    Nice Vid as always! Small tip from an operator, only hammer about 15 seconds on spot and then move onto another. When you hammer on spot for a longer period you will heat up the hammerbit and remove its hardening. That means the bit will be wore down much faster and dont forget to grease the hammer

    Hey Andrew! I have learned a lot from watching you over the years. You’ve actually been a tremendous inspiration to me. I really really hope you see my comment.
    I was disabled when I first found your channel. I have a rare, incurable autoimmune disease and was unable to walk for many years. At the time I found you, I had been sick for 12 LONG years. I couldn’t care for myself or my family. My husband did everything for us. That’s how severely ill I was.
    When I started watching you, something inside of me was in the process of changing; a switch flipped. I can’t explain it. I found myself wanting to build and fix things. I started with small DIY house projects - something about watching your videos taught me how to repair things/do things myself. That’s when my illness started to go into remission and I began woodworking.
    I had never thought of welding until I became inspired watching you repair your heavy machinery. After watching you weld your home and your video about welding, I knew I had to try it.
    Well, here I am a couple years later and I’m in my last semester of welding school. I am 49 years old, was disabled for 14 years total but now I’m in full remission. I don’t think I would’ve ever thought of picking up a welder if it wasn’t for watching your videos. I love welding and am hoping to rejoin the workforce as an industrial welder.
    I want to thank you for being an inspiration to me, for helping me explore ideas I wouldn’t have thought of on my own. I now have a fully stocked metal/wood-shop, can repair just about anything, build anything and am not afraid to try new things. I also have my strength and my health back.
    I couldn’t thank you enough for being the inspiration I needed to help me change my life.
    Please keep making videos. I enjoy watching you so very much.

In the southern Appalachians We were the "Over the Mountain Men" or "Wautaugans" who specifically disobeyed the british royalty by colonizing an area "over the mountains" that by the monarchs of Europe had been agreed to as land that was not open to colonization by free white settlers. The rugged natural beauty of the mountains was surely an attractive feature to the Scots-Irish but the political, social, economic, and religious separation as well as a thumbing of the nose at the crown was a far more important reason for the heavy colonization of the Appalachians by my ancestors.

    Those big hammer drills drink a lot of amps. When I was in the equipment rental business, I warned customers to not exceed 50' of 12 gauge extension cords though we liked 10 gauge 50' extension cords better. So many customers burned up those tools by running 100' of 18 gauge extension cords! Those big electric tools need both 120' volts and the appropriate amperage too. When they don't get enough amps, they burn up the stators and amatures.

    A rock drill attachment for the skid steer would be useful in your area Andrew. Even if you can't use explosives you can get a liquid that's poured into the holes that expands and breaks up large boulders. They also make a hydraulic feather and wedge that you can put into the holes to break up boulders. As mush rock as you get into while working for people and now on your own property I'd look into some of these things. As a business owner you might be able to get certified as a blasting contractor and be able to use explosives. Drill and blast like those guys did for you in the equipment storage yard. You're always buying different equipment to have just in case the need arises that you'll need it for a job this would just be something else you could advertise you can do. Another trick in your bag of tricks.

    I love watching videos where your girlfriend is involved. I wish my wife would get more involved in the various aspects of maintaining equipment like your gf does but she is not interested in that side of things. I have always been grateful that she wants to mow and maintain the yard and take care of the shrubbery/trees immediately outside the front of the house as well as help mow and maintain the back yard. I can't complain one bit about my wife cause she does alot that I would normally have to do. So I def respect your gf for what she does. Love the vids man.

    The intrinsic problem with using a hammer drill on rock is, as we see in your video, the second one: you have to put weight behind them. I had to bore out rock and burned up more bits than my boss was comfortable with. Don’t know if you were boring with an industrial diamond cutter hole saw but they sure work better that most. Great videos. Always look forward to “The Adventures of Andrew Camarata and his Machines of Awesomeness” videos.
