Thanks for watching everyone! I appreciate the continued support and love reading all of your comments!! Talk about needing a good bloody scrub after this job!
Bruce!! This was awesome, love this new "first perspective" thing you're trying. Really awesome view point for us i think, a really cool up close on this stuff, and honestly i like that its safer for you. And, now you can use both hands and that will make things easier. The narrative is always welcome to me Bruce such a can do spirit and always so positive, keep it up you bloody ripper legend
Love it! The go-pro is definitely easier for you and helps us see way more! Never stop the commentary, if people don't like it they can mute it hahaha! Great job, but make the pain lines match up please! Sending ya many more thumbs up from California, USA!
Ok i admit im slightly addicted to your vids, so much so went to McDa today with my 10 year old and as we walled out i walled past a tripple drain cover and said to her "oh look its a greese trap" she then looked at me as if i had 3 heads and said "ok thats nice" i didnt take into account she had no idea what i was talking about 🤣🤣🤣 (cant even get her to watch a vid as she claims im sick for watching them, she dont like the pimple popping vids i like either 🤣)
Only thing I was worried about was you were climbing into a confined space, normally we need a toxic gas detection buzzer/kit on us and a spotter over in burgerland for that. Otherwise job well done! I've found that baraklean will take that gunk right out if you can get ahold of a jug so long as you throw the coveralls/clothes in a greaser washer. Next best thing is adding some simple green to the wash as a "detergent" or soaking them in simple green-water for about a day before sending through the wash like normal.
I did notice that. Strange that other countries are supposed to be more safety-minded than us and yet being allowed to go into a confined space alone is pretty crazy to me. I think he doesn’t necessarily need to worry about gas because maybe it’s not a sewer and just a grease trap?
With all respect to Ollie (he's nuts, gotta love Ollie) and the other drain guys, Bruce you're the best . I don't even drink and I want to grab a frothy with Bruce in beautiful Perth! Just to hang out. Keep at it Bruce, we appreciate you!
Brilliant as ever, Bruce, thank you. Only one problem, my OCD screaming at you to put the grid lids back in the right way, in the black and white lines!
2:43 - Sounds like a really good meow meow... The bit right after this I can hear now that you are narrating this video after the fact. Do you do ones using a bluetooth lapel mic on the job and not narrate afterwards? This one was difficult OFC! I am sure most of your recent vidz were live at the time audio, but if not - then hats off to you my man!
We loved the video and the running commentary. The longer video like this is really neat, and going above and beyond is a great way to work. About 25 years ago I could have crawled in there but not now. Also for your clothes, a good soak in degreaser and hot water really helps to get the grease out. Of course so does making your clothes water/stain proof help with the laundry.
Oh so you are going to jet the lines after changing clothes? Are you sure you didn't get into those frothies that were too cold while listening to music that was too loud with a view that was too good? Lol. Well done Bruce! Another great intro and the surprise outro was priceless. How you doing Spence?...3.32K and climbing..:)
I got to experience the joy of working on a home while the septic tank was being drained back when I worked HVAC. That's an aroma you can never forget.
@@ElChris816it's salty right. Worst was in the area where they comb out the solids, toilet paper, the wipes people should not flush etc. you plug your nose but you know that you gonna inhale that crap lol. I don't think it made me gag but..i think rancid fat or rotten meat might make me gag, but excrements haven't managed it ... yet.
Bruce ya coulda done a bit more on the cruise. Clean ya gear in a bucket and petrol, if the cloths dont clean up they are ready to start the bbq. I have no idea how/why but I've watch most?, of the posts whilst having a bit of a depression ptsd episode. Your attitude to all things is uplifting. Thanks.
I’m hanging out with Bob your Mother’s brother. We are drinking a few brewski’s watching you go to town on that filter like a champ. Rule #1 never change your clothes until the jobs done.
hey mate, i am in mid north coast NSW, if that lid ended up here, i would have posted the bloody thing back to ya. i always wanted to see inside one of those things, glad it was unedited and i got a good look around. ledgend! now where did i put that beer. cheers.
Nice work! And where I would rather be? :) One question: isn't there a whole protocol for working in confined spaces like that, with paperwork and CO2 monitors and emergency extraction rigging (& not working alone)? Here in the US, anyway, putting a live human worker in a space like that requires a whole 3-ring circus.
Now I’m thinking about it I’m sure that the U.K. has something similar about a two person crew, and safe set up Etc. I wonder if those laws are state and not federal in Australia, and Western Australia just doesn’t have them on the books, instead expecting people to use their heads and not take unnecessary risks?
Do you check for methane or other gas levels before entering a confined space? We in the electrical industry have to check that prior to entering and have a rescue person(s) on site too if it turns to custard.
Well most of what you do is great. The go-pro straight video is works, but at the same time, but if you are spending 20 minutes pulling stuff out to set up, maybe cut out 13 minutes of it, let us get the jist of what you are doing. I guess a shapely female assistant in a 2 piece would be too much to ask for 🤣🤣. I would get a smaller type ladder for those manholes. Have you thought about spending some money on tyvek coveralls for this type of job? they are between $7- $15 each also disposable botties 50 pair for $12? The suit and boots might cut down on the grease smell at end of the day too.
