      Bruce!! This was awesome, love this new "first perspective" thing you're trying. Really awesome view point for us i think, a really cool up close on this stuff, and honestly i like that its safer for you. And, now you can use both hands and that will make things easier. The narrative is always welcome to me Bruce such a can do spirit and always so positive, keep it up you bloody ripper legend

    Only thing I was worried about was you were climbing into a confined space, normally we need a toxic gas detection buzzer/kit on us and a spotter over in burgerland for that. Otherwise job well done!
    I've found that baraklean will take that gunk right out if you can get ahold of a jug so long as you throw the coveralls/clothes in a greaser washer. Next best thing is adding some simple green to the wash as a "detergent" or soaking them in simple green-water for about a day before sending through the wash like normal.

    • @ferretyluv
      @ferretyluv 8 месяцев назад +5

      I did notice that. Strange that other countries are supposed to be more safety-minded than us and yet being allowed to go into a confined space alone is pretty crazy to me. I think he doesn’t necessarily need to worry about gas because maybe it’s not a sewer and just a grease trap?

    We loved the video and the running commentary. The longer video like this is really neat, and going above and beyond is a great way to work.
    About 25 years ago I could have crawled in there but not now. Also for your clothes, a good soak in degreaser and hot water really helps to get the grease out. Of course so does making your clothes water/stain proof help with the laundry.

    Hi. Bruce. Just watched you go down into a grease trap mate. I've worked in subways during my time and it's so easy to get caught out, I sure you already know but thought I mention it. Gasses and there a loads of them especially in sewers can build up removing Oxygen . You will pass out and be dead before anyone realises.
    Get yourself an Oxygen monitor and put in in the hole before you go in, it's only got to save your life once.
