I just stcuk with it, and also started following others in his field, and across the country as well. Andrew has never dissappointed me in either content or in the work he does filming and editing his videos, they are all awesome and he just gets better. THIS build I have been waiting for for a bit over two yrs now, since he first stated in a former video that he was planning on doing this and then got sidetracked with blowing up mountians, building roads, buying other property, [ which I am so happy he did cause he garentees him more privacy and more open to doing anything with his equiptment at ANY time of the day or night without others close by to complain , so great move there ] But this build I thought would never be completed, and NOW looks like Andrew is back on track and this will finally come true.

He wouldn't be doing it without the TH-cam money. When he started his channel he used to actually do real work at peoples houses/property and get paid for it.. Now days he just fucks around his own property and buying shit he dont need.
buying shit he dont need , chill man ! he love it . he can buy it . i hate that stupid mentality of you need to get $$$$ from it to buy it LOL you jealous ? yes he have all that stuff and dont do alot of work for other people ...? Who care ? Only you bud ! sorry . @@k1leon
@@k1leonI want to say Andrew ran into the problem of some people not wanting to be filmed or have their property filmed. As for the stuff he doesn't need, I would say he doesn't exactly have a plan for said vehicle just yet.
@@HARRYAZZHOLE yea that's what I'm going with. While you can make money with TH-cam it doesn't really cover cost of heavy equipment. So to say he makes money ONLY from TH-cam is quite dumb.
Andrew each year when I go to our local fair, I always attend the truck and tractor pulls, and I will tell you this one can really tell who keeps their tractors under roof and who keeps theirs outside. The weather really takes a toll on equipment, paint, hoses I guess you may as well say the whole machine. And I see this as a money loss no way around it. Good job here loved the video.
MAJOR upgrade! Finally a real detached, enclosed barn. This is one of the most awesome things since the castle build. Huge level up. Can't wait to see the walls.
Hey Andrew, I've been hooked to your videos since the culvert days, and I have to say they just get better and better! I know it takes a lot of time with camera placement, angles, drone shots, and hours of editing, which is noticed and appreciated. I'm surprised you don't have a walk behind leaf blower with all of that land.
For pressuring the fuel tank. Use the rubber part of a plunger, bore a hole through the center of the plunger, glue a tire valve in the hole. Wait for the glue to set. Next time you want to blow air through the tank, use a regular air chuck. I made one for unblocking floor drains
There's hand pumps you can buy that retrofit into the original fuel filler hole. In normal operation, you can pressurize and depressurize the tank with a valve and whenever you want to fuel the tank you twist the whole assembly like you'd twist a fuel cap. Caveat: at least on the unit i saw (rented dozer) the filter mesh was missing, and i had to use a mesh from another unit. It's possible that it came with one, but i'm not sure. Rented stuff abides by the "use it like you stole it",... so yeah. The thing looked really pro. Like heavy duty stampings, not the cheap sh!t you'd buy from the usual suspects. Might even be an official Hitachi item.
damn mans is uploading at a crazy rate. WE LOVE IT! thanks alot man, you know if you ever see this you gave me the inspiration and great knowledge a few years back to tear down some old buildings in a mini excavator. from watching your vids i was able to get the proper know how by just watching you work on your equipment. thanks alot for uploading content.
As you can probably tell, this is not a recent vid. AC likes to archive his vids and release them later on when his subscriber count is higher and he can make more money.
We are all trying to leave our mark of our existence on the world we live in . Andrew Camarata’s videos has left a documented mark of his existence along with a mountain top castle . All I can do is admire his raw talent to overcome and push forward like a bulldozer theu life He does what they did in the beginning of this beautiful country. Well done sir 😎🍺 WOW !
I can imagine Andrew with two mountain castles built at age 90 driving a tractor up another mountain with his dogs explaining his next project to another generation… 🍺
New or old footage, Andrew has been putting in some major editing time. The guy is busy one way or another. It’s pretty easy to put an AC video on the tv and watch it like a regular feature length show and the kids love it!
incredible project. i was wondering if the "Castle" was being neglected due to the focus on the 'west mountain' but was pleasantly surprised to see renewed focus on the home base. it feels like home base with the home and the past history. great job.
