Chris of letsdig18 is a pro at replacing culverts….just saying…. 😁 Also, even though you said it was in the 70s, that water looked suspiciously like Canadian ice water…😅 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

    Great pictures of the water rush . I just wanted To to say, here in Australia we would be warned not to drive over that flooded causeway as the current could drag your car in. It happens alot here, fatalities are often the result. You girls didn't think twice about it. Maybe your vehicle is bigger than our 4x4. All that said I love your channel and enjoy the stuff you do. Keep going but stay safe.

    Lots of work! I don't understand why those low bridges are better than the conventional ones, but engineers must know. In any case, you make them less dangerous when water crosses the road. Is Dad Granny's substitute while she's in Minnesota, or has he been bitten by the unclogging bug and is now officially one of the team?

    That first one looks like they need to raise the road quite a bit and add another large culvert! The second one (4:07), needed some before and after pix. Third one (13:54) needed before and after in the OUT end, so we could see th difference in the rxpenditute. Fourth one (24:50) needed you to take out the rocks by hand.. AT 32:00 am not so sure those larger rocks should have been tossed INSIDE the culvert. If even ONE grts stuck in there, it will clog in the middle of the road, and you don't want THAT to happen! Have you two had any training in culvert clearing??? Are you OSHA Certified? Am worried you're going to do something dangerous!

  • @culvertsandmore

    Thanks for the advice. We are not osha certified. We have full time jobs and run our own businesses. We simply do this in what little spare time we have because we enjoy it and getting to help our community. We also do our best to be the safest we can possibly be and do the job right. We have been doing this for a number of years but we just started filming ourselves a few months ago. Sometimes filming the exit isn’t a possibility, it all depends on the culvert. Hope that answers some of your questions. Have a good day!
