Give that concrete truck expert a raise. Gotta love it when a man is willing to literally jump in with both feet and not only help but to instruct. Hats off to that man.
Pretty sure the concrete truck driver and concrete company are followers of Andrew. Plus likely an old buddy. When you know Andrew has 1.3 M followers I’m guessing the concrete company was happy to provide a few minutes of free labor.
He literally rode the concrete down the chute. Props.
Hopefully they threw a few bills his way... This job was the literal definition of $100/hr for me to do it, $200/hr for you to watch me do it, and $300/hr for you to help me do it...
Twice as much bracing would have done a stellar job on that shop .
Plus two on the door alone .
Amen , what a wonderful driver and hard worker !!!
The concrete mixer lorry driver is a true professional who clearly takes pride in what he does! From the moment he smiled as he petted the dogs, to the way he spread a layer for the metal grid and then jumping out to demonstrate and teach to helping to level out the concrete slab. This is the kind of person you want on site. I hope he watches and reads all of the comments that are praising him.
Yeah, that guy was good.
In 40 years of construction I have never seen a concrete truck driver EVER help with anything. I figured he was a friend of everyone there to be honest. Upstate seems to be a small town place, and Andrew is of course well known up there. Regardless, driver was top notch guy!@@AndrewCamarata
hire him full time @@AndrewCamarata
And fire the dude driving the bobcat skid steer lol
@@krynicalg3825 almost made a drive Thu separating back wall
I've been a commercial construction Superintendent for a long time and never once have I ever seen a concrete delivery guy help finish the concrete. This guy is one of a kind! Hats off to him.
Guys in our area (Western Illinois) are ready to help every time. Especially if it's a solo pour.
Probably wanted to get out of there quicker.
@@MrErichonda30 If he wanted to get out of there quicker he would have just poured the mud, cleaned his chutes, and left. Most mixer drivers get paid by the hour and milking it on easy jobs like this eats up the day rather than going and getting load after load.I know because I also drive a mixer lol. No need to have to wait for the concrete to be finished. Once the truck is empty/mud on the ground the job is done for the Operator.
@@MrErichonda304 REPLIES
In Connecticut I usually see them help on residential at least, obviously they can't stick around long always but usually there's a guy running the truck and another guy running the chute or pour and helping it
As a fellow mixer truck driver I really enjoy these pouring videos. The Operator did a fantastic job and was ready to jump in and help. I'm assuming he's probably another buddy of Andrew's. I see the same crews on a weekly basis, and the crews that I am close with(respect) I have no problem getting out of the truck and helping them puddle/screet mud. It's always satisfying helping a crew out that is under staffed or just new to the game in general. A lot of mixer driver's won't get out of their truck, so it's refreshing to see this guy help.
Yeah, that guy was nice.
@@AndrewCamarata We appreciate your content Andrew. Keep it coming!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a driver get out and help with a pour like that. He really went above and beyond. That’s awesome.
Fourty years as a construction manager/inspector and never saw a concrete driver help with the screeding and raking….good old boys in upstate New York!
@@michaelcomer6491Yes Sir , never see that before either !!!
Probably a big fan of Andrew!
Its not uncommon, I had one help me and my two adolescent boys with a garage approach and sidewalk when it became apparent we were unprepared !
Monkey and a football
I have never seen a driver do what this guy did; I hope the homeowner gave him a tip and took the time to compliment him to his management.
Yes, that guy was good.
Looks like the 99 truck was from Bonded Concrete with a great guy who did a excellent job for the customer. The first thing he did when he got out of the truck was greet the dogs.🐾. Definitely a good person and his company is lucky to have a dedicated worker like him.
I might have helped if he knew he was going to be seen by millions of people on video.
@@327JohnnySS The boss probably got mad at him for taking too long, ya know what rich wankers are like..
@@johnhaines6546highly doubt that was his motivation. He seemed to love the work too much. Very hard to fake that for a camera.
The way Andrew manages to keep so many projects updated and in his pocket until the whole thing is ready is truly remarkable.
Honestly it's impressive how you keep up with footage from long term projects such as this. Great content Andrew!
By the title he clearly categorizes his footage impeccably. Hahaha. Fuckin Andrew Camantra!
@@Agustin-jo8mv Fuckin' Andrew Camarata!*
@@Agustin-jo8mv2 REPLIES
Kudos to the concrete truck driver for jumping in and lending a hand. Most drivers around here barely deign to get out of the cab.
