Arlo was entertaining himself while entertaining us. He is such a joy. Whoot whoot the water is flowing.

[@michiganengineer8621]

Some others have suggested going on a hunt for those other culverts and getting them as cleaned out as you can before the real thaw. You might want to put a fiberglass pole at one or both ends of them so they'll be easier to find the next time the beavers get busy! Kittens are so SO helpful when you're trying to do something 🤣🤣

[@larryparker1585]

You should remove the culvert pipe in the spring and reset it. Sink holes will continue, otherwise. Also consider rock head walls. Less surface for the twigs and branches to catch on.

That's usually a sign that the pipe is rotten along the bottom when you start to get sink holes. Make sure you clean out the rest of the pipes along the road also, preventative maintenance.

I love the gray cabinet in the pantry. How nice to organize your foods and other items in such a nice pantry. AL -- why not contact someone who is an expert in environmental ecosystems -- beavers do have a place in the grand scheme of natural ecosystems.

You should try using a garden rake to pull out the debris from the culvert. It will hook into the stuff and make it a little easier to pull out.

@@bushranger51 What Post10 seems to hate is people being careless or sloppy with excavators near culverts. Clearly, Al was being quite careful.

[@OriginalLictre]

Good morning, Lumnah family. Glad to see Arlo being happily exploratory. Al, if you don't mind some advice, it might be a worthwhile project to do a walk-through of the drainage ditches on both sides of your road, so you know where all the culverts are, and can unplug the ones that need it. Then, either late this spring or summer, climate permitting, do a re-dig of your drainage ditches to make sure the flows are as they should be. This way, you'll only have to keep an eye out for beavers, instead of other terrain-based drainage obstructions.

[@SandraVanLankvelt]

[@hollandduck79]

hello from the Netherlands Lumnah Family . hi All this is just a tip for the next time a colvert is full : put your shovel in the middle of the colvert , then position the mini digger so that the arm of the mini digger is centered over the colvert , then remove the bucket from your mini digger (because you don't want to dig up anything like the colvert) , and then pull the stuff out of the colvert with the thumb of the mini digger . for extra goodness maybe put a camera (Go-pro) opposite the colvert on a tripod and then connect to an app on your phone or tablet (larger image) to see the height of your thumb of the mini digger that you with the thumb IN the jacket to be able to pull the rubbish out . and for the mess IN the colvert : maybe make some kind of "anchor" something with a long rope that floats , then let the rope go through the current through the colvert to the other side and then pull the "anchor" through it on the rope . pull and pull the junk out. I'm already looking forward to your next colvert video haha thanks for the video Al . Sincerely Hollandduck

Just a suggestion while I don't have beavers I do deal with a few culvert washouts and undercuts. After the water level drops get a couple sheets of plywood and make a cutout that fits around the culvert snugly you can use spray foam to fill any gaps, and fill all around with concrete this will flow into the gaps and also let you form a curb on both sides, costly yes but as I like to say one and done. good luck
