Watching Andrew do different jobs like this is what got me addicted to his channel. Glad to see him doing different stuff again. One of the best channels on the tube. Love these long videos.
*Andrew should set up a dude ranch $850 a day come learn to drive a bulldozer and knock over a few old cabins, steaks at 5pm, strippers until 7pm, 8pm curfew, lather rinse repeat.*
Hey Andrew, I’m a commercial pilot. I was trying to get a job at some airline here in Chile, but Covid hit and they started firing people. Since it was gonna take a while for the airlines to hire pilots again, i decided to come live with my parents again and help them with their business. I had a ton of free time during the lockdowns so I learned to weld. Long story short, i’m building tiny houses by myself now. I just finished the third one and I’m so happy doing this. Not planning on going back to flying. You’ve been a huge inspiration to get things done and to work harder than anyone else to succeed, and to not be afraid of trying new stuff. Thanks for being an amasing role model. Btw I know breakups are awful, but rest assure that you’re not alone, you have lots of people who truly care about you. Pablo
?! Breakup, what do you mean? Just because Sam isn't in every video do not mean that they broke up - heck we don't even know if they were together in the first place!
Why is everyone so involved, interested and consumed with Andrew's private life, relationships and personal matters. So what if he mentions it but it's not the body of the video content. Grow up and have some respect. Imagine you were in his shoes
I’ve got to admit that as epic as all of the mountaintop property videos have been, it is SO refreshing to be back to videos of you doing jobs, Andrew. Love your channel and would love to see more content like this again. Keep up the great work and integrity as always!
I don’t know if you will read this comment Andrew but I have really missed you working on other peoples properties . This video is hugely entertaining and I’ve loved every minute .

The push mower inside is/was a rare machine. It was small and designed for cemeteries to mow between the headstones. The handle would flop to the other side for pushing it in each direction. Thanks for inviting us in to watch the cleanup. Nice work as always.
Andrew, you are a class act! That's one of several reasons I'm a loyal subscriber, your attention to detail and care of customers, and care for others keep me coming back. Thanks for another interesting video! Be well, be safe!
Yeah I know he said all his viewers are looking but we wouldn't have if he'd not brought it to our attention. He could have easily just ignored them and no one would have known. He's a good guy with good standards which is why I love watching his videos.
@@CraigNiel there's a few eagle eyes that watch. one video AC lost a piece to a machine he was dragging on the mountain, and the guys wrote down where it was and the time line on the video. AC look at the message went back and found the piece. still I have watched AC do jobs and he goes out of his way. good job AC.
Thanks Andrew for taking us through the house before you demolished it. I was born in early fifties and I remember all that s*** you were looking at when it was brand new. Lol
That calendar on the wall read May 1968 I was 3 months old then. Same here on the appliances. My grandparents had that stuff still when I was in high school! They never bought anything new. If it could be repaired, it was.
The dishes and pots and pans alone could be worth thousands of dollars. I saw the patterns and pieces and some looked promising. You wondered how people would know. When you get to my age certain things stand out. That was a treasure trove in that house. I'm glad you guys took the time to save some of the items. Very nice video.
Nope, old dishes and cookware like that is worthless. The only things I saw of any value was possibly the 1955 Westinghouse refrigerator, the 1940s overhead fluorescent light fixture, and the carved mantle. Everything else is trash.
Never get tired of watching Andrew on these type of projects. Does such a awesome, responsible job. $500 worth of scrap - helps pay for diesel and keeps the metal out of the landfill. 💪👍🏼
I have a spot in my field that's just for scrap. I save up old appliances from our renovation jobs and don't make a scrapyard run until its enough to fill my dump truck up on a rainy day. It pays the taxes on it.
Like many watching this we remember 50yrs ago building our first simple houses for a beloved bride. The following children so happy as were we. Now our children live in brick houses in the suburbs but could never have known the pleasures we had raising them in houses like this. Thankyou Andrew for everything you do and the care you take videoing for us.
Freezing in the winter, hot in the summer, lead paint and asbestos tiles everywhere...fcking amazing! I want one now! But seriously, it's a shed. You need a refresher on the story of the 3 pigs and which house ends up surviving the big bad wolf.
An old house like that has to go but it makes me think of all the years it was a home. Babies getting rocked to sleep, Christmas dinners being cooked, a cat looking out the window on a cold winter night, homework getting done, young adults going away to school, off to start their own family or off to war. Then the day came when the lights were shut off and the door was pulled closed. That day when it stopped being a home and became just an old house.
The ending is so worth the price of enjoying watching it all the way through. Andrew is such a wonderful man and thoughtful and an example of how we should all be. God Bless Andrew Camarata and all those who do think of others.
You always go the extra mile for your customers, your family, and your friends. What a wonderful, KIND man you are. I have watched all of your videos over the years, and you never once failed to amaze me. You're AWESOME!! Thanks for your wonderful videos.
I admire your integrity Camarata! You have qualities that few have these days. I love the fact that you never mention anything about liking or subscribing and yet you have 28 thousand likes and 1.2 million subscribers! Absolute genius! Never change my man.
Thank you to RUclips for bringing content providers and viewers together. If not, we'd be forced to view only documentaries broadcasted by the major media companies. Based on the number of subscribers and likes at this particular channel, I'm heartened to know there are also many others who like watching this kind of activities. The nitty-gritty stuff in detail, and not heavily edited "Before and After" short videos.
