Dam It
When we bought the place there had just been a lot of work done to repair the levee. It has an amazing man made lake, and we are told there had previously been a swale half way across the levee and it had washed out along with a good chunk of the contents of the lake about six months prior to our purchase. Our delivery drivers tell us stories of driving across the levee and their dually tires hanging out in space on the sides. On levee closest to the house there are 3 culverts. At least I’m sure two of them are culverts as they tunnel through the levee to the other side while the third is actually a pipe that drops vertically down about six feet and then cuts over through the levee. I don’t know if that qualifies as a culvert or the proper name for it…
