No wonder no one wants to watch television anymore. Most shows on television are complete garbage, and they have a staff of producers, directors, crew, etc. This is one guy, doing his own filming and editing, and running his own company.

Those who agree with this comment can come see my channel(s) then. While true, some of my videos are like this video, lengthy, but gets to the point, unlike some of those family guy videos where there's filler in the video to extend the video past what the intended clip is meant to be. Don't get me wrong, I myself do enjoy some of the videos of family guy, I think there was only about one video that was short and got to the point of what the title was. I have this channel that I'm commenting with, morgan russmans gaming channel, morgan russmans cooking channel, and morgan russmans conspiracy theroy channel, I don't have anything currently (6/2019) have anything on the conspiracy theory channel yet, but keep an eye out for my conspiracy theory channel, I do plan on eventually uploading something to the conspiracy theory channel.

at 27:00 if he wouldve just put the bed down on the dump truck he wouldve had less weight over the rear tires and wouldve got out no problem. instead he dug ruts
I just wanted to believe that he did it on purpose to add more interesting wrk😂he ain't havin it that easy way. This guy can wrk until his tools start screaming for help.
My dad is 96 and asked me to send you this comment since he can’t do it himself. “I see you have been doing stone roads where you are at. Have you tried shoulder stone (shoulder stone is a product of screening and finings of crushed blue stone). Check with a dealer for more information. Rent or buy an over road grader and a ten ton three wheel road roller for compaction. This stuff compacts very well and is good for hard usage. I’ve never tried this before but have heard it is very good -Mix Portland cement in a lean mixture with shoulder stone. Mix dry and spread dry in hard usage areas. Allow light usage for one or two weeks. It will set.”
Your dad knows what he is talking about! Proper finish is with compaction and the use of the right materials to bind it if you don't want to get stuck!
Awesome job man , but as you see when the dump backs up with that load how the gravel pushed down and by no means any hate on the video but if you take the top soil off like the first 6-12 inches of dirt and bring it down to hard material you’ll never have a problem with the driveway. Then track pack the hell out of the gravel with the excavator if you don’t have a roller. It will last a lot longer cause when it rains and you have to bring in a heavy truck or machinery forget it it’s going to turn into a mess.
@@TheTacticalBarrage no no no no no no no no. What if he did do what you said, but then the truck turned sideways and still had no traction. Then what? That's why he did what he did so he could steer the truck then pull if forward get out of the truck then turn the machine off.
It was very stupid of him to do that. You're running on wet dirt next to unmanned heavy equipment and you're driving a truck out into possible incoming traffic with no way of stopping. That's a good way of getting a one way ticket for the Darwin Awards of for Fail Army.
It was pretty awesome. He should think about installing a big ass winch on the front of each of his trucks so he doesn't have to risk it in the future.
A hundred guys with rakes, shovels, etc. could not have done a better job. The precision and skill of use of the machinery is unparalleled. Man, this is one satisfying video.
@@nedkarjanen6251 It stops the road base material from just sinking into the mud. Saving a lot of material cost. The only downside is the ground underneath never really firms up so heavier trucks will sink into the driveway more.
@@legohead6 actually with one foot of gravel over fabric, I have supported 85,000 lb. loaded trucks repeatedly for weeks. The fabric also creates a bridging effect which in essence creates a footprint equal to the wheelbase. I built a log truck loading site on ground that barely supported people walking. By the end of the 4 week job (two truck loads in and out per day) the skidder was seat deep in water, pushing floating logs up to the truck but, the trucks never sank in even a little bit.
LOVED the solo maneuver at 13:25 to drive both vehicles!! Reminded me of the scene in the movie The Gods Must Be Crazy where the guy had to open and close the fence behind him while on a hill. >-D
Very good work, specially using the escalator, when putting stone over fabric, the first load of stone can help you make a tracking pad for your dump truck and spread the load going forward not backwards, you know... safety first. Other than that, excellent video
Lmao same here just seen a thumbnail of it and it started playing so I just clicked it and watched the whole thing. Waste of my time but was interesting.
Andrew it is incredable what you do with your machinery!!! You always go the extra mile to make sure everything looks great. There needs to be alot more people out there like you!!!!
Andrew does a lot of explanations as he is repairing or doing his regular work. I’ve never heard him swear! And I’m a retired Marine, so I’ve gotten quite the experience of cussing sailors and marines, that’s why I let my 2 and 5 year old grandkids watch this shows. They love watching his UA-cam videos.
