  • High runoff water this year washed out the access road for our neighbors property. He could't get into his place so he asked me to fix it for him so it wouldn't happen again.

    Nice to see a like minded thinker. It’s like an old mentor told me a long time ago, he basically said: “it takes more than just being an equipment operator, cause anybody can learn the controls and operate the machine… it takes skill, experience and intuition to know what to do with the dirt once you scoop it up…”

I believe he has about the same pipe as Busted Wagon but different driveway. Busted Wagon folks are doing great and all is well with them, just not doing UA-cam anymore. :)

    All that plant matter you mixed into what you think is a bank will rot in the next year or two and all of what you fixed will become lose and sink. If you want to make a road/dam that will last it has to be water proof "Clay" or made of rock. That originally washed out so bad because it had a lot of sand in it.

      He hired me for this job and I gave him a substantial discount from my normal rates since it's literally across the road from me. If it were a quick help with something then its usually a matter of "help me, I'll help you" and if it is something like the main road that we all need to have operational, then we all just pitch in whatever our skills or availability allows. Its all case by case.