I’m so glad to see you back in the field Andrew, I love your videos because your editing is better than the rest brother! Not a boring moment, y’all have so much history there! The stone wall is amazing, I love seeing things like that there in your area! I just remember so many jobs you’ve done in the years past and I’m definitely a fan brother! Always praying for you, your family and those fur babies Cody and Blue! I’ve loved all your babies ( kids) especially Levi❤️RIP🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻! Job looks great Andrew as always brother! Thanks for sharing my friend! Kirk from Louisiana! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Andrew is again the owner of the internet entertainment business! I would rather get an Andrew video alert than almost anything else! Thanks for all you have done for us over the years and please take care!
Now this is the content that got me hook on this channel. Don't get me wrong I like the mountain top videos but all the construction type videos where Andrew demo's properties, installs new culverts, driveways etc. are some of the best content on YT. Andrew may not have to take these types of jobs much anymore due to his YT fame but let it be known these jobs are the rare treat and have been missed. In any event I love all the content Andrew puts out. (some more than others) Keep it up Andrew!
3 days on the job and still finds the rods in the falling light and sorts it out. Thats how you finish a job off,, attention to detail and always considering the next person on the job site. Many could learn from your work ethic mate.
Loved how you gently removed the blue stone slabs without just crushing them. Terrific dexterity with your equipment. I used to volunteer at an arboretum that was part on an old estate. Moss was kept off the house roof by using copper ridge cap and gutter flashing. I was going to do the same at my moms house until I saw the price of copper sheeting. Instead I used two rolls of pennies that are copper coated. I slipped them 1/2 under the shingle edges in the top two rows of her roof. When it rains, the copper sulfate leached out and coated the roof, in turn killing the existing moss and preventing future growth. Wishing you, Sam and your furry kids a blessed thanksgiving week filled with family, friends, food, gentle autumn weather and restful evenings. Peace Andrew.
One of the reasons I like to watch Andrew is that I know that he is conscientious about doing things the right way. A lot of demolition contractors would probably have left those electrical ground rods in the ground. Andrew seems to care about his customers. I think that is good business and good for business!
Sad to see a piece of history like that go. It may just be a run down house to most of us but at one point that was somebody's life, someone's childhood or hard eared money. At one point someone was proud to own, and to have earned that house.
Exactly what I think whenever I see things like this. Not many times in your life will be able to experience a home frozen in time 50 years ago. That being said, it needed to come down.
If those walls could talk. The happy times that must have gone on. The Thanksgivings, Christmases, graduations. Love old properties like that. Each one with a history and a story.
Imagine the history of that house. I live in Washington state. I married my wife, who is 5th generation of the farm we live on. There are four houses that look identical to this. Total time capsule! I hope you saved that old Fridge, they are worth money, especially when restored with a “killer paint” job!
You're message at the end is a message for everybody. Do a good job even when no one is looking. I'd pay anyone who did that double with a smile. I bought a brand new Goldwing recently 32500 bucks and when i got it home the tire pressures were 9 and 10lbs low The panels they fitted out of the crate were fitted wrong and they put a quarter tank of gas in it. Suffice it to say i'll never use that dealership for anything ever again...
Great video! Love these building demolition and property clean up videos. Was glad to see you wearing a dust mask, there was probably some pretty hazardous stuff in the dust from that old house.
You're a good man Andrew Camarada. I bet the neighbors like the improvement. That playhouse was messing with a couple of hydraulic lines. I was going to take my cans in recently when I noticed aluminum was down .20 a pound.
Another fantastic video, Andrew. Always interesting to watch you in action. The videography is outstanding and the amount of work you get done by yourself is unique. Looking forward to the next one.
Hi Andrew as one of the others stated I really enjoy when you work on other peoples projects. I enjoy looking at the end results and the effort that you go to to get that result. Bravo from Victoria Australia
Thank You Andrew for sharing ! Your time, knowledge, etc. with all of us. I have watched your videos for 4 years now. You have help me save $ $ $ on repairs to my equipment .And I have started 2 you tube channels. So, again Thanks !!!
As much as I love antique houses, this one was WAY too far gone and needed to go, well beyond saving. Like putting down an old dog with cancer, you did the right thing. I can't say I would've done any different. Glad you saved the cub cadet and the old Westinghouse refrigerator.
My wife has been busy watching Hallmark Christmas movies all day...I just watched your tear down the house episode. I can honestly tell you I enjoyed your video way more than my wife enjoyed her Hallmark day. As with Henry Ford, I also believe that what you do when no one is watching is the true measure of a person. Much respect Andrew, very much!
Kinda sad to see it all being torn down, at one time someone made a lot of memories there for sure. Lots of hard times, good times and everything in between. Anyway, that was a mouse house for sure, looks like it has been abandoned for well over 35-40 years. All it takes is for a hole to poke through the roof, the weather comes in and the process of rotting starts.
Thanks for this video! An old friend's 1880s house was just demolished two days ago and looks very close to this one. He rented it when he was newly married in his 20s back in 1989. They were the last ones to rent it in 1989 and sat empty until it's demolition November 2022. The hand-dug stone lined water well and hand pump still remain in the front yard, and a drilled well, pump and pressure tanks remain in the back yard inside the only outbuilding left on the property. Its down a country road no one really drives down. It would be a great bug-out property if SHTF.
