I enjoyed watching you build the pad. We use those shipping containers for storage here in Alaska. The flat pad is super helpful but we also put timbers or blocks at each corner to lift bottom the container up a little. It seems a little easier to level it that way and it also keeps the doors up a little higher so the snow that builds up all winter is less likely to obstruct the opening. Cheers
@@arthurballs9632 I hear that! lol, Down here in the hills of NC, If we did that we'd have possums, coons, copperheads who knows what else fighting for a spot!!
I agree, seperate the containers by a couple feet(23-30), u could put a overhang on them.. have lockable storage and a place to back in a car or something, or WE'R sure u could come up with another usage for the covered space !
In Indiana, they tax the shit out of anything permanent. So I placed 2 containers 14’ apart, built a 16’ flat roof between them secured with stake-pocket hold-downs, attached a back wall, and covered the whole structure with metal roofing from Menards. Sprayed everything Oliver Green, and the whole tax-free 30X20 storage area is invisible sitting back under the trees in the corner. Still looks great after 18 years! 😎👍🇺🇸
Camarata mountain getting bigger. Looking good Andrew your efforts are commendable. Keep the videos coming they are much better to view than anything on TV.
@@ericspicuzza2483 They work with fresh batteries. The same problem he has with modern battery chargers is the issue with the solar battery mainteners, they cant revive and maintain a dead, bad battery. They need to have enough of a charge for the computer to detect and maintain. But replacing the batteries in all his machines would be a small fortune.
Andrew, that’s a truly beautiful place you have there on that mountain. I bet it’s even more beautiful in person. I enjoy watching you run your equipment since I use to run equipment and still enjoy it but don’t get the chance much anymore. I admire the fact that you try to go the extra mile to see that things are done the right way the first time. Really looking forward to the videos of the castle build.
I love the way he gets every camera angle perfect. I was so happy to see another video from you even though you posted yesterday I love your videos keep up the good work Andrew.
I love how your dogs are always allowd to go everywhere with you, a lot of dogs are confined to a tiny yard all day and maybe taken out for a 15 minute walk on a leash if they're lucky! Your dogs really are living their best life!
Our dogs absolutely love going to my second homes (Home Depot and Lowes) because they are allowed in the store with us. They always behave perfectly because they are just a bit overwhelmed with al the sights and sounds.
I appreciate you Andrew. In my youth I would run around frantic and do half the stuff twice. Be more deliberate and do it once is my current vibe. Set yourself up with a few 50w solars with cheap charge controllers and put them in seldom used equipment keeping them topped off. Batteries last longer and they frigging start when they are needed.
That is definitely a job worth doing! Not only does it make it easier to use the containers, but drainage underneath them is dramatically improved also, thus helping to slow down any unwanted corrosion. I have to say that I am absolutely smitten with that large piece of mountain that you own. That was indeed a very good purchase. If I were miraculously to come into a large sum of money, lived in the USA and in the highly unlikely event that you were to sell up, I would most definitely be in the queue to buy it. Whilst the stars aligning in such a way is nothing short of a fantasy, it does demonstrate how much I adore that land and that absolutely wonderful view of the valley. Now, all I have to do is find somewhere similar here in Japan, which is a far more realistic option!!
Andrew, you need to make a covered pavilion that you can put your RV trailer under to keep the elements away from its roof so that you don't have any leaks. The trailer will last longer and you will like it.
@Greg_Gatsby if he had a water source on top of the mountain he could run a P.V.C. misting on the rafters of the pavilion/pole barn to cool it off during hotter days!! My step Dad did that with our mobile home when I was growing up in Oregon. No such thing as air-conditioned homes back then for us poor folk!! HaHaHa!!
I think my OCD would have gotten the better of me and I would have ended up putting all three shipping containers together rather than one just behind the two that were relocated. As always Andrew, great clip, and appreciate you taking time out of your day to make them!
The older I get, the more I think about conservation of energy. It helps me get so much more done during a day of work on my place. I love that you put these tid-bits of wisdom in your videos. 👍🇺🇸🤠
couple suggestions 1 for containers place relatively close but apart that could put trusses and roof over and have cover areas for ? whatever like small garage/shop out of snow and rain 2 solar trickle charger battery maintainer for equipment that sets long time between uses
I had a boss for office framing job that never did anything efficient, literally never planned ahead for anything, just come to work, do some work, zero thought. Literally got to the point where I asked "If we gotta do stuff over can we have the other laborer redo each other's stuff?" It was demoralizing to have to redo perfectly good work because they didn't think ahead at all.