He looks like he was probably a concrete laborer that became a redi-mix driver based on his skill with a come-along😂
Plus he watered down his equipment before and after the the job. He also helped and taught others about how to pour a good slab. A true gentleman with great work ethics in and out of the truck. The first thing he did when he got out of the truck was to greet the dogs.🐾
That was the most unconventional way to move a building. I can’t believe it never broke apart
Yeah everyone around here has a dolly on one end. That said those are all on wooden floors and much more sturdy
esp with 2 skidsteers, the sawzall of excavation!
It did break, did you see the door frame? LOL for anyone watching that is the worst way to move something like that especially when he has a flatbed that could have moved that very safely and without damage
@@davidkrappenschitz253 I experienced a feeling of utter cringe at the way they braced that building - absolute rubbish. Should have had 6 x 6 or bigger sleepers under each side - then they could have used Andrew's other favourite moving method - skull drag......
Suppose a crane may have been better? Those walls are shot now. Then again, I was not there, and I have not done this to a building before :-)
That concrete guy really warmed my heart, to think some folks like him still exist, not seen in a long time.
You amaze me Andrew. I watch you pour gravel and I believe you could pour a level depth within one inch of grade just by using your track loader. What an artist. From your camera angle the screed board and bull float both looked like they were over 24 ft. long. I was impressed that the driver washed it even after he had helped you screed the slab. Obviously a heck of a video project recorded over several years. There aren't many on CZcams like this. It's great that you let us watch this project come together. Thanks a million!
Thank you.
@@AndrewCamarata "Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum to place it and I shall move the world " Archimdes
the truck driver helping with the pour what a legend
Yeah, that guy was good.
Having Andrew work on your property, or driving the concrete truck to one of Andrew's jobs must be like meeting a Rockstar ;> When I wear my Camarata shirt I run into a LOT of fans of the channel and I'm always so surprised that it's not just young guys. He's popular to all ages and stations of life.
That is cool to hear.
@@AndrewCamarata Im tellin' you Andrew, you are popular and talented, time to leverage that youtube horsepower to make some positive changes to your life. Id love to see you drive a crown vic in one of Cleetus' races!
@@AndrewCamarata It's not just men who watch your channel! I am a 72 year old woman, and I LOVE your channel!! I have to watch it right away, too! Your videos are great entertainment, and I've learned a few things along the way. You've also scared me to death with some of your "antics" numerous times. But, I'll keep watching! Thanks, Andrew!!
My 82 year old mum watches…. Has done for years she tells me…. Only told me a few weeks ago…. Very cool
@@AndrewCamarataI’m a finn living in Estonia and a lot of my finnish friends watch your videos. No wonder you got 1,3 million subs.
I can’t imagine how you manage to keep all that camera footage organized for videos that take several years to film.
I love it when you are in the mood of editing. Thanks for the videos.
I have a pretty organized system. Thanks.
@@AndrewCamarata Would you consider making a video on your system? I've always wondered a good way to easily access all the different angles/shots you take.
My file structure: Year/Date, project description/ then each day gets a folder with date/description.
@@AndrewCamarata gotta love Andrews has never been a “like for part two kind of guy” parts 1 2 and 3 all in one video as they should. props to you for keeping up with it for us
You are welcome. I usually wont watch videos that are part 1 2 3. So I make my videos so they tell a full story.
Me an OSHA supervisor, happen to love all the shady stuff that occurs with the garage moving. I appreciate your "just get it done" approach. This is nothing compared to the dumpster fires I've seen in while out on sites.
You could really tell the level of operator skill between the two, not dogging anyone just thought it was really funny how quick Andrew cleaned up the propane tank hole once he hopped in the other excavator
Totally agree on that one, been a machine operator over 46 years....
A suggestion on the building moves with two pieces of equipment: The person who can't see the interior is the leader. The person who can see the interior is the follower. Connect a strip of construction tape between corners and the follower can watch that tape for sagging and stretching to see when they need to speed up or slow down. The leader follows the direction of the ground guide.
Best keystone cops movie I've seen in a long time
@@phillipjones3342 i would have edited that move out.
and they could use phones with earbuds to communicate,..
They screwed that building up to the point the owner had to rebuild it. I've seen Andrew do some sketchy things and get away with most......but this was so bad that I was embarrassed for him.
Totally agree. 😣
Love to see the truck driver not only teaching but also helping, he is a one in a million! Nice job guys
Does the concrete mixer driver have a CZcams channel? If he doesn't, he most certainly should. Mad props to him, a true professional. He's got my sub. 👍
Spent 20 years on sites... never seen a concrete operator that helpful... ever. Id request that dude for every pour.
So many sketchy things in this episode...but that's what brings us back. In the end, everything turned out great. Keep 'em coming.
Thanks.
