TODAYS SEAT TIME

Sawyer Rob · May 16, 2020

I had a spot where a little water collected by my drive, that kept it wet in that spot, so I dug a trench with the loader and put a piece of pipe in, that I had lying around,

It was flowing nicely before I got it finished,

so that will be the end of that problem.

What about getting one or two old flatbed truck trailers? cut the wheels off and put them across your creek.

That would be perfect, wish there was some around, probably is somewhere so I will keep my ears open.

It would be easier/cheaper to put a culvert in.

20$/yard! What is it, gold placer? I usually pay $140 for a 10 yard load of bank run... delivered.

Edit... what do you need gravel for? Get that excavator back, dig down to hard pan and use that for material. Nobody gravels a woods road anymore, we just hire an excavator who finds material on site.

The excavator also dug me up 3 piles of dirt, one looks almost gavel-ish, that will give me plenty of road material and he's saying gravel is around$13.00-15.00/yard. The excavator guy did 9 hrs of work, at $75.00/hr adds up quick.

In spring time theres a lot of water going down stream, might take a really big cultivate and they can get plugged up.

I still haven't figured out how big the channel is, or what you are using the road for. For reference, an 18" culvert, 30 feet long is about $305.36. (including sales tax.)

This is going to the main woods road to get wood out. I might trust a 3'x12 culvert but that might require some more excavator work, at times in spring thaw a tremendous amount of water flows through there. The best picture I have right now is this one at low tide, I might be down there again tomorrow afternoon bringing more fill down so I'll get some pictures.

Measure the width and depth in 3 places and take the average of each, somewhere I have a chart which will give you the culvert size you need. I've had them put in with a bulldozer, so you could probably put one in with your tractor.

From that picture though, the stream looks bigger than I realized.