That’s nothing, not only did I just helped put in a driveway in the woods, and set an shipping container in place. I helped clear some property of some old tires, then helped on some drainage work on a mountain road. That’s just in the last couple of hours, I’ll probably get at least two more jobs done before bedtime. Great videos, keep ‘em coming!
Still don’t know how I stumbled upon this but I have watched it often. One of the most satisfying videos on UA-cam. Not sure why, I gues just seeing honest effort and progress. I hope to own a piece of land off the beaten path one day and have a guy like this come in and help me run a driveway in. This guys job is so much more satisfying than so many of us office dwellers.
An excellent job - as usual - Andrew. Once again I have to say I never cease to be amazed at the inherent power of your skid-sliders! Imagine towing a massive truck filled with 4" gravel - and all you need is a steell chain. Just wow!
Was the customer just looking for something fast & cheap? Why no Sheepsfoot roller/vibrating compactor??? That would have been my next step right after stump removal & leveling. Compact the hell out of the natural ground adding fill & more leveling where needed. Then you have a good base for your fabric & gravel followed by a smooth roller compacter. A good solid base is everything when it comes to building pretty much anything...
I live and Germany and no way a one man business could pull the things off he can. It's not just regulations and laws, I mean the entire work ethics and vocational education system is like that these kind jobs are just done by a team of people, there's simply no company that would teach you to do this all by yourself.
@@guffaw1711 sad huh? As a Canadian with an education from a few years back and going through ‘experimental’ teaching..our tech program did not allow you to take just one shop, you had six to report to. Auto, drafting, woodworks/building construction, electrical, machine shop and welding. I am so thankful I went where and when I did...you could say it’s very costly to have my toolbox but there isn’t too much I won’t tackle and overcome and I’ve seen some real winners of jobs. Luckily dad had access to machines (from work) and that’s where I started my heavy machine operations. It has a special place in my heart today. All the best to ya.
The dump truck and trailer are stuck...and he is by himself. He puts the excavator behind the trailer and puts it in gear while he jumps out and runs to the dump to steer it out. Once it is on hard pavement he jumps out of the truck and hauls back to the excavator and takes it out of gear. Job done! Never seen anybody like this in 75 years.
I'm impressed by the sheer effort, the native skills, the integrity of the project....but most of all, it was accomplished without a full crew of engineers, guys leaning on shovels, and a boss screaming out orders no one can either hear or understand...great job!!!
Just wanted to let you know that we have a 3 year old son, and you're basically his hero. XD We don't let him watch television, or really much stuff on screens...but his reward is to watch "Andrew Camarata" when he behaves well. Love the videos and knowledge, and super happy my 3 year old could point out the CULVERT PIPE!! as we drove down the road. Keep up the great videos! PS He now thinks anyone with a chainsaw or excavator might be you...lol
I’m with you. Andrew always motivates me to go dig some stuff up!! I’m still trying to figure out how I can justify the excavator purchase to my wife when her priorities are calling for a bathroom remodel!!! :(
This man really know how to operate all his heavy equipment with such precision! People don't realize how much work it takes when you're developing a property for a homeplace.
@@GSPforLIFE1, There was about 2 1/2 minutes of him strapping logs down and I guess he didn't want that in it. I thought it was superb, but Andrew must have not liked it, all good. I'm going to watch it again !!
I give this Andrew guy alot of credit. He loads the materials very easy . I notice he doesnt just drop the rocks or stumps in his dump bodies like the average contractor or operator would do. His equipment will last very long... Well done. Buddy
Can’t get any better than this. Insane amount of work; both for the work done on the equipment and also properly recording it at the same time. You’re a one man army.
You know this pretty much routine for you and some of these videos are 2/3 years old but for someone that has never seen it done is just so fascinating to watch. Great video!
@@Drottninggatan2017 youtube takes a while (if it manages at all) when you first publish a video to render more resolutions. Probly re-uploaded cause it got stuck in 360.
Guys what was wrong with the first video, i saw it in my notifications and when i went to watch it it was gone, then it got re uploaded and the title changed 🤷🏻♂️
Travis Davis another dislike? Please state what his shoddy work was? You do understand this was a road to a construction site, not a permanent structure. I have seen these built in my area countless times, most not this nice. The perfect leveled compacted and rolled gravel comes after the big trucks and excavators have finished. Maybe even a paved surface! But please state why this is shoddy work? No hate.......
Yard - A safer approach would have been to call someone to come help. Another would have been to pull it from the front using a chain or tow strap. Of course, by himself, there is the problem of not having a spotter/flagger for any traffic that may come along. The bottom line is leaving operating machinery like that is extremely dangerous. Any number of things could have gone wrong. He could have fell down and been run over.
