Surprise Beaver Dam on a Hot Dry Day | Culvert Unclogging

Its that time of year when its extremely hot and dry here. I was completely unprepared on this day when I came across a dam the beavers had built to stop some irrigation run off. Sorry for the terrible angle, I didn't have any of my equipment with me on this day. Beaver dams are few and far between when it gets this dry here this time of year so couldn't pass it up. Watch for snakes!

Cold and wet in Ireland. Farmers are only on their second silage cut and some are already using this year's first cut to feed cattle because grass growth is so slow. I only have about half an acre to cut and I've cut it three times this year... usually I have cut it 7 or 8 times by now and am happy growth is slowing due to mid-Summer being past. Things are going to be serious next Winter. Imagine not being able to grow grass in Ireland!!! I can hardly believe it.
I'm still enjoying your videos and love when your Dad is with you.
Best Wishes, Brendan.

Thanks for not zooming in on that S….! 😂 🤣🤣🤣

My snake count was 3. If there were any more that I missed, I don't know that I would care to find out. 😂 You have some very playful water snakes there, that's for sure!

Stay hydrated in that heat

What’s the pink strap tied to that grate?

[@BarrettFarms]

Just to help hold the grate in place. Sometimes, if the mud foundation underneath them is dug out, the grate tends to want to tip back away from the pipe. Mainly needed when a backhoe or excavator is used around the pipe opening.

I don’t get in the water either

I don't mind in the winter but we just have too many critters I don't want to have a close encounter with during the warm months. I haven't encountered an alligator yet, but they are all around us here.
