Unclogging the grate on the repaired culvert and restoring a once flooded stream.

Hello ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching!
Today I returned to the culvert from the last video and unclogged the grate as well as fixed up the inlet a bit. We also cleaned up the stream to restore it after it being flooded for a long time. I hope you enjoy the video.
Please consider subscribing to my channel if you haven't already. It would mean a lot to me.

    you and your brother are doing a heroic job keeping that stream flowing. 👏👏👏👏 but i believe you would need an excavator to thoroughly fix It. on the bright side, at there are no beavers to block the culvert. 😃

    Great work! Love the idea of backfilling the grate plunge pool with stones. That will be a great filter point for the stream. You really took a janky repair and made it look great again. That upper culvert had a ton of crayfish too. Nice healthy water, just needed a path to flow. Hope you and your family have a great 4th 🎉

    Wow, I'm impressed by your dedication to this. Looks like the city just put the drain cover in without actually making sure it would be effective. But as I was watching I thought, why not fill that hole with the rocks they filled on top. And sure enough, you had the same idea. Again, that's for the dedication. Your brother has earned himself a beer or two. Stay safe and enjoy the rest over the 4th.

    By doing what you two are doing you can gradually widen the creek bed and it will deepen as it erodes the mud away. I hope you don't have any heavy storms in the next few weeks so the culvert rack can adjust to having the rocks there as it fills with the right kind of dirt. It would be nice if someone would come and sprinkle wild flower seed along the banks while it is still summer. It would help stabilize the edges a lot and would be pretty. Good Job. 100% better.
