Hammering a drainage trench behind a house

[@Engineer9736]

I don’t believe they intended the hammer for the concrete lining initially already. An excavator easily scoops that not-reinforced layer of concrete away. The homeowner knew about the bedrock for which he adviced Andrew to bring the hammer.

Hey Andrew my name is Cody, I live near Asheville NC. I came across your videos a while back and let me tell you... Best drug there is. I'm addicted. Not a day or night goes by that I'm not watching or rewatching your videos, The passion you have is truly inspiring, love how you explain and breakdown everything you talk about, and being a dog person myself, I really enjoy how you always include Levi and Cody into everything you do. Can't wait to see all your future videos, thank you for all that you do. Cody.

I think the excavator with the jack hammer was a great investment. Andrew's projects seem to be running into more and more rocks and that jack hammer is becoming more useful.

[@aidanleitch4707]

i couldnt stop laughing at andrew covering his ears hammering when he could just get a pair of muffs aha.

I think he does have ear muffs. I seen him wearing them when he runs the d4 or track excavator.

[@G-Man-kc2nm]

That bucket set up is the ticket. I owed a small excavation company in NY State years ago. I wish they had the mini excavators and track skid steer units available back then. I did new site work on the side of mountains from clearing, to the concrete work. You have a great setup. Nice work Andrew.

There is 2 types of water, surface and below surface. I think the water problem is below surface, flowing through those rocks. A trench will not fix that, unless it goes through all rock layers.

Thank you for such a satisfying conclusion to all of your videos. Really like the way your videos are laid out. You're obviously doing this to tell a story, and not dragging things out like most people on KZbin. "Part 45 of digging a trench"

[@lerkzor]

Good morning Andrew, this job was nicely done. Fixed it up right good and proper. The first scrape with the grading bucket and I went 'Ughhh, that's not good farmland.' Glad you had the hammer, this was some hard digging. Perhaps you should store some hearing protection in the excavators, it would have come in handy for this job. Anyway, thanks for the upload, good to see you back at it again.

[@stillliving5899]

Cody drinks many different water source's, but he didn't rip any sticks out of the ground this time, and he didn't take off with any gloves, tow straps, and he wasn't running like a mad dog. Thanks for another great video, and the rock bed you have down there is hard core, literally. God bless.

[@markstevens1729]

I live in the mountains in the west and the ground is granite versus shale. It will break, but the small hammer Andrew has wouldn’t do it. I see hammers on 335 and larger machines. Mostly, it’s blasted away. Much quicker and quieter than hammering, but not for a shallow trench.

[@tomlorenzen4062]

Andrew, you are definitely an abnormality in this day and age. Young, ambitious, hard working, smart. Not too many younger people like yourself. Good for you!

[@GMans-World]

lol today i have been going through all your old uploads ( I thought i had watched them all) and found some old but new videos I had missed, like installing the Sprouse trees , installing the concrete frog and a 1 or 2 more videos, thanks mate, you're doing a great job... i was amazing seeing Levi running and playing with his 2 other friends in the Frog video, he is such a beautiful dog, and of course our new pup Cody is such a fast runner as you know

[@AW-Services]

Yet another incredible job. Not easy ground and Andrew is a grafter. Respect to the guy driving the truck and doing groundwork. Love the tilt bucket. It appears to have a greater degree of curl with the system making it a little longer. Who else watches Andrews videos and Shazams the music I have this feeling Andrew loves techno and hard house style club music. I'm guessing it's all royalty free yet it highlights Andrews taste in good music

[@murraywestenskow2896]

Andrew's special touch is the little things. He didn't have to go back and get video of the water flow - but that made the whole twenty minutes of digging worth while - you can see that the problem went away - and there was a ton of water flowing through there. Good Job Andrew.
