That cable saved ya’ll a whole lotta PITA work! Paid for itself on the 1st job. Thank goodness we don’t have Smell-O-Vision. Thanks for sharing DP!

😂😂😂 Aaron in the bucket was my favorite part! I thought for sure you were going to shake the bucket just a bit!😂 Thanks for starting my day with a giggle! Happy Sunday!!

HAHAHA .... "sounds like someone's having a bad day in the bathroom" omg that had me rolling!!

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.

That critter didn't think ahead about possumbly getting stuck... my goodness!

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.

Man Behind the Scenes seems to have done an awesome job letting the boss do all the dirty work.

Now I see why you keep MBTS around, he fits in the bucket perfect for those interesting situations. Another very versatile attachment

You had a mystery week. Cable fiber will pay for itself. Nice job 👍.

There’s nothing like having the right equipment for the job in hand. Well done !

Years ago in Iowa we had a tile blocked about 50 ft from the outlet several dead skunks that chose to spend the winter and died---was a mess to remove !!!

Good morning guys 💯🌞 coffee and dirt perfect on Sunday ☕

Good morning from a very Bonnie Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤜🏼⚡️🤛🏼

I have often wondered, with the tile ending in ditches and creeks, why you don't fit the outlet with a screen of some type. They must make them for the pipe sizes you use. Thanks for sharing.

“Bad day in the bathroom” 😂😂😂, way to nail an analogy of the situation Aaron. Nice job, making the best of a bad situation. Thanks for the video, enjoyed watching.

PVC outlets and animal guards- every time. Because if it can go wrong- it will go wrong! Nice fix

Mike and Aaron, one heck of a job finding and repairing the drain pipe problem. It's a good thing they haven't came out with smellavision. You have one of the most comical and entertaining video programs on KZfaq. God Bless and Good Health.

Blimey that Possum went on a serious journey all the way up that pipe from the outlet. Amazing how green them fields went in just two days as well.

I just started watching your channel. Most of my life, I was a dirt thrower. Around 40 years. My dad owned 500 head of cows and goats dairy farm. Bottled our own milk. Dad also owned a 50-up to the 70-man plumbing outfit. So i grew up throwing dirt and manure. My life up to 16 I lived on a dairy farm. The rest of my life, a dirt thrower. I dug with a 580c case. 3 stick. I prided myself in being the best in KC. Kicker of it all, I did it with one arm. All that being said, you are an excellent operator. I retired at 53, but if you're ever in Kansas City, ask the people building commercial sites if they remember the one arm backhoe operator. Ask the old guys. Love your channel.

This is a compliment. Your worker is probably the best yes man I have ever witnessed. Didn't have a clue what you were talking about with that first job, but after that qualifier he was backing up everything you said. All through the video, there was no pushback or disagreement but he added content for the purposes of the video. Perfect. I say give the man a raise.

Awwwe isn’t it just cute watching dwarfs doing grown up jobs!!??? Haha. Aaron laying down In the bucket reminds me of my kid when he was helping me when young. Good job guys.

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. 😊

That locator is one of those pricey tools that you rarely need, but which pays for itself in a single use.

Opossum patrol, that’s crazy how it crawled that far in the tile! Good job guys, thanks for sharing Mike and Aaron! Yall take care! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙋🏼✌🏻

Wow can’t believe that was in there . Great job DP and Aaron

Hey Mike, we always put stainless steel animal guards on all of our outlets. We have tried plated steel, but they rust off in about 5 years. Before using them I have found groundhogs and muskrats in our tile. Nothing since.

Unbelievable a possum in the pipe craziness great video thanks Mike and Aron

Now I’m gonna have terrible dreams of walking down a 300+’ hallway looking for tacos and getting trapped at the end but can’t back up/can’t turn around 😱

Who stayed until the end without fast forwarding?! The anticipation was killing me. Haha. Nice work building that suspense and oddly entertaining to watch. 🤔

That’s got to be the craziest thing I’ve ever seen Mike and Arron

Man that must have honked ! Great job fixing it all guys. Best wishes from Moonzie Fife Scotland 👌

Morning gentleman that was awesome is it the first you had stinky with smellvison. Lol hard to think the possum crawled that far well done the new locator told the story grate tool to have 👍👋🇨🇦

That tool is powered. Powered by Aaron lol. This was one of the funniest video's. Great stuff guys.

"Bathroom Blues" - new single by MBTS and you went all the way with the turtle and had me believing it was a snapper. 😛👍👌

I couldn't fathom the opossum traveling that far. Oh My! Well, at least it was a law-abiding, Tequilla drinking armadillo from Texas that came up there just for some pond water to drink. You guys did good. Great video.

You just never know what you will find. Great video. Stay safe

Brought back memories of me snaking my septic lines out of my house a couple months ago. Not good memories. LOL

Another job well done for the Dirt Perfect team I just love how you two work together

Nice succes 😅😅again thumbs up from Sweden 😅😅

hello Mike & Aaron & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks Mike & Aason & Friends Randy

Put a one-way flapper on the end of the out flow pipe

Nice job, really like the probe snake, best of a stinky situation.😅

I loved the delayed look you gave when he asked if you still have those rubber boots.