An Andrew video right at lunch time and just the right length. I am going to sit and watch this while checking out this whistle pig all while eating lunch. Thanks man.
Hey Andrew This was a nice video you can use RM18 It's a weed and grass killer around your container keep the weeds and grass down. If that's not strong enough you can use RM43 It's total vegetation killer.
Hi Andrew, hope you're keeping well. Fitting battery isolator switches to my rigs was a game-changer for me after a friend told me to work smarter, not harder. I also made some battery covers from a furniture blanket for winter times. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Watching guys like you and my brother-in-law who can operate large machines like they are an extension of you and doing finishing task that might take others using a smaller machine or hand tools is fascinating. Modern tools are nice but having the base knowledge like you do is the better foundation to have rather than starting with the modern tools, then you are able to do the work regardless.
I love your ideas about small choices that increase efficiency! My personal mantra is, Never walk anywhere empty handed. There is always something that needs to be moved from one place to another.
For my big equipment I always installed a battery cut-off switch if I was going to park them for more than a day... and eventually I set up a solar-powered battery tending system so all my batteries were being trickle charged when the vehicle sat. I had some old equipment with power draws... so this saved me weeks of time. I don't know what will work best for you, but you seem pretty frustrated about the batteries draining when you aren't using the equipment... I bet you'd come up with something 10 times better than what I had. Thanks for sharing these projects with us - and I love your building plans for this mountain property!! I can't wait to see those plans come together.
Fun: Great drone shots and editing Andrew as always and you even resisted knocking over a tripod; just perfect. By the time you're finished, you'll be able to land a small aircraft up there.
Hello AC, In the Army, we had all kinds of huge tents for operations space and mess halls. Maybe something like a huge 50'x50' tent would help you there? Kind of a semi-permenant thing as you complete your new castle on the mountain. Just a thought... it would at least keep everything dry when you need it. If you bought a used one, it probably comes in a shipping container that you get to keep.
The outside is like a plastic/rubber coated canvas with a metal skeleton. Something like what Mayor Adams was putting up in NYC for the migrants. Maybe those are now for sale since the migrants are now in nice hotels.
Hey Andrew, another Andrew here -but I just go by Andy. Been watching your content for several years now, and must keep doing so as I like how you do things. (And how Cody barks at you when you're yanking on a recoil!) I'd also never comment here unless I thought it might be the least bit helpful. So as far as your continuing issues with dead batteries on your many machines, like with the Bell B30E dump truck: Get 1 or more lithium iron phosphate 24V (or 12V) batteries, strap them to hand truck (or weld up a custom holder) connect in parallel or series as needed, and attach long beefy cables with clamps. (plenty of UA-cam vids on how to make your own hand truck inverter/ power station systems) What batteries to get would be the question here, get a Fluke clamp multimeter (or something like it) and measure the inrush current when starting various machines, and then get batteries with a BMS that supports that max amperage output or the proportionate fraction of it... And also nice to see that you have found a new partner! 🍺😜👍
@21:38 %1000 agree. I do the same. If I know I need something to do a job, I take a little time gathering all the stuff I need in the beginning instead of walking back and forth. That little time adds up.
Andrew I see you learned your lesson about leaving all the leaves and debris in your equipment haha. LOLd when you pulled out the blower to clean the excavator before using it 😅
HA! I was just about to say "still no Lexus video" and lo and behold it's there from yesterday, not sure how I missed it. Two to watch! Keep 'em coming Andrew. Can't even explain how excited I am for the new castle build!
Every time Andrew has a project on the mountain top retreat, I keep wondering when he is going to have a "Building overhead cover for the camper" video. Andrew, it would be a perfect project for a video, something you could do w/astonishing speed/ease, and it would help protect your camper/extend its longevity.
Maybe removing one of the battery ends for each battery when not using them for extend times? Love your nonshulant attitude in your narration, the content, and your video production work. Top notch.