Shoutout to that concrete driver, I’ve been doing for 6 years and never has a driver helped with raking. Dudes a true gem, hope you see this man!
Considering the equiptment used and how the building was braced i think there was very minimal damage to it , we always added at least 4 sections of X bracing with one in the garage door and lagged 4x4s all way around the lower perimeter to every other stud. We have used tractors with forks and skidsteers to move many buildings and a few were old log buildings, we have 3/4” anchor loops welded on the skid plates and chain the two skid steers together so the outside guy can pull the lead to keep the slack out and maintain the same distance between them and chain is out the way of the arms.
Mad props to the concrete truck operator also, awesome guy and should be in the commercial for how to give 110% for the companys image and customer support/satisfaction. If he sees this, hats off to you my man.
I think it would have worked for that building even tho its bigger than anything i have moved, but i like to use 2 pieces of equipment, pick up the building, back up a trailer and set it on the trailer then move around, and offload the same way.
he definitely almost broke it multiple times, but once they hit their stride it went back square nicely
Thanks for the video Andrew. My wife started a CZcams channel 6 months ago, almost has a 1,000 subscribers 👍 I didn’t realize how much work you put into making your videos and the money it costs for drones, computers, software, cameras and time it takes to make 1 video. I don’t know how long it takes you to create and upload a video but she spends about 8hrs a day making videos to upload every 3 days or so. I appreciate your hard work. I had no clue the time and money you invest in making videos for everyone to watch. I appreciate it🙂
What's her channel? Let's give it a boost...
Yeah that’s a great idea
You guys got it done. A lot of stress to that building... It turned out fine though. The easiest way we've moved a few garages is to back a flatbed trailer inside. Jack it up, build and brace off of the flatbed and haul it away... Makes it super easy to maneuver and put in place.
Great video, Andrew! Good on the concrete driver for helping you in your time of need! There are still some good people out there.
Glad to see all the comments are focused on the driver (I feel bad using that term in this situation)! Tons and tons of props to that man for not only getting out of the truck to lend a seemingly much needed hand, but to also take the time to give some advice!!
Operator is a better word to use. At least that's what I prefer. When ppl ask I say I am a Mixer Truck Operator.
@@Shredderof_POWDAagreed, driving is only 1/4 of his responsibilities. I labored for a crew for a few years and also did testing and inspection for 5 years, seen both ends of the spectrum but never this.
40:30 fuggin awesome! Very rare to see a Crete truck driver pitch in and finish a pour. He’s a good guy
Winter time is video time, love the increased number of videos during this time of year!
I hope you're well, Andrew!
You still thinking about a new castle on the hill? :)
Yes, I want to do a castle on the hill.
The man in the high castle
@@AndrewCamarata
I'm really looking forward to it!
@@AndrewCamaratamake it from bricks, not container this time. And insulate it.
Andrew your filming and editing skills including the scenes with your kiddos is top notch! Kudos to the slump truck driver, very rare when they do anything.
Kudos to the concrete truck driver for jumping in and helping. Another awesome project - thanks Andrew for taking us along for the ride. 💪👍🏼
That is the first time I have ever seen a cement truck driver help so much. GOOD GUY.
Yeah, that guy was good.
I'm sure Andrew is testing out his new editing software with the recent amount of videos lately. Bring it on AC. We're loving it.
No, it’s winter time, so can’t really do many jobs outside, so he edits videos instead and we get loads more during the super cold months.
I have been in the mood to edit video lately. There should be another good one up by the end of the week.
@@AndrewCamarata What software do you use to edit the videos ?
Adobe Premiere.
@@AndrewCamaratahell yeh. Bring it on.
Impressive long-tail project. Love seeing all the footage you organize across time for a given project. Keeps me coming back. Well done.
One way or another Andrew will get what ever it is to its resting place. Good video and like you said in the video it’s been a few yrs in the making. It’s great to see the driver getting into doing some of the work on the pour.
I’m having a hard time understanding how and why none could tell that there pallet forks were not level and that they were poking holes in the ceiling. After they finished the building with the new siding it looks wonderful. The whole place is coming along slow but steady and looking 👀 good
That's one dedicated mixerdriver. Hat off to him!
He doesn't want to see the job done wrong. That's why.
Once again I had a long day and to come home to an Andrew video is just the medicine I needed! Thanks Andrew!
I've been in construction for almost 40 years, and I have NEVER seen a concrete truck driver that was THAT helpful. Not all heroes wear capes, some have an orange beanie..
Must be where you are from then lol. Up here in N Idaho most of the younger drivers at my plant will get out and help the crews that give respect to drivers/operators. I see/pour for crews on a weekly basis, so I get out and help the crews out that deserve it. The yelling/cranky crews don't get much help. Keep that in mind and build relationships with your mixer drivers.
