Your videos are addictive. As a farmer kid from the 1950s we had to do a lot of creative things with buildings, digging coal, moving animals, planting and harvesting. But we were limited with the machinery we could afford. You do most if not all of your work alone with good equipment. Makes me want to go back and relive my days. Good job.
Hey this is what I'm doing now. Only difference is I tore out the old wood bridge and home owner wanted cheap but stronger. So I took the bed off my 21 foot tiltbed and welded pipe under it. Welded bolt flange plates to them, then I built abutments out of them 2 ton concrete blocks. Drilled and bolted bridge to them. Stoned both ends. Inspector come today with member from fish and boat commission to check it out. They actually where stunned how well it turned out. I have to finish it up with hand rails but now the homeowner can drive his skid steer across it without scaring himself. Lol i drove my truck with dozer and backhoe across it twice just to show him the weight it would take. I take on any job I can, but I do have to say that it would be great to work beside you. You have the skills work ethic that not to many people have now a days. I work alone most of the time. But if I need help my wife jumps right in and will operate or run truck. He'll couple weeks ago she was knees deep in septic as we were doing an emergency repair to a customer's septic system at 3:00am. Best part she had her hair and nails done day before but not once bitched she is like me with the "do what you got to do to get the job done" attitude. Lol keep up the great work.
Thanks. Yeah a truck bed could make a nice bridge, it kind of sounds like you have a truck missing a bed now though. Shipping containers make nice covered bridges if you cut out the back wall.
Andrew Camarata I turned my old truck into a service truck with crane and welder. It's more useful now then it was as a tiltbed. At least now it pays for itself 100%.
"You do what you gotta do" has gotten me going up the hill, on many occasions. There's a new phrase going around now, which is, "get er done", but I like the old one better.
As usual I’m spending the weekdays watching some older posts from Andrew in anticipation of what’s coming this weekend, your uploads are great every time no matter how many times I watch them, thanks again Andrew!
I believe this young man can do most anything, he puts his mind to it. I really enjoy watching him do all these things with his tools and his beautiful dogs.
KUDOS !! they're ALL so good ... you've inspired me , over & over again to tackle the largest outdoor builds/repairs of my life . your calm style and great music make it FUN to learn !
@will86 while I agree with what you've said about the bridge I'd say it's more down to the property owner being cheap and not paying enough to get it done properly than andrew trying to cut corners, in all the time I've watched him hes never been one for half doing things, like even replacing his brake lines for copper ones
Your music is generally much better than what one hears on most CZcams videos. I was blown away the other night to hear one of my favorites--Beethoven's 5th--on one of your videos; but personally, I would rather hear the sound of the machinery. Can the music. Obviously, you put a hell of a lot of work and thought into your videos which I enjoy immensely! You're a jack-of-all-trades, it would seem, and a master of many. Keep up the good work.
That was cool! Did you rent the excavator, or do you own it, just out of curiosity? We're about to buy 10 acres of land, and I'm dreaming of all the stuff I want to get on my wish list for taking care of the property.
True. Would it be totally out of line to ask what I might expect to buy something similar? (and how many hours you got yours with???) Don't mean to be rude, but don't have any idea what to expect.
WOW, must have some hours on it then, right? I about fell out of my chair when I asked about a newer backhoe (like about 2200hrs) parked near my house, they were asking like $68,000!!!! I said, thanks, but it's out of my budget...
great vid did you get that shale(I think that's what it is) from your property? looks like it's all over the place up there. alot of sand down here in south jersey. thanks!
3:23 Andrew, you put stones under these wooden beams, give them more, because the water will wash out and the stones will disappear from there, and then the bridge will be flooded again, or sunk.
The owner probably knows that as well as Andrew; its probably what happened with the previous bridge. Ever think that this is the cheapest fix which will last 7-10 yrs?
Nicely done, though a bed of the shale rock first then the two abutment logs on top would of been the way to go at first but to each their own and salvaging the previous bridges wood saved a lot of cash/labor for the owner.
Now put a little leaf litter on it so it’s not obvious. I can’t wait to see what you catch! 😬 I wouldn’t drive your Dodge over it. LOL Great video! Thanks Andrew!
Love your videos!! But I was wondering how do you bid your jobs? I’m starting a side Business and I don’t know what’s the best way to bid the jobs I’m looking at.
Хорошая работа, я почти этим же занимаюсь своя мини техника хитачи40, бобкет 175 к стати соленоид и у меня тоже вышел из строя , раньше тоже как и ты один всё делал, где ты живёш красиво у вас.
Wondering why you didn't line up the boards on the top? And yes I like the music, but I expected to see something weird come walking up out of the bushes.
I don't know, I could go check it, he hasn't called me. I'm sure its still ok, he was just using it to cross with a lawn mower. A culvert pipe would have been better there.
It kind of a good fix... Like the parallel logs.. could of used some of those Bigger rocks, tho. ;) It wasn't dredged out much.. So, there's alot of earth under it. Hopefully, the mock dried out some. Most risk of the stream pluging again.. I would of dredge it out 2 - 3ft down & (finished) 6 to 8ft wide.. Plus, some on the right side/ outlet. And put a couple scoops of rock, on-top (10+ inches above water lvl) of Mock: Before, put the logs down..
I agree. I guess sometimes all you can do is what the customer wants. Is there any more land for sale around where you have your container home and if so is it very expensive, It is very pretty around there.
Personally, not the way I would have done it but if it's what the customer wanted then you got to deliver. I agree a culvert would have been much better but there are still better ways to build a bridge. I hope the customer understands that he will have the same problem with that bridge sinking.

