Dennis, that will teach me to trust Delkus. He said 1"-3", and we got 1-3 tenths.

Good news. The road damage does not look near as bad in the daytime dry as it did in the dark with running water and heavy rain. I had made the road wide enough so I can still drive the Prius down on the unwashed side. The rest of the road held up good, I'm not such a bad road builder after all.....

Before and after a quick 4.5" rain - same angle, 2 days apart.
A few passes with the blade and it will be ready for the next storm.
A lot of this water will be diverted before the next rain. A berm that channeled water into a pond went across the road (and down the road) above the wash out. That pond is no longer there (a sand pit now) and the berm will be taken down.

Subarus are good cars, but look how much you can save over the price of a new Subaru if you buy this.

You better hurry though, the bid ends in 4 hours. Plenty of left over money to buy fuel.

Jim,
I walked around the dam today and picked up bottles and paper/foam plates.
But I can not get to the bottles floating around the island. I do need a jon boat for island mx.:thumbsup: After my first pond was built, my son gave me a remote controlled PT boat to play with in the pond.
It lasted two years before water got in the enclosed engine pod:confused3: and corroded it out. I can't find parts for this foreign boat either.:mur: So it was scrapped.:thumbdown:So I need a new boat, but not another PT boat.:talktothehand: I need a work:shipcaptain: boat with a salvage crane or loader grapple:cloud9: on a boat to go retrieve the bottles still floating around the island.
That would be a skill I could put on a resume.................can retrieve floating water bottles remotely.hugs, Brandi

Wow, TXdon, you were able to get out there and work the road even with how we it was? Looks good! :thumbsup:

Don,
That is good news. It's amazing how a little heavy rain can take out a driveway or road. But, like you said, a few passes with the blade and all is good.
hugs, Brandi