That is one sharp knife MBTS! Good job guys.

Not expecting that at all! Wow!

Reminds me of the video of Upstate brush control cleaning out that cistern with several dead possums floating in it. I could almost smell it thru the internet. You guys got strong gag reflex.

It amazes me, the finesse that a good operator can perform with dirt moving tools!!!

Good morning, Sunday, April 21st rainy Day🌨NC

That was crazy. Ive never seen that before.

I enjoyed watching your search for a blockage.

Reminds me of a song we used to sing around the Camp Fire! "Dead Possum in the middle of the road!" Now revised to: "Dead Possum in the middle of the pipe!" I was betting; turtle, too! Great video! Thanks Mike and Aaron! Lee

That's some nasty stuff. Great work guys. You stuck with it.

Job well done guys.👍👍👍👍

Thank you for sharing, another great job with the dream team , thank a lot 👍👍👍👍

Real top-notch boss creds today, Mike ! I can't think of any other boss that would have done that !

Thank you for another great video. Cheers

Thanks for the video Mike Like it and yes it was Block.

30:23 can't believe Aaron didn't yell and scare Mike 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Job well done guys👍👍✌️

Have a great rest of your weekend too. Digging in the dirt is fun lol enjoy😃😃😃

At first, I envisioned that sensor cable showing up in someone's bathroom flopping all over the place and someone yelling, STOP STOP, PULL IT OUT!!! PULL IT OUT!!!

Good Morning from New Brunswick,Canada

DP and man behind the scenes I’m glad this ain’t got smell of vision. I bet that was a rotten Smell your locator done a good job. Think that was a good investment.👍🤦‍♂️

Great video,I can Imagine what that must have smelled like.great fix,great job.on to the next,hopefully not a plugged pipe.😎😎😎👍👍👍

A camera on that fibreglass rod would be great

Just here reading the comments after watching, not disappointed 🤣

That was a really fun video. 💯 pure entertainment 😊 You guys are a GREAT team. 👍🏻 Thanks for that

It may not be your favourite machine DP, but it sure beats working a shovel by hand. 😂

MBTS playing "possum." 🤣

Loved the snarky jabs at each other,only friends can do that. Guess possums don't back up well. That new locater works great 🎉🎉😂

Another great video to start the morning out right, good morning from Eastern Kentucky, Lee county Mr DP. Have a great day today Sir.

Great new tool‼️🙋‍♀️💖🇨🇱

Not a dull moment..

Always wondered about a guard on the outlets.

You guys are an awesome team. Love watching your adventures.

Good morning from Siesta Key Florida

We used to move irrigation pipe by hand and critters were always getting in there. The other issue was that if the guy on the end touched the electric fence everyone down the line got shocked.

Good morning sunshine! MBTS saying "we ain't playin them games right now" made me laugh sooo hard! Lol! How the world did a possum get in there? Lol! Just y'all's luck! Great video! Much love from Henderson Ga USA

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Certainly glad this video didn’t come with smellavision. The fiberglass rod certainly saved a bunch of potential digging. Looking forward to seeing what you have coming up next. Wishing you, Arron and your families the best.

Good morning

256 👍's up DP thank you for sharing 🤗

Wow. I was wondering if you had anything to protect the pipe end and was going to ask that when you mentioned the rodent guard. That makes sense since chunks aren't supposed to come out with the water. What a muddy job, made my hands ache watching you. Love the fiberglass pole, that looks really efficient. Thanks for sharing, Mike.

Good morning guys. I'll drink a cup of coffee for ya this chilly morning here in Michigan.

this is why we cap our drains with grids, to STOP wildlife getting in and getting stuck and dying in there.

Years ago, we were installing a 6” gas main, someone for got to put a temporary end cap on. Next day we had problems with air test. Lo and behold, there was a possum in the pipe. Pesky little creatures. Great job guys!

It's amazing what can be done with a good locator. I used one for 30 years at work and love them. JBR FROM CLEAR LAKE SD

Good Sunday morning to you all

Y'all laid a possum trap by not putting a grate on the end of the tile!!! Possum killers!!! LOL RIP little critter!!!

You and MBTS heavy coats farmer no coat

Good morning. Love your video. I know the locator would have save me a lot of work. I definitely would have started at the wrong end. I now have a new answer for when someone asks where my knife is

Great mystery video! A bucket full of MBTS, the best!! I am sure it took a lot of control not to jiggle him!👍🏻🍀🍀

13:27 “I don’t wanna hear it Nancy!” lol

You should get another person, that way you could say that you are the three stooges

Good morning from Alabama Roll Tide 🌊 great video on Sunday

What !! No two inch pump. We are not playing those games now. Love it ! ! Thanks. DP almost DP

Mike when I tiled with my father in-law We had to put these grates at the ditch to keep muskrats and turtles out of the tile.

Good thing you had the long reach 304 in the neighborhood!

Most all the tile outlets around my area have a flap gate on the outlet.

Another good video. The old 304 doesn't get much use since the Capt. Has the Ford backhoe

Great job guys enjoyed every minute of this outstanding work 👏

Good job enjoyed it as always
