I could sit here for hours watching Andrew's videos. Wait a minute, I AM sitting here watching video after video! Keep up the good work. Caring, planning ahead, attention to detail, it's all good.
I have never seen a trailer like that! There was some serious engineering in it!
Its a shed trailer and they're like $20-$30k but will move the trailer up/down, left/right, in/out. It has a set of wheels underneath perpendicular to the drive wheels that are hydro driven to align it for pickup and drop-off. Look them on youtube, very cool to watch in action.
@Melissa Susanne SISSY Ladyboy As of yet I have never seen a trailer like that!!! There was as of yet some serious engineering in it!!!
I fitted a thumb on my mini digger after seeing yours
Its best thing since sliced bread 👍
I give the bread credit for being the best thing for so long.
Drew you're the man. You are surgical with your equipment.
i do concrete flat work for a living, im not going to be that guy that says "do it this way next time" it was cool to see a vastly different approach to pouring out a slab! nice work and way to get the job done!
I wasn't happy with it too.
It's a shame people think this is how concrete is actually done ...
I agree with dereck I have been pouring for 16years and it's no way that they are getting this level to each their own I'm not criticizing anyone just not how I do it
i agree with all of you lol.
Nope, that's not how we pour either. bow floating the leaves in the concrete... lol
That drone outro was just amazing!!
Sure was but not sure I'd want a home between a busy interstate on one side and equally busy local road on the other. ;)
Spooked me lol..like this is where the killings will happen. The previous victims are under the slab..it’s a new beginning in this new garage and no one will hear the screams over the highway.
ｍｓんｂｃ
@@Bwatt5000 I got the EXACT same feeling! Spooky music lol
Andrew, you do it ALL , the right music and the speedup sequences and it is FUN to watch you do stuff and we learn....right to the END aerial shot !
I love the expanse views of the forest, so beautiful and peaceful.
That trailer for the shed was sick. Never saw anything like that before.
Great job. I enjoyed it. Thanks for posting Andrew.
Andrew, You knowledge and skill are wonderful to see in action. I am impressed with your energy as well! Please keep the videos coming! It is a great service!
Glad I watched to the end. That trailer shift left and right caught my eye. I used to back three trailers loaded with cargo at the airport into a tight space. Used the heavy forklift to shift the trailers left or right lol.
That shed trailer is pretty a pretty cool little trailer!
Yes, that trailer could do allot of different things. Great for getting a building like that into a difficult spot.
Side-shuffle is pretty clever.
@@AndrewCamarata I call them cheater trailers
@@hilham89 , I've seen videos (from film) from the 1940's when that was a proposed feature on production cars to help people parallel park.
First time I've ever seen a magical levitating trailer, that was cool.
As a CDL Driver, I must say I am impressed with the drivers out there who haul structures to job sites. No two jobs site ls are ever the same. Plus, learning to back up a trailer like that is an aquired skill by itself.
as a doo it your selfer I applaud him.. he didnt take the fancy test, he didnt spend thousands to hire a contractor, and will learn from every job as self taught people do.. the enjoyment of doing it yourself feel worth the flaws you may find.. it feels good to DIY
Nice job and a lot of work. I would have used a wet screed in the middle. I also used to cob up a vibrating screed by fastening a pencil vibrator to a 2x6.
Ciao Andrew. I forgot about your concrete skills. Bravo!
Pretty cool prefab garage. drop and ready to go AWESOME
It’s Called, Getting it Done👍👍👍 Garage will last your life time👍. Great job, Andrew!
Love those front discharge mixers you have in the USA. Smart!
Yeah, those trucks are nice, all wheel drive.
I spent about 24 years piloting Oshkosh front discharge mixers, and will say up front that the driver didn't do you any favors on that pour. If I had laid out a slab in that manner for any of the crews around here, they'd have drug me out of the cab and had a reckoning. However...it's just one of those experience things. :)
Those front discharge mixer kick-ass , it all depends on the experience of the driver they can make it easy for you and sometimes they can kick your ass
Omg this was mesmerizing, great choice in music unusual lot location.
i like your attention to detail customer like that , always looking forward to your new videos,
great job
Always fun watching you do a job .
Glad you showed the roads at the end! I thought it might have been a a quiet secluded place!
Nice job Andrew as always
Thanks
Andrew's videos never cease to entrance!
So nice to see in your follow-up video how well this held up. Our ground here in southern Oregon is not as rocky, very wet so we have lots of settling that strains everything. Nice to see an expert in upper New York terroir. Its all about the whole picture.