Outstanding! Great earth moving work, videography, drone and music. Loved the before, during and after process. Very skilled work and I hope to see more videos soon. Thank you.
Andrew, that was one of the best UA-cam videos I have watched in a very long time. I know nothing about construction but just bought some farm land for my retirement home. There is no access and I had no idea of how to go about doing this. This video was a treasuretrove of good information. Thank you !!
@@joedirte716 loving your job is awesome. Some days I don't wanna go to work, but that money tells me to get my ass to work. I like my job, I get bored sometimes though.
...this guy can probably unhook a bra with his heavy machinery skills. I sprain an ankle picking my nose and he's giving a straight razor shave with his backhoe.
unemployable I didn’t see the Ford get stuck sorry, in New England they count all the wheels so small ford is a 6 wheeler, bigger international is a 10, then if the international had a drop axle it would be classified as a triaxle It’s strange how different areas call things differently
See it now the way the director originally envisioned it with 3 full minutes of never before seen footage! Get the directors cut streamed to a device near you.
Just want you to know that I really admire the work you do. I own and operate a construction business is oklahoma, and the attention you have toward the work you do is very rare. Props to you for your hustle in running a small business and doing so in a very respectable manner. Atta boy!
Not only has he mastered the machine , but he believes in doing the job right.I have my own business and under my letterhead is something my father taught me; " If a job is worth doing , it's worth doing right." This coming from a member of "The Greatest Generation".
Believe it or not, this was the very first video I ever watched from Andy. Since then, I've probably watched 50+ more. And this one is in the top 5 for me. I also very much enjoyed him bracing the rock next to his building as well. I wish he would do a video on how he purchased his property, how he designed it, how he graded it to get that great flat area where the castle is, etc. etc. Come on Andy, give us some inside baseball type videos. We all love seeing your progression and how you got to where you are... John in Texas...
Caminho para destruição. O homem é pior do que cupim, essa floresta vai desaparecer igual fumaça. /// Path to destruction. Man is worse than termite, this forest will disappear like smoke.
Such finesse and precision with that CL35. Could you tell me how many tons of gravel you laid down? As with many of your viewers, I could not stop watching you transform stump town into a serviceable driveway. My hat is off to you.
28:20 Normally, it first takes off the soft, top layer of soil (humus), and reveals a harder one. And only then, on this hard soil, rubble and wedge fall. Here it is clearly seen that the upper layer of the earth was not collected, so it is not surprising then that the truck got stuck on a freshly poured clump or crushed stone.
That's a good point about removing the topsoil. I had a residential driveway replaced last year. Since their machinery was sinking heavily into my soft clay soil, they excavated about 10-14" of soil throughout the length of the driveway. They then filled in with differing layers of rock. I was surprised by how deep they went, but it didn't add a lot of cost to the job. The National Asphalt Pavement Association does recommend 6-8" of base material. I realize the owner might not use asphalt, but your point about excavating the topsoil seems like good advice.
I know you are limited by the client/budget, however, this job had to be the bare minimum of clearing/compacting possible. I would have done a lot more prep before the fabric went down. Hopefully, this driveway stays solid.... though I have a feeling he'll be calling to get it resurfaced soon.
Installing a driveway, making good time.. Homeowner : Hey im going to have a giant shipping container dropped off halfway through laying stone in the mud, on a hill. Thankssss
@@garageworker I wouldn't be doing it by hand and If I didn't have an excavator I'd go with a grinder. As an after thought If I had no grinder then some Diesel fuel, a drill and big drill bit, lots of holes and a stick lighter or something hot enough to get the Diesel fuel to light.
It was a real pleasure to watch such a talented Plant Operator perform. The machine was simply an extension of his hands & feet ! It was like watching Sir Malcome Sargeant conducting !
Maybe two smaller containers might have been the go! 😂 But then the video wouldn't have been as interesting! Mind you, plenty of other great highlights, especially the first solo unbogging! Genius!
I was working construction as a heavy equipment operator. I came on at the end of the job so I didn't know how far the road was finished. After work I drove my sleeper van to find out. Then I hit a spot of sand and got stuck. I found a open cab Cat dozer with a chain to pull myself out but no one was there to help. it was a back road with no lights so no one would find me until morning. Well I had to put the dozer in first gear jump off run to the van climb in and steer myself out. Then jump out the van climb on the moving dozer to stop it. Worked but I don't wanna try that again.

