^^^^^^ Hmmmm......you know that might just work. Thank You.

Respectfully, I disagree. But....I will be the first to come back here and admit I was wrong (if I am). Of course it will be awhile before we know. It will take some traffic and time to see how much the bricks settle. But I will post pics as things develop. Thank you for your advice. Flint

There is a little of room to the left of the path that drops off pretty steeply and is actually the 'end' of the horseshoe shaped hillside. But not really any room to manuver a tractor and the entire area is trees and tree roots. Otherwise, I see what you are proposing and it would channel...

At the crossing itself....the goal is simply to create a 'hard bottom'. It matters not that silt will top the bricks (to some degree) as water flows over it. I expect there to be water and some silt/mud flowing over the crossing. That is not the area I am concerned with. The path leading down...

Put a little more brick in the 'crossing' area (larger brick) and will now start putting in the smaller 'filler' bricks. As soon as I feel it will support the tractor I am going to drive over it and see how much of it get pressed into the mud bottom of the spring branch. I'm confident I can...

If no marking on the PTO probably metric. So go down to your nearest Harbor Freight, buy their metric zerk variety pack and it will probably have the right one in it (thread pitch and style). Some are straight some are angled for better accesss.

Big Sow tonight (hopefully the one that has been rooting up my pasture).

Nearly impossible to knap a point from true Quartz. The structure of it doesn't lend itself to that. Even IF you did manage to get something from it, it would break very easily. There are some clear to translucent other materials Agate/Obsidian that can be worked. Plain old window glass is easy...

Agree with sharp edges and was making that same point to my brother just yesterday. Brick will be fine in the area that I have it.... as it is only there to make a hard 'bottom' where the branch flows through. I'll post a pick of the smaller bricks once in place that will tie everything...

I think its going to be a situation where I just have to keep adding material to whatever I put down....in the hopes that over time, it will create a somewhat solid path down to the crossing. The crossing itself will not be a problem. I have plenty of brick to build that up. Its the downhill...

I have a soggy spot in a Spring Branch that I've been throwing brick into (have a lot more brick to put on it) trying to create a hard bottom or short path across it. The hillside leading down to it (see pic) is not real steep but is literally a slowly seeping 'spring'. It varies in wetness...

Welcome to the Forum (fellow Texan) here. Looks like quite the project....but you have the experience to pull it off. Look forward to progress reports. Flint.

That looks to be Cast Iron, so 'welding' it back together (and it staying that way) is likely not an option for you. Used part replacement would be my route.

Same thing here. Had a bunch of bulk purchased belts come apart. Never found an adhesive that would hold up more than a minute at most. Just threw them out and ordered new (in smaller quanities).

Got it. So.....a "Box on a Deck" might be of any size or configuration. When someone posts a 'Deck Box" that sounds very specific to me and frankly never heard of a 'Deck Box'. Box on a deck (and pic) makes this issue incredibly simple. The darn thing has a lid on it right? Take any brand...

OK.....figured it might be something along those lines. So.....if the OP would simply post a pic of the set up (like I requested earlier) we could better understand the issue and conclusively provide a solution.

I guess someone needs to tell me what the heck a 'Deck Box' is?

Can you post a pic of deck box/situation? Surely there is a simple/effective solution to your problem. Doesn't sound like (to me) that any dust (to be carried in) is going to be the answer. Wasp sprays can work but require contact with each insect. A 'vapor' type insecticide would reach all...