High end concrete work!!! Very high end Garage!!! Highest level of music!!! Owner clearly wanted a secure place to park his Pinto, or his wife's Pacer...
Nice work mate 👊🇦🇺
WOW! A trailer with a stern thruster! What a cool idea and a Labor saving device to boot.
Oh Snap I just realized this is the first Video that I first discovered your Channel and Work so many years ago. Keep up the great content and smart work.
Nice job! I had a dude build a slab for my garage. About an hour after he left for the day, a herd of deer walked through it...
i herd about that herd
just some cool decoration
@@badlarry172 Internet winner 2k19
A herd is just a herd, but the bird is the word
Wow that just made me nervous 😂
That trailer though!!! Pivot left and right without moving the truck. I need one of those!
Don't remember seeing this 1st time round. Still as good though. Don't know why but its really cool watching a base being laid down, I always enjoy seeing that. The owners must be delighted with the work, hope so. Thanks :)
Andrew, You are truly an artist with every machine you drive. It is amazing to watch your work created before my eyes. I also love the way your dog sticks with you and knows when to get out of your way. Reminds me of a German Shepard I had for years until cancer took him away.
doesnt walking on it while pouring push the mesh down? thank you so much 4 all the great vids, rik
F the slab.
Did you SEE THAT TRAILER?
Awesome!
Zain Z. Was the trailer not the coolest... my wife could park that shead with a few days training!!!
zian z we call that a full send !
How long before we see on on a certain channel we are now watching? 🤔
amazing work! helped me a lot with my garage! thank you!
good job man
that's a cool trailer, this isn't for everyone but when pouring concrete, if you have some left over fill 5 or 10 litre buckets with it and pour into rubbish bags, one bucket per bag, tie a knot in it and leave it on level ground, you end up with stepping stones.
Yeah, that trailer could do all kinds of things. That's an interesting idea. Might try that. But its pretty easy to just get real stones.
Nice no footers on the pad and no bolts in the concrete hope no tornadoes happen it will fly to Kansas
uKNOWuLIKE that How to move a container
uKNOWuLIKE that cool
Thank you for this reminder of why I do all my own work. For all the reasons already listed in the comment section from people who have a clue how to lay a concrete base properly I'd be horrified if I'd paid a contractor to do a job and they did it like this!
Perfect job, Andrew !!!
The last shot plus the music made me feel I was watching the ending to some horror movie lol
Hahahaha 😂😖😖
Yep. You don’t know exactly what crime had been committed but you know it will be 30 years before some old retired sheriff comes poking around and kicks up some gravel with his cowboy boots.

100% I Was going to comment on this very thing. Some strange mystery/ Dragnet uneasy feeling lol!
fastest garage “build” I’ve ever seen!
S
This is the fastest garage “build” I’ve ever seen!
@@danluca7271 ннйннн
thanks for sharing Andrew
Nice work...I like how one screed across on one side then the floater takes it from there. Skill.
Thats not skill that's half assed.
Beautiful job, especially on the pad and hats off to the shed delivery guy!!
I thought all the organic supposed to be removed before pouring the slab right??
nope that is only if u are leveling or building a house with heat in the floors i think
Yes! Allways! Especially in cold regions. But this is USA. Land of the free, home of the questionable building norms.
That's what I thought too
Any organic material left underneath with eventually decompose, leaving a void. Proper building technique requires all organics to be removed. This includes grass, topsoil, roots etc.
That trailer was BADAZZ !!! Who ever invented that thing, knew exactly what they wanted and probably had it sketched out for blueprints. Amazing how great it set that shed or garage.
Love your work. Another great job.
There is a lot to be learned from the discussion in some of the more detailed and informative comments. Thanks to the authors of those comments, and to Mr. Camarata for providing a basis for the more informed comments with his post.
Wow..... You have a lot of subscribers, but I can't imagine why? This is only the second video of yours I have watched, and your overall concrete work leaves a lot to be desired. Looking at those bullfloat marks every day would drive me crazy.
Awesome job, love the shots with that drone, well done.
Your videos are fantastic, thanks.
this is like painting autos. many know how while sitting on cans watching you do it.
Curt Ray So true!!! I was thinking the same thing. Everybody is master craftsmen, until they are asked to do something and then they go get on CZcams like the rest of us. LOL 😂 YOU HAVE TO LOVE ALL THESE KEYBOARD WARRIORS!!!