I just had an idea, Andrew! For "filming" your interior shots, build an enclosure for your camera. A cage. Make it out of plate steel! Why not? (I know a guy that can get pla...oh, never mind). Put an extendable (remote controlled) spire or rod with a steel ring on top. It will rise from the "ashes" and you just pluck it out when you are done. Paint it bright orange (or the color of your choice) and then just fish it out after everything is destroyed. The camera is protected and if you put legs on it, it won't fall over. Make it indestructible, like your castle. Just think what you could film! Cement block structures being demolished, from the INSIDE! Plus, you can make a whole video of the construction of said "camera cage"! Win, Win! Just a thought! Thanks for your great videos, Andrew! 😀
The fact that he didn't just drive away and ignore them is a testimony to Andrew's character. Many wouldn't have taken the time to do what he did. The mark of a real man and a professional!
Andrew you are the right stuff! Hard to imagine you are NOT from a older generation!!!!! Looking forward to your crusher run road project being finished it sure will help with all year access.
I saw 2 things you guys missed that were worth a couple hundred bucks. The old Iron bed upstairs (those things go for about 300 to 400, sometimes more if they have never been painted on. The other thing you missed was the wood stove. That would go easily for 100 to 300 in any trade paper. Especially the time period it comes from, and how sturdy they built things back then. I have a bed like the one you missed from my grand parents house and the reason why those go for so much, is those were hand made back around the turn of the century, and the box springs are hard to find for them, because they are made backwards compared to other box springs.
With the amount of rot in that upper floor, trying to get that thing out without falling through the floor or destroying it... Honestly, I'd personally call it riskier than it was worth. First floor, perhaps. But up on that rotted out second floor? That's an ambulance call waiting to happen.
Hey Andrew I know it's a old video but I wanted to say. About any old fridge or pop soda machine. Don't mess with that crap unless you know what type of freon is in them. A friend of mine got a old coke machine that worked. 2 year after he had it he didn't know it was a outdoor machine. The freon was 717 real nasty stuff. Ammonia based. You can't get 10 feet from a leak without passing out. One guy I worked with had to sit in a pressure bubble of oxygen because masks wasn't good enough. Take caution around some of it, its bad. Stay safe work on Mr.Tonka😊
WOW what a time capsule! Especially the shot of that calendar still on the MAY 1968 page, and the church letter from 72. Such a small house by today's standards, it almost seems unreal that a family actually lived there, so long ago. Couldn't really catch any detail on the catalog ( prices) I am sure that would have been a shock, especially being that it was before Nixon took us off the Gold Standard.
Great job. A tooth bucket is a good tool as a rough rake but they don't pick up as well as a smooth bucket. It takes a lot of equipment to do these jobs. Thanks, Henry. Andrew did it right!
Andrew i would appreciate if you consider running for president with your honesty and loyalty to your customers you be a sure winner with you in the white house this county would be unstoppable (WE THE PEOPLE NEED YOU)
It's so sad to see the end of things like this house, think about all the memories of the people who lived in it and the good times they had in it and they are all gone.
that dash in your truck is really starting to take shape. really taking on some character now. And with very little chainsaw alterations too! Great video, Andrew!
Caring is what sets you apart than most. Be the change you would like to see in the world, to quote Gandhi. You certainly live up to that standard. Keep it up Andrew, greetings from Piraeus, Greece🇬🇷
Andrew Camarata, the quintessential man in the historical concept or definition of “dering do”. The risks he sees are nothing like what common people see. His abilities by far exceed the mind of the more commonly mundane thinker, in other words, his genius is just that…his abilities…which makes him appear to be completely fearless. However, make no mistake, they actually make him a genius. Just my opinion. I grew up with Camarata families in my home town of Mechanicville, NY, very fine family name. Thank you for very enjoyable videos!
Andrew, I wanted to know just how you felt when you came out of that old house. I know I felt pretty depressed. I find it very sad watching an old house like this coming down. I think of all the Christmas mornings the kids ran down those stairs, the birthdays and celebrations, the sad times when the boys went off to war and the boys who didn't return. The prayers said in those old beds, and the dreams and hopes. It's day was over, of that there was no doubt, and when Andrew is done it will be a dear green place again as it was long ago.
It was kind of sad seeing that old house come down with all the memories and babies being bored of that house and people dying in the sounds of Kidson hopes and dreams
I would guess that the camper was the last occupied dwelling on the property. Maybe sometime around in the 80's. The playground was probably built in that time period.
1:08:10 Recycling yard claw operator, I wonder if as a kid he ever got his favorite toy out of the arcade claw game. Why are Andrews videos so addictive?
The inside of that old fridge was in way better condition than I expected when you opened it…. Practically pristine compared to the outside. Kinda cool
It seems like she’s coming tomorrow morning, I’m going to try to make an unlisted video about her restoring it if I can get some photos from her after she finishes it.
great job as usual! I have to say that since I´ve watch you building that huge castel house/workshop some years ago, I became inmediatly an admirer of your work, plus your dogs... I have a big pack of thirteen dogs and four cats, and they make my every day full of laughter. I´m chilean and live now in Chile, as well in the countryside, and I work with wood and metal, I taught my self how to do things on my own. Man you have been an inspiration for my doing, and since that first one of your videos I´ve wacht them all. I lived in Edmeston, NY, in 1980, for six month, when I was only fifteen years old, in some exchange program, and I still remember the landscape and the air carring old history. That period of time made a substantial change in my life. I admire the way you finish your jobs, always super professional, and I liked when you quoted Henry Ford, man that´s the spirit, you do it right only because it´s the only right way, not because someone is looking... when humanity understand that, then we wil be out of excuses to keep screwing things up!! cheers mate...
