im sorry i uploaded that video at 720p...... i have the original thats 4k and im thinking about re-uplaoding it in HD

[@grahamrankin5936]

Kudos for what you are doing, but I would echo the sentiments of other commentators:- 1. Get a bigger, stronger (metal) rake, the small plastic one you are using won't last 2. Rake any debris up onto higher land so it's not dragged back into the drain 3. Wide angle shots of the area showing before, during and after, we like to see how much difference you are actually making Have a look at Post 10, he's been doing it for a while and knows what he is doing. Please accept this as constructive criticism, what you are doing is grate (pardon the pun) but could be so much better and more enjoyable for your viewers. Keep up the good work!!

[@delphane3704]

I concur 😃 I realize all drain systems aren't the same but if there is one on one side of the street please walk straight across the street and see if there is another. ( post 10 follower)

[@Raja-vg8og]

And mentally mark where the drain vents are so that you need not keep wandering from street to street to find them every time ....

[@3104foverer]

Point 2 is crucial... everytime I see those videos I think that debris should be thrown away, not simply put aside (it will cover rhe grate in a day or less). And why don't use boots and gloves...

[@alberteinstein9176]

I don't understand why he waits before removing leaves from drains. Clear it immediately when you see it. Tom

Ya! Wtf? And does this person live on that street? I know where my street drains are, I drive by them everyday, twice on Sunday!! 😁 Oh! STOP planting trees, especially MAPLE so close to a street drain!😒

[@ninerjamie]

For health reasons, glad you finally got some rubber boots. Might want to carry some rubber gloves also. You see debris get caught up & need to be cleared by hand. And you might not see crazy stuff like syringe needles before it's too late, so you need to be careful. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK for your community!

[@rohaizalmohamad2092]

Have a plan , when raking the leaves , pull them away from the drain to higher ground . Also , have a wide shot of the area more than close up so we could view the changes you caused .

My guess is they watch post 10 and thats where the got the idea to try it lol

[@cathiwim]

You need to flip the debris up onto the curb, otherwise its right back in the road. You also need a lesson in civil engineering- how to locate drains. Where you see one, theres usually another right across the street. Get the leaves OFF the grate! Anywhere you see an indentation in the curb, thats probably where the drain grate is. You also need a bigger sturdier garden rake.

[@perrybassett9930]

Cant you buy a 2nd hand rake , cause the one your using , looks like , the 1st tough pile of leaves it comes up against , it going to shit itself . Im certain , there are yard sales around, where for $5 you can get a decent rake ,, yours , looks a bit , limp wristed ,,anyway , well done.

[@wendymorrison5803]

Doing good for your community and most importantly for kids. Thanks.

[@gregleithoff5943]

How about a REAL rake instead of the kids version?

[@marciloni12]

😂😛

[@amandahudson431]

Needs more instructions on finding the drains. Rake the rest of the leaves off!

[@Penguirrel]

I would suggest investing in a garden rake instead of that small leaf rake. Garden rakes have a wide flat row of hard tines to make clearing debris easier. It also can be used to grind the debris through the grate if need be. Your current rake looks like it is struggling with the slightest of blockage.

[@Bobrogers99]

Actually, that smaller rake is very useful for clearing drains. I've used one with great success.

[@brutus1967]

Nice job you two. Great bubbling action. I like how the drains are set in those cutouts along the street. Very enjoyable to watch.

[@johnshep1986]

Have to watch post 10 vids! He’s a pro!! Lol good on you though for clearing up the floods

[@nathannoble9741]

A pro? Laughable.

[@TheGramophoneGirl]

I love what you are doing. A wider shot would be good - so we can see what difference/benefit you've made. Also, when the water's gone, it would be great to see you clear the drain again so that the flood doesn't come back. Last thing: wear gloves. Do not touch the drain. You only need to be pricked by an infected needle to end up with a lifelong infection! Safety first!

You've given them something to talk about all day. You really did good. Did you ever find the first clog that you couldn't find? Thanks for the video.

[@ameliatoreson1590]

The drains are usually right across from one another . You may want to pace them off and see if they are so many feet apart .

You rake in the direction of the swirl and pull debris UP on the curb away from the drain. STOP reaching into the water with your hands.

[@vincepepin6891]

Take a bucket with you to pit the leaves in. When they come out to thank you .Say your welcome can I put the leaves I raked out in your garbage please. I'm sure they will let you.Just to get them away from the drains.

You should poke all the leaves through the grate. It won't block the pipe and will drain water faster.
