    Gavin I'm sorry, I have to admit I laughed a little when you showed yourself covered in mud. It just reminded me of the good old days of being a child shoeless and playing care free in the rain and mud and not a care in the world. 😇😇
    Thanks for letting your employees sit in the truck to stay dry, Toad, crazy ball, and traffic controller probably really appreciate it. 😂🤣😅😆

    Are you concerned about injection injuries from the high pressure water? They can be very serious due to infection. Love your videos. I assume red belly and browns are another potential source of "injection injuries".

    That little penetrator may be a simple design but packs a powerful punch, worth its weight in gold. The smile on your customer's face, recording you pulling that massive root out better earned you a customer for life. If that man ever calls anyone else, it better be because you went out of business. That's better than any advertising you could ever do. First-hand real-time clearing in front of the customer. Outstanding job Gavin.

    The Welsh say chucking it down when describing heavy rain, the British say tipping down (or bucketing down), Australians apparently say teeming down and we Canadians say its pouring down or cats and dogs. interesting how there is so many ways to say it's raining. I'm sure there is many more I don't know about or currently can't remember.

      @Dana.1 2 года назад

      Jetting apart that root was not efficient use of Gavin's time when he's slammed during a storm. The customer is having all those trees cut down anyway and that root was thick and securely connected. That's why there were logs everywhere. It was flowing nicely when he left.

    • @penetratorblockeddrains
      @penetratorblockeddrains  2 года назад +1

      @Dana nice reply. Yeah I was just running around getting as many drains flowing as I could. The roads flooded later that day so I couldn’t do any more as I could t get to those areas.
