Installing a new driveway

Using an excavator to dig out stumps, loading saw mill logs, dragging in a shipping container, and trucking in gravel to make a new driveway.

No wonder no one wants to watch television anymore. Most shows on television are complete garbage, and they have a staff of producers, directors, crew, etc. This is one guy, doing his own filming and editing, and running his own company.

It's refreshing to see a video without a clickbait title getting over 1M views.

Lesson learnt:

AN EXCAVATOR CAN SOLVE EVERY PROBLEM ON PLANET EARTH.

Every time this guy gets stuck, he some how manages to weasel his way out. He's one of the few people who can actually find the "i" in TEAM.

Who in their right mind would spend 57 minutes watching someone unloading stone and getting stuck :D I would, because it's great stuff

Wife: What are you watching?
Me: Andrew Camarata creating a driveway.
Wife: Why?
Me: Because I sit in an office 50 hours a week.

That solo push-out with the excavator was the single most amazing thing i have ever watched!!!!

I couldn't believe my eyes at 13:40, pure poetry and courage, you are the best!

Aside from anything else, the fact he never once says 'like & subscribe', 'let me know in the comments' etc means he wins YouTube

Who would sit and watch this for an hour, apart from me a 6 million other people 😋.

I'm from Indonesia, precisely on the island of Kalimantan. from the interior of the jungle of Kalimantan. I like videos like this. you are great👍

[MicahMartinDIY]

Thanks for including the SNAFU's where you got stuck. Especially the one where you ghost-drove the tractor!

I never thought that watching an hour long video of a guy paving a road would be so satisfying. Great job!

13:35 this is not a man that doesn’t know what he’s doing, this is a man that’s done this before. That was awesome 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

An excellent job - as usual - Andrew. Once again I have to say I never cease to be amazed at the inherent power of your skid-sliders! Imagine towing a massive truck filled with 4" gravel - and all you need is a steell chain. Just wow!

My dad is 96 and asked me to send you this comment since he can’t do it himself. “I see you have been doing stone roads where you are at. Have you tried shoulder stone (shoulder stone is a product of screening and finings of crushed blue stone). Check with a dealer for more information. Rent or buy an over road grader and a ten ton three wheel road roller for compaction. This stuff compacts very well and is good for hard usage. I’ve never tried this before but have heard it is very good -Mix Portland cement in a lean mixture with shoulder stone. Mix dry and spread dry in hard usage areas. Allow light usage for one or two weeks. It will set.”

Me seeing this video is nearly 58min- “no way I’m watching all that”

Me an hour later- “wow nice work” 😂

This guy is the definition of a one man army. Great job man!

[nickgualtieri]

Awesome job man, but as you see when the dump backs up with that load how the gravel pushed down and by no means any hate on the video but if you take the top soil off like the first 6-12 inches of dirt and bring it down to hard material you’ll never have a problem with the driveway. Then track pack the hell out of the gravel with the excavator if you don’t have a roller. It will last a lot longer cause when it rains and you have to bring in a heavy truck or machinery forget it it’s going to turn into a mess.