Looking good Andrew I think I’ve watched you build this place from when you first put the first containers up and I gotta say you’re doing one hell of a job. It looks fantastic and I’m glad you keep us informed and I remember when I had your in now I’m retired, good luck with the rest of your project will continue to follow
I could feel the anxiety in Andy when that much concrete was dumped out and a lot of work needed to be done all at once. Had great help but could have used a couple more pair of hands that really understood what needed to be done.. quickly. Good job in the end. Know your helpers were very tired at the end of the day.
That was a simple pour but a big pour. I'm not gonna bash someone learning what to do with concrete, especially when it's learned under the pressure of an actual pour and the clock is ticking for it to go off. He needed at least one more hand that was experienced.
The attachment on the skid steer is quite impressive. Moving all those big rocks around quite effortlessly. Your ambition is the whole reason I watch you. So tired of people who expect someone else to do the job when they can do it themselves.
And to think it all started on a small blue Ford tractor. Thank you for the many years of sharing your adventures with us. Give those pups some head scratches for me from here in Western Kentucky.
I love how this channel always delivers as promised. Just started the video but I know I am going to see some stuff get moved and some concrete get poured. And I will be entertained.
Thank you verry much for your channel. You show us all the things that are possible with a "can do" attitude. Your canine friends are a wonderful addition and are really special. Keep up what you are doing as we will be looking for it with great anticipation. All the very best to you and your family.
Hello, The amount of time and effort Andrew puts into editing is amazing. Always a great video. Who said time travel isn’t possible when blue was a baby again. Watching these adventures makes you appreciate his hard work. Ty for being one of the top 5 YT channels.
Dont know if it will be ever as straight as it was......just a wee bit more dove tail......looked a little far forward and to much tongue weight.....bet he had fun going down the mountain.....may have cost the guy some britches or at least a pair of underwear😁
Excellent. Andrew works for 3 seasons and records videos. In winter, he edits and broadcasts videos one after the other. Your method is great. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Love your content. Live in NC now, but born in NY family moved from Hurley long time a go I was very young. Still have lots of family in Kingston and surrounding areas. Love visiting Hudson valley among most scenic in US.. keep up good work..Love your puppies..
I Have heard that the front end on the new Bronco's is trash. It doesn't have the balls to off road but then again for most, off roading is a trip to Wegman's in the rain.
One of the best things about Andrew is no matter what he is doing, he will always take time to play with Cody and Blue, even if hje is having a tough day, he shows those dogs unconditional love..Kuddos to you brother..
That’s a whole lot of concrete for 3 individuals to pour, but you all got the job done and it looks great. I’m always amazed how you can make that equipment look like an extension of your self and that it does exactly what is needed to get the job done. Looking forward to seeing the rest of that massive garage built.
Wow, watching a junk clear-out is very therapeutic! The way Andrew films things, it feels like one is doing it oneself, whether work or play. Great channel!
This is the time you realize you really need another all in one outside storage rack. For all your attachments, parts and materials. GJ Andrew on the first one👍👍
Anyone else remembers what machines Andrew started out with then when he showed them all in the background he has really worked hard for everything he has achieved good on him he deserves it. 😀👍
Andrew, Thanks for a great build video. Got to see a couple sales and some of your equipment sales and OLD footage of Baby Blue!! Looking forward to the posts, walls and doors video! Thanks again!
56:35 Just for the guys not up with the latest, the PINK re-bar is Owen-Corning Pink Fiberglass re-Enfocnig rod! :) It's lighter. stronger AND cheaper than steel, and never rusts!
That's new to me and super interesting. Grady on Practical Engineering should put out a video about it. He has covered enough disasters where rusting rebar has cause concrete to crack and bloody great buildings and bridges to fail.
I have fiberglass rods laid in my shop’s floor. My contractor probably thought I was going to berate him when I spotted them and said something. Nope, I was happy. No spalling. I was kind of shocked to see them as folks in my area aren’t the speediest to change approaches and I forgot to ask for them.
Very enjoyable; I look forward to seeing the next phase. Thanks for doing such a great job telling the story with thoughtful camera setups and editing. Very well done.
Looks great Andrew, thanks for sharing brother! Kirk from Louisiana sending prayers and good vibes to you, your boys and your family! Stay safe,warm and healthy throughout the winter my friend! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I have watched Andrew from his very earliest videos. He has become a true videoaugrapher the editing is super seamless and music selection is always spot on. This is why his channel will keep on going. I just enjoy the content and the dogs are just the cherry on top.
