Burying another propane tank

This is why AC videos are the best: - Andrew's personality - diligence - mechanical talent - interesting video subjects - multiple camera angles and video edition At the end, AC videos make you feel there is sense and hope in this chaotic world.

The sand backfill is to help with the cathodic protection. One of the keys to getting effective protection is an electrically consistent media surrounding what you are trying to protect. The sand is porous so it allows water to contact the entire surface evenly. It is also pretty homogeneous. It is, after all, basically ground up rock. The sand allows the electrical current produced by the anode cathode relationship to flow more evenly. Soils, particularly ones with clay, can be varied in composition, ph, electrical potential and permeability. All of those can make cathodic protection less effective. We had a case where we put down a sand bed for a flat bottomed storage tank. As they were installing floor plates one of the workers had muddy boots covered in clay. Ten years later the floor developed multiple leaks. Everyone of the leaks had a muddy foot print under it. The floor scan was kind of funny the corrosion was all foot shaped and you could see every step he took.

It looked like you had a hard customer to deal with but your degree of professionalism was outstanding. Great job 👍

Andrew bites tongue several times in this video. The tension is real. When the tank floated... blood must have been swallowed. Not a single "I told you so" was spoken. Andrew marches on.

Your customer is anxious. It must make working difficult. You are very diplomatic.

A Levi-dog inspection after the job is free of charge, but mandatory! 😃👍

Your videos are so weirdly satisfying to watch, keep up the good work!

the “i love mother nature, but I also love my heated pool” customer.

The Rock Client is back!!!! "Can you move it again?" Lol

I knew I recognized that Burke Bar from somewhere... :) That's totally awesome, guys!

Andrew, Im a painting contractor in California and I love watching your videos and Essential Craftsmans also! I dig seeing the area shots from your drone...looks like maybe Albany or the Catskills. Thanks for the awesome content.

Great to see the old guy helping on the job. He seems keen and willing to pitch in. Great video. 👍

Andrew is the boss. While he’s got an enormous rock on the lift he swings by the camera, picks it up and keeps filming without a cut. 👍

Look at that ! Andrew changes the position of the camera ON THE FLY !!! without shaking it much. Great job Andrew AGAIN !

Andrew is an artist with that bucket. I've worked with a number of excavators over the years - some really good ones. But when I watch Andrew on that bucket, it seems more a hand at work picking up, pushing, pulling things, rather than a machine.

Here in the uk if the water level in the ground is high, like where you are. A concrete pad and fix to it is the way to go. Thanks for the video

The best explanation ever...."2 metal things sandwiching a rubber thing" .....lol

Another great get her done AC video, glad to see you are doing well Andrew. your gentle manipulation of the huge rocks is so impressive to watch! Levi is looking fantastic! Thanks again for sharing your awesome life Andrew

4:53 when strong AF Andrew Camarata takes you and easily lifts you by your neck with his bare left hand))

That guy was driving me nuts. Not only was he too close but he was trying to help with the connection of the bucket which could result in a lost digit or two. Thank God for the kneepads.
