Hello everyone, from David in Omaha. We had a massive storm last Wednesday with over 100 MPH winds that knocked out almost all of the Omaha area electricity. I didn't have electricity for 4 days. I thought I was in a Florida hurricane! 🤣 We're getting back to normal now, but never want to go through that again! With the power on I can now watch my favorite channel, Al & Gina's Lumnah Acres! Sweet! Hope everyone is doing well! Cheers!
@@LumnahAcres Omaha Power had over 1,000 workers trying to get the electric back on. I thing they did a pretty good job getting power back on to 158,000 family homes plus all the businesses, hospitals, and such. Biggest outage in Omaha, ever. Loads of tree damage and wind damage.
I think that is the first time in all the years I've been watching I heard Al say a single curse word. He's just like the rest of us, and I just thought it was funny to see he gets frustrated like we all do sometimes and it can sneak out! Don't worry Al, you are still my homesteader hero....
I know you’re relieved to finish that project. I’m tired of all that wet stuff coming down from the sky! I got 10 inches of rain within 28 hours from Tropical Storm Debby that turned into hurricane. Luckily no flooding or power outages for me in Tampa. Others didn’t do as well. 😢
Hello friends, it’s a shame the weather is not being have. Al good thing you have an abundance of rock to help with your project, also it’s good you can get the trucks in without making a huge mess. I wish you well …
It's nice to see scenes of the property and the progress made without people in the picture. It seems fewer videos are just property and work done. Al and Gina have truely made progress and made a homestead out of raw land since I watched last. GREAT JOB.
Al saying he's "too lazy" to do something is like most of us saying we're "too lazy" to walk to the kitchen for a drink of water. Al, you're the LEAST lazy person I've ever known!
Where appropriate you might want to consider a low water crossing. Just slope each side allowing the water to pass without a culvert. You can put that rock in the bottom to hold that elevation but it lets the water to pass without a culvert washing out and allows you to travel to and fro.
Good morning from Springhill Florida 😊 Tropical Storm Debby dumped 8-10 inches of rain here yesterday. Lots of wind also. Glad to see you didn't have much damage. I really enjoy your channel.
Good morning Al and Gina! I know it feels good to get these two culverts done! We will look forward to the upcoming projects. Sorry to say but as we are buckling down for the rain that hurricane Debby (now a storm), will bring us I see that the rain is going to reach up toward your area of the U.S. also. Ya'll are really having a wet summer! Prayers for a great week, and see you on Thursday. Hugs from N.C..❤
Looking good on top, my husband, who watched his dad build these for years I Missouri said you need a boulder down beside the culvert to keep the gravel beside the culvert from washing out. If you have another big rain, it's rare but with crazy weather like we've had, without a big rock holding it firm, it could wash the culvert right out again. Big round rocks the size of an engine block on either side of the culvert on each side of the road. Or at least covering the edge of the culvert and side with gravel on the side it comes from. Making a baracade.
Great job Al! You really saved yourself on fill gravel which would more than likely wash away over time! I pray you never see enough rain to move those big flat rocks! I can’t wait to see how things are above, I guess I am a worse case scenario kind of person! Peace and blessings, to you and your community, praying Debby does not drop as much rain on you as Beryl! 🙏♥️🤗
You’re doing what I thought would be the best thing to do is all those rocks you say from the work earlier grabbing your most useful flat stones to make it better to pave out the culvert good idea Al and if those stones are on the top of the culvert, it’ll make it easier to drive a😊😊😊
Morning friends! Fantastic road work! Really interesting. My grandpa, a farmer, was also a road foreman for years. He helped build the PA turnpike and I 80. He also taught school. He was a crusty old man. My grandparents had 12 kids, family reunions are huge!!
Headstone = rock at the head end of a grave. Rocks at the ends of a culvert pipe = head wall. It's a retaining wall to keep things from washing out when the water is higher.
Al, YOU. ARE. A. BEAST!!! with both the tractor and the mini-excavator. What an incredible purchase you made with the mini-excavator. Both of them have become like extensions of your own hands. I am so impressed with not only what you can do, but what you are learning. Gina's expression at 00:13:48 was my own!
