      get yourself a pair of water proof pants.
      and wear them over you're boots don't tuck them in.
      This will let you move around in deeper water and your feet will be dry.

      @@LabTech41 This is a great idea. I'd add a pair of limb lopping shears to the kit list. While I was watching those limbs being pulled out of that clog I kept thinking about them forming another one down stream. Getting those longer limbs cut into smaller chunks before sending them downstream will help keep other culverts etc from clogging. Plus keeps hands out of cold water as much as possible.

    What i appreciate about you doing this work, is that i have seen first-hand what happens when the crews repsonsible for maintenance dont do their jobs. In 2003 Hurricane Isabel came to Virginia, dropping something like 15 inches of water in a 25 hour period on top of Richmond VA, and theres a low place near downtown called Shockoe Bottom. It dates from the mid 1800s, and has lots of restaurants, shops and nightspots. We call it the Shockoe Bottom Bathtub, because of the terrain, and it ultimately drains(thru some culverts) into the James river. Well, when the rains came, no one realized that the culverts were clogged. They had not had maintenance in at least 10 years, and were full of debris and grown trees. Cars with drivers got picked up and floated down and the drivers drowned, because the area filled up with water so fast. The videos of it are horrifying. One lady screaming help me, help me, i cant get out! And she and the car were found two days later, but by then she was gone. Several others drowned as well, but not in the same area. Many businesses were literally under water, and took months if not years to recover. After the investigation it was revealed the culverts had blocked the drainage to the river. There were lawsuits, etc. All this to say, Post 10, you are doing very important work, and i know you know that, but i want others to know that! God bless you and keep you safe.

    • @MistedMind
      @MistedMind 4 года назад +43

      It's really astonishing to me how a city-council responsible for that kind of maintenance work doesn't understand the risks coming with cutting funding for that work...
      "Too expensive, we'll deal with it later, it won't be so bad really"... NO FORESIGHT AT ALL... One could get mad if it wasn't so sad.
      I hope those in charge were held responsible, and the replacement people will learn from those mistakes.
      It is the same with global warming I fear. The consequences of procrastination / doing nothing will be a wake-up-call, but it will be too late, most likely.

      Please don’t be fooled, the concept of controllable global warming (AGW) is a scam. There’s no reliable evidence to support Michael Mann’s hockey stick predictions. In fact there’s more reliable evidence to the opposite... sleep easy.

      I have been there to Shockoe, I live not far from Richmond, the news showed the bus driver putting the bus in a deep part to rescue a couple people, it was amazingly scary, that water came up so fast that there was nearly no reaction time. and YES, this fellows one rake swing at a time helps the world more than some departments that are paid to do so.

    I seriously applaud your efforts in providing civil engineering services to the public free of charge. I might suggest that you carry 2 more tools; a machete and a shovel.
    The machete can be used to reduce the size of long branches as to reduce the chance of clogging what is down stream. The shovel to create channels in which when water starts to flow through the culvert it will wash away the soil, muck and other debris. Always start at the highest elevated culvert first to harness the kenetic energy before you lower the standing water (More wash down power). If you decide to launch a piece of tree down the culvert make sure to rotate the stump bottom first so the branches don't dig in. For example , people drive a Christmas tree ontop of a car with the base facing the front of the car. It's more aerodynamic: less drag.
    Love your work...
    Love your videos...
    I used to do the same thing as you've done 20 years in Decatur, Georgia. Totally frustrated by the streets flooding out caused by careless lawn care workers blowing leaves and grass into the streets.
