Hey Andrew, I studied your area extensively in college for my Geology degree. The cool red/green alternating rock layers Sam found are most likely from the Oneonta or Walton formations. They are upper Devonian in age, roughly 360-380 million years old. At that time the Catskills region was a huge river delta. The deposits carried by the large network of rivers and streams got buried deeper and deeper and eventually became the Sandstones, Shales, and Conglomerates you find around your property. The red rocks are red because the water was shallow when those sediments were deposited, allowing exposure to air which oxidated the iron-bearing minerals and turned them red. The green layers were deposited when the water level was higher and no exposure to the air was possible, producing an iron-reducing environment causing the green coloration.
Oh yes! Blasting vids are awesome, that’s going to produce a whole heap of material for the new crusher. Great to see the dirt boss on your property too 😬
77 years old whoever you are I can sympathize with you cause I had a lung operation earlier this year and yes it is extremely painful and I also watch a lot of Andrew's videos. His videos are better than a movie.
what I love most about Andy's videos - no badgering to subscribe or click thumbs up or share or bloviating or silly intro's...his content is all that needs to be said. bravo.
Did anybody realize that Andrew is waiting to give us the blast video as a Christmas present next weekend? I can't wait to see that, then see that rock crusher in action. Happy Holidays to all especially you Andrew!
I smile every time I see the “White Oak Equipment” Logo on the Kubota mini ex. They are based right here in Fredericksburg, Va and have recently been sold to McClung Logan. I think of all the great people that have worked there in sales, service, parts and rental. It just makes me wonder how the Kubota ended up in Upstate New York….small world I guess. Thanks for another great video. Merry Christmas to all!

Andrew: thank you for letting us live vicariously through you for all these years!
77 years old, recovering from lung operation, watching these great videos helps take my mind off the pain,
As a retired combat engineer, I am really looking forward to the next video... I love demolitions of all types.
Andrew is the definition of "functionality over form" and I love that about him!
Loving all the new content coming out lately. You must just have a pile of stuff you've been waiting to edit for the past year! Thanks for sharing!

I’m bouldered over with this content, Andrew is really crushing it lately.
Andrew, I have been enjoying your videos for years, your videos (and audio) are excellent.
Andrew redefines "property maintence"! He is taking it to whole new level!!