Good Tuesday mornin Moose🐓Crossing .... the culvert "bridges" are looking good .... will you be topping them with some larger stone, like you did wit the rest of the road? Cookie🐮and Azalia🐄 don't even flinch when you get close to them with the tractor🚜 I really hope that the road up above faired a little better🤞🏻🤞🏻Have a very nice day AL, Gina & Olivia✌🏻🌞
Good morning Lumnah Acres. Congratulations Al the road looks great. I thought you would have some trouble with that last culvert. Keep up the great work ❤❤❤❤❤😃💯
Good morning, Skull - looks like a fix that will last a while. If it floods like it did before, it may get washed out again, but hopefully that won't happen for a long time..
Gina wanted to build some rock walls, but I don't think this is what she had in mind!LOL!😅 The Lord put you on this rocky property for a reason! You could probably build a rock house if you had to! Glad you did not have to bring all those rocks in! God Bless!😊❤
How fortunate you've been to be able to turn your rock piles into something beyond yard art. Even that intermittent rain has probably helped settle the dirt and set your materials. And yes, it always seems like you've got more rocks than you can pile and stack until you find a purposeful use for them. While a radically different situation, we decided to turn a friend's rock piles of smaller and also slightly bigger rocks into a rock river in one spot and a rock edged ordamemtal border in another spot. Both became works in progress when the gathered rocks ran out.
Good afternoon Lumnah family from a much nicer feel in Minnesota. The front came through and cooled everything down and took the humidity away! I lost power for a while at my new apartment just as I was making dinner! Good morning viewers. Setting the culvert! I'm glad you could move that boulder on the side of the road for the culvert. So how many loads did it take Al? It's cute seeing Azalea and Cookie watching you wrangle the rocks with the TYM! Those are some nice big flat rocks you got. That looks like stinging nettle you picked up with the last rock. I really like how you placed that second rock above the culvert. I like how you got out and planned how you would use that last rock Al. Thanks for talking us through the plan of using the rocks. Filling in the road between the rocks is a great method to raise the road for the next deluge in the future. I like how you moved that rock that was too high over the road surface to make it more even with the road. I thought it was going to take a lot more fill too! Nice crown on the road and tapered sides from the ditch to the culvert. Great job crowning over the other washout. It does look really nice at that new culvert part of the road. So you have to finish the pig shelter for Yukon and change the pasture for the cows and get ready for more livestock! Busy, busy! Thanks for this video Lumnah family!
large excavators are expensive to move buy one used at auction and use it for years then sell it for what you have in it!!!!looks real good, nice work!!
Gina loved the shot of you worrying. The whole time Al was moving those rocks I was wondering how is Gina coping with this, cause it looked nervewracking. But it always make me feel better when the camera is moving around because I know you are there "supervising". Al is and absolute wonder when it comes to building and knows far more about this stuff than I ever will, but sometimes I worry he pushes things a bit. That said, amazing job with that second culvert Al, looks amazing!!
Morning everyone! Just got through the worst heat of the summer - Over 90 deg and very humid. I was stuck inside for a week solid and mad as hell! No projects done so now I can finish. How did you guys do for weather? What a crazy summer!!!Best wishes from Perth Ontario! Oh Yes - We had a Tornado in our area - barns and lots of trees down and no power for a few days. WHEW!!!
Al, the new covert build looks professionally done. You did a great job. I hope you don't have anymore washouts. I'm so thankful you, Gina, Olivia and the animals are all safe. Also that there was no damage to your home or other structures. Love & God bless you all.❤☺️
I was in the Florida hurricane. It went over my house at 4:45 am. Really nothing like you went through. Just wind and rain no loss of power or down trees in my neighborhood.
Hi.... AL thanks you for showing your video homestead beautiful great good job BYE 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋👍👍👍
Put a T-post with reflectors on each side to guide vehicles across the middle - so on black winter nights you don't drive off the side when your plowing snow ❄️🥶☃️❄️
That's a good idea!
a friend told me "just because I make things look easy, it doesn't mean they are" Al you make things look easy. I am always impressed with your work!
but then you see Gina's worried face
Looking good! 😊

