That bucket, finessed to the millimetre and yet could crush Tim to a pulp! To have built that level of trust just shows how vital good teamwork can make the process look easy. It would be good to see the day through his perspective as part of your films. Thanks for another well produced upload.

Great job Chris and Tim. Tim trust you and that is a good sign of the operator skill. I have worked in my youth with one operator I trusted not to kill me. If I was able I would work with you any day. Disability really sucks and I hope you or Tim never see it. Keep up the good work and can't wait to see the long reach on the mud removal job. Thanks for sharing Chris.

If you cut about 2-3 feet off the spigot side of the first stick you lay on ADS pipe you can use it as a push pipe so you don’t have the chance of ruining the bell end. Just make sure to remove the gasket and the Tim will be able to pull it from the bell after you get the pipe home. Just a trick we use up here in WA. Keep up the great work guys!

He's always been like that. He totally trusts that Chris will never come into contact with him with the bucket. [EDIT] I've just thought about Digginok (Frank) who digs ditches on building sites with a back hoe. He makes the neatest ditches you ever saw (if the dirt is not against him) and sometimes does stuff so impressive that his stick man doffs his hard hat at him. Now that is proper kudos. Chris is still a better all round operator, but I have to say that Frank digs a tidier ditch.

I saw a video where a culvert always froze solid in the winter. Come spring thaw the water would back up and then flow over the road. To remedy this issue a 3” pvc or abs pipe was placed through the culvert with 90 degree elbows at each end and stand pipes coming up. The pipes were capped off creating a sealed chamber. All pieces were glued except for the inlet side stand pipe was only pushed down into the elbow. The caps weren’t glued. In the spring the caps were removed. The inlet side standpipe was pulled twisted out of the elbow. This allowed the water that was backing up to flow through to the other side. Lowering the water level and thawing out the ice in the culvert. Then water would eventually flow through the area around the 3” pipe and melt the frozen ice in the culvert.

Set your skill saw about 1/8" deep. Cut down the full length of the pipe 3 runs at 120 degrees. Set the pipe with one of the cuts top dead center. Coragations full up and never floats. Enjoy your channel. My 87 year old Dad likes it too.