All this is so cool, the man always finds a solution, the problem with people like Andy is the more hypnotic videos they put out on YT the less "I" get done.
Watched some old vids of 4 years back this guy has done more work than most people do in a lifetime, i remember you saying you would close that shed in a while ago cheers from OZ.
They’ll never understand that we don’t enjoy drama in shows (they’re so convinced that they manufacture it.) We just want to watch something broken get fixed, or a slab become a shop, or trees become lumber…
Definitely labour intentsive work and time consuming but rewarding for sure, anticipating the shop building process as well, good job Andrew and crew. Halifax Nova Scotia Canada
That was fun seeing that little bobcat type machine with the claw. I was amazed how it could pick up those heavy rocks, and how versatile that claw is. Great work!
Andrew another awesome video , I really enjoy your work ethics, you're an extremely hard worker . I don't know anyone that would tackle that much concrete ! I am looking forward to seeing the construction video ..
A forklift with pheunamitic tires is what's needed to run around in the gravel with. Same size forklift or a little bit bigger than that one but with pheunamitic tires and there won't be a problem on the gravel or dirt and would still be fine on concrete ofcourse. Those solid wheels are great for inside on smooth concrete but nothing else. I'm sure Mr. Andrew knows this. It would definitely be useful for him to have one I think, especially there at the shop/castle. 👍
Nice work! Closing in the garage will keep it a lot cleaner and out of the wind will also be nice. Looking forward to the rest of the project. Thanks for taking the extra time to record it all. You do a great job editing too, by the way!
It may be out of the wind but something I've never heard or noticed before is where or what is heating the castle (now also garage).... Never saw or recall him talking about any heat etc... Amazing !! Andrew nice work !!
Imagine how far he has come in 5 years with his videos. Even his first few videos were professional looking. I loved the building and welding of his lodge the most. He has wore three men out so far looking for a fourth. Strong kid and what an imagination?
Andrew, I didn’t realize how much I missed you and your videos until I started watching this one. Thank you for sharing your life and projects with us for so many years!
I think you had trouble with the gas-powered screeding tool because the concrete was a little wet. Working concrete is really an art that takes time to learn and master. I'm surprised you didn't use Expansion Joints but hey more power to you for accepting the challenge. Everything starts with a thought and only takes effort to start and finish add tips to you and yours Andrew and of course may you all be abundantly blessed
Thanks, yeah, you’re probably right, I think the board was better anyway for that. Next time, I have to do a floor like that I will probably get a power trowel, and try that, I’ve never used one before.
@@AndrewCamarata 100% need to power trowel these slabs. I love everything you do EXCEPT your slab work. I still say you would benefit so much with the finishing side of your concrete work if you spent a week or so with a good concrete crew.
I think myself and 95% of the people watching Andrew is both jealous and admiring him at the same time! This is the perfect life! 👌 a while ago in a video he was talking about doing this with the garage so I was so excited to see he started it 😎
I like that he’s consolidating his equipment!!! Newer more useful machinery is far better than a TON of mediocre stuff that one only rarely uses 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
you would think a 96 minute video about pouring concrete slabs would be boring to watch. Under normal circumstances you'd be correct, however Andrew Camarata makes it very entertaining. You never know exactly what he's doing, but it happens in a way that you'd never think of and to of an outcome totally unexpected. I bewildered at the fact that this channel doesn't have more than 5 million subscribers. I have watched every and enjoyed every video since the wood heated hot tub video.
With the concerete planing device thing it's really cool to see how easy Andrew makes some of these things look. Until you explained you need to twist the handle to make it switch I just assumed it did that automatically by the direction of the friction.
andrew channel and scotty kilmer are the best channels on youtube that i watch.. blue was a cute puppy, now all grown up! i cannot thank of anything that andrew cannot do.. his work is always on time. keep up with the awesome videos sir!
I’m gonna check out Scotty Kilmer. Dumpster Dave and Jesse mueller are definitely of the same ilk. Guy in Pennsylvania channel nononsenseknowhow or something like that-his name is Chris. These guys all know each other. All exceptional mechanics, welders, etc.

