Good Idea of the old posts. Have you thought about Gabbions? We have been using them here because they are so good especially here in Chile with Earth Quakes. Looks like that hip is still hurting you. Any time you have excess cement when your cement trucks wash out after pouring foundations, you have them dump on top of the rip rap. J & S are having a baby today! Love the videos Ima. Thanks from Chile Jim
Thank you! I would love to incorporate gabbions at some point down the line, mainly in a few retention wall applications near the home site. The hip is getting better by the day! manual labor and going to the gym is helping a lot. Super happy for them, and your whole family. Hope to see you guys soon.
You are correct in there being too little dirt on top, it has washed out a bit since we installed it in 2019. The tube is rated for 80,000lbs and it handles handle a lot so I have been too worried about the replacement of the top dirt yet but I will be fixing it soon! Thanks for checking out the video!
get on it, the difference between 2' of fill over a culvert with the arching action and less then 2' is astounding. also ditch that checkdam before the culvert ,all that will do is trap debris and make a headache for you further down the line . if you ever end up re exposing the pipe sidewalls wrap the backfill with geotextile like a giant burrito , that keeps them nice and in place. @@about12acres
@@tyler7433 thank you for the advice! I’m still learning a lot obviously and it helps me out tremendously. The check damn is temporary for exactly that purpose, I am currently working on the other side of the culvert and the natural check damns on the other side constantly fill up with debris so I’m prefiltering at an easier to access spot.
Can’t wait to see more about this project and its progress
Thank you very much!
Looks fantastic, Great job 👍
Thank you very much!

The most rewarding kind of job
