Al, ex engineer here, my advice would be to double up on the washed out culverts, and also build proper wing walls for them . Wing walls stop the current scouring out round the pipes and eroding the soil around them. Second one put in 2 three foot diameter tubes with the wing walls for certain. The sink holes are probably caused by whirlpools from trying to turn running water 90 degrees. Hire a larger excavator to clean the ditches every few years as they get clogged with silt, every time water slows it drops the sediment clogging pipes etc.
Get yourself one of those concrete mixers that have the ingredients in hoppers and mixes as you need. Then drive along, place big rocks on each end and pour in concrete as needed.
Al, I'd also look into getting a dump trailer for the homestead. You move alot of material around your property and I think a 14 foot dump trailer would pay big dividends for ya'll.
Seeing all that water damage just makes me think how out of all that huge piece of property you & Gina sure picked the best place to build your house, workshop and barn! Hope that rain from Beryl was a one-off.
Al, & Gina, Those once in 30 year floods can really make a mess, and destroy roadways, culverts, and even dams. It's good to see your driveway to your house is okay. Last year we had major flooding as well. Repairs were made to roads, and our driveway. The run off ditch on the back side of our dam collapsed. Luckily, the problem, and any water run off only affects us. We haven't fixed this problem yet, were dealing with clearing old trees, and under brush to come in through the back of our property in order to fix our dam run off. It will take time because it's just 2 off us working it. Great news your garden wasn't affected to bad from the storm Gina.
Thanks for sharing the damage with us on RUclips. It is amazing what water can do. We look forward to seeing you repair what took place because we know that you do things properly. The plastic culvert looks like the way to go.
Actually Plastic floats easier and doesn't actually last longer, cause manufacturers life expectancy is false, But Metal Culverts are heavy for the handling equipment that Al has, I'd recommend Metal but use the plastic like Al is going to use !
their is a reason rain gauges are made like they are,so I would use the gauge measurements to be the proper amount ,all other ways are just stacking the amount .So you could collect the water of a 20 x 40 foot roof and say we had 4 feet of water .
Looks like a good spot for some of those large boulders both sides of the new culverts to help from washing under and lifting culverts out. I understand that’s a lot of repairs, but you can probably eliminate future washouts because this amount of rain won’t happen about once every fifty or so years. Good luck, others are worse off than you. 🙏👍👍
Oh my!! I’m so sorry about your water damage. I remember the days when we had that damage but never had a culvert wash out. Just hope all the damage is minor. Have a wonderful wonderful day and God bless.
The first washed out culvert that is still in place, the bottom most likely is rusted out and also needs to be replaced. The galvanized metal culverts are only good for about 10 to 15 years and needs to be replaced, especially if they have running water through them.
Good Morning Lumnah's! As bad as it is, you are so lucky to not have damage to the house, barn, animals, etc. Culverts and ditches can be fixed, you all are safe which matters the most. Prayers being sent to those who have lost loved ones and homes.
It is just mind blowing to see what damage the rain did. Glad that it was not more washed out than it was. I am so happy all your animals did fine. Thanks for sharing. Have a Blessed day.
I'm not sure about a bridge because of the logging company equipment? Other than that, it sounds like a great idea .... just thinking out loud. Take care Ron👍🏻✌🏻
Whoever installed your infrastructure did well. The Blue Earth River by passed the Rapidan Dam, taking a house, a store and a park with it near Mankato MN. Water is crazy powerful.
Good morning Al and Gina. We’re glad you guys survived all that rain. Glad your lake was still there. You’ve got a beautiful place. How many acres do you guys own?👍❤️
MY FAVORITE NH OFF GRID RUclips FAMILY!! Good morning Lumnahs AL, GINA, OLIVIA & Subscriber friends and family! I pray 🙏🏼 everyone has a blessed Tuesday and week ahead! God Bless! 😁👍🏼
My fingers AND toes are crossed for you guys and all others affected by that storm that damage was a minimum. We can always rebuild just about anything except 😵! You’ll get to all that work, just take your time and be safe. When it rains it really does pour but “how do you eat an elephant?” comes to mind… One bite at a time of course so go sit, relax and have a nice cup of sunrise with your pad and pencil and plan it all out. That coffee works for me I swear, I’m doing an addition to my raised bed garden relocating and building a new privacy fence myself due to how much 6x8 cedar panels have shot up in price! A little quiet and a good cup works wonders on this old guys thought process. 😉✌🏼
Al, you should've bought "at least" two of those culverts to replace just the rotted one you've found so far. Going double-barrelled with slightly up-sized diameter pipe would give you reasonable assurance that you're building back better to survive a similar event. Right now you're barely replacing a pipe that wasn't enough capacity with a slightly bigger one that likely would also struggle. The excavation is already there for two (nearly three) so spend the double cost before you bury another future failure with purchased fill and road bed material. All your culverts seem to need proper stone gating on both the upstream and downstream ends to slow erosion.