buying shit he dont need , chill man ! he love it . he can buy it . i hate that stupid mentality of you need to get $$$$ from it to buy it LOL you jealous ? yes he have all that stuff and dont do alot of work for other people ...? Who care ? Only you bud ! sorry . @@k1leon
@@k1leonI want to say Andrew ran into the problem of some people not wanting to be filmed or have their property filmed. As for the stuff he doesn't need, I would say he doesn't exactly have a plan for said vehicle just yet.
@@HARRYAZZHOLE yea that's what I'm going with. While you can make money with TH-cam it doesn't really cover cost of heavy equipment. So to say he makes money ONLY from TH-cam is quite dumb.
Building a garage is one of the best ideas in recent times. It would be a shame for the machines to stand outside in all weathers and break down
But then we've got stuff to fix... lol
I'm not to sure of many places that can keep their equipment stored indoors,especially the amount Andrew has
@@edlippjr theres always gonna be stuff to fix with dumpster dave driving in front of ya xD
@jimmyglifi634, it really doesn't matter inside or out, other than chrome rams. It's called proper maintenance, which is NOT done. ⬅️ PERIOD‼️
Have you seen his machines? They're used to being left outside lol.
Andrew each year when I go to our local fair, I always attend the truck and tractor pulls, and I will tell you this one can really tell who keeps their tractors under roof and who keeps theirs outside. The weather really takes a toll on equipment, paint, hoses I guess you may as well say the whole machine. And I see this as a money loss no way around it. Good job here loved the video.
MAJOR upgrade! Finally a real detached, enclosed barn. This is one of the most awesome things since the castle build. Huge level up.
Can't wait to see the walls.
Hey Andrew, I've been hooked to your videos since the culvert days, and I have to say they just get better and better! I know it takes a lot of time with camera placement, angles, drone shots, and hours of editing, which is noticed and appreciated. I'm surprised you don't have a walk behind leaf blower with all of that land.
For pressuring the fuel tank. Use the rubber part of a plunger, bore a hole through the center of the plunger, glue a tire valve in the hole. Wait for the glue to set. Next time you want to blow air through the tank, use a regular air chuck. I made one for unblocking floor drains
There's hand pumps you can buy that retrofit into the original fuel filler hole. In normal operation, you can pressurize and depressurize the tank with a valve and whenever you want to fuel the tank you twist the whole assembly like you'd twist a fuel cap. Caveat: at least on the unit i saw (rented dozer) the filter mesh was missing, and i had to use a mesh from another unit. It's possible that it came with one, but i'm not sure. Rented stuff abides by the "use it like you stole it",... so yeah. The thing looked really pro. Like heavy duty stampings, not the cheap sh!t you'd buy from the usual suspects. Might even be an official Hitachi item.
you can buy air blowers with tapered rubber plugs of various sizes
damn mans is uploading at a crazy rate. WE LOVE IT! thanks alot man, you know if you ever see this you gave me the inspiration and great knowledge a few years back to tear down some old buildings in a mini excavator. from watching your vids i was able to get the proper know how by just watching you work on your equipment. thanks alot for uploading content.
As you can probably tell, this is not a recent vid. AC likes to archive his vids and release them later on when his subscriber count is higher and he can make more money.
@@JA-yg7nc Are you a paid troll every post you've left on a A C video has been Nasty one .
@@JA-yg7nc Or he was working on another mountain top and had no time
Each of your videos is not just entertaining but a learning experience too. Thanks for sharing Andrew 👍🇨🇦 .
It's just amazing to see your hard work, imagination and using the lands resources come to fruition. Great job!
We are all trying to leave our mark of our existence on the world we live in .
Andrew Camarata’s videos has left a documented mark of his existence along with a mountain top castle .
All I can do is admire his raw talent to overcome and push forward like a bulldozer theu life
He does what they did in the beginning of this beautiful country.
Well done sir
😎🍺
WOW !
Soon to be 2 Mountain Castles!
I can imagine Andrew with two mountain castles built at age 90 driving a tractor up another mountain with his dogs explaining his next project to another generation…
🍺
New or old footage, Andrew has been putting in some major editing time. The guy is busy one way or another. It’s pretty easy to put an AC video on the tv and watch it like a regular feature length show and the kids love it!
Can you imagine the TB of video footage he has and the sorting of that data into clips, to be stitched back together into these monster videos..
incredible project. i was wondering if the "Castle" was being neglected due to the focus on the 'west mountain' but was pleasantly surprised to see renewed focus on the home base. it feels like home base with the home and the past history. great job.
