Plant a few feet away along side the trench, trees and shrubs will drink up the water so youll have dry land.

Great job. It must take a fair amount of maintenance too, regularly clearing debris and sediment

In my country you can't drain your water directly into your neighbor's land. That's not a way to treat a neighbor. I dug a trench to lay pipe and installed a pump to get water to the street.

It is illegal to drain one property into anothers.

Nice color too. Really good looking car.

If it was me, I’d widen it and turn it into a creek… with a few watering holes but not too big or deep to keep the water moving… I love creeks. I gre up on a creek in California… and then moved to az near oak creek (Sedona) and I’m a creek girl. As some river rocks and make it a feature. I beg you. I’m drooling.

a little wider and I'd find a board and have a little fun lol

idk why but watching water flow like that is oddly satisfying

You’re a better man than me. I would’ve built a damn and diverted everything back to him. After that, get and injunction with C&D.

We’ve been facing a similar situation for 4-5 years, with 3 different homeowners during that period, who have made the runoff problem worse with each purchaser. You’re a better person than we are. I resent the continual work & $ we have to expend each year. Good for you!😊

"Saying uh and um can make one seem hesitant, insecure or lacking confidence." Try counting how times you said them.

Did the pond owner ask permission to allow overflow drainage onto your property?

Wow, awesome!!! Interesting that it flows without the use of rocks. It must have been upsetting before you trenched to be inundated with water from the pond!

I'm in east TN also. I have a similar situation. A little different. My neighbors property across the street all drains to a low point which goes under the road and then drains and fans out into my field. I have a pond on my property and the water does eventually drain into the pond but not before saturating the heck out of my field. I need to make a trench from where his drain tile comes out straight to the pond. It's roughly 125 feet. I have a backhoe so it shouldn't be too hard to do. But then I also need to manage the other side of the pond so that it goes straight to the creek on the edge of my property which is also about 100 feet. This has been chewing on my mind for the 8 yrs I've been here, your video is giving me the motivation to get it done

Nice job. Wondering how it looks 5 years later. (I have a similar challenge ahead.)

Get an excavator and redig the trench on the neighbors property, maybe right beside his driveway....

Bro dug an whole ass creek!

I would love to have a water wheel powering a generator

Gotta stop using "ahh" as a pause in your speech, not trying to be ugly but something for you to work on. Someone years ago busted my chops for this habit too.

In NY, there were houses on a hillside. a house diverted water from their basement, and the neighbors house's basement flooded. So, they diverted the water. And the next house had a basement flood. Then the next house , the lady was at a nursing home, when they opened the door, found there was 5' of water in her basement. They put the house up for sale in a fire-sale situation, and the buyer, had a backhoe, and diverted the water down the hill to the road. At that point it was near a stream flowing across the road, the town had to fix it. When it comes to water, everyone diverted, and it became their neighbors problem. Jokes on the creditors, the buyer was her grandson, whom knew why the water was in the basement. And with a backhoe, easily made 80,000 by removing the water situation.

Very very impressive

Should have built a dam.

This is exactly what I needed ty

Nice work!

As long as the freeboard and emergency overflow level for the pond meet requirements, then additional overflows are an act of God. People don't have to build above standard.

I've often had to dig trenches in my yard to control water run off but it's nothing compared to what you did. You good! I also know what you mean when you say you had to do it before you got too old. I do a little bit and then take two days to recover!

Not a burnout, thats a power brake, even a 6 cylinder will do that

next epsiode , i wish you build a dam :)

Guy dug this with a shovel he’s a better man then me

Did you add rock to the bottom of the trench? How do you keep dirt from eroding into the trench?

Richard Petty would be truly proud of that car. Just need the number 43 on the side...

Tires are now truly round😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Lot of work

The ground you are standing is saturated! It is swamp land - you can’t change the water table by digging! You’ve just passed the problem onto someone down stream! A mini digger can get through a gap 1 meter wide then extend its tracks out to go to work. Ffs!

Line-Lock is fun.

First.....why the trees ?? If you want a waterway.....you remove all trees / brush ( grass wont grow here theres shade .... Widen out the waterway so the water can spread out.....thus not cause cutting action. Many options you can use to solve this problem !

you have a decent lawsuit here.

Then a beaver family comes and ruin the day! - My pond is now a lake due to beavers :O( and I got many dead trees that have their roots underwater... I love beavers but I also hate them, if that makes sense.

Thats the problem of the pond owner. Not your issue, man. Come on.

Thats so cool

my mazda doesnt need a wet road...

Wet tires... LOL

My 07 Dodge Ram 2500 will power brake on wet pavement. C'mon man. Let's see a raw just smash it to the floor burnout! I am sure it will do it!

That is what our trench sounds like but it has rocks sticks leave dirt trash etc so we can let it flow normal I wanna stop it then let it flow

Wow !

Got a second gear scratch 😊

Just imagine how sick you were, if you bought a new 1967 Charger, the day you saw the new 1968 Charger.

always someone to help make it not fun

Great, now try it without the brake.

All you had to do was make a complaint to L & I let them take care of it 😮
