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.
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 ❄️🥶☃️❄️
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....
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.
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 …
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.❤☺️
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 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.
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.
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..❤
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.
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!!
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😊😊😊
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.
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!😊❤
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! 🙏♥️🤗
Good morning! Just like a surgeon Al. I see a lot more rain on the way to the north east. Praying for you and everyone along the east coast! I'm in dry Missouri now but came from hurricane alley, Houston TX. Harvey was the weirdest, and worse storm I ever saw, and I am praying nobody gets that much rain ever again. Texas Deb ❤
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!
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!!
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..
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!!!
Excellent job repairing the culvert. Having the excavator has been a blessing. When you bought it did you ever imagine one day you would be using it to rebuild heavy duty culverts??
@samvalentine3206 hello my overseas friend hope all is well with you and your keeping busy as normal. Keep smiling and the world will smile with you.😊😊😊😊
You did a great job fixing the culverts. Getting storms like the one that washed them out don’t come along very often. I believe they will hold up to almost any storm you get in the future. I hope you don’t find anymore blowouts up above.
Get ready for Debbie, Al. She dumped over 12" of rain in 24 hours in Tampa, FL and may be headed up your way. Tampa is used to heavy rains, but this much has caused some issues.
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.
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

Good morning Al, Gina and Miss Olivia. Al great job on culvert and road❤😊
Nice to see the repairs to the road are basically done. May the next rain storm come softly. Nice job Al.
Good Morning! The road is looking good! We have Debby coming our way. Stay dry!!!!
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.
Great job as always camera-person Gina. You help tell a very clear story....
When you were getting the rocks, it sounded like you were a kid playing with the claw machine. 😆 🤣 😂
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.
Wow, great job on the culverts and road repairs.
I love ALL Lumnah Acres videos!
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.
It's taking getting used to. The change in your lives. I have always loved watching you . Great job. Keep bringing them..
Good morning Everyone, I sure do hope everything you fixed survived the rain yesterday.
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing
trees with the severe winds! Glad it is over with!!
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 …
I’m hoping that there are No More Problems up the Road.
Glad to See the Road is back Open..😎👍
Here in Florida we had 14 inches of rain, our ponds are full. Have a good day.
Good evening Al, Gina, Olivia and all the Lumnah friends and extended family. we are getting heavy rains here in north N.J. now.
Good job, Al. I am always amazed at your resourcefulness and at your ability to get things done. See you on the podcast.
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.❤☺️

Is there any job you can't do? I am impressed with how thorough you are and how everything comes out so perfect.😊❤❤
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!
Good morning, everyone!!
Good morning, Chris!
Good 🌄 morning!
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.
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)

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!

@@johndeere1951aNorthern Minnesota is like that!
My grandmother was always building rock borders to her gardens like that! The gardens grew bigger whenever she found more rocks.
Gina that look! LOL. Al + Lazy = What? Love it! You’re both The Best! Thank you for sharing.
I've got rock envy! You’ve got some real beauties. Oh, if only I could put some of those in my landscape.
Good morning folks !

Great Day in the Morning 🌄 !!! Did Gina Secret Garden wash away ??? 😊😊😊 Stay Stong !!!
For some reason I did not get a notification of this video and this is the first time it has happened.
Al are you doing more winter logging this year. That will put your new road patches to the test. Can't wait to see the rest of the property.
Don't expect logging this year, plenty of cleared land by loggers that has not yet been cleared of stumps and rocks to create pasture !
GREAT video,loved it 🙏❤😇👍
