gee glenn, ya think? :lol:

numb lips sounds like a lack of O2. I've had that happen while working at high altitudes, like 10K+. You guys are just a tad nuts, you do know that, right? :thinking:

one of my culverts did not seem to handle this recent rain. :thinking:

there was a bit of sediment built up around on the upstream side [of course] and some inside. I will have to clean it out.. and see what happens.

The others I used were 12"... that one was an 8".. I had on hand.

I don't know for sure it did not get partially filled with dirt when backfilling.. I will clean it out and give it another shot.. then if not.. I will change it.

I just don't want to spend the money if I don't have to.. :thinking:

that's what it was before I put the culvert in.. I did not have to dig to put them in..
The sides were steep enough.. you could not ride it.. The reason for culverts where I put them.. is so I can drive my equipment through.. otherwise I do bridges.

As it was it did not wash much away.. I did not even notice at first...and that was with the fill not packed that well. This brook really only runs seasonally..