Great saying Andrew but unfortunately most people are at their worst when people are not looking! We need more people like you in this world doing the right thing no matter who's looking! Great video!
@@loveistheanswer8137 I think the TL12 should be big enough for that. I mean, that one is a pretty big and strong one considering that Andrew managed it to lift one side of the D4 with it. But hey, i whould surely like to see that Andrew could get a Kubota SVL95 or similar.
Lots of interesting things in that house; I was expecting some comment on the wood burning stove but it was trashed so I guess just tin and firebricks...ho hum. I love that brush cutter.
Yes I thought the same Or the tall chimney on the one end just kinda blowing in the wind while demo was going on. Personally I would have taken it down first to prevent collapsing on excavator.
That eerie, distorted music perfectly personifies and evokes thoughts of the passed souls that called this home and hopefully the wonderful lives they had here... I wouldn't be surprised if the refrigerator still ran either.
That sofa bed in the living room is from the 1960s- we have one exactly like it and still use it!! My mother in law had a zippered upholstered cover made for it. Quite serviceable! It came from a motel during that era. Very comfortable!
I hope D Dave was able to salvage some of the valuables from the house, and also teach Andrew a bit about the possibilities of selling house clearance items.
A very good self advice comment. I like the phrase....”do a good job while no ones looking”. This means you will be first up to be invited back to do similar work again, Andrew.
Андрей, рад приветствовать Вас! Смотрю ваши видео с большим удовольствием, очень нравится. Я занимаюсь такой же работой, сносим старые дома и вывозим мусор, только демонтаж мы делаем руками. Еще собираем вещи которые пригодны для дальнейшего использования и продаем в интернете, дополнительно на этом зарабатываем. Я желаю Вам и вашему каналу роста, ждем новых выпусков) Andrey, I am glad to welcome you! I watch your videos with great pleasure, I like it very much. I do the same job, we demolish old houses and take out the garbage, only we do the dismantling by hand. We also collect things that are suitable for further use and sell on the Internet, in addition we earn money on this. I wish you and your channel growth, we are waiting for new releases)
1) wouldn’t it be easier to knock it down and then get the big tracked-dozer loader to make quick work of the debris? 2) During the beginnings of the next apocalypse, everyone head over the Andrew’s castle estate, in upstate NY’s Hudson Valley 3)Character is doing the right thing even when no one is around to notice….your habits matter - we are what we repeatedly do
Nothing more satisfying than watching that bush hog flatten everything. Been following your channel over 5 years, mostly because I moved from the woods to the city 7 years ago after breaking my back and missed home. I can at least dream that this could have been me in another life.
I feel absolutely sure Andrew would have pulled those electric ground wires up at the end regardless of whether a million people on YT were watching. That kind of character is probably in part why he has a million people on YT watching. 👍🏻
Hey Andrew, here's a tip. The old metal beds you destroyed for probably pennies on the pound for scrap, or sent to the dump. They sell for like $100 - $200 more then what they are worth as scrap. People go crazy for those beds, even if they have rust on them.
Amazing job with the camera angles and cinematography! That sacrificial camra inside the house was awesome and super well placed it was the perfect vantage point to tell the story of destruction! True artwork
Doesn't matter how many are watching, if you hadn't pointed out the ground rods, we wouldn't have known. Integrity! BTW, that copper wire is the same price/pound as the copper pipe.
Andrew gracias por tus videos, podrias activar los subtitulos? Me fascinó este video, soy una señora de 68 años y veo siempre tus hermosas limpiezas de terrenos!! Gracias
Quality workmenship is no longer available in todays society! Real cool you keep the quality attitude with your work! Thats just outstandingly excellent!
The first thing that struck me was the Insulbrick siding. I lived in an area where many of the houses were old and neglected and were covered with it. My first house was nowhere as bad as this house but it was pretty seedy and required serious renovation. It wasn't covered with insulbrick but roof shingles. You can't get more seedier than that. I had to rip them all off to have it sided with vinyl. Glad those days are over.
Hi Andrew Good Job man your channel is addictive me sitting here watching a guy do all that you do and i watch one and get enjoyment and i watch another, You must be one of the hardest workers on RUclips and you get satisfaction knowing that that's another Job done, Thanks for sharing , Cheers from The UK, Keep em coming Please.
1:25:02 That house was probably occupied in the early/mid 1980s, because 2 copper electrodes (10 foot copper ground rods) was not added to NEC. until after 1978 nationwide before that only one was required. Local Municipalities slowly over the course of about 3 to 5 years started requiring it to be installed to pass inspiration. There is often a latency period for local building department to enforce code changes because permits that were awarded before the code change and are not complete yet also contractors quoted work based on previous standards.
thx for the interior home tour, interesting items, my mind wanders: who lived there, what was their life like, were they warm in the winter, what caused the fire, a step back in time.

Thanks. Ill try to do more, havent got a ton of calls for interesting stuff this year. And I have been trying to focus on my projects.

The push mower inside is/was a rare machine. It was small and designed for cemeteries to mow between the headstones. The handle would flop to the other side for pushing it in each direction. Thanks for inviting us in to watch the cleanup. Nice work as always.

An old house like that has to go but it makes me think of all the years it was a home. Babies getting rocked to sleep, Christmas dinners being cooked, a cat looking out the window on a cold winter night, homework getting done, young adults going away to school, off to start their own family or off to war. Then the day came when the lights were shut off and the door was pulled closed. That day when it stopped being a home and became just an old house.
