The stonework is Amazing in the old ones you unclog. Thanks Cuz

[@PleasantlyConfused6816]

Culverts, bridges and ditches…oh my fan here! Love your channel!!

[@Grab_your_Waders]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@KatherineUribe-1]

Good job draining the stream. I'd like to see you go back and take that log out: maybe bring your hand saw and a shovel, or even a chain saw. Those logs don't belong there and are holding back a lot of silt. I liked seeing the eel. I live on the other side of the country. So, I really enjoy seeing your local flora and fauna. Keep up the good work!🤗

[@lancer525]

The way those logs were stacked up in that culvert opening almost looks like they were placed there intentionally to create a silt trap.

[@julieyoung9540]

That's wot I was thinking 🤔

[@Grab_your_Waders]

My opinion is that they ended up like that over a long period of time

[@holmesjunction]

Two legged beavers?

[@lilmsmetal]

They wouldn’t have landed straight across if they were randomly there…

[@carolb29]

Love the old stone culvert! It'll be there after the new ones have fallen apart.

[@lynnduncan6139]

That was a major improvement! Great job.

[@Grab_your_Waders]

I think so too!

[@jeffclark2725]

The Arcetecture building that culvert, You do not see block built anything anymore, a historical landmark, great video, thumbs up

[@gramof5396]

You take us to such different places thanks for the video!

[@Grab_your_Waders]

Glad you like them!

[@MarkSutphin]

Prolly needs an excavator to dig all that dirt and silt out, great job getting it down to that level!! Post10 fan here, youve definately got great content!!

[@maxdukefox]

Yes he does!!!!

[@LoveShaysloco]

As long as it doesn't reclog the dirt and silt should just erode back to how it was before the clog

[@navigatorofnone]

Wow those logs looked like they have been stuck there for decades. 😱

[@Roy-l7v]

Hi, that is an old culvert. looks like they used old rails for the structure. nice job once again..

[@njmileur5003]

It’s built beautifully, I love seeing things built with pride, too bad, now days it’s fixed or built for right now with cheap stuff.

[@johnlaforte700]

Gloves man gloves. You are handling infested things. Great job in difficult situation.👍👍😎

[@ywc378]

Thanks for caring!

[@brendaeberly676]

Beautiful architecture. They don't make them like they used to.

[@stacy5445]

Sometimes large logs were used to regulate the amount of water being released, sort of like a “lock” dam. You did say it looked like a very old bridge and culvert! You did a great job removing those large ones! Be safe!

[@EmmaTaylor-mk5yn]

That was great what u were able to get out of the way. This would certainly make a good revisit n the future when it was lower do it would b safer. Ty for sharing

[@robbieoverby1694]

Love your content. The community owes you. The state should pay you. Happy Easter 2024

[@raquelhernandez1733]

That must've been a significantly amount of rain to carry those heavy logs down and get them stuck like that. The e water was running more freely after you got them out. Thank you for the amazing video. Be careful, be safe and God bless you, dear heart!

[@katmalone3696]

Great job on removing the logs and letting the water flow. You’re getting better at your camera angles. Nice to see you up and about and doing what you like to do. Keep up the good videos

[@Grab_your_Waders]

Thanks 👍

[@ltgray2780]

Perhaps during a dry spell you can dig out those logs. Glad you are careful and keep up the good work.

[@Grab_your_Waders]

Good call!

[@dolorescoelho4282]

This is my favorite video of yours. I would love to see a return to clear more

[@kelvingrebert7315]

excellent improvement. u may need to get onto the Public Works Super to get that blockage removed

[@mnomadvfx]

It's likely DOT related, and that level of build up means at least half a decade of neglect so I wouldn't hold my breath for any help from them.

[@lindagastello7144]

I always look forward to your videos😊 👍

[@Grab_your_Waders]

Glad you like them!

[@luannvondracek439]

Love the content. You keep rolling logs like that you may want to cancel your gym membership 😉

[@rustienielsen6803]

Are you sure this wasn't a man made damn? It looks to be pretty well built and the logs are in there perfect.

[@tuckerdale-g4u]

Fantastic job

[@richiegangemi5258]

[@Tbird1549]

Great job again! Thanks for another awesome video! Stay safe!

[@TheDismack]

would love to see an update after the recent crazy rain falls.

[@TheCatMantle]

Great job, enjoy watching your videos 😊

[@Grab_your_Waders]

Thank you 🤗

[@jimbruce3923]

Would really like broader shots, showing a little more overall of the area. Most of us know what water going over a blockage looks like.😊 Just a suggestion, it would be better to see everything your doing.

