I've watched Andrew Camarata's channel for a few years, but it has blown up over the last month and especially from the last 3 uploads, his no nonsense hard work ethic and fix-it ingenuity, for used affordable equipment, as well as time lapsed videos, makes this channel an interesting joy to watch.

Andrew embodies the older craftsmen I grew up with and admired. Too many people in America are dismissive, pessimistic, and overly worried about anything and everything that can be done. This is the ethic and ability that built this country and needs to be instilled in the younger generations. Probably the most positive thing I know of today are these types of videos and how engages younger and older people are with them. I hope this helps the current and next generations understand you can do anything you put your mind to.

Hi Andy, I'm a network technician for an ISP in Canada. It would be a good idea to add a pull cable into the cable conduit just in case they want to get DSL or a land line in the future, it would save them a ton of money as the ISP would charge thousands to dig a line that length in. I can tell by the telephone terminal on the pole (bottom one) that this is a pretty rural address but phone lines are still very popular due to them not going down during a power outage like cable phone lines do. Just a tip :D

Vacuum trick with string and plastic bag.

The undergrounding of the power line setup is done by Andrew Camarata.

[@brownwarrior6867]

Next time you lay cable(s)/Pipes on a dressed Drive Andrew take shallower scrapes put the top dressing on one side of the trench (preferably on the existing surface)and then put the sub base on the other side of the trench. That way when it comes to back filling the trench you can keep the good stuff for the top layer out of the way (and clean) whilst using the sub base to set the cable/pipes. This should save you a lot of time in end tidying up the driveway whilst maintaining a neat appearance. I would also invest in a decent trailer frame and set up and A Frame for the drums so you can run the cables close to ground level.