Well said.
Back when you worked at home on a farm or raised a family in your own home town on 1 paycheck.Lot simpler back then.
The ending is so worth the price of enjoying watching it all the way through. Andrew is such a wonderful man and thoughtful and an example of how we should all be. God Bless Andrew Camarata and all those who do think of others.
More entertaining then anything cable TV has to offer. You’re the man Andrew C. Love this content.
100%
It’s always sad to me to see old rural farm houses be demolished , but that one definitely was in pretty rough shape. Great job! 👍😊
Especially after a fire!
You always go the extra mile for your customers, your family, and your friends. What a wonderful, KIND man you are. I have watched all of your videos over the years, and you never once failed to amaze me. You're AWESOME!! Thanks for your wonderful videos.
I admire your integrity Camarata! You have qualities that few have these days. I love the fact that you never mention anything about liking or subscribing and yet you have 28 thousand likes and 1.2 million subscribers! Absolute genius! Never change my man.
Thank you to RUclips for bringing content providers and viewers together. If not, we'd be forced to view only documentaries broadcasted by the major media companies. Based on the number of subscribers and likes at this particular channel, I'm heartened to know there are also many others who like watching this kind of activities. The nitty-gritty stuff in detail, and not heavily edited "Before and After" short videos.
Your dedication to your community and helping others is truly admirable.
I’m so glad to see you back in the field Andrew, I love your videos because your editing is better than the rest brother! Not a boring moment, y’all have so much history there! The stone wall is amazing, I love seeing things like that there in your area! I just remember so many jobs you’ve done in the years past and I’m definitely a fan brother! Always praying for you, your family and those fur babies Cody and Blue! I’ve loved all your babies ( kids) especially Levi❤️RIP🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻! Job looks great Andrew as always brother! Thanks for sharing my friend! Kirk from Louisiana! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Andrew is again the owner of the internet entertainment business! I would rather get an Andrew video alert than almost anything else! Thanks for all you have done for us over the years and please take care!
Same.
Now this is the content that got me hook on this channel. Don't get me wrong I like the mountain top videos but all the construction type videos where Andrew demo's properties, installs new culverts, driveways etc. are some of the best content on YT. Andrew may not have to take these types of jobs much anymore due to his YT fame but let it be known these jobs are the rare treat and have been missed. In any event I love all the content Andrew puts out. (some more than others) Keep it up Andrew!
3 days on the job and still finds the rods in the falling light and sorts it out. Thats how you finish a job off,, attention to detail and always considering the next person on the job site. Many could learn from your work ethic mate.
Thanks
Loved how you gently removed the blue stone slabs without just crushing them. Terrific dexterity with your equipment.
I used to volunteer at an arboretum that was part on an old estate. Moss was kept off the house roof by using copper ridge cap and gutter flashing. I was going to do the same at my moms house until I saw the price of copper sheeting. Instead I used two rolls of pennies that are copper coated. I slipped them 1/2 under the shingle edges in the top two rows of her roof. When it rains, the copper sulfate leached out and coated the roof, in turn killing the existing moss and preventing future growth.
Wishing you, Sam and your furry kids a blessed thanksgiving week filled with family, friends, food, gentle autumn weather and restful evenings. Peace Andrew.
One of the reasons I like to watch Andrew is that I know that he is conscientious about doing things the right way. A lot of demolition contractors would probably have left those electrical ground rods in the ground. Andrew seems to care about his customers. I think that is good business and good for business!
Sad to see a piece of history like that go. It may just be a run down house to most of us but at one point that was somebody's life, someone's childhood or hard eared money. At one point someone was proud to own, and to have earned that house.
You neglect the roof, and everything under it rots. Water is the enemy.
Exactly what I think whenever I see things like this. Not many times in your life will be able to experience a home frozen in time 50 years ago.
That being said, it needed to come down.
If those walls could talk. The happy times that must have gone on. The Thanksgivings, Christmases, graduations. Love old properties like that. Each one with a history and a story.
Imagine the history of that house. I live in Washington state. I married my wife, who is 5th generation of the farm we live on. There are four houses that look identical to this. Total time capsule! I hope you saved that old Fridge, they are worth money, especially when restored with a “killer paint” job!
You're message at the end is a message for everybody. Do a good job even when no one is looking. I'd pay anyone who did that double with a smile. I bought a brand new Goldwing recently 32500 bucks and when i got it home the tire pressures were 9 and 10lbs low The panels they fitted out of the crate were fitted wrong and they put a quarter tank of gas in it. Suffice it to say i'll never use that dealership for anything ever again...
Great video! Love these building demolition and property clean up videos. Was glad to see you wearing a dust mask, there was probably some pretty hazardous stuff in the dust from that old house.
You're a good man Andrew Camarada.
I bet the neighbors like the improvement. That playhouse was messing with a couple of hydraulic lines.
I was going to take my cans in recently when I noticed aluminum was down .20 a pound.
Another fantastic video, Andrew. Always interesting to watch you in action. The videography is outstanding and the amount of work you get done by yourself is unique. Looking forward to the next one.
Hi Andrew as one of the others stated I really enjoy when you work on other peoples projects. I enjoy looking at the end results and the effort that you go to to get that result. Bravo from Victoria Australia
Thank You Andrew for sharing ! Your time, knowledge, etc. with all of us. I have watched your videos for 4 years now. You have help me save $ $ $ on repairs to my equipment .And I have started 2 you tube channels. So, again Thanks !!!