Looking good Andrew I think I’ve watched you build this place from when you first put the first containers up and I gotta say you’re doing one hell of a job. It looks fantastic and I’m glad you keep us informed and I remember when I had your in now I’m retired, good luck with the rest of your project will continue to follow
I love when Andrew time travels back to when Blue was a puppy
I could feel the anxiety in Andy when that much concrete was dumped out and a lot of work needed to be done all at once. Had great help but could have used a couple more pair of hands that really understood what needed to be done.. quickly. Good job in the end.
Know your helpers were very tired at the end of the day.
That was a simple pour but a big pour. I'm not gonna bash someone learning what to do with concrete, especially when it's learned under the pressure of an actual pour and the clock is ticking for it to go off. He needed at least one more hand that was experienced.
Can't wait to see the next garage episode! Awesome 90 minutes of my life watching this... AC never disappoints...
Andrew you are incredible, you have the ability to make everything look easy and one hell of an instructor, you sir are by far a human machine.
The attachment on the skid steer is quite impressive. Moving all those big rocks around quite effortlessly. Your ambition is the whole reason I watch you. So tired of people who expect someone else to do the job when they can do it themselves.
And to think it all started on a small blue Ford tractor. Thank you for the many years of sharing your adventures with us. Give those pups some head scratches for me from here in Western Kentucky.
I know you have been talking about this project for years now,
so good on you for starting it now. Great video!!
I love how this channel always delivers as promised. Just started the video but I know I am going to see some stuff get moved and some concrete get poured. And I will be entertained.
I have been watching Andrew for years, what an amazing young man.
Thank you verry much for your channel. You show us all the things that are possible with a "can do" attitude. Your canine friends are a wonderful addition and are really special. Keep up what you are doing as we will be looking for it with great anticipation. All the very best to you and your family.
Hello, The amount of time and effort Andrew puts into editing is amazing. Always a great video. Who said time travel isn’t possible when blue was a baby again. Watching these adventures makes you appreciate his hard work. Ty for being one of the top 5 YT channels.
Absolutely loving it!!!! So many memories from us old guys... thankyou thankyou
That aluminum trailer really flexed a lot. Wow.
Well you arent supposed to do that to it lmao
Dont know if it will be ever as straight as it was......just a wee bit more dove tail......looked a little far forward and to much tongue weight.....bet he had fun going down the mountain.....may have cost the guy some britches or at least a pair of underwear😁
Didn’t help it got a whack just before too.
It’s a tilt bed or a break back like some boat trailers. No way it should to that unintentional
We appreciate all your videos. They inspire all of us to get off our duffs, get outdoors and get something done.
Excellent. Andrew works for 3 seasons and records videos. In winter, he edits and broadcasts videos one after the other. Your method is great. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Love your content. Live in NC now, but born in NY family moved from Hurley long time a go I was very young. Still have lots of family in Kingston and surrounding areas. Love visiting Hudson valley among most scenic in US.. keep up good work..Love your puppies..
Thank you. Hurley is close to me.
Always cool to see a good concrete driver. Makes the job 100% easier not having to pull and push it constantly from one area to the next.
Can we all observe a moment of silence for the poor, unfortunate Bronco that Andrew is about to buy. May it rest in peace...
I Have heard that the front end on the new Bronco's is trash. It doesn't have the balls to off road but then again for most, off roading is a trip to Wegman's in the rain.
Jefe from Matt's Off Road Recovery would disagree with u. They have done a lot of upgrades, though
@@patrickwhelan5703 From what I've read the Bronco sport is trash, it's built on a light chassis but the regular Bronco is the real deal.
LOL 🤣
@@steveblauvelt6312 Well what's the story then smartass?
My cats love watching your videos. They really like it when you put in the high speed clips. Thank you for all the recent videos.
This will be a massive upgrade and I can't wait for the next part.
Andrew. You are awesome! 😀👍
One of the best things about Andrew is no matter what he is doing, he will always take time to play with Cody and Blue, even if hje is having a tough day, he shows those dogs unconditional love..Kuddos to you brother..
I've been looking forward to you putting garage doors on this for years. It's going to be so nice to keep all the rain and snow out.
Sno? Wots dat ?
