Range Upgrade 2025

[Mags]

Yeah, I left out the worst of the flooding. NO issues, that first flood? The woodshop... Thousands of dollars in exotic wood stacked in the second room of the woodshop, luckily on concrete blocks for airflow, but the sheets of plywood, two by fours, etc were not. The water was ankle deep and I was a little (LOT) upset. Big shopvac helped. Dozens of trips to dump the shopvac outside and sweeping the water out the door.

Yep no house or shop issues with that first flood here. The road to our place is a dead end. We had shallow standing water over it in 2 places. Elsewhere many public roads were closed due to deep water. Made it a challenge to find a route into town for supplies. Deepest water on the property was 12-15 feet in places. We've had some high water winters since then but nothing like that one.

Other than a lot of cleanup work for you, glad you didn't have it any deeper in your shop.

Hopefully that new large culvert will handle the flow for you BM ! That water seems to win the fight a lot of times. I had to replace the culvert under the driveway leading into my range property some years ago and it is working fine now.

Glad that you are able to get things worked out!

As all homeowners know... it's an ongoing thing. The culvert to our driveway is about 45 years old... it's rusting. That needs replaced. The culvert to the second farm gate on the main road, (the far one in the picture below) was crushed by the road department when THEY mowed the roadside grass, which Tina had mowed a couple days before. She keeps OUR property neatly mowed. BUT, they had the contract to mow, so they mowed. They crushed both ends of the culvert. She called, they said someone would come out. That was last summer.

Kudos to Tina for doing such a fine job mowing it looks wonderful. Also for not crushing the culvert.