As much as I love antique houses, this one was WAY too far gone and needed to go, well beyond saving. Like putting down an old dog with cancer, you did the right thing. I can't say I would've done any different. Glad you saved the cub cadet and the old Westinghouse refrigerator.
That wasn't even a nice house when it was new.
My wife has been busy watching Hallmark Christmas movies all day...I just watched your tear down the house episode. I can honestly tell you I enjoyed your video way more than my wife enjoyed her Hallmark day. As with Henry Ford, I also believe that what you do when no one is watching is the true measure of a person. Much respect Andrew, very much!
I must say your editing skills are great. The transition between rubbish and truck was seamless. Great to watch you work, great skills.
Kinda sad to see it all being torn down, at one time someone made a lot of memories there for sure. Lots of hard times, good times and everything in between. Anyway, that was a mouse house for sure, looks like it has been abandoned for well over 35-40 years. All it takes is for a hole to poke through the roof, the weather comes in and the process of rotting starts.
Thanks for this video! An old friend's 1880s house was just demolished two days ago and looks very close to this one. He rented it when he was newly married in his 20s back in 1989. They were the last ones to rent it in 1989 and sat empty until it's demolition November 2022. The hand-dug stone lined water well and hand pump still remain in the front yard, and a drilled well, pump and pressure tanks remain in the back yard inside the only outbuilding left on the property. Its down a country road no one really drives down. It would be a great bug-out property if SHTF.
I just had an idea, Andrew! For "filming" your interior shots, build an enclosure for your camera. A cage. Make it out of plate steel! Why not? (I know a guy that can get pla...oh, never mind). Put an extendable (remote controlled) spire or rod with a steel ring on top. It will rise from the "ashes" and you just pluck it out when you are done. Paint it bright orange (or the color of your choice) and then just fish it out after everything is destroyed. The camera is protected and if you put legs on it, it won't fall over. Make it indestructible, like your castle.
Just think what you could film! Cement block structures being demolished, from the INSIDE! Plus, you can make a whole video of the construction of said "camera cage"! Win, Win!
Just a thought! Thanks for your great videos, Andrew! 😀
Having driven quite a few ground rods I can appreciate how hard they were to get out. They are not fun to put in.
The fact that he didn't just drive away and ignore them is a testimony to Andrew's character. Many wouldn't have taken the time to do what he did. The mark of a real man and a professional!
The older ones are solid copper- we are ham radio enthusiasts, and those things are hard to find!
Andrew you are the right stuff! Hard to imagine you are NOT from a older generation!!!!! Looking forward to your crusher run road project being finished it sure will help with all year access.
I saw 2 things you guys missed that were worth a couple hundred bucks. The old Iron bed upstairs (those things go for about 300 to 400, sometimes more if they have never been painted on. The other thing you missed was the wood stove. That would go easily for 100 to 300 in any trade paper. Especially the time period it comes from, and how sturdy they built things back then. I have a bed like the one you missed from my grand parents house and the reason why those go for so much, is those were hand made back around the turn of the century, and the box springs are hard to find for them, because they are made backwards compared to other box springs.
I said out loud, damn I would have taken that bed frame lol.
He will make that in a minute on this video
That bed screams TB or WWI infirmary.
With the amount of rot in that upper floor, trying to get that thing out without falling through the floor or destroying it... Honestly, I'd personally call it riskier than it was worth. First floor, perhaps. But up on that rotted out second floor? That's an ambulance call waiting to happen.
I saw the stove right away, that was a gem and the big fan ustairs👍
Wow going through the house you just wonder how it gets so bad of what was once a very cozy and loving home. Thanks for the tour.
Hey Andrew I know it's a old video but I wanted to say. About any old fridge or pop soda machine. Don't mess with that crap unless you know what type of freon is in them. A friend of mine got a old coke machine that worked. 2 year after he had it he didn't know it was a outdoor machine. The freon was 717 real nasty stuff. Ammonia based. You can't get 10 feet from a leak without passing out. One guy I worked with had to sit in a pressure bubble of oxygen because masks wasn't good enough. Take caution around some of it, its bad. Stay safe work on Mr.Tonka😊
Loved the video Andrew. Excellent work outside as well as the editing and camera angles.
WOW what a time capsule! Especially the shot of that calendar still on the MAY 1968 page, and the church letter from 72. Such a small house by today's standards, it almost seems unreal that a family actually lived there, so long ago. Couldn't really catch any detail on the catalog ( prices) I am sure that would have been a shock, especially being that it was before Nixon took us off the Gold Standard.
Andrew, you always have very interesting content. Thank you for walking us through the house.
Great job. A tooth bucket is a good tool as a rough rake but they don't pick up as well as a smooth bucket. It takes a lot of equipment to do these jobs. Thanks, Henry. Andrew did it right!
It’s called excavator
Andrew i would appreciate if you consider running for president with your honesty and loyalty to your customers you be a sure winner with you in the white house this county would be unstoppable (WE THE PEOPLE NEED YOU)
It's so sad to see the end of things like this house, think about all the memories of the people who lived in it and the good times they had in it and they are all gone.
Or bad memories- they arent all good
Nothing like a video from Andrew! Thanks for taking the time to walk through the house very interesting as always!
that dash in your truck is really starting to take shape. really taking on some character now. And with very little chainsaw alterations too! Great video, Andrew!
Caring is what sets you apart than most.