His parents did a good job in raising him. They are very lucky to have him in their family.

I believe this young man can do most anything, he puts his mind to it. I really enjoy watching him do all these things with his tools and his beautiful dogs.
As much as I love watching equipment at work, this time lapse video is super cool. I do miss the sound of the equipment though.
Yes, newer videos ill try to have a minute of normal speed, than time-lapse it so the whole job can be watched quickly.
I certainly see why you have to speed things up, these short videos could last quite some time, if watched in normal speed, for sure.
Thanks Andrew.
KUDOS !! they're ALL so good ... you've inspired me , over & over again to tackle the largest outdoor builds/repairs of my life . your calm style and great music make it FUN to learn !
I am always fascinated by people that are self motivated and self sufficient ....good job ...I will keep watching...of course .

One man working alone. Know the feeling.
its the best one!
Gets tiring quick
Ain't that the truth I feel ya bud
Warcraft throwback for the win
"There , that'll last another 100 years at least."
This guy makes tasks look easy.
I enjoy watching you enjoying your work.
I've learned a lot from you Andrew. Thanks for posting your work.
$35 and this 40 hours of CZcams class time will get you your Camarata Certificate in heavy equipment operation.
Dude I'm loving your videos. On a complete binge!
Cool video, thanks !
I was half expecting the Wu-Tang Clan to starting rapping over that song lol
haha good one!
Yo, I enjoy all your videos, but something about this one was super awesome!
The music sounds like something out of goosebumps
Warcraft 2 remix.
@@AndrewCamarataWork complete, Daboo
@@AndrewCamarata
I thought it sounded familiar lol
Jobs done :D
Ready to work! Wasted a bunch of my childhood on that game
Haha strange i was thinking the exact same thing
andrew really enjoyed watching your video. you are very good with your business. and fixing your equipments if there's something wrong with them

Damn Andrew, you get any better on that Yanmar and you'll be eating your lunch with that bucket!
Nice job
Pretty sure that's how he makes his
"bread & butter,"
so you could say he already does!
Andrew es usted un fenómeno!!! Saludos de España... 🇪🇸🇪🇸
Excellent video. I am always amazed at how you tackle a job and the results were outstanding as usual!
That's awesome, and it only took you 4 and a half minutes! :)
I love the way the tarpaulin winds away and the tailgate is multifunctional I’ve never seen that b4
For something that broke for no reason... great job fixing it...
I like your videos Andrew keep up the good work.
That's got to be the shortest video Andrew as ever made but it was still awesome!
I have enjoyed watching all of the video you have done and really like the container castle
"That's Fixed"
Recognized the Warcraft 2 music immediately lol. Memories
Yeah, I spent many hours playing Warcraft 2, that's a very fun game.
2 of us vs six computer opponents. Over a 56k modem.
Awesome music, Andrew. Thanks.
Must be nice to have a such a varied job. So much different jobs you do.
Yeah, having a job doing the same thing every day is very boring, especially inside jobs.
Again another tasty retrofit of an old bridge .good man Andrew camarata .
That was quite comical. Loved it.
You make it look so easy..
HAHAHAHaaa love the Warcraft remix!! Spent hours hearing that in the back ground.
longus yes, very fun game.
Never heard anyone remixing WC2 music before!
i was recently playing WC2! you can get it on GOG.com or something like that. you get warcraft 1 and 2
I’ve got the game on a flash drive or cd somewhere.. And the soundtrack on TAPE.
Hey man, great stuff. Like you I have older equipment and I'm almost always working by myself. Keep up the good work
Andrew,you are like a surgeon with that Yanmar!😁🚜💯💯
Amazing skill brother!
Very well done, congrats.
That was cool!
Did you rent the excavator, or do you own it, just out of curiosity? We're about to buy 10 acres of land, and I'm dreaming of all the stuff I want to get on my wish list for taking care of the property.
Bought it, its way cheaper to just buy stuff.
True.
Would it be totally out of line to ask what I might expect to buy something similar? (and how many hours you got yours with???) Don't mean to be rude, but don't have any idea what to expect.
A machine like that probably starts at $12,000.
WOW, must have some hours on it then, right?
I about fell out of my chair when I asked about a newer backhoe (like about 2200hrs) parked near my house, they were asking like $68,000!!!! I said, thanks, but it's out of my budget...
Backhoes aren't worth anything. Get an excavator.
Damn one man wrecking crew! Nice job there and you can always get a side job in the movies with those video editing skills, awesome.
Thanks
That yanmar has some balls !
❤ all your vids Andrew!
great vid did you get that shale(I think that's what it is) from your property? looks like it's all over the place up there. alot of sand down here in south jersey. thanks!
hey buddy, love the videos. I could totally hang out and work with you in your shop. you are one cool guy.
3:23 Andrew, you put stones under these wooden beams, give them more, because the water will wash out and the stones will disappear from there, and then the bridge will be flooded again, or sunk.