I cant seem to find anyone where i live that can do a halfway decent job on anything.......apparently they are all trolling people doing it themselves on you tube. Now I know!! Looks great to me, I'd be totally happy with it!
Scott McEllhiney well that just shows a fool and his money are parted easy, that building and slab will be lucky to last 10 years . The bottom plate will sit in water
Check your contractors for any Better Business Bureau ratings and/or activity. Also check for reviews on "Home Advisor" site, "Angies List", and your town's Chamber of Commerce (if that is what its called), etc. . If the contractor is to do plumbing and/or electrical work, for example, check them for licenses. Ask friends and relatives about them too.
This is piss pour job. None of the edges are finished. You can see huge stride marks from the Fresno. It was burned in(shine finish) to stop the freeze thaw. No proper compaction underneath slab. No joints cut. That shit would be getting ripped out on any job site around this area.
Scott call me up ill come and slop some concrete on the ground and not finish for ya anytime. I love stupid customers!
Oh thank god you have a video on this!
Great job mate , enjoyed the video .
I think you did a great job. to many youtube out of work inspectors & builders on here. Great Job Andrew !
No just concrete men with 20 plus years experience. But who would want to listen to those guys right? Just watch a video of a kid that doesn't know what he's doing and tell him the terrible job he just posted is great. No participation trophies in the big boy world playa.
Ppl , bitching about the creat pour...lol
99% of all customers / ppl.
" How cheap can we do this? "
Great scenery
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL JOB, IN A BEAUTIFUL AREA.......WONDERFUL
My neighbor had a contractor do this same exact thing. Never removed grass just dumped Stone and formed. Poured 6" of concrete and left. After winter he called me to come see his pad, which I did and I was just shocked to see it cracked and parts sunk. He ended up explaining how the inspector told him it would be fine. Along with the contractor. Of course the contractor went by the engineers plans so he said. I ended up cleaning up the mess and starting over. Which cost him more but I explained that he got what he paid for. Now he has a nice pad with a 24x30 garage on. And is extremely happy with me for steering him in the right direction. If my reps on the line then it gets done right, even if in the end I only brake even on it at least my reputation is still good. To me I'd rather save my reputation then cut corners. Not trying to sound like a dick trust me. I like the work you do, and you are an excellent operator. I know what its like to deal customers that want the best but only want to spend peanuts to get it. Lol
"Break", not Brake. "Than", not Then.
go back to english lessons mate its you tube people tune in to see and experience others lives ..maybe get one yourself ...not an advocate of the trolls
The only trolls are the ones worrying about speeling and gramer.
Keerful now, lee has built many a concrete deck and not one has ever cracked or shifted. In addition his majestic Lincoln Log homes are world renowned! ;)
Like they say you only get what you paid for. If the owner didn't have the money to do it right it's not his fault. And as far as a guarantee goes yes it will crack. Guaranteed. That's what expansion joints are for. Give him a break.
Everyone complaining about the concrete, it's just a garage, not a 4 bedroom bungalow, it's more than adequate for that purpose . . I swear, if the world ever needed an expert, they would be found in the youtube comments..
you do understand therm 'capillary action', right?
A OK you shouldn’t need to say “no offense” with this statement, stop being such a pussy. The lazy ass who posted this doesn’t think long term apparently.
Ian Graham
I am an expert CZcams comment writer and I feel you were lazy with that comment.
@@Maddiethebaddieeee Bullshit. Look at that finish. Its complete crap. What is your standard for work, SHIT?
If I gave this job to a new man and he said he could accomplish it and I came out to the site and saw this, I would cut him his first and last payroll check from my company and tell him to get off the job site.
I would then get a crew out there to demo the his garbage and do it right the first time. And I'm not even mentioning the fact there are no footings excavated for this job.
My daughter who never did a lick of concrete work can run a fresno or even a bull float across that mud and end up with a better finish than that mess.
I knew it was going to be a shit job when I saw the half-assed effort to screed it and then the cat fiddle farting around with the trowels not knowing what he was doing. And to top it off he didn't even edge the job. It's complete shit.
Anybody that defends this bullshit never worked real, licensed construction contracting.
i am daddy pig and i am quite the expert on the matter
Great video! You covered from the beginning to the end. Most other videos don't do that.
That is very beautiful country!
NY State is very beautiful, if you ignore the cesspool below the TZ Bridge.
Love your videos. You do fun projects
Well done!
