6 months later.. Did the pond spillway pipes and rip rap hold?

- Jan 14, 2022; A follow up to some great land management projects from earlier this year. Today, let's get some fresh air, and look back at these 2 land management projects from earlier this year and let's see if the new pond dam and overflow pipes held after months of heavy rains, or if I have to rebuild it all!
Here is the video description from the very first episode of this pond build:
DAY 1 of starting this new pond project with my new 36 inch mini excavator digging bucket, aka 'the Godzilla bucket,' and my bobcat e42 R series mini excavator. Join me in the cab and for some time lapse videos and my buddy Mark is going to be joining me today with his compact tractor to move some the the good dirt that I stockpiled for him from this pond project. This pond building project is part of a larger land management plan that Mark has been implementing on his rural Southern Illinois farm for the last several years now. This pond will accomplish several goals: A) divert a runoff ditch from a farm field into this pond, which will dry up a part of the farm field. B) catch water from another major ditch runoff and slow the water and erosion below the new pond. C) Create a new crossing with a culvert pipe around the pond. And D) Will create a new permanent watering source for wildlife diversity. I hope you enjoy this project and stay tuned for the next parts coming out very soon.

Doing these on our own, with a limited budget, it takes time to re-strengthen and re-adjust things to get it finally done and solid but it's extremely rewarding to do as a hobby. Others might hire it out with a full work crew, pre-drawn engineering plans, concrete pours and on and on and knock it out in a week. That takes all the fun out of it.
That's why I enjoy doing it! It is very challenging if you have a LOT of water but DIY saves thousands in cash for sure and the fun like you said! Thanks
That pond sure takes on a lot of water- looks good!
Yep another learning curve! I WAY under estimated the water volume! lol
Wow Mr kapper it looks great awesome video thanks for sharing it. Now your the king of making small ponds
LOL life is a continual growing process! Thanks and have a good one!
Kapper look great! Hope Sharon is home with you this weekend. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
That pond looks like a WIN to me Joe. Little more rip rap by the discharge pipes and I think it’s going to be golden bud. Hoping this is the weekend you hit the 100k 👍
Thanks man, I agree! Overall a big success!!
Looks good Joe,You did well.
Thanks man, I was not sure this one would hold with all that water! May have to repair it someday, but we'll see how long it holds!
Looks good Kapper!
It looks like it's holding up well! That thing catches a lot of water.
yes sir! It does catch WAY MORE water than anything I've worked with yet!!
Always room for improvement but not half bad. As close to perfect as Kapper gets.
lol for sure!
Looks like this might be the weekend for 100K, good luck!
Thank you! It was!! Hit is a few hours ago!! Cheers!!
Just a little fill in and bring rip rap up to top of dam around the pipe to stop erosion. Just my thoughts. Looks good.
Yeah I agree could use a little tweaking, but I think it will hold for awhile! Good thing we are pretty close, should he need an emergency repair! Thanks
Great follow up on the pond project!
Good video 👍 an the finished job looks like it's holding up well 👌
Thanks 👍
Double or triple the riprap and it should solve the erosion problem... nice pond...
Yep, he's got plenty left for it too. Thanks
100K. Congrats!!!
Thank you!! What a long road!
Nice Kapper 👍 Good venue for the 100k subscriber pool party🕺💃🍻🍻
Pond dive!!
Just subscribed. Seen where you had 100k thot I'd give ya one more just to put it over the edge. I do the same type of work in Texas. Fight the good fight my friend!
Thanks for joining us! Just one day at a time, and one mission at a time! Take care
Sleet and garbage? 🤔 are you downwind of a landfill site? 😆
Nope, no landfills nearby!
