Been there, same situation. Is this a once in a 100-500 year, lifetime event?

If not, you may need to rethink ways to your homestead.

Look like they will have to dump another load concrete over the culvert again.

Yup.
Cook made it home the back way.

Ron the land behind me is for sale - the back area connected where we were clearing the fence line. It's open coastal hills 94 acres for $400K all minerals included (you just don't see that any more) but, a contract is already on it when I called. Should have gone the back way a little sooner. It would have made a good winter destination.

And hey! Chicken snakes bite!

Don, I have to admit that I have never heard of a "Chicken Snake". Had to google it. The reason for low carb and no grains whole or otherwise is diabetic reasons, losing weight is just a great benefit. We are trying to head it off at the pass with diet before drugs are needed.

I have the roofing for the run-in cut and ready to go up, cured all the air leaks on my new compressor, and cut 3 large oak logs that have seasoned for a year into turning blanks. Ended up with 17 ea 8x8x8 blocks and 22 ea 8x8x5 blocks. And yes, when you guys talk of making firewood it makes my eyes tear up.

You guys in Texas get a lot of extremes - heat, flood, drought, the only thing we have you beat on is cold. But I'd trade a bit of heat, drought or flood for -15F any day!