@@Shredderof_POWDA Just My observations. I'm not in civil work, I've just watched enough pours, and haven't ever seen someone ever do it.
It is nice to know that such drivers exist though.
Andrew, I am a huge fan of your videos and their content. As much as I love watching your videos, this one was a bit painful for me. Just a suggestion to maybe lift the building and back a trailer under it for your next building move. Much less stress on the building that way.
Just a tip on pouring concrete. Start the pour from the back. Screed and lift the metal grid as you work your way to the front. Have a person fill in the low spots as you move backwards. An experienced truck operator, like the one you had, can put the concrete where you need it with a lot less work for you having to move concrete around.
Andrew always has great videos.
I think he could have used about 20-30 Amish men to move the building. They do phenomenal building moving in their communities.
That's just it, there is no white community. Everyone is brainwashed by TV and they hide behind curtains and materialism.
This is the comment I was looking for
I've pulled enough straight edge to know an experienced rake man is worth his weight in concrete or 🥇🥇. Everybody thinks pouring concrete is so easy. Not if you want a quality job when you're done it isn't. Nice quality job Andrew. And you did it the hard way. Love of the videos lately keep it up
Great vid Andrew. I never had a concrete driver help me. What a cool dude.
Very well done putting all those clips, across all those years, into one story. Also thank the snow for giving us these videos! Love ya!
Wow that driver is awesome. I hope he got a good tip. You don’t find that very often a driver helping like that.
It warms my heart to see family working together.
Nice job on the pour! The key was to set all the bracing below the top of the form so your screed board could run along the top with no obstructions.
Without Andrew there, I don't know if the driver would've been as willing to help out. Either way, it's good that he did! lol
That burnt siding is interesting. Does it need to be sealed? Thanks Andrew
The ones that I’ve seen have had a matte finish sprayed on them.
I’m a 52 yr old woman, and I must tell you… it really is a beautiful thing of wonder to watch real men working together like this and outside in the blistering cold. 😮💨
I have *so much respect* for the incredibly hard jobs that men do to support their families. It’s men like you who built this country. Thank you so much for all that you do, gentlemen. 🇺🇸❤️🔥💯
I’ve never seen a concrete driver get involved. That dude was legit.
Sometimes I have a hard time keeping up with all of Andrew's videos. But they are all so good it's a wonderful problem to have. Andrew you did this concrete job before? I recognize the porch on that shed as something you worked on I think.
I think you are right , it gives me a chuckle watching him move this though as I have some done the same b4 ona smaller scale! Build and later decide that I wanted it in a different spot! Now I build stuff on skids when I can so it’s easier to relocate!
All his recent videos cover more than a year and overlap such that it's hard to know which girl he's got slaving for him at the present time.....
You have done a lot of work at this place. Getting big windows up the driveway, building a new driveway, I think you also worked on the yard a while ago. And now you are teaching the owner how to use tools. A friend in need ...
Thank you Andrew for all that you do to produce these videos to entertain us! I think this is only the second Or third time I’ve ever left a comment. But I just wanted To let you know that, No matter what you post, this old man enjoys your videos as much now as I did when I first found you years ago.
Thank you, Andrew!
Thats one hell of a good dude thats driving the concrete truck. he helped not only putting the mud on the ground. but also helped rake and puddle it out with you. drivers done ever get out of the front loader trucks down here in florida. until they are empty..😂
concrete delivery guy is an absolute legend for going above and beyond on this job, good on him.
Cool video Andrew. We had an ambitious concrete truck driver like that here back in the day. He owns his own concrete company now.
keeping some 2 years old clip just to have a continuous video is a rare thing on youtube. You are one of a kind andrew.
It's kind of amazing to me how Andrew holds onto footage from projects over the course of months or even years before he puts out a video of that job or project.
Nice work, that was truly a miracle that you moved that garage twice and it’s still standing 👍
Wrong way. 😏
Build simple sled.
Drag it.
Nuther lovely one. That concrete guy couldn't have been any more helpful than he was, just the sort of guy you need for a task such as laying foundations or footings, whatever. That video was over two years old with the updates and time spent on other things by the owner. The whole place will be fantastic in a couple of years when its all done. Good on you Andrew ..... MORE ! :)
Bonded concrete company Colonie NY. Your driver is a real asset to your company. I hope he gets the respect and remuneration he deserves for such a top notch service
Wow moving that shed was very ambitious. Well done.
Pretty easy digging compared to what we normally see!
