nice new house, clearly no woman living here...I was impressed how neat it was.
Is this Andrew's or someone else's home?
Not sure how well a charred wood exterior will hold up; unless well sealed, think it would be absorbent.
not my cup of tea.

Whoa. Is that on his mountain? Looks amazing.

Charred wood exterior is definitely a hot trend right now. It holds up well to rain, I hear. I thought it was called shou sugi ban, but apparently that was a horrible western misinterpretation and its called yakisugi.

Looking at the video where Andrew walks up on the porch, you can see that it is wicking water up the siding from the melting snow on the porch.

The home owner was probably the man who came out and explained the windows came from somewhere in Europe, Germany I think he said.

Someone on YouTube is always burning the outside layer of posts and boards to make it last longer. I'd like to see a study of how various species of charred wood compare to black locust, white oak, and eastern red cedar.

He has more recent videos of building a new driveway up to his buddy’s house.

It's only pressurized when it's running. When it sits a hole in the intake anywhere depending on the size mice, bugs, salt spray, dust, anything will find its way in there. If it was me, I would fix it as soon as possible. But my stuff doesn't look like his.🍻

It's a 1/16" inch hole. And like I stated earlier, before canister emissions laws every turbo intercooler I've seen came with a weep hole to drain out water so they wouldn't slug the engine under the right conditions.

Eric, before VW had to fess up about faking the emission controls on their TDI line, my Golf TDI had the same problem. In the winter, condensation would form in a low spot in the intercooler and boy did it sound unhappy when it gulped it down. There was no weep hole and clearly it needed one. I found out about it online, VW denied, and denied, and denied, and then did a TSB saying they would replace a plastic part with one that drained better. Which they did. I sold the car before the scandal. Always thought it ran and performed very well. First couple of winters, even in a garage, had starting incidents. And VW denied.

quite a way for Andrew to earn a living. become your own movie star.

Does Andrew have merchandise? A Patreon connection?
would you wear a Camarata tshirt?

personally I don't wear advertising or message shirts, but
I think Andrew's name is now fairly recognizable. I wonder how much excavating business it brings in.

She's back...

Samantha posted a video on her channel... comments were basically unknown if they are together again or if she is just working for him. Funny to me, when Andrew doesn't post videos for a while, she shows up in them. (Just saying....)

Start at 40:00 to see how not to pour concrete.

They did a good job with what they started with. Man those doors look really heavy though.

A screed would have been better to start with IMO.
I would have used garage doors or sliders, those doors will suck in the winter...

yep, first person I ever saw that tried to float concrete without screed first. The first truck was like water, way way too wet. And the driver didn't do them any favors by blowing it out at them faster than they could rake it. Poor all the way around. And wrong tools for troweling. amazed it came out as good as it did.

Anyone know if Sam has said what's up with her foot? Is it mentioned in a video of why she's on that brace?

Neat trip to MT.
It's been awhile since I checked out an AC video, it's been a minute since I've been here. That was really cool. We rode similar Polaris snow machines on Whistler Blackcomb about 10 years ago.

Just the thought of that makes me not want to watch it.🤮🍻

Here is his latest . . .

Watch his latest moving the small shed/garage. I was laughing but wouldn't be laughing if I was the owner. Might as well built a new one.

To be fair they did about the only reasonable option. The shed wasn’t worth much and spending thousands to move it properly would be foolish.