That’s a whole lot of concrete for 3 individuals to pour, but you all got the job done and it looks great. I’m always amazed how you can make that equipment look like an extension of your self and that it does exactly what is needed to get the job done. Looking forward to seeing the rest of that massive garage built.
Wow, watching a junk clear-out is very therapeutic! The way Andrew films things, it feels like one is doing it oneself, whether work or play. Great channel!
M. B j. ; B. B.

This is the time you realize you really need another all in one outside storage rack. For all your attachments, parts and materials. GJ Andrew on the first one👍👍
Anyone else remembers what machines Andrew started out with then when he showed them all in the background he has really worked hard for everything he has achieved good on him he deserves it. 😀👍
Watching that aluminum trailer bend was pretty interesting! I wasn't entirely sold on them even before seeing that.
Yeah, it just tilted by lifting up the back of the truck, everything was fine.
Andrew, Thanks for a great build video. Got to see a couple sales and some of your equipment sales and OLD footage of Baby Blue!! Looking forward to the posts, walls and doors video! Thanks again!
56:35 Just for the guys not up with the latest, the PINK re-bar is Owen-Corning Pink Fiberglass re-Enfocnig rod! :) It's lighter. stronger AND cheaper than steel, and never rusts!
That's new to me and super interesting. Grady on Practical Engineering should put out a video about it. He has covered enough disasters where rusting rebar has cause concrete to crack and bloody great buildings and bridges to fail.
I have fiberglass rods laid in my shop’s floor. My contractor probably thought I was going to berate him when I spotted them and said something. Nope, I was happy. No spalling. I was kind of shocked to see them as folks in my area aren’t the speediest to change approaches and I forgot to ask for them.
How do those fair with temperature changes? Do they have a similar thermal coefficient as concrete?
Must be a newer product. It been a couple years since I formed, poured and finished concrete for a living.
Very enjoyable; I look forward to seeing the next phase. Thanks for doing such a great job telling the story with thoughtful camera setups and editing. Very well done.
I love these build videos. Cannot wait for more. This guy is the best channel on TH-cam.
Looks great Andrew, thanks for sharing brother! Kirk from Louisiana sending prayers and good vibes to you, your boys and your family! Stay safe,warm and healthy throughout the winter my friend! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I have watched Andrew from his very earliest videos. He has become a true videoaugrapher the editing is super seamless and music selection is always spot on. This is why his channel will keep on going. I just enjoy the content and the dogs are just the cherry on top.
Andrew, you are knocking it out of the park lately with the videos, and I'm loving it. From an OG viewer in the UK.
I'm a grown ass man but little puppy blue is the sweetest thing I've seen. What a good boy!
All this is so cool, the man always finds a solution, the problem with people like Andy is the more hypnotic videos they put out on YT the less "I" get done.
From a boy and his dog doing yard work , too a man building a castle on a mountain with his dogs .
All I can say is …
WOW !
🍺
ALWAYS A PLEASURE to see ANDREW CAMARATA working on anything. Such a talented man. Thank you for the videos❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼
Watched some old vids of 4 years back this guy has done more work than most people do in a lifetime, i remember you saying you would close that shed in a while ago cheers from OZ.
Great video Andrew, thanks again.
Thank you.
This has better production and entertainment value than anything on TV.
Whats this thing you call "tv"?
They’ll never understand that we don’t enjoy drama in shows (they’re so convinced that they manufacture it.)
We just want to watch something broken get fixed, or a slab become a shop, or trees become lumber…
It’s a Warehouse Forklift Andrew. 😂
It’s not meant to be driven over loose gravel. 🤦🏼♂️🤣
Great video as always, brother! 👊🏻👌🏻
Yup I always watch Andrew,before I start working outside..good motivation video,,thx Andrew
Definitely labour intentsive work and time consuming but rewarding for sure, anticipating the shop building process as well, good job Andrew and crew. Halifax Nova Scotia Canada
That was fun seeing that little bobcat type machine with the claw. I was amazed how it could pick up those heavy rocks, and how versatile that claw is. Great work!
Awesome work Andrew. Love seeing you improve ... anything :) Can't wait for the walls and doors!
Andrew another awesome video , I really enjoy your work ethics, you're an extremely hard worker . I don't know anyone that would tackle that much concrete ! I am looking forward to seeing the construction video ..
