Major flood waters all around here from all the rain lastnight

[@danlingle7760]

Bill, I don't think the plywood is going to solve your problem. Those nails popped from the ice. I would drill each board, and fasten them to the steel with stainless steel carriage bolts and lock nuts. They won't move again and the dirt and grime will fall through. It's just a suggestion. Good luck.

[@Nortekj]

LOL Bill, you need to film your children more, it will be something to bring back fond memories after they grow up and "fly from the nest". I'll bet your daughter is a character in person, I laughed at her antics behind you, while on your way home and talking about the restaurant.

[@johnharry7379]

That river really shifting Bill, great vid and you have a great family.

[@THYKAER]

hi bill, the wood and metal expand different, so you have to drill true both parts and use bolts and washers, sooner or later all your boards will come loose

[@bugtkz]

I've been mowing my yard and trimming the bushes and even painting the house, here where I live. And you still have snow up where you live...

[@fivehigh4718]

and good idea of the fill in the gully ... will work good man, thumbs up

[@fillg]

I'd say put your waders on and go under your bridge (when the water goes down a bit) and screw some brackets of some sort to the bottom of the boards to hold them to your beams. Even with plywood or other boards on top, it could still tip to the side if you get a couple boards in a row that come loose.

[@big62]

Water probably got in between the boards and the steel beams and froze causing the board's and the steel beams to be pushed apart as the ice expanded a bit like what happens underground at the cemetery entrance when you say how in the summer the gate dose not touch the ground but in winter it dose. Hope this helps you bill.

[@airsoftsnipes100]

the river where I normally go skiing in vermont rose out of the river channel which was just a concrete culvert that directed it through the town and rose another six feet to flood the whole town. Like that river you looked at at 8:54

[@DavesInHisGarage]

Lol bill almost showing us how to dive!

[@AndrewLindamood]

BILLSTMAXX :) Here are my recommendations friend..Use self tapping screws with washers on the boards , that will keep them from popping. I bet you It was from the ice swelling up the boards causing them to pop up like that.. Drill a hole first through the board before tapping the screws in. As for the dirt fore and after the bridge, use a tamper to pack the dirt down (when moist not wet or dry) then cover with fill dirt repeat tamping then cover with crushed rock.

[@garydodson6737]

Putting plywood on top of the bridge planks will trap moisture and rot everything quickly.

[@austinwilburn6642]

Hey Bill did you go and look at the lake at all to see how high it is?

[@SledgeHammer43]

I was a heavy equipment operator and over the over the road truck driver next winter use Howell's anti jell seems to work the best I was in upper NY state when the air temperature was at -25 and never had a problem but watch your fuel filter for water build up

[@thersaholycow]

They make some good waterproofing paint for you're basement walls. My basement leaked and after 3 coats it's dry as a bone.

[@AndrewLindamood]

BILLSTMAXX :) Oh and wouldn't it be hilarious while knocking on those mausoleums , if one had knocked back?

[@billstmaxx]

[@samuelwilloughby8987]

[@farmboy0904]

[@tssracing14]

[@IDIGUY1977]

Grand valley Ontario eh? I'm over in Toronto way...

[@corybodette]

don't nail use screws. For me screws held up longer than nails did in the elements

[@ChampTruex]

The river made me dizzy

[@zx8401ztv]

Oh moma, thats one big flood :-( Lucky that your house is a little higher. Feel sorry for the people of the area though, runined basements and goods ;-((

[@ADSC2006]

Rivers are high here as well and were going to be getting more rain.

[@Widowmaker173]

man dont miss that couple years ago sump pump got clogged with rock abd ended up with a foot of water in basement no fun

[@Tristan102100]

bill was more worried aboyt his 1k dollar camera than himself when he almost fell in.

[@samuelwilloughby8987]

you should have gone out the other side of town about 1km and there is a gravel pit called greenwood aggregates and the water there was crazy this year

[@kawasakikx8093]

Maybe when u nailed down the boreds they snaped cause it was kind of chilly out

[@sc0tte1-416]

Grand River goes to lake Erie not Toronto Bill :P

[@farmerkjs6042]