Good morning Al Lumnah and family. Water has so much force. Goes were it wants, and if anything is in its way it's gone. Well that makes another project for Al to do. Good thing Gina's garden is on high ground. Be safe guys, thank you for sharing.
Al, Just a video tip….when you swing the camera back and forth to show the viewer different grasses or land, it makes the viewer dizzy. It might be better to set the camera on a tripod and just point in front of the camera. That being said, I really enjoy your raw land adventures.
So sorry for the damage but Mother Nature can be so powerful. Glad you had minimal damage considering all the property it could have been worse. That one culvert you walked through was almost at your shoulder height or more. Mercy...... Thankful that it was not on your private road you use to get to town. Looks like the county will have a long time of repairing. Thank goodness it's still enough time for late summer and fall to repair things. WOW WOW so glad GIna's garden looks good as well as the pond! Blessing
Still in the family, Clarence, or is this in the past? We lived on a river in Connecticut and it was amazing when it got high... the volume of water was something!
@@LumnahAcres - Howdy there, Al - hopefully you've made headway at least the first culvert by now on your property - I agree with others... the power of water is amazing. My family used to live on a river in Connecticut, the Silvermine River - and in the late winter, early spring we'd get a lot of rain and it would flood - the upper level of soil with the grass would sometimes get rolled back from all the water heading downriver... gave me respect at an early age! Wish I was there to help you all!
Facing the challenge of discovering that your road is missing is a daunting situation that truly tests your resilience and problem-solving skills. Your ability to confront and address such a significant obstacle with determination and a positive attitude speaks volumes about your character and adaptability. The way you tackle this unexpected difficulty reflects your strength and commitment to overcoming challenges, turning adversity into an opportunity for growth. And I am Floating Village Life.
The culverts that were washed out, need to be replaced with larger culverts. That will handle that volume of water. The grass is good, but tall grass will resist the flow in the ditch. Causing it to overflow. Sometimes the use of double culverts to get the size you need without getting your road too high.
I vote with the last guy, Sam - wing-walls mortared in which direct flow towards double metal culverts! Works for me.!! Wow, the garden looks almost perfect. Good reason for raised. beds. More power!!
You need to creat your own fill pit. With all your land you should be able to get fill off your land. Maybe buy a Dump truck an auction? Then you could use it to move fill and rock around for improvement.
That hurricane Beryl was a doozy! I am in Guatemala and we had heavy rains from it starting around 7/3 and it just quit this past weekend. A lot of washed out roads here.
Good morning Lumnah family. Can you use some of your many big rocks to secure the new culver so it won't wash away?? I'm glad you are all okay and safe. ❣️❣️
Great to see you guys again sorry for all your flooding problems I didn't understand why I ain't getting many videos from you guys first time in awhile. ❤
I hope everything goes smoothly and is going great with the new covert that you are going to be putting in soon. The filling in part too. There will be a lot of mineral to be putting in too. Keep up the great work. Prayers going out to you and everybody too.
Yup! Like a few others suggested. Put 2 culvert pipes, add those big rocks you dug up, LOL on each side of the culvert pipes & top. Guess those rocks are coming in handy. Best to you folks.
Good morning, AL AND GINA AND LADY O Water can have too much strength. Or gentle waves on the shoreline. Thank GOD you are BLESSED. SE MICHIGAN 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
you might consider putting in a bridge across the humungous washout and extend it about four feet on both sides for next time. glad you are all safe and didn't lose any livestock. stay safe and keep your powder dry. Richard in NW ok
Al and Gina may things go well on repairing the culvert and fixing the other one glad that the pond was alright 👍 hopefully the fish will still be there 😮😊❤
We had a rain storm come thru in June and in a 3 hour span it dropped 17 inches of rain there. Of course that was north of us and it all came down stream. A river I have in my town that has never flooded in the 70 years I've been alive went out of its banks. Several small towns around us got flooded real bad and then tornadoes. Now 90 plus heat and mosquitos
I don’t know if this is a comfort, but there isn’t a drainage system in existence that can handle that much rain in such a short period of time. The hurricane really cut a swath on its way through!
Our property in Kentucky we had this problem several times. I would up putting two culverts next to each other to double the capacity but not make it too high. Good luck. Doesn't seem like you will have this problem but eveyt 10 or 20 years but we wound up pouring concrete at the ends.
Good morning Lumnah's. Sorry you've had the damage to the back road. As some others have mentioned I'd seriously think of doubling up the culverts, especially as the trenches are mostly there. Appreciate its an extra cost but it security for the future. Would also suggest cutting back the ditches of undergrowth so you can better see the state of them.
Sorry for your troubles. Most culverts rust on the bottom. This is probably your 100 yr flood. It might be that you need to put in the next size bigger culvert.
Al, ex engineer here, my advice would be to double up on the washed out culverts, and also build proper wing walls for them .

