Yes! All of those and a friendly addition...his music choices. They are works of art, his videos.

- Awkward Customer Appeasement

Amen!

Way better than Chucke2009

@Brexit Monger here here well said that man

tapemeasure man thought he was in charge?

Agreed when I saw him hit ground water, I said dude listen to Andrew. He tried to tell you.

I love mother nature from my heat pool. More like ..

@SISSY Ladyboys eh i consider man made pools to be unsightly if not a custom pool designed to look good.

@Melissa Susanne SISSY Ladyboy I’m still the “I love Mother Nature, but I also love my heated pool” customer. Heated pools are so nice.

I was wondering about corrosion burying the tank below the water table. Reading up on cathodic protection helped me understand, and it's really cool tech. Thanks!

You should go find that worker and slap him silly

pea gravel or #8 chip stone is better no compaction issues. cathodic protection is a science understood by very few

I've always wondered how that bag works

@@nduncad686 only works if you take it out of the plastic bag and wet it. dug many up that were still wrapped in plastic

It an all mighty pry bar have to say that with arnold schawzenegger accent

that was my favorite part of the entire video haha!

He's a pro.

@THE REV REPORT I fixed tires in high school. It was always "well, it's $15 if you watch, $12 if you go over the cafe next door and have a bite to eat while I work".

@@piquat1 $50 if you want to help.

This knee pad guy is always "helping" Andrew lol

@@BS0821 probably he is just gardener

Yeah i heard he’s in Ulster county

Yeah, that ground to air transition was perfect.

I feel wierd when people come to do stuff at my house. Although I live in a suburb, it is still akward to just stand around. This guy could have went in his house, but still.

Andrew has a relationship with the homeowner, as he has buried another tank...possibly other work...but...they talk it out to make the best decisions. And the homeowner has obviously been around some equipment to be able to properly hook up the chains and measure the excavation area.

Yes, to the really good ones, the controls are an extension of themselves.

LMAO the fussy rock guy.

at around 24:00 he needs to put a rock at each end of that floating tank.

5:40 "That looks pretty good. I see what they mean, it matches the one on the right."

I’m picky, I’d hate to have me as a client!

I mean the client is paying for it so...

I understand the theory behind knee pads, and I don't dispute their usefulness. But nothing says "I am a construction novice" like wearing kneepads all day and never kneeling down.

Andrew should charge for post Pathology services with the Levi Lab inspection all he needs now is a cat so he could also charge for a cat scan! Tony From Western Australia

Especially if its freshly dug pond.....

Mlm

NOTHING GETS BY LEVI PERIOD.

Love Levi...... He's always around. Great dog.

Me too! I always wondered if these KZfaq guys know each other

Yeah, that thing is nice for back filling. It gets a good scoup and makes the ground smooth.

Ole' Mr. Kneepads

Jackass with nothing better to do than bird-dog the job.

@@JohnSmith-lw2bm in my mind I was saying the guy is a micro manager but I like bird dogging the job much better.

Rob LK I was getting irritated just watching

@@JohnSmith-lw2bm If he is paying he can watch all he wants

@Dominic or increase the weight of the cover ballast.Tank now appears to be 500 gallons(driver put 450 gallons of propane it it to get it to sink) so now we're talking over 4000 pounds of ballast on the top to keep it from floating when empty.Problem will occur during high ground water event when tank is half or more empty.Simple physics.

Do them all the time. It won't float up. Lol

It's not going to be submerged in water once the backfill was done...yah,yhere will be water around it,but the backfill displaced the water...jeez

@@amossnowdaharleyman9179 --- I question the propane installer's answers, it's really hard to defy the laws of physics. I know people try it all of the time but it doesn't work. In North Carolina I've seen propane tanks installed with 3 yards of ready mix concrete over the top to prevent them from floating.

Another saying for a T-Shirt!

Yeah, changing that seat was great too. That truck is comfortable now.

The tank supplier fits large concrete pads to the bottom of the tanks over here to prevent this. They stay there when it's craned in. I was surprised too at the propane guy's comments.

Yep empty tanks float once there is water in the hole.

