You have all those rocks by the house. After they are all fixed, I would recommend using more of those stones to re-enforce the head stones and widen that area to keep from washing back out.

Need to pin the cauliflower leaves. Growing non blanching ones next year. This is my first year growing tomatillos. Really shocked at how hardy they are.

Hi Damogran Heart! It must be hot in the Twin Cities today! I'm hanging out in the casino air conditioning. I can use their wi-fi here. The library put something on their wi-fi connection that won't let my computer connect to it. I can only use their computers and they time me out. It's some type of pop-up window that says their rules for internet use that my machine can't navigate. I'm borrowing a Linux machine from my brother-in-law and I've tried to make changes to make it connect but I'm not successful yet and it's hard for him to find the problem over the phone! He's still got to take my computer to work and try to repair it there. He found the chip that burnt out when my sister's flower vase fell over and dumped water on it on Mother's Day! He says it's a 50/50 chance he can solder the new chip in and get it working again. I trust him to repair it better than anyone else so 50/50 is fine with me. I'm just hoping I get the successful 50%! Have a great day!

@@StoneKathryn Kathryn count yourself as very lucky if you have people you can count on.. The older I get the Fewer I have and honestly its concerning. Not to mention the world we live in is often unfair and unjust... BUT the bright side is as bad as life might be we only have to endure it for about 100 years at most... and Eternity will wipe all of this away like a flicker of light.. our souls will be calm and we will live in peace with God. But God says even in this life we should not worry.. for me that is difficult i worry so much and so often about so many things. God is not a Mystery to me like he is to many.. I have zero doubt he exists.. I know no person is without sin and we are all equal in God's Eyes and as Jesus Taught in Mathew 6 what God requires of us is only that we Believe in him and that we Forgive Others so we shall be forgiven. When we pray we do it in private with our own words contritely like we are speaking to our best friend... because thats who God is.. he is the best friend to all of us. God is simple to understand.. If someone tells you they have the Secret they are lying.. no one can forgive your sins or cast you down for your sins.. because we are all equal. We're scumbags every last one of us. The pope, ministers, imams, rabbis.. all of us are equally condemned to hell ... And all God asks is that you believe in him.. and forgive everyone you possibly can for everything.. because there are debts we all have to pay. And that debt is repaid by forgiving others. That way one day you stand before God and say .. yeah i am a sinner.. I'm a scumbag.. I made bad choices.. and some of them maybe even on purpose. But I tried my best to forgive.. Because my soul is not worth giving up to hold on to that hate... And the ones I can't forgive because I forgive and they cause me harm again over and over.. you ask God to help with that and he will. Theres no secret.. no sacrificing goats.. no spinning around 5 times and praying to mecca ... no confessing your sins to someone as sinful as you are.. no repetitious prayers or secret handshakes... no tipping the door man at heaven's gate that will get you in... Just Belief.. Forgiving.. and Prayer. Thats not everything life is.. but you get that right and you'll be ok. Remember God is our friend.. he knows your thoughts.. and he created us and loves us. He is my best friend. that is for sure.

Good morning viewers. Thanks Rich for helping Al get the new culvert! Wow, so foggy in the morning! The blade of the excavator behind you as you scoop the dirt. I like that. It looks stable! Looking good there at the first wash-out. That's great that the one dump truck full took care of that. Did you get the headstones back up? The culvert looks clear! Thanks for showing us that. Wow, you got that done before the morning chores. So you got 3 loads of gravel for that next culvert? That must be some wash-out! Thanks for the drone shot of you cleaning up the sides of the road above the first wash-out. I like the music! Good idea to be careful of not puncturing your tires on the small tree cut stems. It was funny when the drone crashed. I hope it's okay. Good, it still works! Wow, missing 7 knives! No wonder it's vibrating too much! That is a weird place to have a giant rock. Maybe they couldn't move it before? That is a big wash-out! I'm glad you can get a big excavator to help fix that wash-out. Wow, 8 to 10 dump truck loads full of fill! Thanks for this video Lumnah family! I'll guess 11 dump trucks full of fill.I'll be happy for you if I'm wrong!