Gooooooood Morning Sam. Thanks.
You have a lot of big rocks to fill in around new bigger culvert.
You might suggest to Al how he can apply for grants, companies, etc. on how to get projects done
Get yourself one of those concrete mixers that have the ingredients in hoppers and mixes as you need. Then drive along, place big rocks on each end and pour in concrete as needed.
I agree. I’m A survivor sanctuary just went through all of this thanks to the same hurricane in Texas with their large pond!
Hi.... AL and GINA THANKS YOU FOR SHOWING YOUR VIDEO HOMESTEAD beautiful great good job BYE 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋👍👍👍
Map the flood out on your property with your drone while the grass is still down. Make sure you have thing in place where you need them.
Great idea!
Al, I'd also look into getting a dump trailer for the homestead. You move alot of material around your property and I think a 14 foot dump trailer would pay big dividends for ya'll.

Never heard the word 'culvert' so many times in my life! Lol!
Glad all you had were those three (?) washouts. You folks were lucky.
their is a reason rain gauges are made like they are,so I would use the gauge measurements to be the proper amount ,all other ways are just stacking the amount .So you could collect the water of a 20 x 40 foot roof and say we had 4 feet of water .

WOW!! It's crazy. I'm so happy the garden was ok!
Where the culverts has washed, double them up and clear out the streams along the verges of silt etc so they flow better.
Two are better than one.
Wow! The road washouts said it all! Glad you guys and your animals made it through okay. Mother Nature has awesome power.
It’s a good thing you have a large pile of boulders for the new culvert. ❤❤❤
sorry about the damage but so happy for you that the pond and garden are ok.
You were so blessed to have very little damage. 8.5 inches ow rain in. 8 hrs can cause massive damage. Praying for your town.
Dealing with the aftermath of a hurricane is no joke!

Precast box culverts from Dirgo Bridge Comp in Maine seems like a permanent solution. Great time to use the drone.
Don't replace the 2nd culvert , Leave the Stream open, build a timber frame bridge :)
Good morning Lumnah Acres and viewers. Have a great and productive day!!! Al, the washed out culvert would be a great place for a bridge.
I'm not sure about a bridge because of the logging company equipment? Other than that, it sounds like a great idea .... just thinking out loud. Take care Ron👍🏻✌🏻
i would put in a second colvert an use some of thous rocks you dug up for your water line and put them in and around the colverts

Upping the 24" culvert to 30" would handle 57% more water, but hurricane storms are not too common in New England.
I live on the seacoast of New Hampshire and the rain went just north west of us. We could use some rain.
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing
Al,it looks like after you fix the washouts,you might have to deepen the side culverts on the road !
I hope everything goes smoothly and is going great with the new covert that you are going to be putting in soon. The filling in part too. There will be a lot of mineral to be putting in too. Keep up the great work. Prayers going out to you and everybody too.

@ 22:50 if a 24 inch culvert blew out and it looks like it's wide enough might want to go back with two 24's side by side

Put a concrete culvert a square one that is wider than the creek, and I'll work wonders it will help big time
Love it so much keep it up as always 💘
Sorry for your troubles. Most culverts rust on the bottom. This is probably your 100 yr flood. It might be that you need to put in the next size bigger culvert.
I love ALL Lumnah Acres videos!
