How to repair a culvert super cheap! Part I

The fill around the culvert under our driveway crossing our creek is caving in and I need to repair it before the spring rains and snowmelt collapse the whole crossing! Utilizing materials on hand and some mortar I rebuild our crossing super cheap!

I can't believe you took out that piece of wood. That was the one that I used to get the car in-and-out on Balanced on 2 wheels

You should have put some washed stone in your concrete mix Scott. It would have stretched much further and saved on cement. If I were you I would put a few reinforcing rods into that base to tie into your wall.
Looking forward to the next part 👍

Looks good, no snow?

[@HiddenValleyHomestead]

I finished this right before the snow hit last Nov. But stay tuned... I got another problem now!!

2” slump on that mud? 😊

[@HiddenValleyHomestead]

Yeah baby!! Gotta get it in the cracks!! Haha... I was hoping a pro wouldn't see that.... Plus it was getting cold and I wanted it to kick a little faster and not freeze up! Thx for watching Scott.. Check out part 2 tomorrow! Came out pretty good. Gimme your thoughts on my backfill and anchoring into the roadbed!