Setting in the new culvert, you should use very coarse gravel, then concrete onto the gravel, to make the culvert a MASSIVE piece, and get the plastic culvert to become a liner for a poured concrete culvert. You'll want to use the largest stones you can, then add gravel and sand, using the plate compactor to get the smaller pieces of rock to settle firmly into place before putting in dry concrete to help stabilize the road bed before you put the top layer of gravel on and hit it with the plate compactor. Stabilizing the ends of the culverts with the largest rocks you can position reliably will help prevent further washouts. Fine sand and dirt around that first, metal culvert would be a mistake, since the metal bottom of the old culvert is wearing through. every time water's flowing through the metal culvert, water is washing out existing soil and gravel, meaning that in a few years, that culvert will be subject to washing out and sink-holing. I'd consider pouring concrete or cement into the existing voids beneath the metal culvert to drastically reduce flowage beneath the culvert pipe. Otherwise, perhaps you should consider building concrete box culverts, with concrete structures poured to the banks to drastically reduce water wearing at the ends of the culverts. It would be serious amounts of work, but should then be reliable for decades.

Just a thought! How about if you do a two tier culvert. Line each side of the bank with your large rocks to start. Put one culvert in down low. Fill in with another level of rocks, to include what you say head stones. Then add another culvert on top. Or add two culverts next to each other on second tier. That way the lower level of culvert will always flow the water and the two or one upper culvert will address higher water levels. Just a thought!

Hi Al. Hope you are thinking of at least TWO of those large culvert tubes for the next one. Just saying... And yes, the embankments on both washouts (both sides) need serious re-enforcement with rocks and gravel/clay to ensure longevity.

Good evening, Lumnah Acres, I'm late today, but I'm better late than never😂😂😂. That sure is some hole that's been washed out to lay as silt further down the gullies as I reckon it's washed out in the region of 28 -30 yards³ in that one gully please remember to add soil in with the rock your going to fill it in with as the soil will help bind the rock together and if you have any clay you could put that at each end about a foot thick from bottom to the top and that will help stop the water from bypassing the pipe allowing the water to wash the gully out again then when you place your head stones around the pipe the gully should last well past our day. Keep smiling. 😊😊😊😊

No' a bigger Culvert handles more by dimensions, it's mathematical, So Al just went one size bigger, 2" bigger, problem was the Culvert was rotted-out rusted-bottom, gone, and the storm water caused it to lose what covered till it washed 20' downstream !

all those missing hammers, I hope you do not hit them the next time you mow. Perhaps a very strong magnet bar you can tow or drag can help pick them up. Lots of work, you are making great progress sir.

That is heart breaking to see such a deep hole washed out in your road. It is hear to imagine it takes so much fill to replace it. Good luck. Y'all have a Blessed day.

probably could use a second pipe in that area to take excess flow. Yeah, another $700, but cheap compared to doing the repair again.

The very best Lumnah Acres video is when Al gets out the excavator. I'll tell ya. What a treat seeing the "Acres" out and about. And also ~~~ Al, ~~~ My vote would be for two culverts. Yr probably already done with this but with the "big excavation" already there I'd build back extra heavy duty. Just saying. 😉. Thank you so much for sharing all that you do. 💥‼👍

Al, Ive noticed in your videos that only after a few hours of mowing with your Flail mower that you lose a lot of the knives due to losing the mounting bolts that they swing on. Do you think that installing them with locking nut would help reduce the amount of knives that you have to replace each time that you mow with it? Just an observation from a man with over forty years of experience with heavy equipment. Hope this helps by saving you a few bucks.

Sorry the roads took such a hit! Hope with your observing how the flooding ran that you can devise a clever diversion canal plan to save the road, moving forward.

Good morning Lumnah Family and Friends! Hope all is well with you all and you're having a great week! 🖖 - If you have an hour meter on the excavator, you can use that to keep track of your fuel in case your fuel gauge is broken... Looks like the bigger culvert will need 2500 cu ft of fill, or around ~93 yards.