@@Heisstrong glad you got your power back. How did the area handle the storm

The weather has gone crazy, we haven't had a very good summer again this year, but thankfully no storms like you all have over there

Wonderful work
It looks great. You are good at that.
Good evening Al, Gina, Olivia and all the Lumnah friends and extended family. we are getting heavy rains here in north N.J. now.
Great job!
Hey Al, you’re getting mighty handy with that excavator! Your develping that soft touch that comes with/ experience! 👍
Good morning Al, Gina and Miss Olivia. Al great job on culvert and road❤😊
Hey Al you did a great job with that culvert. It looks real good. 👍❤️

Wow, great job on the culverts and road repairs.

Well, at least you were quite entertaining with the tractor and rock ballet. The cows thoroughly enjoyed the show. Bravo.
Great job Al fixing the road ,it helps to have equipment ....
Another very interesting video! You and Gina are the best! I watch for each new video and it’s like visiting with old friends. Bless you all.
Good Morning! The road is looking good! We have Debby coming our way. Stay dry!!!!
You did a great job on the road
Is there any job you can't do? I am impressed with how thorough you are and how everything comes out so perfect.😊❤❤
Gina you crack me up, the look on your face when Al was lifting those rocks, Al I could watch you all day keep up the great work, bd safe.
Al saying he's "too lazy" to do something is like most of us saying we're "too lazy" to walk to the kitchen for a drink of water. Al, you're the LEAST lazy person I've ever known!
Gina that look! LOL. Al + Lazy = What? Love it! You’re both The Best! Thank you for sharing.
I love ALL Lumnah Acres videos!
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing

Very nice job !!!!!!
😊🙏👍❤️
I'd throw in a 🖖which is "Live long and prosper."😅
Nice to see the repairs to the road are basically done. May the next rain storm come softly. Nice job Al.
Hope no rain falls right now.💙❤🎉🦋☺👏👍
Good morning from Springhill Florida 😊
Tropical Storm Debby dumped 8-10 inches of rain here yesterday.
Lots of wind also. Glad to see you didn't have much damage.
I really enjoy your channel.
That's a whole lotta rain in a short time. Uff tah!
That's one way to pull weeds! Nice work setting those huge rocks.

Here in Florida we had 14 inches of rain, our ponds are full. Have a good day.
Want to pick out your project rocks easier ? Don't put them all in one pile. Grade them into seperate piles for different projects that might come up.
That's a rock solid idea! 😊
That makes sense to me!
@@samvalentine3206 Always with the puns Sam! Love it! Have a great week!
When you were getting the rocks, it sounded like you were a kid playing with the claw machine. 😆 🤣 😂
Nice job on the culvert repairs Al!
You have become quite the artiste with the machines. Nicely done.
It's taking getting used to. The change in your lives. I have always loved watching you . Great job. Keep bringing them..
It is a farm and the weather is always in control
You certainly have that right! I was raised in a farming community. Centerville and Hugo in Minnesota.
Good morning Lumnah Acres and viewers. Man those are some nice rocks. You should haul those to my area. Landscapers would pay you big bucks for them.
Morning friends! Fantastic road work! Really interesting. My grandpa, a farmer, was also a road foreman for years. He helped build the PA turnpike and I 80. He also taught school. He was a crusty old man. My grandparents had 12 kids, family reunions are huge!!

Footstone = at yer feet end of your grave 👍
@@johndeere1951a true, but Al was using the term while collecting rocks for his culverts. (mostly in the last video)

The road Work looks great!!
Practical lateral thinking in language we can understand. Good Job Al. Thanks for vid. Later
Good morning Everyone, I sure do hope everything you fixed survived the rain yesterday.
Looks good.
Nice job guys !! Looks like more heavy weather coming hope you get spared!! Stay blesse all!!

Nice job with the pallet forks getting those big flat stones. Are there a little crazy way of doing it but it works.😂😂❤❤❤❤
Awesome job on getting the rocks put around the convert area. Keep up the great work.
May the lord bless and protect you and your family