@@Watchyn_Yarwood Looks like he has one but something else is maybe draining the battery. Short of tracking down the leak I was just thinking of a possable quick and dirty suggestion.
@@Watchyn_Yarwood That was my point, physically disconncet a battery cable to stop any drain on the battery that his battery disccont switch wasnt catching.
@@blaise2628 I understand now what you are saying. However, if you were familiar with a battery disconnect switch, it is either on or off. If it's off there can be no parasitic drain on the battery. I have owned and repaired heavy equipment for over 60 of my 79 years and I know how battery disconnect switches work.
Depends, many are very shitty, you want one with an actual controller and atleast a 20w panel. The cheap ones often back feed power or have an always on LED so they actualy drain the battery.
Thanks! Have been watching you from the beginning and are amazed at your growth and success in every area…. Might have painted the containers white, sun hitting the dark color may increase their heat absorption and melting surrounding snow possibly increasing your ice problem during the cooler nights….kinda like an ice dam issue on roofs….
@@AndrewCamarata Very understandable based on your location…having lived at the end of SilverHollow near Willow NY with a red horse barn, I can appreciate your perspective…..
Andrew, great job getting ur two Containers moved and setting them-up to beable to open them better.. Cody and Blue sure does have fun running around the areas..
You did a good job, just a little shake and bake on the tool trailer. I like watching you get things done, something I've never been able to do myself since I was always working.
@@loveistheanswer8137 i can't be sure, i would have to find the upload and watch it again but i'm pretty sure he gave up, it would be a dream for guys like you, if some company developed a product that would work for you guys..... I'M PATENTING IT NOW B.T.W. before some clever kid invents it🤣
I fully expect Cody and Blue to be riding motorized skateboards next video, and I agree with the 2 dogs. We've had 2 dogs for quite a few years, and will always have 2. It's just terrible for us and the dog that outlives one that passes. We always get another, but like us, the one that lived always seems to be looking for the one that's gone. They always like a new buddy to run with tho. I liked seeing them at the end. I think they like the view just as much as we all do.
Great to see you again Andrew. Good to see things on the move for the new house/castle. I didn't realise itt was going to be right behind the camper van. The drawings for the new place look sensational, really cool. Hope all goes well. Er ..... some fire extinguishers might be a good idea :)
LOVED this video. Nice having the equiptment to have your very own stone quary🙂 Loved the drone footage , always a plus in any of your videos. I totally agree with planing things out and thinking it through to get things done in better order, I find that I go though my day a lot more effecently when I plan it all out ahead of time and then just do things in order, clean up at the time that I do things and then I don't have to come back and redo something. Makes life so much easier. thank yolu for sharing a beautiful sunset with us. Castle 2 in 2025??
You have a nice view there from the top of your mountain, I don't think this video does it justice. You would have to be there in person to appreciate that view. Thank you for sharing it with us, Andrew
At some point in time you could add more gravel to the right side and make some distance between containers,make a roof across the 2 of them if you have to work on something right away getting out weather,snow,rain. Maybe close in the back side across to shelter you from wind,cold using that other container. A sub emergency shop to change something in a hurry to finish a job you are working on. Just a thought to have something handy to get to for minor repair stuff. Even a heavy duty tarp as a makeshift roof. Your work is fantastic, your equipment is a life saver.
That looks really nice now, and I think you are right , it will be easier to get into the containers in the winter. The ideal solution though is to put up a quansat building with overhead doors.
I appreciate all the time he spends positioning cameras for GREAT views of his work.
Yeah he's become so good in filmography!

Solar battery keepers for all the toys may be a good future episode. Inexpensive and they work pretty well. Enjoyed!

Always a pleasure. Nice to see the old Bomag again, made in Boppard, not far from my homestead.

The best part about these videos are the dogs. They are a hoot to watch and they love the view from the property.
Finally! Every time you had to chip ice to open the door I was wondering why you didn't raise them up. Another great video.
Either that or put em on RR tie sleepers
I was about to suggest he raise them up after watching him struggle so much trying to open them in his other video...

My batteries are always fully charged with SOLAR CHARGERS.
And where do you find those that really work. I have tried it a few times but it never works out right.
i think he did try that in a previous upload, not sure why he gave up on the idea
I have a bunch of equipment that often sits. They all have solar battery tenders and battery disconnects, and they always start.
