Killer job salvaging those bluestone slabs. That patio came out great.

[@AndrewCamarata]

Thanks

[@johnberner2012]

MS Earthworks Yup just like how our ancestors did it. Why carve out a new stone slab with chisels and hand tools when there’s one that fell over from a meteor impact 10,000 years ago just 100 feet away...

[@duanebennett2961]

Andrew Camarata do you own the quarry where you get the sand and gravel??

[@TheAmazeer]

@@duanebennett2961 no he doesn't

Those were really awesome bluestone slabs and I was initially bummed when they broke. But in the end I think it gave the patio more character. Nice work.

[@ront8261]

That Bluestone you salvaged is beautiful!! Lots of old Ulster county Bluestone quarries up there

[@nickchannel5364]

I love AC. He responds to good questions and stays legit over long periods of time. Best wishes from a Vermont transplant in South Carolina.

[@AndrewCamarata]

Thanks

[@deannamarie4149]

Just when I think I have watched all of your videos another one pops out of the archives! It is awesome that stone foundation is being used again! ☮

[@mikethespikemorgan]

A pleasure to watch your vlogs. You are a skilled machinery operator and have a creative talent with the materials you work with.

[@AndrewCamarata]

Nice job Andrew. 👌

[@masshole1373]

That old foundation was wicked cool. Keep the awesome videos coming.

[@AndrewCamarata]

Mass Hole thanks.

[@peanut6726]

Who dislikes these videos, WTF???? I love them BTW, Andrew. Nicely done.

[@lml6.653]

the people foreseeing that patio settle and look like crap after a while because it was placed of un compacted plain fill.....

[@kryptikzechnok9907]

Ehh your fighting nature, one does not simply win

[@BeachBoyAAA]

lml6.6 -If it does, easy enough to relevel.

[@hypercube33]

@@lml6.653 there was an entire video of them packing the soil each layer before this though???

[@10p6]

Nice work. I would have put a liner under the volleyball court though.

[@budlvr]

I'm happy to see AC had some quality helpers on that job !

[@noslen84henri24]

Really nice job for the patio wow

[@jracer77]

Great Job, turned out awesome. Lots of hard work went into that

[@peanut71968]

Lucky find on that bluestone slab!

[@DanKoning777]

Great detail/finished product; *this look will do much more* than any business card.

[@jonathancook4022]

I feel like im inside a 1980's video game with that music playing!

[@bohhica1]

Beautiful work, yard is awesome.👍👍👍🇺🇸

[@viktorchud2149]

nice bluestone work

[@666MadDog]

so awesome!

[@vishino]

first shot 0:00 - 0:07 mood is soo cinematic, i think your filmmaking predispositions may surpass anything you do in crafts, very sensitive choices of music for shoots and in good taste, koi fish vid is also very good

[@yourbuddyrook]

That was a great video. What a cool idea for the patio, I’d want to put some drainage and a roof on that old foundation and bury it and have a cool bunker! Lol

[@jackieoman6695]

First time sering nice groud without big boulders in the earth ! Nice ! Neb. Is like that all throught out , no big boulders ..

[@rstephe]

That looked like a fun job.

[@braddollinger001]

Even though other people are trying to duplicate what you do.I admire your simple to the point videos. Keep it up.

Super patio

[@hughvane]

Oh my, that lake, pristine environment, green with envy I am.

[@billsmith5166]

Holy Mary! Do you have any Idea what that stone would sell for in Minnesota? What was that old foundation for, and how old was it? I can't imagine the work it would have taken to set that stone on the foundation. Really cool stuff!

[@sethwatson8952]

I'm also wondering about the deal with that foundation. Never seen anything like that.

[@jimcub22]

What’s struck me about you Andrew is your positive attitude, your experience in doing your jobs Is second to none what the customer wants is never above you. You always get stuck in working solo or with a home owner, you show experience in referring to previous jobs and ways of doing things and show initiative by doing preventative maintenance and using skills developed over time. Sorry If I’ve shouted your good but it needs saying.

[@michaeltarasenkoop2389]

I always wondered how you were going to use the bucket you modified with no teeth on it just a straight front edge great to smooth out the soil or gravel it worked out well setting the blue stone nice and flat ! Great job !

[@everestyeti]

Really like it when people use stuff they already had around there property, if you bought that stone new it would have cost an absolute fortune.

[@peterosales2383]

Very Nice !!👍🏼

[@uknowulikethat4042]

nice job with those slabs, looks great.

[@AndrewCamarata]

Thanks

[@chrisandyoli]

Broken breakaway device..like a fire hydrant..and by the way excellent skills to be able to allow guys on the ground in the swing path

[@MrPhotodoc]

Nice job, looks like a million dollars.

VERY COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@josephhall2858]

Ugh, jealous! All we have down here in FL is sand, no blue stone...

[@user-cf2pr6wn8g]

Отличная работа!!!!!!!

[@AndrewCamarata]

благодаря

[@davidgenthnerjr4995]

Wow that looked amazing. Unfortunately in my area before any more work could resume that old foundation that was uncovered would have to be filled in with earth.

[@BeachBoyAAA]

Build a building on it!

[@user-od6sq3xq1g]

Super 👍

[@davidgutierrez-aguirre4807]

great way to reuse the stone

[@glenngoodale1709]

Nicely done

I own the same backhoe. jcb 1400b. great machine

[@usedtobecool6874]

cool

[@chevelshepherdsuperfan8855]

Hay boss I seen some of your videos and I just wanted to say you are good at what you do keep up the hard work my name is Jason.

[@HarrisPropertyMaintenance]

nice :)

[@xTheRealKestrelx]

I think stonehenge is made up of (some) bluestones ... so the patio should weather well!

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

Great job on that. The sand didn't look very sandy. Your video production and editing are very good. The video is very good compared to many channels. Even at full screen, the quality is still very good. I think you showed the camera you use on a video.

[@Bergalicious38]

I'd like to know the history of that old foundation and how it was found. Did somebody trip over it one day, or did the owner of the property know it was there? What a lucky find!

[@AndrewCamarata]

Yes, those slabs are nice, It was in the corner of that property, I think it took them a few months to notice that. I'm sure it was the floor of a house or barn. That foundation is really big.

[@laoluu]

Good it was not a septic tank!

[@richhill5464]

Awrsome!!!

[@MoiPloy]

0:12 what a scenery ..lake view and a yanmar

[@abmorty]

Wow, forget the volleyball court and the foundation, start bagging that black soil and you'll make a mint in the Midwest! Okay maybe shipping would kill the profit margin but that stuff makes me jealous, jealous, jealous!

[@MartyInTheWoods]

8:32 earth may not be the best under layer for patio stones. Long term composting, drainage and weeds spring to mind.

[@mediterraneacatadoptionfos486]

Marty I may be wrong but I think it was left over sand they used. Difficult to tell the colour

[@DarylRosenberg01]

Thats cool they repurposed that foundation.

[@morgansword]

Although that was hard work for sure, I think it was a labor of love, sure pretty, maybe my ideas are wired wrong but that is positively great

[@MarcM143]

Badass Andrew

[@rchrdgrn]

I don't know when the Bluestone floor went in but it must have been incredibly hard to do without modern equipment

[@BeachBoyAAA]

Moved with horses on rollers from nearby undoubtably.

[@T.E.P.]

This was one of the 1st vids I watched before I subbed to the channel a long time ago. AND im watching again!