Be the change you would like to see in the world, to quote Gandhi. You certainly live up to that standard. Keep it up Andrew, greetings from Piraeus, Greece🇬🇷
Andrew Camarata, the quintessential man in the historical concept or definition of “dering do”. The risks he sees are nothing like what common people see. His abilities by far exceed the mind of the more commonly mundane thinker, in other words, his genius is just that…his abilities…which makes him appear to be completely fearless. However, make no mistake, they actually make him a genius. Just my opinion. I grew up with Camarata families in my home town of Mechanicville, NY, very fine family name. Thank you for very enjoyable videos!
Hey Andrew, excellent job on the demo. BTW, if you're wondering what happened to your large ball peen hammer see time stamp 43:19
haha... nice catch
It's ok, he got a new one at the end!
Andrew, I wanted to know just how you felt when you came out of that old house. I know I felt pretty depressed. I find it very sad watching an old house like this coming down. I think of all the Christmas mornings the kids ran down those stairs, the birthdays and celebrations, the sad times when the boys went off to war and the boys who didn't return. The prayers said in those old beds, and the dreams and hopes. It's day was over, of that there was no doubt, and when Andrew is done it will be a dear green place again as it was long ago.
John I felt the very same .
@George ..I would have saved the calendar..it looked to be in great shape...
@@dyer2cycle yeh and my birth year, i would have loved to have had that thing
It was kind of sad seeing that old house come down with all the memories and babies being bored of that house and people dying in the sounds of Kidson hopes and dreams
Them wine jugs underneath might be filled with some potent stuff.
Some of your best edit work to date, like you said...the small things aren't unnoticed. Nice work!
Andrew that ground rod at the end was an example of why you are the GOAT on you tube. Wishing you all the best.
I would guess that the camper was the last occupied dwelling on the property. Maybe sometime around in the 80's. The playground was probably built in that time period.
I agree.
Your work ethic is an example for the whole economy.
1:08:10 Recycling yard claw operator, I wonder if as a kid he ever got his favorite toy out of the arcade claw game. Why are Andrews videos so addictive?
The inside of that old fridge was in way better condition than I expected when you opened it…. Practically pristine compared to the outside. Kinda cool
I think he should find someone to restore it I think it would look good in his castle
I just had a girl messaged me yesterday saying she has the matching freezer and was very excited to get this fridge, she has not shown up yet though
@@AndrewCamarata well if she’s serious about it, I hope she gets it cleaned up and maybe even working. Would be a cool pair to show off.
It seems like she’s coming tomorrow morning, I’m going to try to make an unlisted video about her restoring it if I can get some photos from her after she finishes it.
@@AndrewCamarata that would be awesome! Keep us posted.
great job as usual! I have to say that since I´ve watch you building that huge castel house/workshop some years ago, I became inmediatly an admirer of your work, plus your dogs... I have a big pack of thirteen dogs and four cats, and they make my every day full of laughter. I´m chilean and live now in Chile, as well in the countryside, and I work with wood and metal, I taught my self how to do things on my own. Man you have been an inspiration for my doing, and since that first one of your videos I´ve wacht them all. I lived in Edmeston, NY, in 1980, for six month, when I was only fifteen years old, in some exchange program, and I still remember the landscape and the air carring old history. That period of time made a substantial change in my life. I admire the way you finish your jobs, always super professional, and I liked when you quoted Henry Ford, man that´s the spirit, you do it right only because it´s the only right way, not because someone is looking... when humanity understand that, then we wil be out of excuses to keep screwing things up!!
cheers mate...
Great saying Andrew but unfortunately most people are at their worst when people are not looking! We need more people like you in this world doing the right thing no matter who's looking! Great video!
Would be amazing if one of the manufacturers of forestry mulchers would lend one to Andrew for a year. Imagine the torture tests he’d put it through
Their biggest fear is him buying one and reviewing it. It's a piece of garbage or it broke for no reason. LOL.
I’m surprised he doesn’t have one by now. Probably would need a bigger skid steer to run it.
@@loveistheanswer8137 I think the TL12 should be big enough for that. I mean, that one is a pretty big and strong one considering that Andrew managed it to lift one side of the D4 with it.
But hey, i whould surely like to see that Andrew could get a Kubota SVL95 or similar.
"So we're gonna mulch this house today..."
Its not about power its about flow, need high flow to run most mowers and mulchers effectively
Also, once he mulched it, then what?
Lots of interesting things in that house; I was expecting some comment on the wood burning stove but it was trashed so I guess just tin and firebricks...ho hum. I love that brush cutter.
The pucker factor when that excavator dropped down while on the house rubble must have been high lol Great work as always Andrew
Yes I thought the same Or the tall chimney on the one end just kinda blowing in the wind while demo was going on. Personally I would have taken it down first to prevent collapsing on excavator.
That eerie, distorted music perfectly personifies and evokes thoughts of the passed souls that called this home and hopefully the wonderful lives they had here...
I wouldn't be surprised if the refrigerator still ran either.
That sofa bed in the living room is from the 1960s- we have one exactly like it and still use it!! My mother in law had a zippered upholstered cover made for it. Quite serviceable! It came from a motel during that era. Very comfortable!
I love getting notifications when Andrew uploads another video
And i hate it when the video is over and i have to wait for the next one. ;)
Me too
Me too
Me too!!!
@@hopperjeremy1 and me too
I hope D Dave was able to salvage some of the valuables from the house, and also teach Andrew a bit about the possibilities of selling house clearance items.