I don't know if that is the OSHA approved method of getting your dump truck unstuck, but I am certainly impressed with the tenacity of it..

He is insane.... But it works for him.
I had no idea you could put an excavator in "cruise control" to even allow a save/assist like that. Very impressive indeed.

If I had done it, I wouldn't have pulled far enough up and the excavator would have run into the trailer... :O
Brilliant, one man job ingenuity
Or he could have just kept the dump truck on the side of the road and not got stuck. :)
Aside from anything else, the fact he never once says 'like & subscribe' , 'let me know in the comments' etc means he wins UA-cam

Was the customer just looking for something fast & cheap?
Why no Sheepsfoot roller/vibrating compactor???
That would have been my next step right after stump removal & leveling.
Compact the hell out of the natural ground adding fill & more leveling where needed.
Then you have a good base for your fabric & gravel followed by a smooth roller compacter.
A good solid base is everything when it comes to building pretty much anything...
Brother you deserve every dollar you charged for that job. Your work was excellent!
I don't have my own house, let alone need to build a driveway.. but this was still oddly satisfying.
13:42, man....all those works did yourself? Respect!
I live and Germany and no way a one man business could pull the things off he can. It's not just regulations and laws, I mean the entire work ethics and vocational education system is like that these kind jobs are just done by a team of people, there's simply no company that would teach you to do this all by yourself.
@@guffaw1711 sad huh? As a Canadian with an education from a few years back and going through ‘experimental’ teaching..our tech program did not allow you to take just one shop, you had six to report to. Auto, drafting, woodworks/building construction, electrical, machine shop and welding. I am so thankful I went where and when I did...you could say it’s very costly to have my toolbox but there isn’t too much I won’t tackle and overcome and I’ve seen some real winners of jobs. Luckily dad had access to machines (from work) and that’s where I started my heavy machine operations. It has a special place in my heart today. All the best to ya.
@@guffaw1711 It's called America my brother...FREEDOM if we can keep it!!!!!!!!!!
The dump truck and trailer are stuck...and he is by himself. He puts the excavator behind the trailer and puts it in gear while he jumps out and runs to the dump to steer it out. Once it is on hard pavement he jumps out of the truck and hauls back to the excavator and takes it out of gear. Job done! Never seen anybody like this in 75 years.
Ghost operation.
@0:02 seconds.. your trailer ramp on the right needs welding .
is that a hint to make another video ? ;)
49:32 "I'll fix this" Wow, what self confidence. You the man Andrew!!
Haha i was reading your comment literally just as this was happening 😂
The man enjoyed himself helping Andrew out
so wholesome
@@tonyt5218 same. Love it when that happens
I'm impressed by the sheer effort, the native skills, the integrity of the project....but most of all, it was accomplished without a full crew of engineers, guys leaning on shovels, and a boss screaming out orders no one can either hear or understand...great job!!!
OMG - how true! Been there, done that! Now we all know why heavy equipment is worth 20 good men.
If this was a union job there it would take 6 men and 2 months of milking it. Of course no one could afford that so it wouldn’t get done at all.

@@GSPforLIFE1, There was about 2 1/2 minutes of him strapping logs down and I guess he didn't want that in it. I thought it was superb, but Andrew must have not liked it, all good. I'm going to watch it again !!
really great operator on that equipment. top notch job.
13:40 - That mad dash to jump in the driver seat was awesome. That's how one man gets a truck out of the mud. Good job.
I give this Andrew guy alot of credit. He loads the materials very easy . I notice he doesnt just drop the rocks or stumps in his dump bodies like the average contractor or operator would do. His equipment will last very long... Well done. Buddy
Can’t get any better than this. Insane amount of work; both for the work done on the equipment and also properly recording it at the same time. You’re a one man army.

