I have, but our ground is so wet right now, they would bury their
apparatus, the last thing I want to try and do is to pull out a
firetruck.<br>

department out and blast it with high pressure water?? Might
cost you a couple of cases of beer or a bbq lunch</div>

Thanks Warren, I appreciate the input. I may try to just
dig the whole SOB out of the ground and redress it with an
Oak Bridge in the Spring. I like Steve's idea of our local
FD, but they would get buried trying to get back there, and
lets just say, I have a history with the Fire Chief, as in
in starting a brush fire, when he had put a burn ban in
place; I honestly had no idea.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

<div dir="ltr">These are good suggestions. If you know
anyone on a State or County road crew you could ask for
suggestions (and even if you don't know anyone). They
have equipment to do the job so you could also ask for a
favor!

<div>We all cringe at paying anyone but a rooter company
could do this job as well.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But as a fellow DIYer I'd try myself first as well.
If you can straddle the ditch on either side of the
culvert with a tractor or skidsteer I'd try either
forcing a 4x4, sapling trunk of equivalent size or
pulling it through by feeding as far as it will go,
tying a rope or strap to butt end and pulling it from
the other side to drag the ram through. I'd round or
chamfer the leading edge so it didn't damage the
plastic culvert if it's corrugated. The big plastic
pipe we get around here is double walled though-
corrugated outside and smooth inside so maybe that's
what you have as well. These things would work way
better if you had water standing in the culvert to
lubricate and help the mess along.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Since it's a field chicken wire or hogwire might
seal the ends though your rebar idea is more
permanent.</div>

about 12" in diameter 12' in length, it's corrugated

cannot get far enough into it to clear it all out, got
some, but I can<br>

what used to seem like a minor job causes pain and
shortness of breath.<br>
I need to scrape that pipe clean and then block him
from getting into<br>
it, probably by pounding rebar into the ground about
2" apart. Any<br>
ideas would be appreciated.<br>
