Lester, my husband was a mason for a living. He suggests you get LARGE boulders (not river rock) and pile them approximately 5 deep, on top of each other to the top of the spillway. As you place each layer, pour dry cement over them. Once you have it all piled up, begin to pour water over the high calcified cement, let it set, and it should hold. If you want to cover it with dirt afterwards, you can. Hope this helps you!❤

Lester, I’m sure you’ve already thought about this, but just in case….. If the spillway gives away, remember that you have Littles in that pasture where the creek is. So much water rushing through the bridge would be worse than a flash flood for the short legged ones. Please keep that in mind as you get these few next days of rain. And consider talking with Uncle Dan again for the “permanent” solution. Isn’t this what he does for a living? Just thinking out loud. I know this spillway has been a headache since day one. Wish it was as good as your bridge.

My heart just breaks to see the effort you have put in to saving the spillway, such a necessary and important structure to the pond and driveway. I always admire your strength and resilience Lester, but I worry about the weight you are carrying on your shoulders right now. I am sure you’ll be fine (and more than likely are)and I know you don’t need my words, thoughts or definitely my advice, but because we all know my fondness of lengthy comments, like duh, you already know I have no control or ability to stop myself, so...🤪 It’s never weak to turn to your partner when in need - in fact, doing so, builds trust from showing a vulnerability, strengthens bonds from admitting a need, and closeness from the gift of receiving or giving to a partner, one’s eternal and unconditional love....Now back to something more Longhorn Lesterish - Your tractor skills are so impressive Lester - you never fail but to astonished me with the ease that you always accomplish your intended goals!