The first one looked and sounded OK to me.
Same hear worked perfectly fine
As I remember it, the resolution was not as good in the last version. At least not in the start.
@@Drottninggatan2017 youtube takes a while (if it manages at all) when you first publish a video to render more resolutions. Probly re-uploaded cause it got stuck in 360.
Thank you for your efforts at striving for publishing perfection. The first one was fine with me, grin.
First one was fine, but now I have extra excuses to watch this multiple times. So that's great.
Great publishing doesn't hide shoddy work
Guys what was wrong with the first video, i saw it in my notifications and when i went to watch it it was gone, then it got re uploaded and the title changed 🤷🏻♂️
Acdrew your good contractor god bless you,,,
Travis Davis another dislike? Please state what his shoddy work was? You do understand this was a road to a construction site, not a permanent structure. I have seen these built in my area countless times, most not this nice. The perfect leveled compacted and rolled gravel comes after the big trucks and excavators have finished. Maybe even a paved surface! But please state why this is shoddy work? No hate.......
The way you got your truck unstuck was INSANE and awesome! Nice work!
I can't believe that worked.
Insane. That's one word for it. Another would be stupid. Yet another would be irresponsible.
@@poppys3728 why do you think it was stupid or irresponsible? how would you have got it out of there?
Yard - A safer approach would have been to call someone to come help. Another would have been to pull it from the front using a chain or tow strap. Of course, by himself, there is the problem of not having a spotter/flagger for any traffic that may come along. The bottom line is leaving operating machinery like that is extremely dangerous. Any number of things could have gone wrong. He could have fell down and been run over.
Outstanding! Great earth moving work, videography, drone and music. Loved the before, during and after process. Very skilled work and I hope to see more videos soon. Thank you.

Believe it or not, this was the very first video I ever watched from Andy. Since then, I've probably watched 50+ more. And this one is in the top 5 for me. I also very much enjoyed him bracing the rock next to his building as well. I wish he would do a video on how he purchased his property, how he designed it, how he graded it to get that great flat area where the castle is, etc. etc. Come on Andy, give us some inside baseball type videos. We all love seeing your progression and how you got to where you are... John in Texas...

I'm a simple man, I see Mr. Camarata doing stuff. I hit like.

This is the video that I stumbled across first then never stopped watching afterwards
Bro you're crazy!!! You stop at nothing to get the job done.
Wow. I had no idea. 1 hour went by like 5 min. Fascinating process.
28:20
Normally, it first takes off the soft, top layer of soil (humus), and reveals a harder one. And only then, on this hard soil, rubble and wedge fall. Here it is clearly seen that the upper layer of the earth was not collected, so it is not surprising then that the truck got stuck on a freshly poured clump or crushed stone.
That's a good point about removing the topsoil. I had a residential driveway replaced last year. Since their machinery was sinking heavily into my soft clay soil, they excavated about 10-14" of soil throughout the length of the driveway. They then filled in with differing layers of rock. I was surprised by how deep they went, but it didn't add a lot of cost to the job. The National Asphalt Pavement Association does recommend 6-8" of base material. I realize the owner might not use asphalt, but your point about excavating the topsoil seems like good advice.
@@khakhananglastname745 sorry, but I write from Poland, and there are maybe some technological differents of USA and Poland way building
I know you are limited by the client/budget, however, this job had to be the bare minimum of clearing/compacting possible. I would have done a lot more prep before the fabric went down. Hopefully, this driveway stays solid.... though I have a feeling he'll be calling to get it resurfaced soon.
Probably a driveway with little/light use. Just trying to make a it a bit better than drive one the forrest ground.
The fabric helps... plus he used 2-5inch minus looks like
This man operates the excavator precisely as if using his bare hands. Just amazing !
Installing a driveway, making good time.. Homeowner : Hey im going to have a giant shipping container dropped off halfway through laying stone in the mud, on a hill. Thankssss
It probably wasnt planned that way. Im sure he was being paid by the hour so it didnt matter to him if he was moving dirt or a shipping container.
This is so well shot and satisfying to watch for some reason
The really cool music helps! : )
I'm a mid 60's woman & fascinated with these videos. I used to enjoy lotsa yard work when younger.
Imagine to work to get just one of those bigger stumps out by hand???
Andrew does it with the help of hydraulics in minutes. Great video.
I wouldn't do it by hand. I'd burn them or grind them.
Even with a big stump grinder that would take forever. A big excavator is the way to go!
@@garageworker I wouldn't be doing it by hand and If I didn't have an excavator I'd go with a grinder. As an after thought If I had no grinder then some Diesel fuel, a drill and big drill bit, lots of holes and a stick lighter or something hot enough to get the Diesel fuel to light.
It was a real pleasure to watch such a talented Plant Operator perform. The machine was simply an extension of his hands & feet ! It was like watching Sir Malcome Sargeant conducting !

Glad it worked out for you as well.
Lol yeah.. pretty crazy
I was working construction as a heavy equipment operator. I came on at the end of the job so I didn't know how far the road was finished. After work I drove my sleeper van to find out. Then I hit a spot of sand and got stuck.
I found a open cab Cat dozer with a chain to pull myself out but no one was there to help. it was a back road with no lights so no one would find me until morning. Well I had to put the dozer in first gear jump off run to the van climb in and steer myself out. Then jump out the van climb on the moving dozer to stop it.
Worked but I don't wanna try that again.