We'll definitely have me an extra pair of clothes no doubt about it .and I don't know if I wouldn't invest in some nut drivers instead of screwdrivers that way you can stay on ahead of the nuts easier slipping and sliding in that grease 🍻 but nice job well done you deserve a tall one after that
Bruce buddy why didn't you pressure wash your clothes so you could wash them at home you've got the equipment man,think don't waste you have a pressure washer and some degreaser blast the brand name off your clothes 😉 😅😂
Holly Moley Mate. I’d be a bit worried about lack of oxygen down there. I could say FMD but it’s a family channel and that. Bruce, Bruce you changed your clothes too early. (You did have holes in your pants where your knees go)
Absolutely love your videos. I love edited or unedited cos they're all brilliant. I like the camera on your head because its like we are seeing through your eyes on what's happening. Keep up the excellent work and brilliant videos. Throw a shrimp on the barbie for me 😁😁😁
Sorry, also: For Repeat business? No, For educating Every Child! If we all subscribed to teaching your philosophy we would be a better SPECIES! "Leave it cleaner than you found it." Everyone, please, listen to the words of Bruce Bruce! He is correct. And if you try it you'll find it's really not that difficult. Just do a little wipe up. Make sure the basin clears and give it a rinse. Make sure anything that comes off or out of you goes all into the right place. And remember, most toilets have 2 settings: Stun and Kill. Use appropriately when needed, don't be afraid to use twice. Three times, you might need "Tha' Plungeah!". (DCA action track should be playing now). (And Bruce, don't worry about excessive narration. You're behind the camera.. We're on the other side of utuub. You're actually working (& quite skilled I would add). We have a fast forward button. I think we're all cool with the relationship. Thank you and cheers Bruce!
Is that the Rambo Western Express Plumbing Service. Hello Bruce old mate,. Seasons greetings. Don't worry about getting killed because I've got you well insured.
I've had to enter a few crawlspaces over my career. But absolutely, yeah naw yeah, I'm gonna stick to theaters and electricity. You've got bigger kiwis than me Bruce! I couldn't fix half the failure modes you do! I'll stay with learnin' from you and just keep usin' me handy-crank drain snake for now. Though OMG I want a jetter. One hose to rule them ALL! Cheers! 94608
Bruce Bruce, you really shouldn't be doing that sort of job on your own. You should have called one of your workers in, just in case anything goes wrong and to give you a hand. Also you should use the pressure washer to clean your clothes. I have a pressure washing myself and you'd be surprised what it'll clean.
How often do you have to do that with those traps? I guess it shows which restaurant you want to go to, the one that takes care of their leavings regularly! I guess it is why they cost as much as they do, this HAS TO BE EXPENSIVE!
Bruce... ever heard of plastic overalls? ... 😂😂 that might save your clothes 😉😉 I love your videos and tell people to watch you cause I think your hilarious!!
Enjoyed the video. GoPro is the way to go but the perspective of "dangling us by our feet" was cool. As a retired safety guy, are grease traps considered "confined spaces" in Australia? Is air quality testing required?
I would not want to fall into a hole that small either. I would not get stuck but I would probably have a few injuries and maybe some bruising on my head. I can just imagine how horrible it is! I could imagine a fat guy getting stuck there and it being difficult to get him out since it is not a large hole.
“I can’t wait to get out of here” You joker you. I know you’re livin the dream mate. I know there’s no where you’d rather be right now than down there. Even 2 years later 😂
If you don't want to lose your work clobber next time, get Napisan for coloured material, add to a nappy bucket (or Bunnings bucket with a lid), soak it for a day out of reach of kids, empty and rinse, then put through the hot cycle of your washing machine.
Hi. Bruce. Just watched you go down into a grease trap mate. I've worked in subways during my time and it's so easy to get caught out, I sure you already know but thought I mention it. Gasses and there a loads of them especially in sewers can build up removing Oxygen . You will pass out and be dead before anyone realises. Get yourself an Oxygen monitor and put in in the hole before you go in, it's only got to save your life once. Have a good day
Need to wear those hazmat type suits..may save you from trashing your clothes. Something with elastic on the wrists, waist and ankles. They are disposable. I can’t remember the name of the suits though..just a thought 😊
That sounds like a great idea. I would love to go on the boat with you and have some drinks and play some cards and watch the sunset and relax and have a couple of drinks.
Bruce is knee deep in Grease! I think it could be interesting to see an unedited, beginning to end Video. :D And never ever shut up lol, that energy you have is amazing :D Leaving a place clean is a must, used to work on Constructions Sites, and even there we did clean up our stuff.
This looks very familiar - those four grease traps, you cleaned them out in an earlier video, right? And in that one you mentioned a broken filter (which was clearly visible floating about in there). I was well happy with that, because you lined up the paint on the covers. But then you left them all over the shop in this one. What the bloody hell, mate?
Bud, you sound a little less enthusiastic compared to normal.. Hope all's going well up top. You've given us all a prop-up from time to time so hope we can do the same for you.
You should invest in some disposable overalls for when you’re asked to do another one. I think that they are usually in the decorating isle. Might save you a pair of jeans and a cotton jacket.
I didn't realize that Austalia uses the same police sirens as the US. I thought it might be one of those odd idiosyncrasies like the yellow school bus.
The company that pumped out that trap needs a good lesson on how to clean a GT, if I left a trap like that with the company I work for, I'd get my ass kicked
Do you ever that feel if you didn’t have bad luck you wouldn’t have no luck at all I just help fix a toilet drain at work my bass was going to call the plumber my Trick that I knew how to fix save the day he didn’t have to call a plumber and it was gonna be on a Friday
