I got to have my coffee on the tractor this am. This is why I always keep a wheeler load of gravel on hand. Been pouring all day. I did make my parking pad for wood bigger. I'll take some pics when I'm done building an arc.

What a washout! Is that your driveway I assume if you are repairing it? If so I am very jealous, what beautiful property!
 
Looks like you had a real gulley washer there!

Yeah.. this culvert has been overfull twice in 4 years. Time for a bigger one. Water came up about 4' in the ditch to make it over the top. It MIGHT have had a little help in some small brush that was on the bank about 50 yards down.

Half mile of driveway. Wash was only about 2" on the uphill side. Was still passable by car. Downhill side needed about two feet of gravel. It used up all my stored material. That's ok.. I've been getting a bit of gravel to make the wood processing/storing area bigger. I KNow, I know.. Pics. To dang wet out there. Back to work tomorrow.

No fun to cut wood in the rain anyway :)

Maybe you need to stock it with trout. LOL :)
 
Sump pump here has run more in the last 24 hours than I think it did most of the Spring . . . my yard looks like mid-Spring with all the puddles.

I saw some places received 5+ inches of rain your way, last spring up here some camps/houses were flooded out but this year has been real dry until the last 10 days so, we need it.

these last couple of weeks EVERYTHING has had to wait. it seems its always raining on my days off. i can't cut wood, cut the lawn, haul stuff around my property, spray the poison ivy, pour the footings for the stairs, etc. all these projects have to wait. plus, no rock climbing for me and the wife. but....i'll take this over a drought. thankfully we haven't had flooding rains, just consistent soakers. a pain in the arse but droughts are scary. in my humble opinion.
