Went out to the shop just now and it’s got an inch or 2 of water in it. On the back side of the shop there is an overhead door that I never use. In the pasture behind that the water from the back average drains in that area toward the road. There is some dirt work done next to the shop, basically they built a small levee behind the barn and shop to direct water toward the road instead of in the shop. The problem is there is a space about 5 feet wide between the backside of this and the shop that water will pond and if it gets up to the door will come in. I have not seen it this bad before but I have been meaning to see if I can get an angle blade for the tractor and cut a ditch at the end of the shop to let this water drain out toward the road instead of getting deep enough to get into the shop. The closed overhead door on the opposite wall was holding water in so I cracked it open to allow it just flow out the other side. I need to solve this problem ASAP so this does not continue to happen. Water also runs thru the barn which I would like to stop. It also has this levee behind and to the high side of the barn but still gets water thru it. I think it’s runoff from the roof. For that I’m probably going to need to haul in some dirt to build up the level of the dirt floor inside the shop so water does not come in. After it does, it’s literally a mud pit in there.
