[@chrischristenson4547]

How long do you expect the wooden rebar the last when it is fully below the surface and sealed up I know the piers in London bridge lasted several hundred years when they were married well and I know that fence posts like to ride only at the surface. I like the way you use imagination to solve a difficult problem

[@nieldcreek2098]

Nice to see a like minded thinker. It’s like an old mentor told me a long time ago, he basically said: “it takes more than just being an equipment operator, cause anybody can learn the controls and operate the machine… it takes skill, experience and intuition to know what to do with the dirt once you scoop it up…”

[@chrishoneycutt9839]

Wow mark you are very talented. Awesome to see you at work . I couldn’t stop watching it just to see you turn nothing into an awesome road for those people to use as an access. I got your channel from red Poppy Ranch. Just throwing them a shout out anyways your channel is great keep up the good work buddy.👍🏻

You are one gifted man Mark it's like you and that machine are ONE lol. Your vision of landscape and boulder placement is off the charts. God has blessed you for sure and I imagine your neighbor is very very grateful for your gifts. God is Blessing you sir.

[@davehalloween1684]

Just a thought see on driveway over ditches. Take and stack cement bags the upside of the ditch where the to hold the dirt from washing. Nice thing is he can buy a few bags at a time throw summer to build up .

[@likearockcm]

The winter snow sure took it's toll ! I suspect he will have no further issues. I'm once again surprised by Mark's s range of knowledge

[@farmernledell]

Mark your abilities are inspirational !! I’m seriously learning how to set up and or FIX the creak behind our house to better access our piece of the mountain 🤩

[@peterslegers6121]

Nice job! It's great to get an idea of how you can make the road and creekbed solid again. You make it seem easy and that's a joy to watch.

[@hallenw]

Good job Mark. A more permanent solution would be concrete “wings” to funnel the water into the pipe.

Hey, I recognize that place! It's Busted Wagon Ranch! I remember when they first put those pipes in. I pray all is well with them, they haven't posted anything in a long time.

[@MountainMapleRanch]

Sorry wrong place. They are actually up the road a 1/4 mile or so from us and this is a different neighbor who is directly across the road from us. I believe he has about the same pipe as Busted Wagon but different driveway. Busted Wagon folks are doing great and all is well with them, just not doing KZbin anymore. :)

[@Deerhavenhomesteading]

Amazing work with your excavator. You make it look so easy. ❤

[@alanbierhoff6831]

Nice job 😊

[@martinvho]

This might be a painful question, but do you get paid for these kinds of jobs, or do you do it out of kindness to others, so they will be there for you when the time comes? I'd like to know more how communities like this operate, if, for instance, you have some sort of bartering system set up where you trade goods and favors, eggs for beef for instance.

[@MountainMapleRanch]

He hired me for this job and I gave him a substantial discount from my normal rates since it's literally across the road from me. If it were a quick help with something then its usually a matter of "help me, I'll help you" and if it is something like the main road that we all need to have operational, then we all just pitch in whatever our skills or availability allows. Its all case by case.

[@andyanderson9165]

He stated that the homeowner HIRED him to repair driveways...

[@sharonmilton4854]

What a great job!

[@chucklogan9611]

To bad they couldn’t have brought out a couple loads of big boulders to beef up on both sides of the pipes to

[@MountainMapleRanch]

The property owner has a skid steer and MANY boulders on his place and is planning to deliver some along the sides on his own.

I've fished rivers with less flow than that crick, well trucks able to deliver ,guess road open again

[@black_dog_barks]

That wasn't easy working with all that water flowing... turned out well. I am sure the next few weeks road repair is # 1 task for all the neighbors.

[@tracyboyd4867]

Well I learned a few things in that video guys Ive watched a lot of culverts go in but never knew the proper way they should be thanks Marc you explain things really well...I bet your neighbour is glad you could fix his driveway goodness know how long he would have to wait to get someone with the time or guts to drive up your main road with a heavy load they would be sinking...you are good ppl...😊

[@MountainMapleRanch]

We are actually trying to get away from Timelapse all together. Our newest content is more raw and less Timelapse. Thanks for the feedback

[@slamsshenanigans2296]

Your an awesome neighbor Mark, but using the deadfall is a terrible idea. As it decomposes it will erode faster than just plain soil bud.

[@lanejohnson1245]

Agree.

[@dankification]

I feel like the pipe was way undersized if you live in a region where there is lots of snow in winter but all melt in spring. You’d be having to repair every year

[@RichardHeadGaming]

All that plant matter you mixed into what you think is a bank will rot in the next year or two and all of what you fixed will become lose and sink. If you want to make a road/dam that will last it has to be water proof "Clay" or made of rock. That originally washed out so bad because it had a lot of sand in it.

[@andrewcleave4935]

Is this Broken Wagon Ranch? That you were helping? They havent been on youtube for almost 1 year and half or is it a new land owner?

No, this is a different property owner who is right across the road from us. He lives out of the area and uses his place seasonally.