Great job Andrew - such pride in your work
A very good self advice comment. I like the phrase....”do a good job while no ones looking”. This means you will be first up to be invited back to do similar work again, Andrew.
I'm sure this old house has many stories , Thanks for taking us along to see the demo process . Thanks for recycling , I am glad they pay you for it .
Andrew, after all those years, that refrigerator was still frost free.😁
I wonder how many mice were "westing" in that Westinghouse
Very retro. Nice paint job, led lighting and it’s a great drinks cabinet, stereo rack etc.
@@gurueddy it would make a great refrigerator too
Good to keep welding rods in with a light on to keep them dry.
The world needs a bunch more people with the work ethics Andrew has.
Андрей, рад приветствовать Вас!
Смотрю ваши видео с большим удовольствием, очень нравится. Я занимаюсь такой же работой, сносим старые дома и вывозим мусор, только демонтаж мы делаем руками. Еще собираем вещи которые пригодны для дальнейшего использования и продаем в интернете, дополнительно на этом зарабатываем.
Я желаю Вам и вашему каналу роста, ждем новых выпусков)
Andrey, I am glad to welcome you!
I watch your videos with great pleasure, I like it very much. I do the same job, we demolish old houses and take out the garbage, only we do the dismantling by hand. We also collect things that are suitable for further use and sell on the Internet, in addition we earn money on this.
I wish you and your channel growth, we are waiting for new releases)
1) wouldn’t it be easier to knock it down and then get the big tracked-dozer loader to make quick work of the debris?
2) During the beginnings of the next apocalypse, everyone head over the Andrew’s castle estate, in upstate NY’s Hudson Valley
3)Character is doing the right thing even when no one is around to notice….your habits matter - we are what we repeatedly do
Nothing more satisfying than watching that bush hog flatten everything. Been following your channel over 5 years, mostly because I moved from the woods to the city 7 years ago after breaking my back and missed home. I can at least dream that this could have been me in another life.
Andrew you’re a special person. Good job here and on those ground rods in the end. 🙂
I feel absolutely sure Andrew would have pulled those electric ground wires up at the end regardless of whether a million people on YT were watching. That kind of character is probably in part why he has a million people on YT watching. 👍🏻
You KNOW it's gonna be a good time when Dumpster Dave shows up!
Hey Andrew, here's a tip. The old metal beds you destroyed for probably pennies on the pound for scrap, or sent to the dump. They sell for like $100 - $200 more then what they are worth as scrap. People go crazy for those beds, even if they have rust on them.
Next time I do this I’ll do a walk though first telling people everything is available. IDE be impressed to get anything for those beds.
@@AndrewCamarata The mattresses are trash. But the beds with a little cleaning, could sell on FB marketplace.
Ceases to amaze me Andy how you always go that extra mile for the clients who will always return,
Love seeing him doing jobs again, always something challenging and rewarding!!
Amazing job with the camera angles and cinematography! That sacrificial camra inside the house was awesome and super well placed it was the perfect vantage point to tell the story of destruction! True artwork
Thanks
@@AndrewCamarata wear do you get your experience in film work?
Doesn't matter how many are watching, if you hadn't pointed out the ground rods, we wouldn't have known. Integrity! BTW, that copper wire is the same price/pound as the copper pipe.
It's great to see that you still work for a living. I miss these videos'. Thanks for bringing them back.
I love how you do such a great job of cleaning up the site after the demolition. Quality work.
Someone had the camper there and maybe used it there so the club house was for the kids. As always another great video Andrew.
Andrew gracias por tus videos, podrias activar los subtitulos? Me fascinó este video, soy una señora de 68 años y veo siempre tus hermosas limpiezas de terrenos!! Gracias
Nice to see a piece of history frozen in time! Cool dual camera work inside the house Andrew.
Quality workmenship is no longer available in todays society! Real cool you keep the quality attitude with your work! Thats just outstandingly excellent!
The first thing that struck me was the Insulbrick siding. I lived in an area where many of the houses were old and neglected and were covered with it. My first house was nowhere as bad as this house but it was pretty seedy and required serious renovation. It wasn't covered with insulbrick but roof shingles. You can't get more seedier than that. I had to rip them all off to have it sided with vinyl. Glad those days are over.
loved seeing the house walkthrough, seeing dumpster dave and Blues bro always makes me smile. Really happy you salvaged some of the vintage stuff.
THIS IS HOW IT'S DONE!!!!!! And you saved the fridge! Good job man!! 🙌🙌🙌💙💙💙🤙🤙🤙😁😁😁
Great video. Exploration, Bush hogging, demolition, and a scrap run.
Hi Andrew Good Job man your channel is addictive me sitting here watching a guy do all that you do and i watch one and get enjoyment and i watch another, You must be one of the hardest workers on RUclips and you get satisfaction knowing that that's another Job done, Thanks for sharing , Cheers from The UK, Keep em coming Please.
1:25:02 That house was probably occupied in the early/mid 1980s, because 2 copper electrodes (10 foot copper ground rods) was not added to NEC. until after 1978 nationwide before that only one was required. Local Municipalities slowly over the course of about 3 to 5 years started requiring it to be installed to pass inspiration. There is often a latency period for local building department to enforce code changes because permits that were awarded before the code change and are not complete yet also contractors quoted work based on previous standards.
thx for the interior home tour, interesting items, my mind wanders: who lived there, what was their life like, were they warm in the winter, what caused the fire, a step back in time.
