Jacks, I will also tell you, you will need MUCH more of a Culvert than those small concrete ones. I appalude your thinking here though. A single 36 or 48 in culvert will carry more water than 2 concrete 24 in.ers. The rub occurs when in the rainy season or snow melt time when the little 6in deep by 2 ft wide creek get 2 ft wide by 4 ft deep and you are backing water up, up stream with the 8 ft. berm over the culvert. If it washes out you will have a larger problem than your first problem of just trying to cross the creek. You need to know how high and wide that creek get at it's biggest!!!!!! Ask around the local construction and road construction co. see if any one has a decent 3ft or 4 ft X 25 ft long Used culvert they would sell. We bought 12 or so 4 yrs ago for $100 ea. My creek is a wet weather problem from 12 ft wide and 4 in deep to 15 ft wide and 5+ ft deep . Washed out 3 , 3ft X 25 ft long, had 3 to 4 ft of calachie road base over the culverts. Next time, will add one more culvert and maybe a concrete cap over the road base. To keep it from washing out.. My Suggestions ....Over Engineer This project!!! or you do not have to re-address this problem. If you do not, it will wash out, only to have to fix it again later and the working conditions may not be as ideal as when you plan to do the project the first time. Hope this helps. Later, John A.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
