Unleashing FLOOD WATERS - Lake Drain Unclog

After ALL the rain we've been getting I checked out the lake drain and AGAIN it needs to be unclogged. I've never done it this many times in one year but hey, I'm not complaining. I love it down there.
Would love to have you SUBSCRIBE to the channel, like and comment on the video. All the best, and Happy 4th of July weekend!

Thanks for this video. Keep on keeping on...don't let the negative Nellies dampen your spirit.

[@kathyjean4785]

Thank you for helping to keep the drain clear.

[@GoldenNugget.]

Great Job again Brent, this just fasonates me seeing how fast that water can run after you cleared it out !! 😃👌🤩

[@UpNorthMowingDude]

@@GoldenNugget. Thanks Claire!

Love watching the green algae coming across the surface of the lake 😊 Great job 👍🏻

[@JudyHart1]

I think that’s pollen.

[@carolinemiddleton5066]

Wow that place is the gift that just keeps on giving ❤ thank you for sharing it with us x

[@josephlanguemi]

Maintenance, Maintenance, Maintenance. Keep it going.

[@lynnmorang174]

You guys really got the rain!! This is the highest I've seen this. Any higher and you'll need regular waders!😮

[@griz61]

Yeah I learned that already watching a few other ones. Good job

[@lightwavz]

That log looks like a way to shimmy out to the drain without sinking in the mud and was probably placed purposely. But, that being said, it is probably slimy as snail snot and you wouldn't catch me trying to walk out on it. But I'm sure someone would or could. I love this location. Thanks for coming back. And thanks for annoying the "HOA Warrior" who needs to take a minute and assess the beauty of the dragonfly population skimming across that glorious duckweed and the sunlight shimmering up into those branches. Excellent footage!

[@igotmeonthis]

You are the best. We appreciate you. Hopefully laugh at crazy people but I am sure it takes a toll

[@UpNorthMowingDude]

It does take a toll. So many assumptions are made and some people are so negative. It's a shame.

[@ViKee010]

You should let those voices completely slide off your back. Actually, I wouldn’t take a moment to even read them. You know what you do and so do we. Don’t give them the time of day. Well done. ✌🏻🤍🤞

Great Video! Rivers should flow and that's what you are helping to do, get rid of the stagnant water which in turn will help the diversity of life in the river! very relaxing to watch!

[@amandaerickson8778]

It’s beautiful

[@johnlaforte700]

You are doing fine. There will always be perfectionists, that’s there deal. Nature finds a way to take care of itself, but man has put obstacles in its way which people like you address. Then scenery is beautiful. Thanks 👍👍😊

[@graemerose1616]

Looks like a nice area just to sit and watch the birds etc go about their business, and just relax.

[@UpNorthMowingDude]

It's nice relaxation for me.

[@88clemoine]

I would say that log is there so people could walk out there without “big high boots” (as post10 would say. lol) and unclog it. It’s a lot easier to unclog in the summer when all the leaves are still on the trees and not in the water. 🎉🎉✌️😎

[@UpNorthMowingDude]

That could be right. So many people ask why I don't take it out. Looks like it was put there.

[@JudyHart1]

I love it when he says big high boots.

[@88clemoine]

@@JudyHart1 Yeah it really sticks in your head. Lol

[@amym1133]

Thank you for highlighting the beauty of the flowing water!

[@America-1961]

Skuller, ignore the haters; they are everywhere! In our area, we received 1/2 inch of rain yesterday. It was the first in 31 days. As they say, it's feast or famine. Thanks for helping with the water flow.

[@UpNorthMowingDude]

@@America-1961 Oh wow, isn't it crazy how that happens?

[@jeannieelliott8519]

Ive never seen anything like this drain. Interesting. Your Oregon Viewer.

[@UpNorthMowingDude]

Hey there Jeannie, thanks!

[@jeriwollmann7366]

Great video man. Good you addressed all the issues. Except for mine. Asking the lady to cut out a piece of cage to throw through the small stuff. Ask the lady or the son to partner with you to clean and chainsaw the exit side. Have a BBQ and Bonfire time. Would a be pretty rad and awesome video by itself man. Cheers Brent.❤🪵🍃👊💪👍👊

[@UpNorthMowingDude]

@@jeriwollmann7366 I appreciate it. I really don't want to cut a hole in the other side. Juice wouldn't be worth the squeeze.

[@user-qx2xb9ed7i]

The big log maybe is there to hold the create open when the wind kicks up so it don’t take it down

[@lindsaygillon]

Great job!

[@elemar5]

Nicely done sir.

Fun is...playing in the water!😅

Absolutely!

[@rosemarybrewer-rhodes5300]

Exactly! So satisfying too!

[@MrL4t3]

Just had a thought that maybe the sheet of metal is there to prevent really long sticks and small logs to go through the grids holes so they don't form kind of blockage as a pile like a sticks in a bonfire and start collecting leaves to form even a bigger clog.

[@UpNorthMowingDude]

Yeah that very well could be. That's as good of an explanation as I've heard.

[@jackjaeger2189]

Pretty interesting

[@robertzapatka1082]

Thank you!

[@marybarbdavis5670]

Really enjoyed this one! I was worried about you, though.

[@UpNorthMowingDude]

Worried? Nothing to worry about with this location. Very peaceful.

[@minecachair]

I know it's pretty big but is there no way you could roll away the log beside the corrugated iron on the first side?It's been there since the first video and my OCD goes haywire!

[@UpNorthMowingDude]

@@minecachair It's there on purpose.

[@graemerose1616]

About the sticks etc, saw somebody else explain, it makes sense to "wash it through" letting nature do its job.

[@UpNorthMowingDude]

Yes - much better for them to be in moving water than a stagnant pond.

[@user-peach408]

That opening needs a removable cover. Dangerous if someone slipped and fell into the drain. Be careful

[@cindycapwell3379]

There’s too many Nellie-know-it-alls who can’t even unglue their backsides from their armchairs. Carry on doing things your way because you’re doing just fine.

[@unitedworld6618]

The Karen's that complain are the ones who never give back to the community. Be glad that they are not in your circle of family and friends.

[@UpNorthMowingDude]

@@unitedworld6618 I am very glad about that.

[@ViKee010]

I watch a lot of guys doing this work and never ever would I doubt or try to tell them how to do it, unless I’m willing to go do it myself. But please be careful. No sense putting yourself at risk with such oddballs taking their time to tell you what you’re doing wrong. You just don’t know in this world. But keep up the good work, if you’re enjoying it. Take care. ✌🏻🤍🤞d