Cody is a typical supervisor , standing and running around looking at everybody else working .
Andrew, You amaze me. I know of no other tuber that would go to the time and patience it takes to do such a long term video. Thanks
Thank you.
very impressed with the concrete truck guy helping out
I don’t think you have any kids but I just wanna say thank you for teaching the youth an actual way to be constructive to society and their own future.
A lot of fatherless boys out there will never get the guidance they need to be men. Lifting ppl like you help ppl like them. Too many terrible idols today.
Keep it up man. Been here since like 40k and always love the content.
Thank you.
Best concrete truck driver ever, most sit in the cab like a slug.
Good wrap up at the end, nice project in the end.
This vid covers several years! So refreshing to see a youtuber take their time, not just rush some forced 10:01 video every day where they've clearly ran out of stuff to post. This is maybe the best channel on all of youtube!
It's always a good day when Andrew uploads a new video
lol at the truck driver doing concrete work. what a legend
Great content once again Andrew, can I ask what camera are you using around 33mins as it’s got a real nice look to it
Watching the 2 skid steers work together to move the structure reminded me of dancing. When I do any ballroom dancing, that connection with your partner is what keeps you equidistant from each other to create your frame/dance space. You guys were doing that, remaining connected (just like ballroom dancers)all without being able to see each other. When you dance, you can see your partner so it’s easy.
What you guys did amazes me. You remained connected somehow. I’m just not sure how!
the problem with using two skid steers seems to be that they have to be moving at the exact same speed so there's no stress on the building.
I think putting metal plates on the jacking spots of one skid steer so the building would be pushed by one skid steer and would slide on the other skid steer. that way you could have different speeds on the skid steers and maybe the building would just slide on the other set of forks, reducing the stress on the building.
I wonder if chaining them together would help.
Christmas has come early this year thanks to Andrews flurry of uploads I almost feel guilty devouring so many content treats this past couple of weeks! Thank you Andrew at this rate along with some crafty shorts you should be at 2 Million subs by Christmas, maybe even a snow filled Castle-Christmas treat complete with a snowy yule log loop atop the Camarata Mountain!
That concrete delivery guy reminds me of of how every delivery person helped us out in Michigan in the 70's. That was just the way they worked on house construction sites.
Kudos to the concrete guy lending a hand and teaching at the same time. Job turned out perfect. Enjoy the longer videos Andrew the bigger projects are cool to follow along. Keep up the great work
GREAT TO SEE MORE OF YOUR VIDEOS AGAIN!!!
Dude, well done. Smashing the vids out.
A set of walkie talkies is needed . Communicate with other operators
I guess he needs his bank balance topped up .
@@galdessa1 don't be a hater.
Thanks for the video Andrew it was a very good one and the shed or garage Stay together .
Love these types of videos❤ keep em coming. Great job 🎉
Andrew never ceases to amaze me with the work he does.
Andrew, you and your machines are one! Together like a well oiled machine, never a wasted motion. Great video!
What a beautiful site. Thanks for sharing the location and much fine work.
Hallo Andrew
i am a dump truck driver from germany.
I love your videos.
Thank you very much sharing your work with us.
I look forward to a new video every time.
Many greeting from germany
Moving that building that way was about the scariest thing I've seen lately......yikes
That truck driver is one in a million, well done!
I can not imagine how you manage to keep all that camera footage organized for video that take several year to film. Great content Andrew.
Great job Andrew however post bull floating it why don’t you roll the edges and saw cut the slab, also we use thicker redo here in Australia to prevent cracking
Andrew, use magnesium bull floats from now on, you will thank me later, the different tops with multiple edges allow you to put weight on them. This allows you to open up and finish concrete better to get it nice and flat
Great driver. Hope he got a big tip!
awesome as always.thanks for sharing and taking us along.
Andrew has vastly improved in his slab pouring capabilities.
My fav youtuber Andrew! Greetings from Norway😊
Buy a mag float, it is the first thing you should hit the mud with after you screed. The steel glazes it over. In the area I live in , we call that a slab not a foundation. You aren't below the frost line. I've had awesome drivers like that. Dude went above and beyond.
Another amazing video. Two and a half years - long time span for the project, and the video. Well done!
Impressive, so much effort it took to move this garage and finally build an almost new one. Clever.
That building being moved is me trying to get through life at the moment. It might not look good but we got there in 1 piece 😂
Props to everyone, but especially the concrete driver.
Thanks for sharing the period and timeframe; it was super interesting to watch and, of course, the concrete truck driver was quite the trooper.
Great Job Andrew and friend. moved the small garage to the spot after the pad was built. Cody and Blue had fun with the other dogs.