[@Grab_your_Waders]

Noted!

[@Joy-TX]

I enjoyed the closeups. Be careful the water looks awfully swift. See you next time 😊

Good job brother 👏

[@kellyjoiner4418]

Those logs weren't meant to be there? Great culvert, those huge pieces, with little ones throughout. Nicely done 🌞

[@southernbiscuits1275]

Considering the size of the logs you were pulling out, you did a great job! Made me nervous when you got close to the edge.

[@cesarbernales7638]

[@Grab_your_Waders]

Hello 😊

[@jackiejones1684]

That looked like quite a dangerous place. Stay safe

[@ursulapanikowski5065]

I love how everybody follow Post 10. Post 10 always going to be big leader.

[@MrMalu01]

I hope you back here soon to remove all of this. Great job 👍🏼

[@mnomadvfx]

Definitely a shovel job with nothing going into the water, the flow wasn't strong enough to take it away.

[@timkai]

... this is BEYOND neglect. Was this culvert under some abandoned road or no longer used stretch of railway? That's not even a few YEARS of buildup, its probably decades or more!

[@craigschrock7959]

Would have been nice to see whole job finished

[@AnnewithanA73]

Looks like part of the old canal system…Erie or Champlain?😊

[@albertcyphers1532]

New York doesn't maintain their roads. You expect them to clean waterways?

[@hvcomputech]

That culvert seems wide enough for a train track. Maybe they’re responsible for it?

[@Falconurbex]

Great job brother post 10 would have enjoyed that keep up the good work.

[@Grab_your_Waders]

Thanks 👍

[@fatman3785]

You should revisit when the level has gone down. Maybe bring an axe.

[@mnomadvfx]

And a shovel for the silt. Just chucking it into the culvert without enough water volume to take it away is just creating a new mess inside the culvert instead of in the entrace.

[@garryhancock3394]

That looks placed there, like someone wanted to make a wetland area......

[@deineadam2240]

I think that's been blocked a very long time.

[@Grab_your_Waders]

For sure!

[@fayedewitt4183]

😊

[@ИринаКизим-к4ы]

Ну ты даёшь стране угля, может это специально сделали.

[@brandonbeltzer4136]

you could have brought a chainsaw for when you get to the pieces that was harder to pull out! you could saw down the middle and pushed it down instead of pulling it out and tiring yourself too much

[@mnomadvfx]

Using a chainsaw on something partially submerged like that is a very bad idea. You don't know what's underneath it like rocks that could damage the chain and perhaps send pieces flying into you.

[@Grab_your_Waders]

@mnomadvfx not to mention the amount of bar and chain oil you'd put into the water running the saw with the bar in the water.

[@ursulapanikowski5065]

Hello everyone from post 10.

[@krojas7607]

You need to carry a shovel with you and a battery operated chainsaw with you

[@kevindevine5102]

looks like they were placed there on purpose.

Please come back with a chainsaw

[@ricardom2627]

you might want to use your camera on your stand and grab a shot of from the interior so you can see what it loos like, all that mud and other debris built up against the block will likely be 3+ feet deep.

[@jeriwollmann7366]

Pretty great video man. This is a project culvert. Every week or after the storm check in. Erosion will help alot. Using your saw or chainsaw too. Definitely keeping an eye out for a follow-up man. Cheers man.👍💪😊❤️

More huge logs and another much needed culvert clear out. Really enjoy your channel, thanks.

[@Grab_your_Waders]

Always lol

[@fergabmmx]

its weird to see those logs put like that .... straight across and leveled like if was part of the design .... how much time those were there like that ... decades?

[@mnomadvfx]

Nah, all it takes is a bad flood to set one log in place and then silt will begin to build up, and then another storm and another chance log locking in place. All you see is the logs that stuck there and not the ones that actually washed through the culvert. The narrower the culvert is, the more likely this can happen which is why it never happens on a full blown bridge culvert.

[@robinharrison3907]

Fantastic Job Bud 👍👍👍

[@durhamguy]

Probably there's no one alive who saw the bottom of that culvert judging by the silt build up

[@mnomadvfx]

Nah, 10-15 years at most. There's probably no one alive who saw the culvert get constructed though. a granite box example like that.

[@hyrumsmith3280]

Nice job. I picked you up when you did the Hudson River twin culverts. You know what you’re doing and you know your physical limit. 😅