This is awesome. Love the end doors setup. And the pallet racks. Well done. Congratulations
A forklift with pheunamitic tires is what's needed to run around in the gravel with. Same size forklift or a little bit bigger than that one but with pheunamitic tires and there won't be a problem on the gravel or dirt and would still be fine on concrete ofcourse. Those solid wheels are great for inside on smooth concrete but nothing else. I'm sure Mr. Andrew knows this. It would definitely be useful for him to have one I think, especially there at the shop/castle. 👍
Nice work! Closing in the garage will keep it a lot cleaner and out of the wind will also be nice. Looking forward to the rest of the project.
Thanks for taking the extra time to record it all. You do a great job editing too, by the way!
It may be out of the wind but something I've never heard or noticed before is where or what is heating the castle (now also garage).... Never saw or recall him talking about any heat etc...
Amazing !! Andrew nice work !!
Great job Andrew and team! 👏💕👍 Now thats some THICK concrete!!! 😲😳😱
Imagine how far he has come in 5 years with his videos. Even his first few videos were professional looking. I loved the building and welding of his lodge the most. He has wore three men out so far looking for a fourth. Strong kid and what an imagination?
Remember you talking about this a couple years ago, pretty cool to see you doing it.
Andrew, I didn’t realize how much I missed you and your videos until I started watching this one. Thank you for sharing your life and projects with us for so many years!
After watching your videos I realized what I really needed in my life a skid loader !
!!
I think you had trouble with the gas-powered screeding tool because the concrete was a little wet. Working concrete is really an art that takes time to learn and master. I'm surprised you didn't use Expansion Joints but hey more power to you for accepting the challenge. Everything starts with a thought and only takes effort to start and finish add tips to you and yours Andrew and of course may you all be abundantly blessed
Thanks, yeah, you’re probably right, I think the board was better anyway for that. Next time, I have to do a floor like that I will probably get a power trowel, and try that, I’ve never used one before.
@@AndrewCamarataGet on it with a power trowel after it’s struck off, bulled smooth and getting stiff.
I thought on the last corner of the pour the concrete was ready to bust out the form. The stakes were bending slightly....
@@AndrewCamarata 100% need to power trowel these slabs. I love everything you do EXCEPT your slab work. I still say you would benefit so much with the finishing side of your concrete work if you spent a week or so with a good concrete crew.
@@mikeznel6048 Hey Mike, can you expand a little on "struck off" and "bulled smooth" for us rookies?? Thanks-
Andrew is the master of the side quest.
I think myself and 95% of the people watching Andrew is both jealous and admiring him at the same time! This is the perfect life! 👌 a while ago in a video he was talking about doing this with the garage so I was so excited to see he started it 😎
I like that he’s consolidating his equipment!!! Newer more useful machinery is far better than a TON of mediocre stuff that one only rarely uses 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I've missed the construction work on your channel since you finished the garage/castle. Keep the videos coming!
It will make a big difference when all done, great to see it in progress. Thanks for sharing, Nice Work !
you would think a 96 minute video about pouring concrete slabs would be boring to watch. Under normal circumstances you'd be correct, however Andrew Camarata makes it very entertaining. You never know exactly what he's doing, but it happens in a way that you'd never think of and to of an outcome totally unexpected. I bewildered at the fact that this channel doesn't have more than 5 million subscribers. I have watched every and enjoyed every video since the wood heated hot tub video.
With the concerete planing device thing it's really cool to see how easy Andrew makes some of these things look. Until you explained you need to twist the handle to make it switch I just assumed it did that automatically by the direction of the friction.
Andrew is getting smarter in his old age lol. Heck with that cold snow. Build it now so you can have when you are older
andrew channel and scotty kilmer are the best channels on youtube that i watch.. blue was a cute puppy, now all grown up! i cannot thank of anything that andrew cannot do.. his work is always on time. keep up with the awesome videos sir!
I’m gonna check out Scotty Kilmer. Dumpster Dave and Jesse mueller are definitely of the same ilk. Guy in Pennsylvania channel nononsenseknowhow or something like that-his name is Chris. These guys all know each other. All exceptional mechanics, welders, etc.
Thanks for all the content Andrew! Heck of a start to winter.
I think I could watch a 6 hour video on this channel. It has a very calming effect on me.
MAN, that looks awesome! The yard is looking great, Andrew. Cool to see Blue when he was little.
