| | | Thanks! I honestly don't understand the whole 'wading through other people's shit' thing, re: draining. Uplands people are generally wealthy, so maybe their shit isn't as rank as the shit in say Rock Bay. But who knows? It's all shit. | I'm sure it smells like privilege and oppression. It would be cool to get in at the water and follow the east coast bypass if possible. And yes, i have heard from sewer workers that there are passable unsanitary sewers in Oak Bay. Still looking into that one, so can't say for sure yet. | I can't imagine that it's high on anyone's priority list.

| | | Thanks! I'll be check out that area tomorrow... And that Raleigh just needs a gallon of WD 40 and a new seat, and maybe tyres... | A new chain too... I was thinking about making it the official Drain Bike. You wouldn't need brakes since if you went too fast you'd fall anyways. In any case its on the river bank if someone wants to fix it up. Im hearing rumor that a tunnel is under the old chapel at the RJH hospital | My mother's worked there for 30 years. I'm gonna see what she has to say...

| | | Posted by NinjaKlutz And just one thing: be careful when opening sanitary sewer manhole covers. There are many stories of sewer workers who don't follow proper protocols, open the manholes, then built up H2S gas comes pouring out, and they faint. If the gas dissipates before it kills them, then they often fall and clobber their heads, and often falling head-first down the manhole shaft and dying instantly. Honestly, if you don't know how to test air properly, then it's probably a good idea to leave these particular manholes alone.
| That's an excellent suggestion, and I urge you to take it very seriously. Go back to page whatever, where Peterman and crew discuss the massive tunnel we found...page 80 something, I think. Part of the planning that went into that gig included a gas meter, which without such a device, none of us would have gone forward.

PM A.Lien for details.

Aye Aye! Reasonably safe, generally, however...if this thing has been inactive blah blah blah, what are the chances that it's received regular maintenance? A better question might be 'when was the last time a person went down to inspect it'?
|
The hole was free of cobwebs... Whatever. Don't go alone. Get a meter. Let me know how it works out.
| Now I'm reluctant to go without someone more experienced than my fiends who have joined me so far.I think I may leave that one alone for the time being while I get to the other drains I haven't visited yet. No sense in getting in over my head; I am still a rookie.

| | | Hey Gang! Been awhile... Just had my first child...a son. Apparently, it takes a lot of your time. What's on the go? Things seem pretty quiet around here... Is NO Print really back?! Keeps us entertained I guess...