Good video. You did it once again.
U always do great work bud
Out of all the videos I watch on youtube I like yours the most
Impressive!
Mud, as in my breeding ponds;)
- Best regards from Poland, Paweł.
i really need to know the music !! i love this
The Yanmar is a workhose for you. It is a really nice machine.
Best tool you can have.
You are a hero
I have to admit..I sorta miss having metal coffee cans to use for stuff. K cups just don’t quite work the same.
EL OH EL...
...maybe work for screws,
from glasses or a phone!
That was amazing
Like, seriously how do you make it look so easy?
Thank you , Andrew .
Very nice work.
I hope the critical commentators realize this is a lawn mower crossing and not a bridge for army vehicles.
Is that your property in the video? Just wondering.
@pete smyth No.
Would just like to say, I LOVE your videos, keep on rocking hard and digging deep
Thanks.
nerf mania subscribe to my channel Mr. Dozer D6N2 to kill extra time. Favor for a favor I'll do the same.
Now put a little leaf litter on it so it’s not obvious. I can’t wait to see what you catch! 😬
I wouldn’t drive your Dodge over it. LOL Great video! Thanks Andrew!
It’s got 8 load bearing points so about 500# per load point. No problem.
I bet that mud had a distinctive stank.
I like the music from Warcraft 👍🏻
Love your videos!! But I was wondering how do you bid your jobs? I’m starting a side Business and I don’t know what’s the best way to bid the jobs I’m looking at.
Thanks, sometimes on the big ones I just do it by the hour.
Andrew Camarata thanks. That’s how I’ve been doing it
The constructicons (including Devastator), would be proud. 😎
Great job!! I get using the old logs again, but why not replace the walkway boards?
Why? They are fine.
I thought you were going to sweep it with a bush! :)
the warcraft music is awesome
Loved the music on this one lol
Warcraft 2
Thanks man!!!
I have this video on repeat just so I can listen to the tune while working. Andrew makes great choices.
Хорошая работа, я почти этим же занимаюсь своя мини техника хитачи40, бобкет 175 к стати соленоид и у меня тоже вышел из строя , раньше тоже как и ты один всё делал, где ты живёш красиво у вас.
I wish I had a sunken bridge, and an excavator, and skills like that!
did you try to get over it with bagger?
What a master.
that music.. this guys the devil of the digger world. always a good watch. dont see him leaning on no shovel and grumbling.
damn dude like a surgeon with that thing, jealous!hhhaahhah
Anybody else slightly surprised he didn't set the planks and nail them in with the excavator? Because I'm guessing he could if he wanted to...
got to love the Men in black theme......
czcams.com/video/jyb33RgAxis/video.html
HAhaha took me 5 min to place the music. It was killing me. A man of class.
It's annoying when bridges break for no reason
Nice job.
is this a trailer for the actual video?
Nice fix
Wondering why you didn't line up the boards on the top? And yes I like the music, but I expected to see something weird come walking up out of the bushes.
Хорошее видео, братец!
Cool, easy enough huh.
I would of spent the money and replaced those deck boards-it still improved things greatly.
Why? Perfectly servicable.
Nice sunken bridge
the first video I have watched that Andrew didn't say a word
spirit of success ❤️ semangat sukses 🙏❤️
OK nice try but its been a year is it still good or did the rock sink and post sink or move like to see a new video of it lol
I don't know, I could go check it, he hasn't called me. I'm sure its still ok, he was just using it to cross with a lawn mower. A culvert pipe would have been better there.
It kind of a good fix... Like the parallel logs.. could of used some of those Bigger rocks, tho. ;)

And put a couple scoops of rock, on-top (10+ inches above water lvl) of Mock: Before, put the logs down..
Hope that bridge is just for looks.
Greg Wallace it's for like lawnmowers and stuff, that's how it was so that's how He want it fixed, a culvert pipe would've been better
I agree. I guess sometimes all you can do is what the customer wants. Is there any more land for sale around where you have your container home and if so is it very expensive, It is very pretty around there.
there is evil carnival music......what could go wrong?
You have come a long way sense this video
Personally, not the way I would have done it but if it's what the customer wanted then you got to deliver. I agree a culvert would have been much better but there are still better ways to build a bridge. I hope the customer understands that he will have the same problem with that bridge sinking.
NY DEC permit required for any of this? In PA permitting for something as simple as this would take a year.
