    This reminds me of a story. A HVAC contractor named Albert, who was a friend of my father, was called to service a man's furnace. He had a helper he called "Honey". When they got there and Honey was laying out all the tools, Albert was trying to look at the furnace and the whole time this guy was reaching over his shoulder, telling him what he thought the problem was, what they should check and what they needed to fix it. Albert, being short tempered, stepped back said "Hell Honey load the tools, he knows more about it than we do". They left.

    We had a township ( similar to your county) road supervisor that couldn’t understand that you need to pack the lifts beside the culverts …He would only pack one foot above the the culverts which would work fine for flat ditches but on the sloped ditches the material was not packed under the culverts. On the steep hillsides we would lose about 4-5 driveways every year because the water would wash the soil from”underneath” the culverts…he was retired for 20 years and his culverts were still being fixed..

    Good repair. The concrete anti leak collar is essential on any pond drain. Now they have steel anti leak collars with a rubber gasket for SDR pipe. I've never liked using a culvert pipe for a pond overflow until I'm at least 25 feet away from the edge of water. I haven't tried one of the new collars. Concrete has always worked for me. Nice job
