  • The reason it takes off at 36 min is because the exit is lower making a vacuum siphon. Just found out what this man made pond was built for, it for cutting out ice blocks before electric refrigerators. This was for the real ice boxes that used a block of ice to keep food fresh
    The excitement starts after 19:00 .I was fighting lots of water pressure but I found it easier to just let the leaves pass through by scraping mt feet and the rake back and forth. As I was raking it created an undertow moving crap from the bottom of the lake over instantly and that is what took so long, I gave this my own inspection 5 months back and the grate is safe but the underground pipe is not and It is in the process of failing. The rock I found may have just fallen in. This time I got before and after video of the end. A shovel would not work well for this job so stop commenting that
    I do not encourage anyone to enter culverts, unclog anything, or enter flooded areas as it can easily become deadly without the proper training
    I unclog drains for fun in my spare time (I have been trained in culvert inspections for years with private co.) and I am osha trained.
    Exploring anything abandoned can be dangerous or deadly without experience. I don't encourage anyone to enter any abandoned structures. Not only is safety a concern, but often times its illegal, and when possible I seek out permission from the owner or local police. I simply go to document its history before it's gone forever and I leave things the way I find them. I only take pictures and only leave footprints. I assume all the risks and responsibility before doing this. Please don't attempt to do this on your own. There could be nails, asbestos, falling concrete, soft floors, animals, or other hazards.

Before anyone says he;s making money from the youtube videos, you have to remember he was doing this before he had a single follower. He's been doing this because it's his passion and I applaud him.

    I had to rack my brain and think about if I EVER watched any videos of anyone unclogging drains. This is, literally, the first video I've seen of such an activity. I watched from start to finish and thoroughly enjoyed every second. I think I have a new video category to explore. Thank you.

    I've gone from watching carpets getting cleaned, to seals being rescued from nets, to parasites being removed from shrimps, to drains being unclogged by a lone ranger. I regret nothing.
    Edit: for carpets I watch Advanced Cleaning Systems, seals is Ocean Conservation Namibia, and shrimp parasites is Jacob Colvin. I've also started watching bee removals from JPthebeeman, ants living fantastic lives with AntsCanada, and Altai throat singing from VEK (the video, Word of Baatyr. Throat singing, got me hooked). I swear, the internet links me to the strangest, and oddly satisfying, things to watch. I'm here for it though.
    Edit again: IDK why, but YT only just started sending me replies for this. For anyone who's interested, the comment chain has some interesting suggestions down there! Cleaning cow hoofs, repairing paintings, barnacles removed from sea turtles, car detailing, ice skating, iceburg seperation, beaver dam removals, guinea pig cleaning; people! I never knew YT could be so interesting! Thank you all for the suggestions, I'm heading to watch some new things soon!