@Summit X Those "clueless idiots" get paid barely over minimum wage to handle highly explosive materials all day long 6 days a week so people like you can keep your cold feet warm. Have a lot more important things to be worrying about than a 2,000 lb 1/4" thick steel tank moving slightly. The only thing regulated is the micro size of your balls so as to not hopefully reproduce.

Or a fence?

The gas guys said it could float until it was buried so it did as they said.

I went back and listened again and your absolutely right. My bad I misheard the first time around.

@@grnmtn1615 Thats sweet. Everything else you said about the customer being fine was right, if people think he was being difficult they haven't dealt with many people I think.

Michael Magill If you are bothered about working with people or just having people watching over you/watching you then this is clearly not your line of work, and you should seek something else in life 👌🏻 Andrew here let's the whole world watch him, doing his work, and that obviously doesn't bother him, so having the owner of the property that hires you to do some work, watch you should be no case for concern.

His skepticism of these guys was fucking hilarious... he knew better than they did

they said it wouldn't float after its buried or if it was not buried it wouldn't float if it was full of propane. It literally did exactly what they said it would do.

Not sure if that was the best location, low,wet,and prob. going to float away during heavy rains

Yeah we just had a load of work done. Started by asking the earthworks guy and even got the geotech engineers to come around to his thinking. You pay a professional for their knowledge, why not use it

Point was that it won't start to rise out of it's hole when it gets empty after it's completely buried.

Dr R Nieboer is it like thicker quality not some thin fabric that will wear out fast?

Donut Cop exactly. Only missing a catch phrase or two! But thick and heavier than most.

they a great T shirt, very happy with mine. Kept me warm all winter as an extra layer.

The tee shirt is really good and heavy.

@@dumdumdugan1940 00

i think if he just made videos to protect himself from owners he wouldn't bother editing them. usually with youtube videos that are longer than 10 minutes i get bored because its just unedited and seems lazy, with Andrew i can easily watch 30 minute + videos because he edits his videos well and it's never boring, he is as good at editing as he is with his work in excavation and everything else, a jack of all trades

@@Murtagh653 , Andrew is a smart cookie.....

Crazy owners? The owner seemed chill.

Glad im not the only one who noticed!

Wally Waite He’s the customer that pays the bill so who cares. I worked on a job with my Dad years ago and the husband and wife customers (retired) changed their minds several times on things after they were “completed” according to previous plans. They kept paying the bill so we kept completing the changes. Andrew likely charges by the hour so every time a rock gets moved an inch or 2 probably buys a gallon of gas or diesel.

He's the guy paying for the work. He can be the micro, macro or any other mgr he wants to be. It's his project.

It’s not micro manager. The guy with the excavator is just there to excavate. It’s the guy with the tape measure his job to determine the position of the hole.

Part of being in business serving others is remembering who's in charge... the man with the checkbook. Humility is a great character trait. Arrogance is definitely not.

Wally Waite he is micromanaging nothing

Hilarious, & so true!! Andrew knows what he's doing!!

@Brexit Monger Your right . . . my imagination often gets too active. I need someone like you, that lacks imagination, to bring me back down to reality. This wasn't addressed to you . . . and it wasn't posed as a question that needed an answer. Certainly not from the caliber as you.

@Brexit Monger I got the idea AFTER seeing the video titled Levi's Birthday Party. Which you should watch. It is rather unusual compared to the rest of his videos. So, I meant nothing disrespectful to the dog or Andy. I have the highest regard for both and put his videos in my favorite category. I wasn't envisioning the dog in a clown costume, or something else demeaning. Only people like yourself could paint a objectionable picture out of it. Presently it is only a Conceptual piece . . . NOTHING concrete or defined at all. So how could you, or anyone else be offended by an idea . . . ? Especially when it doesn't have any thing to do with you . . .? I don't object to criticism or people disagreeing with me. But when they define something like "smart-ass" or "crass" when it's only vaguely described by myself. . . that is objectionable. Not to me . . . but because it's such a empty ''response''. These are extremely explosive times. In which people, like you, are offended at anything they don't understand, or that seems out of the ordinary. Instead of welcoming communication, it seems easier to shut it down. Anyway, thanks for sharing your valuable opinion. Read a book.

"Thank you for the great video. Greetings from Germany Robert"
