    Hello All! Mom here. I wanted to address some of the comments I have seen on this video and a few others. They have made remarks about my daughter, Jennifer, saying that she doesn’t ever help me or makes me do the bulk of the work. Firstly, I absolutely, respectfully disagree with any comment that says anything like that. Second, I want you all to know that I am strong and very capable of doing this work. If I don’t want to do it or don’t think I can then I don’t and if she tried to hinder me she would not win. 😂 Third, my daughter is a deep tissue massage therapist who knows how injuries can happen and always keeps my well-being in mind when we go out and informs me of ways to keep from getting injured. Lastly, my daughter owns her own business as a massage therapist (which is a very physical job) and usually works a 45-50 hour week. Most of the time working an 8-10 hour day. Some of the videos you watch she has already worked a long day and still comes out with me. There are times where she is exhausted but still wants to help. She has already given of her time, effort and generosity of her heart to help others with their aches and pains all day but she still wants to give more back to others. She does all of the filming and setup of the cameras. She does all of the editing and uploading to TH-cam. And now she is working hard to make sure the subtitles are working properly for those that are deaf or use another language. We use her truck and she has to clean the inside and out every time we get home. She is incredibly talented and hardworking and helps both myself, her dad and granny with numerous projects and keeps our bodies going with massage. Please, please give her the respect she has earned and deserves by not criticizing her work ethic. It hurts my heart and her feelings to think that y’all believe she is lazy or taking advantage of me. I love her and hope that you all can see her amazing qualities too. Thank you respectfully,
    Mom ❤

      You shouldn’t judge someone over just watching it on a video unless you know the person another situation never judge. I’m using 2023 as a year of kindness. If you cannot spread kindness do not spread hate. It’s the little things that mean a lot to people when you say please and thank you or you complement them on their job instead of bringing everyone down. Try a little kindness next time you think about getting mad because people aren’t cateringTo you or things are not going fast enough for you.

I going to try and watch all of your videos. (the widle life people planted some beavers in the swamps where my farm was in Tenn and we didn't realize what they were doing until we saw the leaves on the trees dying because of the water was backed up around them. We took care of the beaver dams with some dymite but it was a never ending battle. Thanks for a very good video. )Mississippi Gulf Coast, USA).

      Only two things I can see that they might need to do; get taller boots, and remove the bigger logs and branches by hand before breaking out the rakes. Other than that, they seem to be on it.

    When you get all the sticks etc off the top and your just pulling mud, try stamping and twising on the mud with your boots and you'll find it breaks down the mud so you don't have to keep pulling so much. I watch Post 10 and Terrell Spivey do it, it really helps. Maybe give it a try. Terrell calls it the dam dance lol.

      Hello Lesley, I’m so sorry about that. I’ve been watching videos and trying to figure out the subtitle problem since the beginning. When it’s a longer video sometimes TH-cam doesn’t work as well or if there is a lot of ambient noise going on. I promise I will try my best to make sure it is working on future videos. Cause when TH-cam gives me the option then I make sure it is available.

    Hi Mom and Jen, I love your videos and love how you gave us your stories. You said you were open to advice. I feel like I can give just a little tiny piece because we're my fiancé has his business. we have several beaver 🦫 dams, and I have a potato rake and use it to dismantle dams that are big like this. It takes a long time to get to the bottom of the dams, but you have to do it, or they will continue right where you left off and reinforce it better. If you were to make a big enough and deep enough area, it would take them longer to rebuild unless like I advised to completely dismantle it. And it's great you have each other and not doing it alone..and if you don't know the area you don't want to let all the debris to go down stream because it can cause a blockage and make things worse. That happened to me lol and another business way down the road was talking with us one day and mentioned that all of a sudden that when we would get a lot of rain, he would get flooded. My fiancé and I looked at each other then went for a ealk and saw it was from me. So, just some little advice. But you are doing an amazing job. Keep up the great work and teamwork. Can't wait to see what you ladies have in store for us!!! 👏 ❤️😊😊

    • @culvertsandmore
      @culvertsandmore  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thank you for the advice! Thankfully, we know that this is the last culvert before the River. This one road we do has tons of beaver dams and thankfully it’s the road closest to the river. We were both cautious about not draining the entire thing because we didn’t want to completely destroy their habitat just drain enough for the road to not flood with the next rain. Good job on the beaver dam removal to you! 🦫
