Andrew Camarata

They tore it up pretty good, but it got fixed.
I liked his quote, something like, “a success, we got it on the concrete”.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

He’s put out a few videos this week.

 

[old and tired]

If you have not been watching his "B" rated videos, they can be found here...

Watching a YouTube of two dudes putting a parts cart together. Lol, y'all need more to do? I'll shoot you my address.

Truth is this. When out in the wilderness you make do with whatever methods are available. Much of rural America doesn't have the same machinery available to them as in the cities along with workers to do it all.

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.

They should have put the support bridging the side door, removed the garage door, and X-framed for more support, but other than that it looked totally reasonable to me.

Given that the owner went to burnt wood siding, then they could have gone off the deep end support-wise on the original garage, but we as viewers don't know that at the time they are moving. For myself just getting people and operators who really do work off of hand signals reliably is in itself a PITA. This is to say I have a couple of video events that I never bothered posting to my channel that maybe I should and post if for no other reason as they explain the cat-herding of ganging multiple machines together with just hand signals.

 

[stevem5215]

Yes, and at least with them using forks on the tracksteers they allowed the machine to move and slide on the forks somewhat. If that had been two backhoes with chained to the shed buckets that shed would've been in pieces immediately.

I guess there is an Andrew Camarata in Europe, he even started using a rock crusher 4 days ago,,

Should have been a stiffener beam installed that would have prevented the two skidsteers from jerking the shed apart.

He bought it 4/16/2021 for$xxx,000.

The road comes from the left, so he goes thru a bunch of other peoples property before he gets to his 79 acres. There's a faint red outline around his parcel. I was cutting out adjacent property names.

I know it's an old post but he paid $300,000 for the rock crusher. Yes he has right of ways to get to the mountain. Someone built a house in the middle of one of them and he ended up in a dispute over it. The other landowners appreciate him maintaining the road.

Don't put Bjoernstroem in the same class as A.C. A.C. is a hack who get lots of views cause of his shot with his dogs and land scapes not at all for good work. Everything he does is a "How Not To" video.

Bjoerstroem is a legit operator, mechanic and carries a blasting license. He made the rock crusher himself. I would hire him in a minute. I wouldn't let A.C. take out my garbage.

I've been going up to the Catskills for 50 years visiting a friend's cabin in Arkville, and now my brother's son has built a nice
getaway home near Hunter Mountain. Not too far from our favorite bulldozer driver's place.
I told him if he needed any more ground clearing, he has a big place up on a hill side, lot of acreage,
he could call Camarata and have the whole job on YT.

 

[old and tired]

Build plans for the new Castle.... on his "B" roll.

Sometimes he intentionally hacks stuff for dramatic views. Besides that he’s actually a pretty good mechanic and fabricator for a DIY operation. Obviously he’s not a pro mechanic, machinist, and definitely not a body shop but he’s not in business selling those services either.

 

[spitter]

He might be good compared to Moe Larry and Curly. That's it.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

I enjoy his videos, not a lot of talking, he finds ways to break things, then fixes them. Cringy at times, but fun to watch.

 

[stevem5215]

People enjoy watching his channel because he is a "hack". Not just a person who goes out and buys new parts and fits them.

 

[EddieWalker]

He impresses me by how he just keeps going. Some of what he does makes me question his way of thinking, but in a very short amount of time, he gets it done and it turns out good.

 

[4570Man]

He might be good compared to Moe Larry and Curly. That's it.

He usually dives right into the repairs and gets it done without sitting around whining about it. Doing the best quality repairs for equipment that’s not on a job earning money isn’t really an option. It would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars per year to keep a fleet of equipment the size of his properly maintained.

 

[deezler]

Nice job of finishing and enclosing his big equipment shed. Previews the "new" castle project again at the very end. Busy guy.
