There was much drama from the start of the culvert construction until the end.
We contacted Henry in March. Between permitting and ordering materials and Henry accepting a bigger job than he could handle…construction started in July–4 months later. We could FINALLY drive onto our land mid-September.
The county would not allow us to build a bridge. It had to be a “box” culvert. Henry built a base, then forms for the concrete sides and eventually the top. We cannot complain at all about the actual construction project. He did a great job on the concrete box. Here it is in pictures.
The re-bar used is pretty impressive. It is 1.5″ in diameter. There is 15″ of concrete on the top of the culvert. Hopefully it won’t go anywhere!!!
More rain…And this is why it is so important to have good drainage in our ditch.
FINALLY