@@badlarry172 He has the same issue I have, when you have things on a mountain top with trees the sun is not on them long.
@@loveistheanswer8137 i can't be sure, i would have to find the upload and watch it again but i'm pretty sure he gave up, it would be a dream for guys like you, if some company developed a product that would work for you guys..... I'M PATENTING IT NOW B.T.W. before some clever kid invents it🤣
that view at the end of your videos is absolutely gorgeous, thanks for sharing it
Andrew’s got all the toys us boys want 👍🏻 great vid again.
I fully expect Cody and Blue to be riding motorized skateboards next video, and I agree with the 2 dogs. We've had 2 dogs for quite a few years, and will always have 2. It's just terrible for us and the dog that outlives one that passes. We always get another, but like us, the one that lived always seems to be looking for the one that's gone. They always like a new buddy to run with tho. I liked seeing them at the end. I think they like the view just as much as we all do.
Thanks!
I appreciate you, AC.
Great job on the new pad. Can't wait for the building the castle series to begin.
Throw one of those amazon eco-worthy 100w solar panels on the roof. I have 200w on an old F350 and it keeps the batteries topped off very well.
Yes, that's the way to go if you don't use them daily.
@@markuschampos5750 That F350 runs a verizon hotspot and a camera to keep an eye on some equipment I have at a (soon to be) build site a mile away
@BN-tg5ge Smart!
2 seconds in, I wonder if something breaks for no reason 😅
Never though of that
It's good to have the tools you need to get the job done right, as always Andrew great job.
Agressive growling barking and fighting
i mean 2 dogs arguing over whos stick it was!
haha :) gotta love dogs
I loved seeing the two little dogs gazing off into the distance at the end of the video. It sure seemed like they were actually enjoying the view.
Permits get approved?
Yes
Great to see you again Andrew. Good to see things on the move for the new house/castle. I didn't realise itt was going to be right behind the camper van. The drawings for the new place look sensational, really cool. Hope all goes well. Er ..... some fire extinguishers might be a good idea :)
I think I might live in his area. Whenever he drives around the roads look familiar. I wonder if he lives in upstate New York like me
Duh!
@ do you like balls?
@ I scrape cheese off of mine all the time
LOVED this video. Nice having the equiptment to have your very own stone quary🙂 Loved the drone footage , always a plus in any of your videos. I totally agree with planing things out and thinking it through to get things done in better order, I find that I go though my day a lot more effecently when I plan it all out ahead of time and then just do things in order, clean up at the time that I do things and then I don't have to come back and redo something. Makes life so much easier. thank yolu for sharing a beautiful sunset with us. Castle 2 in 2025??
what are you thinking about the election??
Happy. I hope they shut down so many of the pointless regulations.
oh andrew, i'm relieved you think like that. and they will. and they'll do it right.
In France we really appreciate your videos and we do like you!🌍
Making a level pad for shipping containers is not the right title......the right title is....''MAKING MONEY WITH VIDEOS TO PAY FOR MY NEW HOUSE!''
* title 😲🤷♂🤣🤦♂
@@proven6270 What?!?!?!...lol
Jealousy is a wlcked thing boy!
@@l5r90 lol.... i see your edit now 👀 😀🤣
You have a nice view there from the top of your mountain, I don't think this video does it justice. You would have to be there in person to appreciate that view. Thank you for sharing it with us, Andrew
Great job leveling the containers, it should be much easier now to get into them when there's ice and snow.
At some point in time you could add more gravel to the right side and make some distance between containers,make a roof across the 2 of them if you have to work on something right away getting out weather,snow,rain. Maybe close in the back side across to shelter you from wind,cold using that other container. A sub emergency shop to change something in a hurry to finish a job you are working on. Just a thought to have something handy to get to for minor repair stuff. Even a heavy duty tarp as a makeshift roof. Your work is fantastic, your equipment is a life saver.
Wow that property has paid back mega dividends.more than you probably ever dreamed. Thanks for all the great videos
31:00 that is quite a view. Awesome to sit there in the evenings and enjoy yourselves.
That looks really nice now, and I think you are right , it will be easier to get into the containers in the winter. The ideal solution though is to put up a quansat building with overhead doors.