Thanks
That's an awesome trailer it was delivered on
Nicely done !
Wow man, GREAT camera work! A lot of hard work went into making this video happen. Loved the ending by the way, when the drone rolls out and catches a glimpse of the sky. Cheers!
You said screw the screeding halfway through and started with the fresno lol
Tripp ya. Not impressed
@@roncarter508 How would you know he slab is flat from edge to edge? Smooth, sure.
@Jason Young Exactly
That concrete truck is a game changer!!
Excellent... That will outlast Us all for sure...
What a strange place to live ...with two busy highways on each side of the property
Albert Einstein must be as noisy as hell.
must be polluted as hell!
Well indeed noisy, but ev cars are pushing out all gas operated vechiles so in 20 years you wont hear them anymore, maybe just an old bike :)
Arturas1244: Don’t hold your breath on that.
House probably predates those highways
If you get a mixer that has a tight slump like that on initial start and you ordered a 5 inch slump it generally means that the driver either did not slump it correctly or it was batched with dry aggregate which is not good for the concrete or you nice job though I was a mixer driver and batcher for fifteen years
Or, it means the driver stoped for breakfast.
Nice video Andrew, thanks.
A good job well done top man 🇬🇧🇺🇸
That shed trailer is really cool how it can move around
yeah it uses something called wheels, check it out!
Its a cheater trailer
I'm pretty sure the owner isn't going to live in this garage 😂 for all the bad comments I'm just letting y'all know she isn't living in that garage! Good work Andrew!
They had no idea what to do. Kmsl they gave up with the screed board skipped the float went straight to the Fresno and nobody hit the edges lmao ooh and they didn't have a grade to start with SMH
You’re very good with your equipment!
it's so interesting to watch this!
I like the location of the property, between two highways. Nice.
What did you say??
I couldn't hear you with all this HIGHWAY TRAFFIC!!
ha
I imagine that shed will be long gone and that slab will be there forever.
Andrew if you will get an edger and go around the edge of your concrete slab it will keep the edge from breaking and being ruff.
That was a beautiful shot at the end
Anyone else notice they poured that shit on topsoil as well as an area that he just dug a stump out of? It’s gonna sink and crack and drop. SMH
All these so called experts are the ones who do a perfect job by their own personal opinion for someone and the homeowner has a problem with the job and never come back to fix or address the complaint ..... Keep doing what your doing Andrew no one is perfect on this earth.....live n learn you can't please everyone.....right haters!
smart you had a crew to help you this time and also woooo the attack of the leafs
The rock backdrop in the area you live/work in is awesome, wish we had that kinda stuff
Yeah, I like those cliffs.
Nice work... I just noticed your excavator has a mechanical thumb...That makes some the things you do with it even more impressive!
ps: I really wish the pre-fab folks weren't so cheap with their buildings. With no real eves or gable overhang the walls on that new garage will take full brunt of the weather. You'll be tearing it down too in 10 years.
Well hopefully it last longer than that.
You can always add on gutters later. They don't travel well.
Okay, I'll be "that guy ... "
Reinforcement mesh should be suspended up IN the concrete (it does its job a lot better there).
That being said, my dad (God rest him) told me this... "concrete does two things reliably... it dries and it cracks... period." (Dad poured a lot of slabs in his day)
Good video. Nice looking garage and slab.
I guess as well that in your dad's days, the technology of additives in concrete wasn't as developed as it is today. I do agree about the first part tho :D
I hear u wilson, he does nice things xcavating but terrible. Concrete, 33 years here with con
That view at the end was beautiful.
When you sign the front of the check then you may comment. Other wise try crochet. Love the drone and kinda reminds me of Arkansas.
Please start screeting your concrete before you bow float it works the concrete down especially on the edges which makes it easier for a better finish without ripples it's more work but the end results are way better
Give him a break He was only one working , Guy in the red sweater was totally useless. Concrete was starting to set , Raked it as close as he could then bull floated the heck out of it .
@@paulgagnon8396 But he said "please" so...
If You make reinforcement like that in Russia You will make all work for free and redo it. It's useless.
It s a chicken coop 🤣
Nice job, still catching up, thought I has seen most. The screeding looked tricky with the leaves !
COOL Trailer! Check out that sideways action!
Did they send you a hot load or something? The slump on that concrete is gnarly.
It was coming out too dry at first, and got stuck on the shoot.
that came out like 4 slump to dry
The guy should have rev'd up and charge spun the drum when he got there and then checked his slump.
