    Now you've got a new reference point for directions. " Go on up this road until you pass opossum pipe, then it'll be another 1/4 mile or so 'till you make a left at Broken plow trail and that'll take you right to oil pan rock, stop there, get out and walk another 100 yards over the hill and you'll see Aaron stuck in Bubba Dump, right where I told him to go". That's how I learned to give directions, spending my summers "loaned out" to relatives in a little town just west of Nashville Tennessee.

    Mike on our field tiles on the outlets we always put 2 big galvanized gutter spikes through the pipe to keep the critters out .
    Leaving and open 6' or 8" tile only invites Opossums to crawl up in to the pipe looking for a meal, and they can't turn around and die in the pipe even young Racoons will crawl up in to the pipes.
    The Gutter spikes are cheaper than a road guard and work just as well.

  • @An_Ordinary_Joe
    @An_Ordinary_Joe Місяць тому +6

    So once again this brings back memories 50+ years ago for me. In my tiling days I ran into this situation. My first guess was a muskrat. That was what it was I my experience. My second guess would have been a large barn rat. Either could be large enough to block the pipe. Even if they weren't quite big enough to completely block the pipe while alive, they will bloat and seal the pipe as they enlarge. Above ground either of these animals would decay quickly from maggots but in an isolated place like that, decay would occur much slower. It is similar to how much slower wood rots in water verses exposure to an environment which is much more oxygen-rich.
    Just so you can feel bad about this event … if the situation had developed differently, with the possum getting a chance to decompose (before the water backup interfered with the rate of decomposion) it may have never been a problem at all. Once the flesh and fur fell off, the path would be only slightly blocked. 😊

    DP mentioned that if they didnt use the cable you'd have to dig up the tile every 15 ft . That's the hard way to find the problem. First dig it up at the midpoint and see which side has the clog then dig up again halfway further toward the clog, repeat until its located. This minimizes the number of holes required.
    Here is another thought on a different level, maybe Aaron just needed to use a toilet plunger 😁

    Best video I've seen for a while. And, I'd put a screen on the exit end of those pipes.

    Guess the possum crawled in and couldn't turn around so went as far as it could. Truly hit the dead end. Great video. Shows not all dirt work is fun.
